STOMACH ON
A STRIKE
V
"Pape's Diapepsin" puts
Sour, Gassy, Acid Stomachs
in order at once I
Wonder what upset your stomach
which portion of the food did the
damage do you? Well, don't
bother. If your stomach is in a re
volt; if sick, gassy and upset, and
what you just ate has fermented and
turned sour; head dizzy and aches;
belch gases and acids and erutfate
undigested food just eat a tablet
or two of Pape's Diapepsin to help
neutralize acidity and in five min
utes you wonder what became of
the indigestion and distress.
, If your stomach doesn't take care
of your liberal limit without rebel
lion; if your food is a damage-instead
of a help, remember the quick
est, surest, most harmless antacid
is Pape's Diapepsin, which costs so
little at drug stores.
i-ed that the meeting be held in Lin-
coin JNovernoer and it the date
is agreeable to the attorney general
a call will be issued soon. A simi
lar request has been made of all
governors. The plan was requested
at a meeting of attorneys general
recently held. New York state has
already held a conference, which
was declared very successful.
Holds Time Passed for
Filing Referendum Appeals
Lincoln, Oct. 20. (Special.) Did
those charged with authority to file
papers in the supreme court appeal
ing from tfre opinion of the Lancas
ter county district court in the suit
brought by John Hopkins and oth
ers of Omaha covering the validity
of the referendum petitions on the
act of tie legislature ratifying the
national prohibition amendment,
fail to do their duty and get the
appeal in on time?
Such was the contention of Mr.
Hopkins, an attorney from Omaha,'
who appeared before the supreme
court this morning and told the
court that the referendum law spe
cifically provides that an appeal in
referendum cases must be made
within I j days, and quoted from
section 2.539 of the statutes which
reads: "Either party may appeal to
the supreme court within 10 days
after a decision is rendered."
The' time under this statute for
firing the appeal expired on August
28, and the appeal was not filed until
Septembei 10. The other side of the
controversy holds that the general
law applies, which gives 90 days.
But Part of Fund Used
on Returned Soldiers
Lincoln, Oct. 20. (Special).
Governor McKelvie received this
morning the report of the committee
having in charge the cai e of return
ing soldiers of Nebraska landing
in New "York City. The report is
a lengthy one and the executive has
not had time to go through it com
pletely. With the report is shown that of
the $25,000 voted by the legislature
to look after the work, but $6,447.98
was expended. When the appropria
tion was made it was intended to
expend the money at all places
where the soldiers might land in
this country, but it seemed that the
best results could be secured by
using it where most of the boys
struck the soil of Uncle Sam.
One new bed intended for apart
ment dwellers can be folded com
pactly enough to be hidden behind
a door while another can be raised
on one end annd wheeled into a

