It means that the stomach nerves have been over-stimulated. There is 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, efficient and harmless. Results come almost in stantly. It is the approved method. You will never use another when you know. Be sure to get the genuine Phillips" Milk of Magnesia prescribed by physicians for correcting excess acids. 25c and 50c a bottle any drug store. The ideal dentifrice for clean teeth and healthy gums is Phillips Dental Magnesia, a superior tooth paste that safeguards against acid- 77 W 7 I MM I I II r .J m LJ In a special election up in Wiscon sin the other day.

The men have been ordered by their superiors not to wear loud neckties. A Detroit preacher says hell is full of peek-a-boo waists. That preacher is twenty years behind the times. Girls no longer wear that sort of waists. They ride in bare backed. The Battle of'Yorktown has been fought and won again, by the Amer icans. That's two legs on the prize, and we understand that if we win the next time we get to keep the country. ; c INFLATION WOULDN'T ALTER FARM PROBLEM Farmers have been brought to their present condition by exploita tion. They have been exchanging their products for farm and house hold supplies at unfair ratios. They have been receiving a diminishing proportion of the national income. These facts have been so generally recognized that they have formed the basis of all the "farm relief" agitation of the last half dozen years. Through exploitation, enormous profits have been piled up in the hands of a comparatively few. This profit-piling has robbed both farm ers and urban workers of buying power. As a result, factories have closed and men have been thrown out of work more than six million of them. Thus the market for farm products has been greatly curtailed. Since profit piling is the trouble, the remedy is to check profit pil ing. The remedy should be fitted to the disease. To apply some remedy that does not touch the cause is like putting a mustard plaster on the big tee to cure a. pain in the neck. Just now the money question is ccming to the fore, as it has in every depression this country has exper ienced. Expansion of the currency .is being advocated vigorously. If this could be brought about, if the interests in control at Washington could be induced to "juice up" the currency, if more money cculd be gotten into circulation, it vould cause an increase in prices. But it is erroneous to think that this would be a clear gain to farm ers. Everything would go up togeth er what farmers buy as well as what they sell. Farm operating costs would rise in proportion to prices of farm products. Farmers would gain, therefore, only on that part of tneir income devoted to paying old debts and interest thereon and possibly also in paying taxes, providing taxes did not rise with the inflation. If sane inflation can be brought about, we say go to it. Let the farm ers' debts be paid with dollars more nearly of the value of those in which the debts were contracted. But let us remember that inflation would not cure the disparity between prices of farm products and prices of things farmers buy; that it would not affect monopoly; that It would not stop exploitation. Above all, let us not become so excited about the money question as to forget that the real trouble is ex poitatlcn and the real remedy is co operation. Nebraska Union Farmer. TREATIES BLAMED FOR DEPRESSION That the peace treaties now stand as a barrier against the economic recovery of Europe is not alone the view of those who are directly af fected, but the judgment also of those who view the problem not as partisans, but as neutrals and with deep sympathy. William Martin, the distinguished editor of the Journal de Geneva, writing under the title "Europe as I See It Today," says: "The misfor tune of the treaties of peace per haps it was inevitable was to try to conciliate things That were irre concilable and to obiain as results of the peace things incompatible with each other. "The moral instability which now reigns in Europe is the result of this fact. Badly drawn frontiers quite naturally provoke the complaints of certain nations and the disquietude of others. On the one hand, and im mediately after the war, the victors, instead of being able to rest, were, or believed they were, obliged to arm themselves to defend their ter ritorial integrity which had been newly acquired. . . . "Europe is enclosed in a vicious circle. The internal political crisis of the nations is the consequence of the social situation: the social situa tion is bad because the economic situation is not good. ... "The war, which directly created the difficulties with which we are struggling, indirectly prevents their solution because of its psychological results. The nations are divided by political questions; these differences of opinion make them fear the re turn of war and consequently turn hem away from military disarma ment, without which tliere can be no pacification of public opinion and no tariff " disarmament, without which we cannot hope for prosperit ynor. consequently, for social, political and moral calm. All these things hold together," Whatever may have been the nec essity and the justification for the terms of these treaties at the time. nevertheless they were dictated treaties, they dealt with war and were written in the spirit of war, they were not written with a view to the workings of peace nor writ ten in the interest