TAKING ALKALIS TO RELIEVE
ACIDITY

Every one knows that in healthy
person the stomach is acid during the
digestion of food.
Excessive acidity of the stomach is
common manifestation of chronic
cholecystitis, with or without gall
stones, and of sheer worry.
A considerable share of those who
constantly take soda, magnesla or
other alkalis for the relief of "indl-
gestion," dyspepsia "acidity,'
heartburn" "gas" or waterbrash,'
have gastric or duodenal ulcer.
There is no harm in the occasional
use of such alkalis for the relief OF
acidity, but the constant or habltual
use OF them is Objectionable for sew
eral reasons.
Sodium bcarbOnate particularly
produces an after-cffect that stlmu-
lateS greater secretion of the hydro
chloric acid. When the sodium BIZ
carbonate reacts with the hydro
chlCric acid sodium Chord common
salt and carbon dioxid (carbonic
acid gas are formed: these irritate.

Alkalis destroy vitamins in food.
Too much alkali tends to upset the
normal acid-baSe balance of the

Prepared chalk is less likely to dis

Prepared chalk is officially called

purified for medicinal use. Its chem

An Abrupt Beginning

The doors of the suite were
thrown open so that we could see
the layout of the rooms at once.

closed door which, as we learned

room at the back, with a window
looking upon the rear yard OF the

So much has been said recently
about settlement of the war debt
question that the American people
are apt to forget the term is a mis-
homer.
The obligations which America
seeks to collect and which European
nations are trying to have cancelled
or reduced are not war debts at all,
with the exception of those owed by
Great Britain.
To be sure, America loaned huge
sums abroad during the war France,
Italy, Great Britain, Belgium and a
host of lesser nations were the recipi-
entS of bountiful interest on the
part Of America II was their war
but after April of 1917 it was our war
too, and we helped finance their part
in it,
Those debts, again excepting Eng
land were not collected and we are
not trying to collect them now. They
already have been cancelled by the
negotiations and debt pacts enacted
in the past.
But after the war had ended
America continued to send billions of
her money abroad to aid in rehabil-
itating the stricken nations. This
money went TO constructive, not de-
structive uses. 1t built factories, re-
established roads and gave Europe
the sinews for its commerce for
considerable period after the end of
hostilities.
1t was the money which We gave
Europe to help put her on her feet
which We now are trying to collect
and which she is trying to shirk pay
ing.
Those who use the term war debts
are ignoring the real facts. We have
as much right TO collect the money
now owing 10 us as any other credi-
tor.
England is an exception because, in
the scale down in previous debt con-
ferences, her war obligations were
reduced but not entirely written off
This was true because she had re-
lent most of the money We gave her
and was receiving interest on it. Her
payments TO the United States were
largely balanced by payments which
other nations were making to her.

The Garner resolution to submit

in congress by six votes and new fuel

adoption Of the Norris resolution.