ANDREWS FINDS
FLAWS IN BUDGET
SYSTEMPLANNED
Nebraska Takes Exception to
Appointment of Men to
Office for Life, at
i $10,000 a Year.
Washbgton, Oct. 20. (Special
Telegram.) Agreeing with the
general provisions of the so-called
"budge; bill," now before the house,
but tak'ng exception to certain fea
tures of the measure as to the ten
ure of office of appointees, Con
gressman W. E. Andrews of the
Hastings district Mnndav held the
close attention of the members as!
he discussed the budget system out
of an experience of nearly 20 years
as auditor of the treasury depart
ment. Mr. Andrews said he was not par
ticular y impressed with the advis
ability of appointing men at $10,000
a year for life, as provided in the
bill, when these same men are now
serving for $6,500 and less. He said
they were not likely to resign if the
salary was not increased. He paid
particular attention to the account
ing department, in the course of his
speech, in view of his long service
in the treasury department, calling
the attention of the committee of
the whole' to one of the sections of
the bill which provides that the six
auditors now serving under the ex
isting law are to be transferred to
the new department at their present
salaries and thereby legislated into
permansnt office.
Mr. Andrews wanted to know
who could ,vouch for the efficiency
of the men who are thus to be
placed permanently on the roll of
the government "with salaries ag
gregating $43,500 annually.
, He rommended the bill in provid
ing that the comptroller general
should appoint, remove and fix the
compensation of such officers and
employes in the department as may
be provided by congress, and said
that under such a statute the ac
counting system of the national
government would begin a new ca
reer a'd government accounting
lifted from the plans of routine
clerical duties to the professional
standard that would challenge the
commendation of all for efficiency
and practical economy.
The Bolivian congress has passed
a bill, which the president has
approved providing for the conver
sation of that county's resources of
coal, petroleum and sulphur.
Robert S. Lovett, President
of Union Pacific and Other
Lines, Here on Inspection Trip
, .
Railroad Chief Denies Rumors That Headquarters
of Entire Harriman Holdings Will Be Cen
tralized in Omaha and That Extensive Improve
ments Will be Made Here Declares Union Paci
fic Spending Only What Is Absolutely Necessary.
The Chamber of Commerce will
entertain Robert S. Lovett, presi
dent of the Union Pacific, Oregon
Short Line and other Herriraan
holdings, and other officials of the
Union Pacific company at a lunch
eon at noon today.
Mr. Lovett will leave tonight on an
inspection trip in the west. He is
accompanied by Mrs. Lovett, Miss
M. c bean ot Baltimore, Md.;
E. Adams, consulting engineer of
the Union Pacific of New York, and
his private secretary, C. T. Bower.
His visit in Omaha has no spe
cial significance, he declared yester
day. "I am merely looking over the
system," he said. "It has been two
years since I have made a trip west.
Before the railroads were under
federal control I made inspection
trips at least once a year."
Will Not Be Moved.
Mr. Lovett denied a rumor that
the headquarters of the entire
Harriman holdings would be cen
tralized in Omaha. The headquar
ters of the Oregon-Washington and
Navigation lines will remain . in
Portland, Ore., andNthe headquar
ters of the Oregon bhort Line in
Salt Lake City, he said.
He also denied rumors that ex
tensivs improvements in Omaha
would be made.
"At the present time the Union
Pacific will not spend a cent of
money except what is absolutely
necessary," said Mr. Lovett. "It
would be premature to make any
plans for the time when railroads
are returned to private ownership.
"When private ownership Is
again established the Union Pa
cific system will be kept in its
usual tfood condition, however."
' Admires Omaha's Growth.
Mr. Lovett expressed great ad
miration" for the growth and pros
perity of Omaha. "I am going to
take a good look at the city before
1 leave for Salt Lake City," he
said.

The fact that he arrived on the
same day as President Lovett was
entirely a coincidence, Mr. Fort
said.
"I consider Omaha my home and
I haven't had a chance to visit here
until now," said Mr. Fort. "Any
thing I would say concerning my
personal plans would be premature
at the present time. " At present I
am in government service. When
I am released, and I don't know
when that will be, I only hope the
Union Pacific will take me back in
my former position."
No Official Conference.
Mr. Fort held a short conversa
tion with H. A. Adams, new vice
president in charge of Union Pa
cific traffic, yesterday morning. Both
Mr. oFrt and Mr. Adams denied
that it was of an official nature.
Mr. Fort also expressed great ad
miration for the growth of Omaha.
"I hardly knew it when I arrived
here," he said. "I certainly hope to
make my home here in the future.
I will have to leave Wednesday,
however. I ijTSy make a short trip
west, and thdn return to Washing
ton." A report that heads of the Union
Pacific system would hold a two
day conference of great importance,
beginning yesterday, was emphatic
ally denied by Mr. Lovett, Mr. Fort
and every official of the company.

Nebraska Congressman Talks
at Aurora on Peace Treaty
and U. S. Waste
i During War. .
Aurora, Neb., Oct. 20. (Special.)
Congressman M. O. McLaughlin
of the Fourth Nebraska district ad
dressed a large audiencd here on the
proposed peace treaty, and declared
his belief that, while fully two-thirds
of the American people favored the
league of nations idea 10 months
ago, there has been a complete re
vulsion of sentiment. He attributed
ihis change to the secretive manner
in which the peace conference was
conducted and the arbitrary action
of the president in attempting to
force his ideas upon congress.
While admitting that the ratifica
tion of the treaty without amend
ments is likely, he insisted that the
three principal reserevations should
be made. , . . ( . .
He declared that in his judgment
one of the principal purposes of the
proposed league is to strengthen
the control of certain European
powers over their colonies.
All of these propositions were
heartily applauded.
He called attention to the incon
sistency of the administration in
sisting upon an army of 512,000 men
if the league is to avert future war,
the sending of American troops to
Silesia and Siberia, and the recent
landing of United States marines in
Italy without authority of con
gress. Answering a question in regard
to what he knew personally con
cerning charges or waste of war
materials, he told of having seen
13,000 Dodge cars exposed to the
weather and practically ruined at
Baltimore, and had been informed
