Better Than Soda
for Stomach Agony

Certainly repeated trials have
shown you that soda can not be
counted on to end your stomach
agony. And magnesia is no better.
If you really want to get rid of
stomach distress, forget these So
called alkaline digestants and just
take a tablespoonful of artificial
stomach juice, or Mentha Pepsin,
with your meals. The difference is
magical. No gas. No pain. No
bloating. No unpleasant symptoms
Of any kind.

house and found he couldn't, any
more than he could push down the
walls to get out. Its sour pickle,
I'm afraid" Whenever Uncle Wig
gily was in any trouble, he always
used to say he was in a pickle, so
now you know what he meant.
How am 1 to get out in time to
go home to my warm, cozy hollow
stump bungalow to supper?"
thought Mr.. Longears. "The sun is
fast going down. 1t will soon be
dark. Here am shut up in my ice
house and 1 can't get out. I wish
1 hadn't heard Jackie, Peetie and
Sammie talking about making a
play ice house. Then I wouldn't
have made this one. 1t was a great
mistake for me to go to sleep, l
guess. If I hadn't I would have
seen the icicles freezing together to
keep me in here and would have
gone out in time. Oh, mel"
1t was because he heard the ami
nal boys telling how they were go
ing to make an ice house that Mr.
Longears got the idea for doing the
same himself.
Maybe I can gnaw a hole in one
of the icicle walls with my teeth,
thought the rabbit gentleman after
he had tried, without any luck
to push his way out. II can gnaw
wood, so perhaps can gnaw ice.
He tried this but could not dc
1t. The ice was too cold and when
he tried to bite it his teeth be-
gan to ache, so he had to stop. His
teeth grew so cold from trying to
gnaw the icicles that he had te
stop and twinkle his pink nose
very, very fast to warm himself.
Dear mel What am I ever 60

could look through the walls anc

that it was getting darker ano

HOW UNCLE WIGGILY FOOLED
THE BEAR

Dear mel' said Uncle Wiggily
to himself as he stopped pushing
with his paws. This is quite a
pickle I'm in! Dear mel"
The rabbit gentleman did not
mean that he was really inside a
dill pickle or a mustard pickle or
even a sweet pickle. AS a matter OF
fact, Uncle Wiggily was inside a
house he had made of cicles, as l
told you in the story last night.
But as he had forgotten to make
a door or window and as the icicle
logs of which the house was made
had first melted in the sun and
then frozen solidly together when
the sun went down Uncle Wiggily
was as tightly shut up as if he had
been inside a cake of ice. Only, OF
course, he could move about a bit.

BEGINNING AND THE END

GROUND breaking today for the new
u FL Centre post office, marks the start
of an event of considerable Importance
to this community, and at the same time
ends long fight waged to obtain for Ell
Centre mail facilities commensurate
with its present needs and with the de-
mands which its steady growth indicates
the future will present.
1t is far cry from the dinky post
office accommodations provided for the
citizens of newly formed town, %
years ago, to the handsome $4,000
building which will soon adorn the cor
ner of Fifth and Olive streets. In way
1t is a monument, signifying the steady
growth and increasing Importance of
this community.
Many citizens still residing here, can
easily recall the early facilities for col
lecting and distributing the mail - al
ways an event of Importance in new and
remote communities, and yet no less in
teresting in larger centers.
The mail is the means by which per-
sons and places far apart are brought
closer together. The mail is like life it
self, bringing happiness and woe and
happy indeed are they whose proportion
of the former exceeds the latter.
Whatever our grumbling may be at
times with respect to the mail, our lives
would not be half so interesting if it
were not for the things which the post
man brings to US. "The mail must go
through is slogan we'll known to all,
and the heroic devotion of the men and
women in the postal service is cause
for national pride.
The happy conclusion Of the long fight
to bring adequate postal service to this
city is gratifying indeed to the public
at large and especially to the small
group of individuals and organizations
who started agitation several years ago
and prosecuted the battle through the
lengthy course of governmental proceed
ure.
An expenditure of the amount requir-
ed for the new post office is never OBJ
tanned without battle, and the stead
fastness of the new post office adher-
ents in carrying on, cannot be laid to
any streak of selfishness, unless pride
in ones city and efforts spent in obtain
ing its just Dues can be considered self
ishness.
The ground breaking is but prelim-
mary. Within a comparatively short
time the completed edifice will be ready
for dedication and for service to the
people of Ell Centro for a period of time
that we'll may go beyond the amount al
lotted even to the city's present young
sters.
One cannot contemplate the post Of
flee serving this community 100 years
from now, without hoping that the men
and women of that day will be as loyal
to and as proud of their community as
are those whose work made today's cere-
mony possible.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10. W.P)-
The w. c. T. U. is perhaps the

it is effective in impressing its views

Whenever the prohibition issue

any other organization.
The w. C. T. U. has a more

What May It Bring?

