ONE FIGHT IS 'ENDED Williams' and White's Selections for Plums Quiet Factions and Jacoby's Decapitation Is. Welcomed. OLYMPIA, Wash., Nov. . (Special.) Three announcements from Wash ington, D. c, this week have done wonders in helping: to knit together (actions of Western Washington De mocracy, but have left a decided sore feeling in Eastern Washington. , The announcement of greatest Im portance was the forthcoming appoint ment of David J. Williams, of TaComa. u collector of internal revenue. Wil liams was the candidate of Hugh Wal lace for Democratlo state chairman, and as such was indorsed by the 1912 Walla Walla convention, controlled by Wallace and Ueorge Turner. For this precise reason, however, he was re fused the position when the state com mittee organized, and Pierce County Democrats went so far as to threaten to bolt the ticket, until It became ap parent that Ernest Lister would get the nomination for Governor. The sore reeling- persisted, however, and was in tensified when National Committeeman Pattlson refused to give Williams his Indorsement, either as first or second choice. The appointment of Williams will not only help to settle factional dlf ferences In Pierce County, but will give the west side an office always consld- ered as belonging to Eastern Wash ington. Also, since the passage of the Income tax law and the removal of civil service guards will mean inci dental patronage In greatly increased auantlty, the office takes rank as one of the most Important in the state. White Gets Important Place. Another announcement of Interest to the Democrats -was the confirma tion of Henry M. White, of Bellingham, as immigration commissioner. This is the one position of real Importance wnlcn trie state organisation has abso lutely dictated. White was an original Wilson man, but the confirmation of his appointment had been held up so long that his friends had begun to worry. The third announcement was the of ficial decapitation of United States Marshal Jacoby. of Seattle, whose term was not due .to expire until 1916, to make another plum available. In spite of the springing up of several recent cndldates for this position, George E. Ryan, of Seattle, ex-secretary of the state committee, seems to have the ad vantage,' with indorsement of nearly all branches of the party organization. Hyan, evidently possessing inside in formation as to when this place would be open, got the lead, while others re garded this plaoe as too far in the future to be worth consideration. Eastern Washington la Loser. Williams' victory for collector of revenue will take from Eastern Wash ington, however, the only state position which the Democrats there had counted as their own, it being re garded as a foregone conclusion that a Western Washington man will be named collector of customs. Eastern Washington organization Democrats, as a matter of fact, have seen their hopes recede steadily since appointments began to be announced. When they had obtained the election of John Pattlson as National commit teeman, and saw no Democratlo Con gressmen elected from this state, they .inmped to the conclusion that Pattl son would be the absolute dispenser of Federal patronage. A review of appointments shows how far this guess has been from the mark Appointments of Ethan Allen as Na tional Park superintendent and Rich ard Roedlger as surveyor-general were the first reversals Buffered by Patttson. Jeremiah Neterer was appointed Fed eral Judge, when Pattlson had Indorsed S. J. Chadwlck. Clay Allen was ap pointed District Attorney on the in dorsement of Senator Polndexter Al fred Battle was appointed postmaster at Seattle, with Paulson's indorsement, but only after he ad been asked to make this Indorsement by the Post-master-GeneraL W. H. Cochran. Pat tlson s candidate tor postmaster at fcpokane, has been refused the place and neither of the National committee man s two, lndrosements for cellector of Internal revenue has received rec ognition.

A a result of the recent meeting held at Glenoma, which was attended by representatives of the commercial bodies of Handle, Morton and Kosmos, to consider working jointly for East ern Lewis County in road and other matters, the sentiment vas expressed that only by such a course could re sults be obtained for this section in the future.

As a apeclalUt who has spent many ears In the study and treatment of stomach troubles, -I have been forced to the con clusion that most people who complain of ctomach trouble possess stomachs that are absolutely healthy and normal. The real trouble, that which causes all the pain and difficulty, Is acid in the stomach, usually due to, or aggravated by, food fermenta tion. Acid irritates the delicate lining of the stomach and food fermentation causes wind which distends the stomach abnor mally, causing that full bloated feeling. Thus both acid and fermentation Interfere with and retard the process of digestion. The stomach is usually healthy and nor mal, but Irritated almost past endurance by thise foreign elements acid and wind In all such cases and they comprise over 90 per cent of all stomach difficulties the first and -only step, necessary is to neu tralize th& acid and step the fermentation by taking In a little warm or cold water Immediately after eating, a teaspoonful of binurated magnesia, which is doubtless the best and only really effective antacid and food corrective known.
