The Toll Acidity Takes

You go to bed dog-tired, but the
minute you hit the pillow all sleepi-
ness vanishes. II you sleep at all,
it's only in snatches, and YOU wake
out of these "stupors" with q
strange, startled feeling, sometimes
in cold sweat. Morning finds you
rag, gaunt and hollow eyed and
barely able to crawl out of bed.
Acidity is due to our unnatural
eating habits, our excessive smok-
ing and irregular hours. The ex-
cess acid upsets digestion and
causes acid-indigestion, with gas
and heartburn. 1t causes putrefac-
ton and fermentation in the CASTRO
intestinal canal, which frequently
results in ragged nerves, sleepless-
ness, loggy days and general loss of
strength and vitality.
A remarkable new corrective of
acidity has been developed by a
famous 100-year- pharmaceu-
teal house in Germany. AS an
acid corrective it begins where milk
of magnesia and bicarbonate of
soda leave off. This new, improved
magnesia comes in the form of
small white tablets called Mag
nesia OXoids, which do not have to
be chewed, but which may be swal-
lowed whole. Magnesia Oxoids,
upon contact with the acid in the

stomach, generate ndScent, or GcttUe,
orygen! Now, active oxygen, as
any doctor will tell you when gene j
rated within the digestive tract
does just the things required, for
acidity. 1t stimulates the secretion
of the alkaline mucous. 1t checks
the putrefaction and fermentation
in the stro-intestinal canal. 1t
exercises a stimulating effect upon
the activities of the intestinal walls
and aids the movement of the
bowels.
All three effects are necessary to
the true relief of acidity, and Mag
,nesia Oxoids supply them in
perfect natural manner.

FORT WORTH, Tex, November 81.
City managers here for the annual
convention of the International City

against what he termed "conceit of

Assistant Secretary of Agriculture.
Ousley condemned the proneness of
many persons in power" to withhold
information of public business from the
constituency they represent.
He paid tribute to the officials pres

fashioning what has long been looked
upon as the great weakness in the
American governmental structure. He
warned against failure to keep the pub
lie constantly informed and civicly
alert, a failing which, he said, might
permit the city manager system to fall
into the same corruption that often
gripped the old ward government.

Pershing States Views.
1T do not understand that the Ameri-
can Army is available for ALLEGATION as
recruits to either Great Britain or
France" Pershing answered, nor for
any indefinite period. We must have
an American Army. I shall insist on
this principle that no parceling out Of
the American Army shall prevail. l
want this principle taken up and
agreed to now by this council"
The principle was enunciated by the
council, but the Army historians note
that both French and British authori-
ties accepted it with the belief that it
could not and would not be realized
until the campaigns of 1918 had ended
due to Winter. They also note that
diplomatic pressure for replacement
shipments from America was renewed
in Washington. quoting War Depart
ment cable to Pershing of May IL Show
ing that the two Ambassadors had in
formed President Wilson that Foch
planned to reopen the subject with
PerShing.
That message also informed Per-
shing that there remained in the United
States due to accelerated shipment less
than 100000 infantry and machine gun
troops with any degree OF training,
which would be the practical limit" Of
that program unless the acceptance Of

HOOVER DRY BOARD
STILL UNSOLICITED
President Apparently Drops
Plan to Have Stone as
Head of Commission.

BY the Associated Press.
President Hoover apparently has
abandoned hope Of obtaining the
services Of Harlan F. Stone, Associate
Justice of the United States Supreme
Court, as chairman of his law enforce
ment commission.
Information today was that he had
not yet selected the man who is to head
the commission, but that he had de-
termined upon several of those who will
be members. Included among them is
George W. Wickersham of New York,
Attorney General in the Taft admins
tration, and long a friend of Mr.,
Hoover.
The Chief Executive also has consid-
cred for appointment Newton D. Baker,
Secretary Of War in the Wilson ad-
ministration, and former Senator
George Wharton Pepper of Pennsyl-
vania, but whether he mes their names
on the final list of selections is in
known at this time.
Silas Strawn Of ChicKao frequently
has been mentioned in the discussions
of commission appointments but MI.
Strawn stated positively some time ago
after visiting The White House that he
would not be a member CT the COM
mission.
At the White House today it was
stated that the personnel of he COM
mission might be announced before the
end Of the month.

COACHING PLANNED
FOR PEDESTRIANS
Campaign Aims to Reduce
Accidents by instruction
on Regulations.

A 30-day campaign for the lessening
of traffic accidents by the education of
pedestrians was outlined today by the
Washington Chapter of the American
Business Club following a letter TO
Assistant TRAFFIC Director NJ. o. Ed
ridge requesting his aid.
The efforts of the club will be d.
rected along two channels based on
a thorough statistical study of traffic
casualties in Washington. This study
has disclosed that the great majority
of accidents are caused by pedestrians
crossing intersections against stop
signs and by carelessly walking from
behind parked automobiles. The drive
will be directed almost solely against
these two things.
Although Mr. Eldridge has not yet
formally answered the communication,
he has let it be known that he will
assign as many policemen as can be
spared to the educational work proposed
by the club. It is planned to select
several of the busiest downtown inter
sections and post an officer on each
corner, making four men at each inter-
section.
The duty of these policemen will be
to control the pedestrian traffic, at first
by admonitions, but. II violations con-
tinue. by the issuance of tickets" to
post collateral or appear in court. This
is made possible by recently enacted
regulation making it unlawful to cross
against red light. 1t is hoped by this
means to get at least portion of the
inhabitants of the city accustomed to
the regulation.
To prevent pedestrians from walking
from behind parked cars will be more
difficult, it is pointed out, since there
is no law governing this point The
campaign will be compelled to operate
along this line by appeals through the
various publicity agencies.
Sam A. Syme, chairman Of the spe-
cial committee in charge Of the drive.
said today that he intends to solicit
the aid of the street car companies and
the civic organizations. He thinks that
the car companies will agree to the
placing of slogan posters on the front
of their cars. It Is also planned 10
employ the radio in the work.

lens he faced the Army historians
say.
Just how much of a necessity allied
statesmen as we'll as soldiers regarded
the use Of American troops as replace
ments in their armies is revealed in con-
nection with the London agreement"
Of April "a in which Pershing assented
to give priority during May troop ship
ments to Infantry and machine-gun
units Of six divisions to be trained
and used temporarily with British forces.
This grew out of the placing Of addi-
tional British troop carrying tonnage
at his disposal for the purpose.
War Council Meets.
On May l. 2, however, the Supreme
War Council met at Abbevilie, France,
with Premier Clemenceau presiding and
Premiers Lloyd George and Orlando
also present as well as Foch, Petain,
Haig, PerShing and Bliss and others
Clemenceau disapproved the London
agreement for American infantry and
machine gun shipments in May for the
British army unless similar shipments
for the French army followed in June.
Pershing promptly told the council that
the allies could not decide what the
United States would do with its forces,
but Clemenceau was insiStent.
Lloyd George interviewed to ask:
why consider France and England?
Let us consider the whole Of the allies.
England's losses Gin the great German
offensive then in progreSs) are the
greatest, hence we must have replace