Probably the greatest mistake anyone
could make these days would be to under,
estimate the extent and force of the new
spirit that has swept the country since last
spring. This spirit finds expression in vari-
Gus ways = in the poisoning out of Blue
Eagles in shop windows, in parades and
mass meetings in the new air of optimism
which appears in the conversation of ordin-
airy citizens.
These are surface indications only. But
they are like the little rpples and the thin
ble-sized whirlpools that form on the sur
face of deep. swift river. A tremendous
tide is in motion underneath; and the man
who forgets that fact is very likely to get
swept away, head over heels. Now this
means more than mere revival of hope. 1t
sgnalzes determination to reform great
many things which need reforming; and
the one thing that appears certain is that
this new force cannot be contained in the
old channels, but will if necessary find
totally new way of expressing itself
A Communist writer in radical maya
zine remarked the other day that laissez
faire capitalism - the rugged individualism
of sainted memory - is dead as a door nail.
As result he asserted America could do
one of just two things it could turn to
Faseism, or it could go Communist. These.
he said. are the only alternatives. The writer
found Fascism far more likely.
Taking what has happened in Europe as
a guide, it must be admitted that this radical
viewpoint has much to sustain it. In Rus
STA. in Italy and in Germany the old type of
undestrieted capitalism collapsed. and each
country in turn had to choose between
Lenin's kind of society and Mussolni's. But
why take it for granted that the same thing
must happen over here'
1t hasn't yet been proved that there is no
other alternative 1t certainly has not been
proved that finding such an alternative is
too big a task for American intelligence. 1t
is certain. that not one American in hun
dred really wants to see either Communism
or Fascism adopted here. Isn't it more
likely that the new spirit in this land is too
big and too strong to be contained by the
old formulas - that our great contribution
to modern life may we'll be to find solu-
ton for industrialism's problems without
despotism, without oppression and with
out a revolution?

A strong prohibition organization to wage
war against alcoholic beverages is proposed
by Deets Pickett. secretary of the board OF
temperance, prohibition. and public morals
of the Methodist Episcopal church. After
watching what a strong prohibition force
did to the nation in the last ten or twelve
years we should think that Mr. Pickett would
fight shy of another one. 1t certainly did
not aid the cause of temperance. What the
nation needs is not SO much legislation to
regulate social and racial customs as edu-
cation. We don't agree with Mr. Pickett that
constitutional authority is needed to regulate
the problem of liquor. 1t is peculiarly state
right in government like ours. And fur
thermore. it is right that does not bear
such trampling upon as we have witnessed
of recent years. 1t is perfectly correct to
deplore the effects of alcohol upon man.
but there are nations far Older than ours
which have included drinking customs for
centuries. Today they are no worse off
than we are with all our advanced ideas.
While people are thinking about combating
liquor manufacture and sales in this nation
they are overlooking other problems which
are far more important. If all the energy
that was expended in enforcing noble
experiment" was turned in other directions
we might be able to say today that pro-
gress had actually been made.

and claim for the United States any areas Of
ice recession about the South Pole; second,
to determine the extent of deposits of oil.
coal and other natural resources. The area
still UNEMPLOYED, he says, is equal to that of
the whole of the United States including
Alaska. He believes the recession of ice
must have left some half-million square
miles of land between the South Pole and
South America. This expedition will be
more fully equipped than the first. 1t
hopes. also, to find some Of the equipment
left at Little America, but as that was stu
ated on an ice floe, it may have vanished
in the interim. There will be 2,500-ton
steam vessel, the Pacific Fir, and an old
time coast guard cutter, the Bear. They
hope to reach Little America by New Years
Day. and get much exploring done before
the winter darkness sets in which will be
just as April brings our spring. Byrd is
taking large two-motored biplane and an
autogyro. He has also new motors for use
on the tri-motored ship they left behind. in
case they find it.
Thirty-seven of the 20 adventures and
scientists will remain on the ice through the
antarctic winter and the following period Of
light. The rest will go back to New Zea-
land. there to remain until the work planned
is completed, probably by January 1875.
1t is all pretty interesting and gives flip

that John H. Goss commented upon the
same thing. He pointed out the fact that
in . good many ways we can blame the
depression from which we are striving to
emerge by herculean and emergency efforts
as due to credit in large parts. We quite
agree that this is probably true. We think
that in the years to come we must begin to
shade off this habit of ours by an appliea-
ton of other good business principles
But to return to the democratic and re-
publican parties treasures. Both are de-
pleted. In fact. the democrats owe over
100000. while the republicans debt is
close to 100000. In what some of US
care to regard still as normal times (they
were actually abnormal) such sums as these
would not be considered excessive. And It
would not take long for either party to find
q man or men to underwrte these. debts. But
things are different now. The dollar has
different valuation. And rose -colored
speetaeles have been replaced with colorless
ones. If political party goes into debt
today it will have to struggle along as best
it can. We are afraid angels will be few and
