There are many diseases and af-

stance, you suffer from Ivy poison
ing only during the warm season.
This is true also of oak poisoning.
OF curse these two plants are very
much alike. Oak grows in Califor-
mia and the Pacific states. Ivy Is
met in the middle and eastern
states.
The symptoms Of Ivy and oak
poisoning are similar. They begin
with an intense itching Of the skin.
This Is followed by a burning rash.
and very shortly the formation Of
small papules close together.

Washington Letter
BY HERBERT c. PLUnTNIER

WASHINGTON. June 25.-It certainly means
something when the president of the United States
asks where there is a good fishing hole.
When nc expresses a desire to try one out 1t be-
comes a matter Of vital concern and the signal for
much activity on the part Of a large number Of people.
Think Of what happened when President Hoover
declared he would like to try his luck in certain
streams in the Blue Ridge mountains of Virginia and
Maryland.
First. a read survey had to be made TO determine
whether the presidential party could reach the two
camps in comfort
1t was found that the Maryland location could be
reached without much difficulty. but the Virginia
camp was e different story. Nothing but a horse or q
log wagon ever had been able to reach the site Sc
lected. No White House car would attempt so rough
and rocky a road.
It required the combined efforts Of a large force
Of the Virginia state road commission and the first
regiment Of the United States marines to make II
passabe for the cars Of the official guests.
1890
PHONE LIGHT
But the greatest difficulty came in the installation
Of electric light and telephone service.
Again the Maryland camp was provided with those
facilities, but the Virginia location proved a knotty
problem.
In establishing telephone service ID was necessary
to rebuild and strengthen an existing pole line be-
tween Organge and Madison, a distance Of about Is
miles. From Madison to the presidents camp an en-
tirely new line Of IS more miles had to be constructed.
For more than seven miles the line had to be con-
structed literally up hill and down dale" The great
er part was located through heavy timber and laurel
thicket.
Some So men utilized six motor trucks, one earth
borer for digging holes. an air compressor for drill
ing rock holes and a large number Of horse-drawn
vehicles for hauling poles and material into inaccessi-
bic places where the motor trucks could not operate.
The electric light company faced much the same
conditions.
COMFORT
And all the work had to be done with great
rapidity.
Due to the combined efforts Of this small army Of
men, the president may now fish surrounded by much
the same comforts that prevail at the White House
He may travel by fast automobile over smooth
roads. covering the 100 miles from Washington in a
few hours. His camp is heated by stoves. lighted bv
electricity, with the telephone and radio as means Of
communication.
Things that happen anywhere in the world can be
communicated to the president within a few minutes
after they are reported to the executive offices in
Washington.

The Toll Acidity Takes

You go to bed dog-tired, but the
minute you hit the pillow all sIeepi-
ness vanishes. If you do sleep at
all, it's only in snatches and you wake
out of these 'stupors'' with strange,
startled feeling, sometimes in cold
sweat. Morning finds you a rag,
gaunt and hollow-eyed and barely
able to crawl out of bed.
Acidity is due to our unnatural cat
ing habits, our excessive smoking and
irregular hours. The excess acid up
sets digestion and causes acid-indiges-
ton with gas and heartburn. 1t
causes putrefaction and fermentation
in the gastro-intestinal canal which
frequently results in ragged nerves,
sleeplessness, loggy days and general
loss Of strength and vitality.

acidity has been developed by q ia

BROTHERS
SEEK LOST
DOCTOR

NEW YORK, Nov. l8 (U.S.l.-
Like an episode from Dumas or
Victor Hugo is the quest, begun
today, by four brothers for the
murderers or abductors Of the
fifth.
The brothers are led by q
chevalier who is a commander in
Italy's famous police body, the
Carabinieri. This brother has
taken q years leave to solve the
mystery.
The four brothers are Chevalier-
Commander TomaSso Brancati,
Of Naples, and .Ernesto, Ercole
and Creste Brancati, of New York.
Never Came Back
The brother whose fate they
seek to solve is Dr.. Charles Bran
cati, Bronx millionaire owner Of
real estate. DR.. Brancatf disap-
peared on November 10, 1923,
under circumstances Of absolute
mystery.
DR.. Brancati left the famous
Morris mansion on Long Island
Sound In the southeastern part Of
the Bronx to go to Wall Street.
He was arranging with Fortune
Gallo, the inpreSario, and others
to buy q seat on the stock ex-
change. He was wealthy. Among
the properties which he owned
was the Morris mansion itself. DR..
Brancati's automobile was In q
repair shop that day and so he
was driven to the subway by a
friend.
He did not arrive In Wall Street
and he did not return home that
night.
In a few days his brothers, Err
cole, ErneSto and Oresto began to
receive letters in italian which
were almost illiterate but which
appeared to be signed by DR..
Brancati.
He told them he was on a hunt
Ing trip. that he was away on busi-
ness. The letters began at Passaic,
N. j., but soon shifted to Boston,
Montreal, and ultimately to Lon
don and Liverpool.
100000 Drawn
These letters kept the brothers
from investigating. But eventually
they found that during the time
these letters had been received
by them, 1904 900 had been, with
drawn under a power Of attorney
from q stock account of DR.. Bran
cati with Hardy q Co., at their
branch in Park Row. 4
The brothers and the police
interviewed George Archiero,
manager Of the branch office Of
the stockholders. Archiero pro-
duced q power Of attorney, dated
on q Sunday shortly before DR..
Brancati's disappearance, and ap-
parently signed by pr. Brancati.
This transferred the account to

