FOOD SOURS
ABOUT two hours after eating, many
people suffer from sour stomachs.
They call it indigestion. It means that
the stomach nerves have been over
stimulated. There Ls excess acid. The
way to correct it is with an alkali, which
neutralizes many times its volume in
acid.
The right way is Phillips Milk of
Magnesia just a" tasteless dose in water.
It is pleasant, elhcient and harmless.
It is the quick method. Results come
almost instantly. It is the approved
method. You will never use another
when you know.
Be sure to get the genuine Phillips
Milk of Magnesia, the kind physicians
prescribe to correct excess acids. 25c

RATE INCREASE DESIRED
Washington An increase in
freight rates to aid economic reeov
ery is advocated in the current hems
ot Labor, weekly publication of rail
road labor organizations.
"Leaders of railroad labor organ
isations are convinced." the paper
said, "that the carriers are facing
a situation which calls for an Im
mediate increase in freight rates of
from 10 to 15 percent.
"An increase in freight rates
would enable the roads to go into the
market and buy the things they need.
This would stimulate business along
all lines and tens of thousands of
men now unemployed would be put
back on the job.
"In the opinion of railroad em
ployes, the psychological hour is
near, and if the interstate commerce
commission will act without unnec
essary delay, it may assist material
ly In porting the country back on its
economic leg?"

In an address hefore the American

control of the air above the seas as
well.
"The vast majority of transporta

always be done by surface vessels
protected and convoyed by men of

The court interpreted this decision
to mean that congress has no auth
ority to pass upon direct legislation
raearriine nrimarics. but that certain
indirect regulations may be enact
ed by congress in legislation regard
ing the manner of holding general
elections. The judge suggested that
for example congress might require
the filing of a statement of primary
campaign expenditures as a prere
quisite to entry of a candidate into
the final election.
After pointing out that congress
does, therefore, have some measure
of legislative control over primaries,
jhe found that either house may mgal
!ly investigate primaries for the pur
i pese of ascertaining the need of cor
rective legislation.

"acArtr.ur Reveals Plans to Raise
Hi'.e Eoice by Diaft if
Wa: Threatens.
Washington, May 13.- War de
partment plans for rapid mobilization
of an army of 4.000.000 men were
outlined before the war policies com
mission Wednesday by Gen. Douglas
MacArthur almost immediately after
receipt of a pretest from the Federal
Council of Churches that elaborate
war preparations would diminish na
tional security.
MacArthur appeared at the com
mission's resumption of healings to
find a method to take ttie profits out
of war.
Earlier, Assistant Secretary of War
Payne had said the War and Navy
departments, assisted by other agen
cies, were developing plans adequate
for mobilization of the nation's eco
nomic and industrial resources.
MacArthur testified the War de
partment plans called for mobiliza
tion of an army of 4,000,000 under a
selective service draft from a regis
tration roll of 11,000.000.
The chief of staff expressed op
position on behalf of the War de
partment to plans proposed to the
commission by Bernard M. Baiuch,
former chairman of the v.
tr Indus
prices at
tries board, for freest n all
the outbreak of a conflict.
MacArthur said experience had
shown similar attempts "fostered
subterfuge and evasion and dried up
the sources c;f supply."
The chief of staiT proposed regis
tration of all wealth in war time,
similar to registration of manpower,
to facilitate imposition of taxes.
MacArthur testified the War de
partment opposed conscription of la
bor, believing it would not be sup
ported by public opinion and would
be so resented by workers they would
not lend their best efforts.
He took issue with views of the
Federal Council of Churches, con
tending adequate preparation and
plans providing no one could escape a
share of war's economic loss would
exert a tobering and restraining; ef
fect upon any group or class "that
might be tempted otherwise to urge
the adoption cf national policies like
ly to lead to international conflict."