of the economic recovery of Europe. New conditions have arisen and new treaty terms are regarded as essential to the restoration of eco nomic heaiLu. Economic health is es sential to disarmament and peace. There can be no permanent or dur able peace that does not have its foundation in economic Justice. William E. Borah in Collier's. :o: WHAT PORTENDS IN MEXICO? Gen. Joaquin Amaro has resigned as Mexican War Minister, and three other military men have also been dropped from the Cabinet. Is there more than the mere news behind the announcement? General Amaro has been one of the "strong men" of Mexico for years, and his building of the army to its present efficiency is one of the major accomplishments of his career. Of Yaqui Indian an cestry, stolid, and withbut one pur pose to develop an efficient army he cared nothing for popular admir ation. Politics he regarded with scorn. For the office of President he was said to have no desire. In view of this .the action of for mer President Plutarco Elias Calles in taking over the war portfolio oc casioned more than a shrug of the shoulder and the customary uplift ing of the eyebrow. General Calles's political position during the admin istration of Obregon and with the present executive head, Ortiz Hubio, has not gone unrecognized. He has been known as the power behind the "throne." Can it be that General Amaro's resignation carries a pecul iar "something" more than mere news? Rumors have traveled across Mexico for months that General Calles had withdrawn his support from the Administration because of Amaro's influence with President Ortiz Rubio. Whether this be so or whether it be empty, mischief-making rumor, Mexico cannot afford a falling out of two such strong men. Presumably both General Calles and General Amaro have the inter est of the Republic at heart. But have they the Interest jointly or separately? There can be a vast dif ference. Revolutions all too often have sprung from political and per sonal differences. Latin-American uprisings are costly and ordinarily end only in temporary retrogression. Mexico already has enough to do 'in keeping up with the world's stride. The people should see to it that what ever readjustments may be necessary in the official household are made peaceably and with regard only to the nation's welfare. :o: Journal Want Ads set results and the cost is Ttxy casJL I CHEER LEADERS IN BUSINESS Business needs football about as much now as the promoters of foot ball need business. Many an execu tive probably could vary his routine to advantage by visiting a near-by stadium when the autumn chill drives him from his golf course. He would find much more there than a mere athletic event. Consider, for example, the cheer leader. You see him twirling in a series of cartwheels, down in front of the crowded stands. Lithely he flips in a series of well-timed hand-springs. Bright colors flash in the sunlight as he leaps high and, with arms stretched upward, beckons to his sup porters. Although his back is some times toward the team, an occasional glance, onto the field suffices to make him understand what should be done. Alertly he grasps a megaphone, shouts a signal and turns the din of importuning voices into a , syn chronized yell for victory. His team's reverses set him labor ing incessantly on the sideline, but he acknowledges graciously the op ponents' brilliant plays. When vic tory seems near, he leads the ac claim. His job is not merely to lend support to the players, but to match teamwork on the field with sports manship in the stands. Perhaps the business man who takes an afternoon off for the game does not understand the intricacies of football. He may consider the cheer leader's antics mere child's play and hesitate to join in the nine or fifteen "Rahs!" for each retiring player. Nevertheless, he will appreciate the importance of cheering, both for its effect on the team and for its con tribution to an enjoyable day. And, later, if he should reect on the game, probably he will conclude that one of the things business needs is a team of efficient cheer leaders. SHORT SELLING AND BEAR RAIDING The average person will have dif ficulty catching the nice distinction between "bear raiding" and short selling which ismade by the presi dent of the New York Stock Ex change. The president, Richard Whitney, explains that the two prac tices cemmonly are identified in the public mind, but says they are dif ferent. "Every man who has sold short is a potential buyer of secur ities," it is said and the practice thus becomes a "source of great stability to a market," but the per son who sells short in large volume with the hope of depressing the price "is abusing the legitimate practice of short selling," an abu?e which the exchange condemns and seeks to pre vent. But it is difficult to estaabilsh the mauve in such a case. Obviously, the seller is not going to reveal the hepe that is in his mind, a hope for the only possible market movement by which he can profit. He is con cerned, only with a market decline, and, for his purposes, the bigger the better. Naturally, the term "bear raiding" is disliked. But the short seller of securities, whether in large or small volume, sells something he does not possess and does not ex pect at a lower figure. Regardless of his deliberate purpose and whether he is a member of a group, his ac tion, so far as he is concerned, is de signed to have but one effect, to de press the market.