Jailing Of Reporters
Called Tyranny

reporters were instructed by the
District Attorney to tell where
they got those addresses-wh
told them that booze was being
sold there. He asked from whom
tfey had purchased booze, This
they refused TO divulge.
Asked TO Violate Code
Maybe they got the informa-
ton from a bootlegger who sup
piled the joints, or q Congress
man, Senator, judge, lawyer, doc
tor, or pierman who drank there.
Obviously, to reveal the source
OF information would be serious
breach Of the journalistic code
and would result In these young
men being held up to ridicule
and scorn in their profession.
But, Of course. this feature Of
life is noe recognized by the local
laws.
"What the District Attorney,
Mr.. Rover, plainly sought was to
make these reporters serve as
prOae0s Sing witnesses though he
must well know that the function
Of the newspaper Is to inform,
not prosecute, certainly not as
sumo vicariOus responsibility Of
the dry enforcement agents.
''It is plain ~ . pikestaff to
anyone who wishes to see IL, that
the newspaper men did all that
could reasonably be expected Of
them when they complained that
the law was being violated In 40
places, giving addresses.
District Attorney Rover, 1t ap-
pears, was unappreciative Of this
public service. He turned savage
" upon men who were in the
attitude Of uphoIdfng the arms
Of government, and the Judge on
the bench looked sOlemnly down
and uttered "45 days In prison."
Blood Penalty Exacted
Three honest reporters sent to
jail like common criminals for
aiding the government to enforce
the dry act! Just another
instance Of blind and staggering
justice, exacting penalties of
blood and torture from those who
dare serve spiritual causes!
More food for the cynic who
calls this a barbaric civilization
wherein the groSSer and more
audacious elements sneer In the
facSc Of sensitive and character
full men!
"Just another literal Judge and
railroad-minded district attorney
using the power the people have
put into their hands to yield, not
common-sense interpretations Of
justice, but the hard letter Of the
law!
THE only daylight in this pic
ture comes from Senator Arthur
Capper. He can do nothing for
the three reporters In Jail, but he
might do something for the
future. He will ask Congress to
enact for the District of Colurn-
bia law like the Maryland. law,

newspaper man to respect conf
dences and withhold sources Of
information.

by Judge Peyton Gordon, former
military man and former district
attorney of the District Of Co
llImbia; ON q contempt charge
growing out Of their refusal to
divulge sources of information to
the Grand Jury.
They are being punished for an
act which is legal in the State
Of Maryland, q few miles distant
from the prison that confines
them. They are treated as crirl1i-
mails, though the object Of their
enterprise plainly was to serve
the public veal. They did exactly
what any honorable newspaper
man would have done.
Here, in the opinion OF Editor
and Publisher, Is a mercileSs,
mean, unjust and indecent case
of judicial tyranny, as wretched
as any modern newspaper history
records. And the shocking fea.
tllre is that no one in authority
seems to care. No fight Is being
made for these mems
After they were arrested q
writ of habeas corpus was OBJ
tanned and they were released on
bail for q few days. Then their
counsel informed them that,
under the law, they could not
expect to win an appeal, and,
assuming that they were merely
forestaling the inevitable, they
surrendered and began serving
their time.
Their publisher is generous to
them, offering handsome rewards
for their sacrifice, but this has
nothing to do with the question
of principle involved. The Times
has protested, the staff indignant,
but nothing has come Of the
matter. So it stands, dismal and
disgusting, untouched by any au-
thOrity with enough spiritual
vision or manhood to throw q
plank to q drowning dog.
Their Job Well Done
what did these reporters do,
which was so reprehensible that
Judge Gordon must send them to
Jail for As days, with q repeat
dose threatened If they continue
to be obstinate after their re,
lease? They had been assigned
by their city editor to get infor-
nation concerning the illicit sale
of liquor in the National Capital.
II that was not a good and
proper assignment, in view Of the
well-known facts concerning pro
hibition enforcement in this coun-
try, we have never heard OF one.
''They did the job, and ably.
The Times printed an account Of
their discoveries, a list Of 40
places in the center Of Washing
ton where booze was sold, but
for reasons best known to: the
editor probably he did not wish
to print q directory of local
speakeasies- the actual addresses
were not printed In the newspa-
per. In general, however, the
places were described.

before the Grand Jury and asked
to supply the actual addresses.
This seemed proper and the city
