Entered at the postoffice in Decatur, Indiana, as second-class matter. Just to make the 1919 session a complete failure the legislature yesterday struck out of the appropriation bills all the amounts to cover judgments made by the court for the State university and Purdue. The final mix up of the law makers is unequalled in the history of the state. Lieutenant Governor Bush and Speaker Eschbach each took the floor yesterday and openly opposed the measures being urged by the governor. While these factions are playing politics the state suffers and it now looks as though about the only bills of the administration to be passed will be the highway and tax laws and the next election will probably make them wish they had forgotten those. President Wilson is on his way to France again to complete his work at the peace table. He will not come back “until it’s over over there” he promises. In other words he is going to fight for vou and your posterity. He will give of his great talent to effect a treaty and a league of nations that will provide security for all time. It is by tar too serious a question to be made the football for politicians and the American people should not permit it. The meeting in New York rqjj night addressed by President Wilson and Mr. Taft was the most remarkable in the annals of that city, used to great events. Two great men, one the president and one the former president, one a republican and the other a democrat, both 100 per cent American and for the people, appeared upon the same platform and urged the support of this nation in the great peace treaty now being prepared. The theater was packed with people while hundreds of thousands begged admission. We do not fear the ultimate result of the campaign now in progress. The people rule this country and eventually w ill see the right thing and do it. Politicians may delay but they cannot prevent the endorsement of the league of nations constitution. It may be there should be some changes and they will be 1 made but the great underlying principle will stand. Congress has adjourned and within a day or two we will know just how badly we have fared from the state legislature. •,

NINE PEOPLE OUT OF TEN HAVE ACID STOMACH ANO INDIGESTION Acid in Stomach—That Sour and Ferment—Your l ood Should be Neutralized With Laxcarin to End Indigestion. “While there are many forms of stomach trouble,” says a physician who has made a special study of stomach disorders, “I believe that fully ninety per cent of these cases are traceable to the excessive secretion of hydrochloric acid in the stomach with consequent food fermentation, gas and delayed digestion. , $ The stomach needs a certain amount of acid for proper digestion, but many people have an unnatural tendency to secrete more acid than their stomach requires. This excess acid makes all the trouble. Their stomachs are almost constantly in a state of sourness and ferment, extremely irritating and inflaming to the stomach lining and most everything they eat disagreed and turns to gas. No wonder we have so much so-called indigestion and dyspepsia. An “Acid-stomach" should be neutralized or sweetened daily with some simple, harmless anti-acid like laxcarin tablets, which instead of merely artificially digesting the acid food, as do so many pepsin and digestive acids. i counteracts or changes the acid, soothes and heals the sore, inflamed stomach and permits normal, healthy digestion without pain or trouble of any kind. Laxcarin is no cure-all and it will not cure cancer, or any organic trouble. but for Nervousness, Indigestion. Sour Acid Stomach. Flatulance. Heart Palpitation caused by the stomach being filled with gas, there is nothing that will reach these troubles like laxcarin. Laxcarin relieves quickly and harmlessly all stomach disorders. Laxcarin is sold solely by the LAXCARIN PRODUCTS CO.. PRICE—SI.OO per Box; 6 Boxes, $5.00 Money Orders, Cash or Registered Letters Will send C. 0. D. anywhere. Department E-147 Pittsburgh, Pa.
