How To Prevent
Acid Stomachs And
Food Fermentation
BY q stomach SpeciaIist.

AS a specialist who has spent many
years in the study, and treatment of
stomach troubles, I have been forced
to the conclusion that most people who
complain of stomach 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 fermentation.
Acid irritates the delicate lining of the
stomach and food Fermentation causes
wind which distends the stomach alb
normally, causing that full, bloated
feeling. Thus both acid and fermen-
tation interfere with and retard the
process Of digestion. The stomach is
usually healthy and normal, but irri-
tated almost past endurance by these
foreign elements-acid and wind In
all such cases-and they comprise over
80 per cent of all stomach difficulties
the first and only. step Necessary Is to
neutraliZe the acid and stop the fer
mentation by taking in a little warm
or cold water Immediately after eating,
a teaspoonful of bisurated magnesia,
which is doubtless the best and only
really effective antacid and food cor
rective known. The acid will be neutral
iZed and fermentation stopped almost
instantly, and your stomach will at
once proceed to digest the food in a
normal manner. Be sure to
ask your druggist for the bisurated
as l have found other forms
lacking In its peculiarly valu-
able properties.-F. j. G.-Advt.

CHAPTER XVI.

IN spite Of the triumph Of yesterday,
in spite Of the exhilaration Of feel
ing himself at last upon the way
to the heart Of the problem, Yorke
awoke the next morning with a peculiar
depression Of spirits.
The tardy revelations Of the day be-
fore, important and essential as they
were, had left a tragic impression not
easily to be shaken off. That the dead
woman, the beauty and virtue Of whose
life had been 50 universally attested to.
could have been engaged in double deal
ing even he had not imagined. Even he
had not considered 1t within the bounds
Of possibility that a secret could exist
in her life, especially such a secret as
this discovery implied.
1t could only mean one thing. There
was but one reason for which a woman,
rich in her own right, would dun her
friends and sell her family jewels, when
she had but to go to her husband for
whatever sum she reuired. and that
reason was blackmail!
Some guilty secret she shared with
another-she, Victoria Van Rensselaer,!
some shameful thing which she would
go to any lengths, descend to any
depths to avoid having her family, and,
above all, her husband, cognizant OF.
Even Yorke's long and varied expert
ence in the dark byways of his profess
sion had left him unprepared for such
a revelation.
1t had been a bitter hour through
which he had passed with Robin the
previous day. The horror and grief Of
the man who had loved her so well was
narrowing even to one much accus-
toned to such scenes.
Yorke had succeeded in convincing
him, by the aid of a specialist in jew
els for whom they had sent, of his as
founding assertions that the heirlooms
were substitutions. They agreed not to
burden the already overtaNed mind of
Dysart with the unhappy fact of their
discovery until they had made further
progress. Robin and the expert were to
go down early on Monday morning TO
the safe deposit vault. and determine II
the rest of the unfortunate woman's
Jewelry had been tampered with. They
would at once notify him Of the result
of their investigation.

tanned more direct and daring allusions

spider in his paper, and asking him

or bad. The humorist wrote him this
answer and printed it

spider in your paper was neither good
luck nor bad luck for you. The spider
was merely looking over our paper

He was cnly mite Of a boy, dirty
and ragged; and he had stopped for
a little while in one Of the city's
free Fairgrounds to watch game
Of ball between boys Of his own and
a rival neighborhood. Tatters and
CRIME were painfully in evidence on
every side; but the little fellow at
tracted the attention Of q group Of
visitors, and one of them, reaching
over the child's shoulder as he sat
on the ground, gave him luscious
garden pear. The boys eyes spar
kled; but the eyes were the only
thanks as he looked back to see from
whence the gift had come and then
turned his face away, too shy or too
much astonished to speak.
But from that time on his atten-
ton was divided between the game
and his new treasure. He patted the
pear; he looked at it; and at last,
as il to assure himself that it was
as delicious as it appeared, he lifted
it to his lips and cautiously bit out
tiny piece near the stem. Then,
with long sigh Of satisfaction and
assurance, he tucked the prize safely
inside his dirty blouse.
"Why don't you eat it, Tony?''
demanded a watchful acquaintance.
EAT it7 All meself? Amt l
savin' it for mother?"
The tone, with its mingling of re
sentiment and loyalty, made further
speech unnecessary. Whatever Tony
lacked--and it seemed to be nearly
everything-he had learned human
ity's loftiest lesson. He had another
dearer than self, and knew the JOY
of sacrifice.
