) Acidity
The common cause of digestive diffi-
eulties is excess acid. Soda cannot
alter this condition, and it burns the
stomach. Something that will neu-
tralize the acidity is the sensible
thing to take. That is why physicians
tell the public to use Phillips Milk of
Magnesia.
One spoonful of this delightful prep-
aration can neutralize many times its
volume in acid. It acts instantly; re-
lief is quick, and very apparent. All
gas is dispelled; all sourness is soon
gone; the whole system is sweetened.
Do try this perfect anti-acid, and re-
member it is just as good for children,
too, and pleasant for them to take.
Any drug store has the genuine, pre-
scriptional product

Doing the Impossible
Viscount Reading's speech in be-
half of the Kellogg anti-war pact,
which electrified the house of lords,
led an editor to say:
“Lord Reading.did the impossible.
He electrified the upper house. I re-
member a remark he once made when
he was over here as ambassador dur-
ing the war.
“ ‘Addressing the house of lords is
the most difficult thing in the world,’
he said. ‘It's like addressing tomb-
stones by winter moonlight.’”
Knowing your friend to be in dis-
tress is what brings your affection for
him to fever heat.

FTO SAIL on one of the cargo
boats from Constantinople that
1 feels its way, according to the
available freight, from port to
port along the shores of the sea of
Marmora, is to obtain a charming
mixture of contrasting ages.
Perhaps you will touch first at the
Princes islands, which can be visit-
ed by motor boat. Of these, Halki
especially breathes of an untouched
simplicity and charm which is the
more appreciated when one’s marine
glasses reveal across the way the
cloudy city where live Constanti-
nople’s teeming thousands.
Instead of the monster summer
hotels which the proximity of an
American metropolis would bring to
such a spot, one finds nothing of Con-
stantinople among these pine-dark-
ened, sea-commanding heights except
hill-tepping monasteries, where me-
dieval emperors, blinded or in chains,
passed their exile. ,
Sheep bells tinkle among the olive
orchards. Down the road, with his
laden donkey, comes the seller of

prating Tonic.

