Cocktail Parties Are
New Society Stunt
(Special to The Tlmci.)
ST. LOUIS, April 17.—Positive
ly the newest stunt In society is
the giving of "cocktail parties."
The oocktall party is a Sunday
matinee affair which originated
here.
Mrs. Julius B. Walsh, jr., a lead
er In social activities, is responsi
ble, for the Innovation.
Mrs. Walsh introduced it last
Sunday, with the first cocktail
party In (society's history. Invi
tations wore issued to 50.
The guests were divided into
two classes, those who went to
church In the forenoon and those
who devoted their time to a mo
tor promenade of the boulevards.
Then at high noon they gathered
at the Walsh home on i.imlHl
boulevard.
An liiMtnut Hit.
The party scored an Instant hit.
Mrs. Walsh's home is equipped
with a private bar. Around this
the guests gathered and gave their
orders to a white coated profes
sional drink mixer who presided
behind tho polished mahogany.
If a woman guest who had been
trivial all forenoon In her limou
mii". and was a little chilled in
consequence, felt the need of a
drink with an extia kick in it, she
ordered a Snzarac co'-Utall. Oth
ers, of course, preferred a Bronx
or a Clover Leaf, and a few who
IN FIVE MINUTES
NO SICK STOMACH
INDIGESTION, GAS
"Pape's Diapopsin" is the
(juickest and surest
Stomach relief.
Tow don't know what upset |
your stomach—which portion of I
the food did the damage--do you?!
Well don't bother. If your stora-'
ach is In a revolt; if sick, gassy!
and upset, and what you just ate'
baa fermented and turned sour;
bead dizzy and aches; belch gase?
and acids and eructate undigested
food; breath foul, tongue coated—
Just take a little Pape's Diapepsin
to neutralize acidity and in five
minutes you wonder what becam«
of tin' indigestion mid distress.
Millions of men and woman to
day know that it is neddless to
have dyspepsia. A little Dlapep
■ln occaoionally keeps the stom
ach sweetened, and they eat theli
favorite foods without fear.
If your stomach doesn't take
care of your liberal limit without
rebellion; if your food is a dani
age instead of a help, romembei
the quickest, surest, most harm/
le*s antacid la Pape's Dlapepiio
which costs only fifty cents for I
large cane at drag stores, ft's fmlj

and sets things straight, so gentlj
and easily that it is really aston

HHii'd enouKh to order a Martini
or a Manhattan.
And as long U the professional
ih ink mixer was there to fill all
orders, other beverages than cock
tails were In demand. Highballs,
some with Scotch and some with
rye or Bourbon whisky, gin fizzes
—ordered because the spring
morning hinted of coming sum

for a former gentleman of Vir
ginia, were handed out over the
private bar.
Comes to Stay.
That the cocktail party already
Is a St. Louis Institution, filling a
long felt Sunday want In society
circles, and that the party at
which Mrs. Walsh was hostess was
so merry and so Jolly as to ap
proach in hilarity the famous early
morning eggnogg parties popular
a decade ago, is vouched for by the
newspapers..
In the meantime Mrs. Walsh,
because of her innovation, has be
come more of a social celebrity in
St. Louis than ever.
BERLIN TIED

<l nliril Prena t.ninni Wire.)
AMSTERDAM, April 17. — Ber
lin's general strike is crippling the
output of metal and wood and tie
ing up transportation facilities,
according to dispatches received
here.
The general strike having long

Sunday.
CALL IT A FIZZLE
(United Press Leased Wire.)
BERLIN, via London, April 17.
—A general strike fomented by
extreme socialists as a protest
against the reduction in the bread
latlon, effective Sunday, fizzled
out today.
Only a few factories were forced
to suspend by thn strike. Not a
single munition plant was affected
officials declnre. Business appar
ently was continuing as usual to
day. All of Berlin's subways and
street cars were running with their
usual number of employes.
At no time did the "general

to call out the military forces.

PEACING
(United Vrrmm Leased Win,)
CHRISTIANIA, April 17.—
Germany is shortly to issue to
neutrals a statement of the terms
on which she considers peace ne
gotiable, according to rumors in
diplomatic circles today.
The reports came from sources
known to be closely identified
with the German officials' plane.
Scandinavia Is the center of
Germany's peace efforts, aimed at
Russia. That the Teutonic offi
cials are bending every effort to
realization of their hope of separ
ate peace with the new provisional
government at Petrograd is ap
parent in every quarter here.
American diplomatic officials
have been formally advised that
the German government is behind
the pseudo-socialist movement for
peace. It was the German gov
ernment that apparently started
the socialist propaganda work,
and It was the German govern
ment that pushed it by active sup
port.
Count yon Bernstorff, prime
apostle of peace propaganda work,
has been selected as German Am
bassador to Sweden, purely in
line with this Russian effort.
Meanwhile. German propagan
dists of lesser caliber spread re
ports of Germany's desire for
peace—carefully avoiding, how
ever, any statement of terms.

