EXCESS acid is the common cause
of indigestion. 1t results in pain and
sourness about two hours after eat
ing. The quick corrective is an alkali
which neutralizes acid. The best
corrective is Phillips Milk of Mag
nesia. 1t has remained standard with
physicians in the SO years since its
invention.
One spoonful of Phillips Milk of
Magnesia neutralizes instantly many
times its volume in acid. Harmless,
and tasteless, and yet its action is
quick. You will never rely on crude
methods, once you learn how quickly
this method acts. Be sure to get
the genuine.
The ideal dentifrice for clean
teeth and healthy gums is Phillips
Dental Magnesia, a superior tooth
paste that safeguards against acid
mouth.

HIS is the story of dining car,
Z the most famous dining car per-
4 II haps in all history. You will find
* II 1t enshrined in memorial building
VMl at the little town of Rethondes in
l MA Compiegne Forest in France. It
l Kk&&$M does not have name 1t is only
\ @N%%A Dining Car No. 2419D of the
4 @%SS%M Wagons-I.its company. But here
h WTMNXNN history was made, for In this car
n }lWVNAV on November IL, 1913 the terms Of
4 NH1 the Armistice, which ended the
N EHN greatest war in all history, were
~ Co., signed.
Dining Car No. 2419D joined the
French army in 1914 to be converted into a rail-
way saloon of a senior French officer. It served
throughout the war and in 1918 it was used by
General Ferdinand Foch when he became Mar
shall Foch, commander in chief of the Allied
armies. So it was into this early in the
morning Of November 8, 1915 that the repre-
sentatives Of the German government came to
listen to the terms of an Armstice for which
they had asked, which Foch would be willing
to grant them.
Picture now the scene which took place ON
that morning. In the center Of the car is a
table, On one side stand French and British
officers, the victors. On the other side stand
German officers and civilians, the vanquished.
General Weygand, Foch's chief of staff, was at
mirals, Hope and Wemyss. AS they took their
seats Matthias Erzberger, the head of the Ger
man delegation, was facing Admiral Hope. Gen.
eral Won Winterfeldt, the second German peni-
p0tentiary, was facing Foch. A German marine,
Captain Vanselow, was seated beside Won Win
terfeldt and the German diplomat, Count Oben-
dorf sat beside Erzberger Lieutenant Leperche
seated himself at the end of the table and two
of FOchs staff officers, Major Riedinger and
do od OF txUn oil
tables at one side. Here is the story of what
took place as told by Foch himself:
'When they entered my drawing room in the
car. saw them standing. pale and stiff. One
of them, whom guessed to be Matthias Err
berger. asked in rather weak voice, permits
sion to make the presentations
81 simply said Gentlemen have you any docu-
ments? We shall examine their validity Then
they showed me documents signed by Prince
Max Of Baden which 7 deemed to be Satisfac-
tory. Then turning toward Erzberger said
to him, What do you want?" He replied in
still troubled voice. we have come to receive
the proposal of the Allied Powers in view of an
armistice. I cut in rather sharply (and this
was the only time was sharp. 4 have no pro-
posal whatsoever to plake.' The four Germans
consulted one another with their eyes Wells
said one of them. Count Ohendorff, Tell us,
Monsieur lie Marechal, how you. wish US to ex-
press ourselves Our delegation Is prepared
to ask you the conditions of an armistice' I
insisted, DO you ask formally for an Grmlstice%
Yes, we do Then, please sit down and will
read the conditions of the Allies to YOU
II began to read the conditions of the ar
mistlce slowly. After each paragraph stopped
to permit the Interpreter to translate. Then I
looked at my interlocutors and followed the i'm
preston 81 their faces during the translation.

GRAIN PRICES DROP

RECOVER near END
Wheat, Corn, Oats and Rye All
Suffer; Vigorous Buying
Power Lacking

Chicago, March 30.-(R-Wheat,
corn, oats and rye each slid down
Monday to new bottom price levels,
hut recovered before the close. An
increase Of the United States wheat
visible supply contributed to the gen.
eral break In prices. The extreme
Setbacks. although outdoing records,
showed only about a cent q bushel
loss on the principal grains, and ap-
parently resulted more from dearth
OF vigorous buying power than from
aity unusual pressure to sell.
3. Wheat tns t,, closed nervous 's-nc above Ct .

S.kc. oats M-1Mc Oft, and provi-
sions varying from Sc decline to &c
Switching Of wheat brokers to the
largest trading pit on the exchange
floor, whereas corn brokers returned
to their former quarters took place
smoothly, the change being well 1ln-
derstood beforehand.
Wheat opened Y cent lower to u
up, and afterwards showed an add
tional sag. Corn started unchanged
to y cent off, and subsequently re-
ceded all around.
Com dropped to fresh low price
records for the season, and carried
wheat down also to new bottom rec
ords. wheat reaching levels unequalet:
In many years. Much Of the selling
which accompanied the fall OF values
was ascribed largely to a report from.
the United States Department of Ag-
rtculture saying that farmers inten
tionS to increase corn acreage this
year almost S per cent would he like
~ to result In the largest corn crop
In this country since 1923, and that
corn prices could be expected to go
to a lower level. Oats weakened will,
other cereals.
Aside from notice OF an ideal out
look for domestic wheat growth and
also aside from corn market weak
ness. a further beariSh factor was
likelihood of intensified Russian COM
petition owing to word that tn. Rome
conference to solve the problem Of
tho international wheat surplus had
virtually collapsed. In this COnnec-
ton. it was announced that although
North American breadstuff exports
were slightly larger than last year
the total to date this season was very
much below that Of the year previous
owing to Russian shipments and t1
world financial depression.
Provisions were relatively fun OW-
Ing to hog market upturns.
