GAS TON THE STOMACH
OFTEN THE CAUSE OF GREAT
BODILY DISTRESS.
It Indicates "a Feeble Stomach il
Which the Food Lies Undisested
and Shows Need Of Tonic
Treatment.

When the stomach is feeble the food
lies in II undigested decays and throws
off poisonous gases that distend the
walls of the stomach, and cause inter-
ference with other organs. especially
with the action of the heart and lungs.
These gases have other i'll effects. They
are absorbed by the blood and corrupt
it and 50 cause aches i'm remote parts
of the body and the formation of I'M
healthy tissue everywhere. General
bodily weakness and loss of weight re-
suit. The nerves and the brain are
disturbed and discomforts such as
dizziness. hot flashes. seeplessness
irritablcncss and dependency Origi-
nate from this source.
Experience shows that these troubles
vanish just as soon as the stomach is
made strong enough to digest the food.
In other words, it needs tonic that
will rouse ii to do the work of chang
ing the food into n0urishment. The
tonic used ought to be one that will
agree with the most delicate stomach.

- 80 (
100000 Fire
at Lowell, Mass,

Lowell, Mass, March Gothic plant
Of the Fifeld Tool Co., makers OF en-
CINE lathes and other machinery. one
of the largest shops of its kinds In the
country was burned early Friday. The
loss is estimated at $4OO, 900 and is only
partly covered by insurance. The fire
communicated to nearby residential
section known as the Highlands and
one house was burned and two others
badly damaged.
The fire started at II o'clock last
night i'm the paint shop which occupied
one end of the main building. 1t spread
quickly through the structure and the
walls and roof were soon ablaZe along
their whole extent, about 300 feet. The
building was of one story. of wood con-
struction sheathed with tin. The
sparks from the burning walls were
carried by the high wind in a sOutherly
direction and large number Of dwell
ing houses many of them costly con-
structions were threatened.
As soon as the police and firemen ar
rived the people in these residences
were awakened and warned out Of
doors Many of them ran into the
streets in their night clothes and re-
manned there until it was seen that
the danger was over. One house. close
to the burning factory. was destroyed
while two others We're damaged. All
the houses were owned by Charles
Glidden. the well-known automobilist
who is now in Jerusalem. They were
occupied by employees of the F'ifield
works.
The fire in the F'ilieId shops was not
eXtinguishcd until the whole plant was
destroyed. The F'ifleld Tool Co.'S. build
ing is the property almost wholly Of
George w. F'ifield Of this city and the
products Of the company is widely
known. Mr. Fineld said early today
that there was fully 10000 tons of ma
chincry i'm a finished and unfinished
state in the factory and that all Of it
could be considered a total loss. He
said that the amount of Insurance.
would not equal the damage. although
he was unable to say just how much
insurance was carried on the property.
For some time the factory has been
running overtime to catch up the or
ders. This is the second fire that tao
concern has suffered from, the factory
having been badly damaged by fire
eight years ago.
At one time it was feared that the
flames would communicate with the
mills of the Lowell Weaving Co. which
are close to one side of the burning
building. but fortunately the wind blew
the sparks away from the weaving
plant.
The plant employed 225 hands.

RELATIONS ARE DELICATE.
Colombia Is Getting Tired Of Arguing
With President Castro.

Caracas, Venezuela Wednesday,
March 4.-The delicate relations exist
ing between Venezuela and Colombia
have been shown once more by the
precipitate return of DIR. Restrepo. con-
fidential agent appointed by President
Reyes, to make commercial and navi-
CATION treaty with Castro and so pave
the road to a renewal of diplomatic
relations. This closes one more chap
ter in the Venezuelan-C Colombian en-
brOgliO and marks the failure of
Colombia's fourth delegate to the
Venezuelan capital. 1t was after three
months of persevering but useless ne
gotiations that DR.. Restrepo on Sat-
urday last received his orders to drop
the matter and to return at once to
Bogota.
This action on the part of President
Reyes would indicate that he is con-
WINGED of the uselessness of arguing
further the alleged rights of Colombia
and that he is also convinced that
President Castro will not open the
ports and roads through which ColOm-
bian commerce entered Venezuela ever
since the conquest and which were
closed by decree two years ago, much
to the damage of the national and for
eign commerce of Colombia. 1t was
known that during the recent negotia-
tions, Colombia went SO far as to offer
to President Castro to cede to Vene
zuela some of the territory given to
Colombia by the arbitration award of
the Queen of Spain in return for an
equitable commercial and navigation
treaty. This proposition may now be
