INFORMATION THAT DOES NOT INFORM.
The Germans are not to be outdone in any line by the
English. A few days ago in London the Globe was seized
and the issue going to press destroyed. Germany went
this considerably better Monday, and suppressed the
Voerparts, a socialist paper in Berlin.
Mr. Bryan's split with the president, if It can be called
that, puts him in much the same position as to the demo
cratic party, as Mr. Roosevelt occupies in relation to the
republicans. Is.it possible the great Commoner intends
starting a cow moose party?
Just when the agitation against cigarettes, the initial
move against smoking generally, is getting under way,
those volcanoes up in Alaska resume the habit.
Bryan has at last done something that pleases the
republicans, even the staid and somewhat rabid Oregon
ian giving him an encouraging smile.

Northern Pacific has just filed with the Oregon Public
Utility Commission its report for the year ending June
:;o. 1915.
It states that its gross earnings, or as it states it,
"its operating revenues for the year, totaled $6:5,171,652,
while expenses for railroad operations were $37,108,048.
The net revenue from railroad operations was $26,06:5,60:1.
This sounds all right, and a small sum in subtraction
shows the latter amount barring a one dollar error, is the
sum left after paying operating expenses. Then the re
port goes on to say that the gross income is $:52,027,67:i
and the net income $18,819,040. The difference between
gross revenue (the amount received) and gross income
(also the amount received) and the further difference
between net revenue (the amount over and above ex
penses) and net income (also the amount over the above
expenses; is too nne a uisunciion lor ine average; man iu
understand. As experts in nomenclature the railroads
are certainly in a class by themselves. No doubt it is all
clear to those who made" the report out, and perhaps in
telligible to the Public Utility Commissioners, since they
are experts along those lines, but this report and all other
railroad literature is no more understandable by the gen
eral public than the hieroglyphies or cuneiform tablets
of our remote ancestors.
Their distinction between revenues and income would
please the precise Hudibras. The poet says of him:
"He could distinguish and divide
A hair twixt south and southwest side."
They also bear out the assertion of some wise French
man who said: "Language was made to conceal thought."
How To Prevent
Acid Stomachs And
Food Fermentation
By a New York Physician.
"My experience has forced me to the
conclusion that most people who com
plain of stomach trouble possess stom-
nehs tllfif nm nlwnlntelv lieitllhv nml
normal. The real trouble, that "which! 8
causes ull the pain and difficulty, is
excessive acid in the stomach, aggra
vated by food fermentation. Hyper
acidity irritates the delicate lining of
the stomach abnormally, causing that
full bloated feeling. Thus both acid
iiml fermentation interfere with and
retard the process of digestion. The
stomach wall is usually healthy and
normal, but irritated almost past en
durance by these foreign elements
acid and wind. Jn all cases and they
comprise a great majority of all stom
ach dil't'iculties the first and only step
necessary is to neutralize the acid and
stop the fermentation by taking in a
littlo warm or cold water immediately
! after eating, from one to two teaspoon-
tills of Insulated magnesia, which is the
most effective antacid and food cor
rective I have ever found. The ex
cess acid will be neutralized and the
fermentation stopped almost instantly,
and your stomach will at once proceed
to digest the food in a healthy nonnnl
manner, lie sure to ask your druggist
for bisurated magnesia rather than
magnesia in any other form."
