WHAT DYSpEPTlCS
SHOULD EAT
A Physicians Advice.

indigestion and practically all
forms of stomach trouble are, nine
times out of ten, due to acidity; there
fore stomach sufferers should, when
ever possible, avoid eating food that
is acid in its nature, or which by
chemical action in the stomach de-
velops acidity. Unfortunately, such a
rule eliminates most foods which are
pleasant to the taste as we'll as those
which are rich in blood. flesh and
nerve building properties. This is the
reason why dyspeptics and stomach
sufferers are usually so thin. enact
ated and lacking in that vital energy
which can only come from a well fed
body. For the benefit of those suf-
ferers who have been obliged to ex-
or fatty food, and are trying TO keep
up a miserable existence on gluten
products, 1 would suggest that you
should try a meal of any food or foods
which you may like, in moderate
amount, taking Immediately after
wards a teaspoonful of bisurated mag
nesia in a little hot or cold water
This will neutralize any acid which
may be present, or which may be
formed, and instead of the usual feel
ing of uneasiness and fullness, you
will find that your food agrees with
you perfectly. Bisurated magnesia is
doubtless the best food corrective and
antacid known. 1t has no direct action
on the stomach; but by neutralizing
the acidity of the food contents, and
thus removing the source of the acid
irritation which infiames, the delicate
stomach lining, it does more than
could possibly be done by any drug
or medicine. AS a physician. l believe
in the use of medicine whenever nee
essary, but l must admit that l cam
not see the sense of dosing an infam-
ed and irritated stomach with drugs
instead of getting rid of the acid-the
cause of all the trouble. Get a little
bisurated magnesia from your drug
gist, eat what you want at your next
meal, take some of the bisurated mag
nesia as directed above and see if I'm
not right" --Adv.

Enthusiasm at the
Suffrage Convention.

Washington, Dec. Enthusiasm
over reports on what already has been
accomplished by the Woman Suffrage
movement and even greater enthusl-
asm over prophecies of what the flu
ture will bring forth marked the form
al opening sessions here, today. of the
45th annual convention of the Nation
al American Woman Suffrage Associa-
ton In calling to order the delegates
from all over the country. DR.. Anna
Howard Shaw, president of the organ
iZation, declared:
1.-The time is past when we say
Please let women vote This has
been changed to We demand an
amendment to the Federal Constitu-
ton, enfranchising women
The Victories already gained, she
asserted, meant that women now had
a right to make such demand.
The Illinois Suffrage victory, this
year. was celebrated, tonight, six
speakers from that state telling how
the result had been accomplished. All
the speeches were greeted with pro-
longed applause. The annual address
of President Shaw and one by Miss
Lucy Burns of this city on The Ma
tional Amendment" also were on the
night program. Three street meetings
in various parts of the city were held,
as will be done every day during the
convention.
The first days session ran smooth
ly. Without hitch or a single change
in the program, speeches of welcome
and responses, reports of various COM
mittees addresses and other business
had the conventions attention.
The purple and yellow flags of va
rious state suffrage societies decor
ated the walls of the hall, while in
the center hung great banner de-
handing in its flaming letters of gold
The amendment to the Federal Con-
stitution, enfranchising women" No
greater ovation was given to any
speaker than to Mrs. Pattie r. Jacobs
of Birmingham, Ala, when she declar-
ed that it was AN indictment of the
Southern women's intellect to say
that she did not want the ballot. She
was responding to the welcome to the
convention by Mrs. Nina Allendar and
Miss Alice Paul of this city. The con-
vention admitted delegates from North
Carolina and South Carolina, although
the organizations from those states
had not yet formally been accepted
into the national association.
Government ownership of railroads
was suggested as a result of woman
suffrage, when Miss Marie V. Smith
of New York reported that difficulty
had been found in getting reduced rail-
road fares for delegates. DR.. Shaw ex-
claimed, when we vote We'll own the
railroads."
Suffrage legislation has been intro
duced or passed in various states. this
year, on an unprecedented scale, ac-
cording to the report of Mrs. Mary w.
bennett of New York, corresponding
secretary.

DEXTER.
Dexter Grange.

An interesting session of Dexter
Grange was held, Saturday evening.
After the opening song, Work For
the Night is Coming" by the Grange
in chorus, the roll call was responded
to by humorous stories and quotations.
The question, Are We Doing All We
Can For the determination of the In
sect Pests? If Not What More Should
Be done?" was opened by A. A. East
man. A duet by Marion Robinson
and Mrs. Clifford, followed the dis
cussion of the question. The next
number on the program was a ques-
ton for discussion by the ladies. rs
1t Profitable to Make Pies and Dough-
nuts, or Can Something be Substi-
tuted That is Easier to Prepare?" The
argument was opened by Mrs. viii
Curtis and several other ladies ex-
pressed their opinions, all favoring the
popular New England old reliables. A
recitation by John Robinson was lis
tened to with interest. The closing
question under discussion was opened
by George Tibbetts and read as fol-
lows: Resolved. that the townsmen
should be employed in collecting
brown tail moth nests, with compe-
tent man in charge of each crew."
1t was reported in town, Saturday,
that an investigation of the Folsom
fire at Cambridge, several days ago,
is to be made. Certain things discov-
cred after the fire point to an incendi-
airy. 1t is thought that the fire was
set by some person stealing grain, as
a lantern of new type, not belong
ing to Mr.. Folsom, was found after the
fire near the grain bins. The loss to
Mr.. Folsom was a heavy one and
slightly covered with insurance. The
large quantity Of potatoes which he
stored were but slightly damaged by
the flames.