In the lesson-sernu.:i for Sup day, October 25th, subject "Prryu tkm after Death," U is brought out jiainly that the real man made in God's image and likeness never died. It is only a sense of man's mortality that is lost. A passage from the Eible in the lesson-sermon states a method by which man's perfection is realized: "But the God of all grace, who has calied us into His eternal glory, after you have suffered a while make you perfect, establish, strengthen, settle you." (I. Peter 5:10.) This exper ience of probation is declared to be the way by which man's divine son ship is perceived and realized in a passage from the Christian Science text book which reads: "When un derstanding changes the standpoints of life and intelligence from a ma terial to a spiritual basis, we shall gain the reality of Life, the control of Soul over sense, and we shall per ceive Christianity, or Truth, in its divine principle. This must be tlie climax before harmonious and im mortal man is obtained and his ca pabilities revealed." (Science and Health, p. 322.) ROBBERIES IN ELMW00D On Wednesday night some time after twelve o'clock robberies were committed at the Chas. Wood place when the perpetrators entered his garage and took a shot gun, tools and a sweater from his son, Stan ley's car. Also the caps were taken from the gas tanks of Mr. Woods car and a number of gallons of gas taken and possibly some from Stanley's car. Mrs. Wm. Pahl reported also on the same morning that the lock to the cave at their place had been bro ken off and a number cf jars of fruit taken. They also entered the gar age of F. W. Backenieytr and opened the car doors and some other damage done. Wednesday night Emil Holke re ports that someone entered his gar age on the farm southwest of town and took the motor meter from his new Chevrolet coupe, the car clock, also the keys which he left in the car .and a pocket book which contain ed the second key, also he believes that some gas was drained from the tank. His car was covered by insur ance. The caps were also off of the tank3 of his tractor and truck, indi cating that the perpetrators were loking for gas for one thing at least. Authorities are investigating the case in the hopes of apprehending the guilty parties. Elmwood Lead er-Echo. BOY HUNTERS MEET BIO LEAGUE PITCHER Grover Alexander, the National league pitcher, whose home is at St. Paul, Nebraska, furnished a trio of Louisville high school boys with the time of their lives the latter part of last week. He not only instructed them in the art of gunning for pheas ants, but entertained them with nar ratives of his experience while tra veling with the National league champs. Kenneth Ault, of Cedar Creek, Les ter Pankonin and Clemens Sundstrom were the lucky boys who had the pleasure of this experience. Kenneth, whose father's former home was at St. Paul, invited Lester and Clemens to make the trip and spend the week end with relatives in that vicinity. Incidentally he is a distant relative of the noted ball pitcher. They made the trip in the Pankonin car. Alexander took the boys under his wing and when they returned they each proudly displayed their limit of birds and were in possession of suffii cient baseball lore to last' them for years. If was a wonderful trip and if Grover Alexander ever is in need of friends, he has but to come to Louisville and he will find three husky boys who will be ready to defend him to the limit.

The Aweont Camp Fire meeting was called to order by the president, Rachel Robertson. We started the meeting with the Camp Fire law. At our last meeting we voted for Betty Ann McCarty to be song leader, then we sang "Bogy Man." The girls that had to make new slides for our Magic Lantern had them and they showed different symbols such as trees, leaves, body, tent, earth. We had to learn these five, just as we had to learn the other five that the guardian made. The next girls that are to make the next slides are Rachel Robertson and Velma Shra der. We had two visitors, they were Anna Marie Rea and Mary Ann High field. We had to sing "Thats a Camp Fire Girl." Then as we were going home, our guardian had us sing "Taps." JOAN MOORE. Scribe.