charcoal or drinking water. In the
tinv square sit silent, net-mending
fishermen. And that is all, except the
monastery bell clanging its angelus
under the glow of a sea sunset. Con-
stantinople might be oceans away.
The exile ground of emperors and
dogs—that spells the melancholy his-
tory of these lovely islands. Constan-
tinople’s age-old dog pest developed
under the Koran’s benign injunction
of kindness to dumb creatures—a
stumbling block which the young
Turks of 1908 sought to circumvent
by offering the entire canine popula-
tion to a Christian glove manufactur-
er. Upon his declining this dog conces-
sion they shipped the round-up of
pariahs to barren Oxia, one of the
Princes group, where the outcasts in-
continently devoured one another.
From the islands it is only a step
across the Marmora to its Asiatic
coast, and a forty mile run up the
charming gulf of Ismid. A dirty hill-
side town, passingly enchanting under
the springtide glow of fruit blossoms,
turns out to be all that remains of
Nicomedia, the one proud city of Dio-
cletian (modern Ismid).
But Rome’s bridges have outlasted
her empire, and a few years ago the
inhabitants of Greek villages which
had been burned by Kemalist irregu-
lars came thronging across the stone
archways built of old for the passage
of Roman legions into Asia Minor.
Relics of German Ambition.
Descending the gulf, one passes at
Derindje a relic of the latest bid for
empire in the shape of a vast ware-
house containing a million and a half
square feet of floor space, constructed
by German engineers for the storage
of grain arriving over the Bagdad
railway.
Still farther along, at Hereke, is a
palace which was built almost over-
night by Sultan Abdul Hamid for the
purpose of entertaining his friend
William when, in 1910, the German
emperor passed en route for his tour
in Syria and Palestine. Here, in this
charming, sea-bordered villa, sultan
and emperor dined and chattered for
three hours, while the special train
waited; then they parted, and this
creation for one Arabian night, un-
tenanted before or since, passed into
the realm of yesterdays.
A few hours’ run along the Asiatic
coast brings one’s ship within sight of
the somnolent little port of Mudania.
where the victory-flushed Kemalists
decided not to swoop across the allied-
held straits to Constantinople.
Olives are taken aboard and you
find that you will have time, if you
choose, to visit nearby Brusa.
Snaking upward through the hills
lie narrow-gauge rails, and a wheezy
toot from a toy train warns that it
positively will not delay its departure
beyond half an hour or so on your ac-
count. You catch it in just twenty
minutes, and are politely thanked by
the- engineer for not having kept him
waiting longer.
Gradually widening vistas, where
mnile on mile of olive and mulberry
grows clothe the sea-skirting hills, re-
veal the countryside’s two staples.
The olive, the cocoon, the seaboard—
for centuries the Anatolian Greek
identified himself with this trio. The
trio remains; but the Greek, because
of the post-war shift of populations,
has deported.
Rising ahead the Asian Olympus re
calls by its very name that Greek
colonists were here, christening land-
marks in honor of sacred spots at
home, many centuries before the
Turks began their big westward push
across Asia Minor.
Along the flanks of overshadowing
Olympus, Brusa scatters itself like
some great patch of white wild flow-
ers,almost fairylike in its aerial grace,
with mosque domes resembling rich
blossoms and minarets the slender
stalks, as they rise against the somber
cypress groves. So many mosques
are there that one is tempted to
imagine that, flowerlike, they seated
themselves at random whenever spring
winds blew. “A walk for each day in
the year, a mosque each walk,” runs
the proverb of Brusa.
Silk Industry of Brusa.
Today the sultan and sultana of
Brusa are a pair of white, brown-
spotted worms. Indeed, they produce
a royal fabric, whereby, to Near East-
ern peoples, the name Brusa connotes
silk just as Kimberly connotes dia-
monds. Moreover, a Brusan treats
them as royalty to the extent of turn-
ing his house over to them in the
feeding season; for whenever his at-
tic floor becomes covered with mul-
berry leaves, each with its hungry
worm, he carpets the rooms down-
stairs with more leaves and sleeps out
In the garden.
During the war, when the silk fac-
tories "were destroyed, the workers dis-
persed, and the very mulberry trees
cut down for fuel. Brusa’s ancient in-
dustry was, to all appearances, dead;
but in 1919 returning refugees found,
to their amazement, that its germ had
survived. A mere handful of old wom-
en, who had remained in the town, had
saved a few mulberry trees and had
guarded, season after season, the
cycle of cocoon, moth, hatched-out
eggs, and feeding worm. In time of
war they had prepared for peace.
The silkworm has a voracious appe-
tite for a creature 312 inches long, and
during its brief life of thirty days it
consumes six times its own weight in
'mulberry leaves.
After this sumptuous repast, and
having shed its skin four times, it
spins around itself a cocoon made of
a double fiber of silk, each fiber be-
ing not uncommonly 400 yards long.
A fortnight later it softens the inclos-
ing silk with its saliva, then pushes
forth as a moth.
After pairing, the female moth lays
400 eggs or more; then, her usefulness
over, she dies. The cultivator, having
chosen the best eggs for breeding pur-
poses, incubates them for thirty days,
at a temperature well below blood
heat, when a fresh crop of worms is
hatched.
The cocoons chosen for the silk fac-
tory are steamed, so as to kill the in-
closed life. Then they are steeped in
basins of hot water; the gelatinous
matter is thereby softened, and ma-
chines begin to wind off the silk fila-
ment. This is so fine as to be invisible
to the casual glance, and the attached
cocoon, bobbing about in the hot wa-
ter like an animated peanut, seems, al-
most alive.
Scenes of War for Ages.
Leaving Mudania, your boat is soon
dipping seaward through the Darda-
nelles, where fortress-bearing heights
gradually slope, on the Asiatic side,
into Troy’s plain, and on the Euro-
pean into the sparsely clad spit of
Gallipoli.
Surely, in the New world, magnifi-
cent residences would crown such sea-
commanding heights. Instead, only a
few mean villages dot the shores of
that 43-mile passage, along which two
continents face each other almost
within shouting distance.
Those sixteen hundred yards which
separate Sestos from Abydos have
been dedicated to war for over two
thousand years. There the ancient
Persians crossed by boat bridges to
invade Europe. There the Greeks un-
der Alexander crossed to invade Asia;
and in the middle of the Fifteenth cen-
tury the Orient’s turn came again
when the Ottoman Turks passed over
at the same spot, planting their ban-
ner in Europe for the first time.
It is the ferry to conquest—or dis-
aster. Legends of a seven years’ siege
beckon from the abutting Trojan plain,
while just opposite, off Gallipoli, the
Aegean ran blood-red with the terrible
allied losses of 1915. Today some
acres of wooden crosses alone mark
the desolate scene of that modern
Iliad.

Little Richard Helps
Little Richard’s mother was show-
ing a prospective tenant some rooms
she had for rent. The season being
summer, she emphasized the coolness
of the basement where the kitchen
and dining room were located. Rich-
ard, thinking to' help his mother,
opened a hot-water faucet and said:
“See, even the hot water is cold.”—
Boston Herald.
Modern Marriage
Judge Ben B. Lindsey, who advo-
cates changes, but not freak changes,
in the marriage laws, said in a discus-
sion of modern marriage:
"The latest freak idea is to take the
honeymoon before instead of after the
ceremony. A popular novelist has
done this, and a popular movie star
is now doing it. But, unfortunately,
the basic freak idea of modern mar-
riage—that is, marry often—still pre-
vails.
“A girl said to a young man:
“ ‘No, Clarence, I can’t marry you.’
“ ‘Oh,’ he pleaded, ‘just this once!’”

Of Greater Feminine Interest
The professor was showing a young
woman the heavens through his tele-
scope. He directed her gaze to a
planet which he told her was Venus.
“Oh, isn’t it perfectly lovely!” she
exclaimed—and then, “Now please
show me Adonis.”
Oration
"How long did the audience cheer
you?"
“Almost an hour," answered Senator
Sorghum. “It seemed the folks had
their minds made up in advance, and
would rather listen to their own
voices than hear any remarks from
me.”—Washington Star.
Between Artists
Von Smeer—You actors usually
overestimate your ability.
De Foote Light—Yes! I know of
several who imagine they can play
“Hamlet” as well as I can.
When people lived in log cabins,
they were more romantic. Romance
always goes with discomfort.

“What of that?”