POET-TRAMP-JOURNALIST A CLOSE
OBSERVER OF BIG SEATTLE TRIAL
By Mabel Abbott
SEATTLE, Wash, April 17.
—A poet, a tramp, a news
paper man and an I. W. W,
"It Mrh day at the press table
in Judge Konnld's courtroom,
where a great < Ims-. vtrugglo
1b helag fought around the
si... i, N figure of Tom Tracy,
I. \v. W.
They arc Charltm Ashleigh.
He is in charge of publicity for
the Everett Prisoners' Defense
league, and he Is a radical of the
radicals; so revolutionary that he
even dares to defy the tradition
that a revolutionist shall be a sin
ister and mysterious-looking per
son.
He is young, small, mild-man
nered, and speakti literary Eng
lish with a fine British accent.
He was born in London. As a
boy lie was for a time an assistant
secretary In the Fabian society of
socialists and free-thinkers, and
saw and heard Bernard Shaw, H.
O. Wells and other famous mem
bers.
A little later, he tramped
through England with the army of
the unemployed, haranguing the
crowds and stirring the miners of
South Wales to organization.
Loves Adventure.
Ordinary life was tame, natural
ly, after that, and Ashleigh, went
to South America.
In Buenos Ayres he was for a
little while in the accounting de
partment of a railway; then he
took a contract to string telegraph
wires along the right of way.
He had never strung a wire In
his life, or seen it done, but he
hired a foreman who did know
how, assembled a gang of Guaran)
Indians, and started out.
It was a colorful experience.
"The Indians aren't really a bad
sort at all, you know," Ashleigh
explains, "but they do drink. One
night the cook shot his brother,
in my tent. They were all riot
ing around so it was hard to tell
anything about it, and the au
thorities got hold of me, as being
the handiest person, I suppose, and
put me in jail, until the British
consul came and cleared tilings
up."
Take- Loins Hike.
After the construction gang epi
sode and an interlude of cow
punching on one of the huge Ar
gentine ranches, Ashleigh returned
to Buenos Ayres and "did society"
and hotel news for a daily paper.
Then, one day being too much like
another in this occupation, he de
cided to walk across South Amer
ica.
With one companion, an artist,
he crossed the continent to Val
paraiso, lecturing wherever there
was a civilized community large
enough to furnish an audience,
stopping at the native houses along
the road to drink "mate," clinib-
Jng the Andes, and chumming with
the much-feared brigands of that
region.
"They never once tried to steal
anything from me," he says. "I
told them I was poor myself, and
believed in the cause of the poor,
and they gave me cigarettes and
Invited me to sit at their fires."
From Valparaiso he tramped
alone through Chile and Peru to
Callao, and shipped hefore the
mast on a sailing vessel for Port
land.

That was in 1912. Since then
he has managed to avoid monotony
If Food Disagrees
Drink Hot Water
"When food lies like lead In your
stomach and you have_that uncom
fortable bloated feeling and your
stomaoh Is sour and burning it Is
usual]? because of excessive secre
tion of acid or food fermentation
from chronic catarrh.
In such a case a good And safe
treatment for catarrh of the stom
ach Is to take before meals a tea
spoonful of pure bisurated mag
nesia in half a glasH of water, as
hot as you can comfortably drink
it. The hot water washes the
mucus from the stomach walls and
draws the blood to the (stomach
while the blsurated magnesia is a
solvent for mucus. Urn- inoreas
lng the efficiency of the hot water
treatment. Moreover the bisurat
ed magnesia, as physicians can
tell you, it a powerful but harm
less antacid which when taken
after meals quickly neutralizes the
acesa acid and sweetens your stom
aoh contents.
This hot water and magnesia
treatment Is a far better plan than
that of rwallowing some pill or
tablet which simply artificially
digests your food and sends It still
a sour, fermenting acid mass Into
the Intestines where it will do al
most as much harm as in the
stomach.
Ai there are various forms of

above directions to ask the drug
