ACID STOMACHS

A Physicians Advice on Cause and

Nine tenths Of All Stomach TroubIe
Said to 30 Due to Aeidity.

A famous physician whose successful
researches into the cause and cure OF
stomach and intestinal diseases have
earned for him an international repu-
tation. said in the course OF recent
lecture that nearly all intestinal
troubles, as we'll as many diseases OF
the vital organs. were directly trace

stomach which in turn was due nine
times out OF ten to excessive acidity,
commonly termed sour stomach or
heartburn, which not only irritated
and intlamed the delicate lining or the
stomach, but also set up gastritis and
stomach ulcers. It is Interesting to note
that he condemns the use or patent
medicines as well as OF medical treat
ment for the stomach. stating that ne
and his colleagues have secured re-
markable results by the use or ordih-
arv bisurated magnesia. which,

"lndicted."

Once indicted, a mans name is be-
smirched, and subsequent quashing OF
the indictment does not recompense
him for the obloquy he suffers. A man
of sensitive honor. whose whole life Is
based upon meeting his obligations, Is
as keenly hurt by an Indictment as he
would be by conviction OF crime. He
feels that his good name has been
fflched from him, and that he is left
poor, indeed.
It is an infamous and un-American
system that empowers grand jury
behind closed doors TO take one sided,
preiudiced, and often perjured tcsti-
mony. and upon It, to proclaim to the
world that the victim is a criminal.

sentenced. Il
No man should be indicted who has

On the other hand. II the charges are

TAILORING CHANGES

Why is it that man after man has
positively refused to ever pay $35 and
$40 any more for clothes? Why is 1t
that Marshalltown has less tailors
working on high priced clothes than
ever before? Why is 1t that the town
of Eldora has less than one-third the
number Of tailor workmen they had a
few years ago?
The answers to these questions are:

lnlted isress.
Nish. servia, Nov 1.-(By mail to
New York9-At .Krnpanj, on the east
ern bank Of the Drina, situation has
developed probably without parallel in
all the present European way.
Although able to boas. Of the fact
that they are in the enemy's territory,
the Austrians are in the rather embar-
RAISING position of neither being able
to advance nor retire. The least
movement on their part would mean
certain anninilation OF the entire de-
tachment.
For over month now these few
Austrians near Krupanj have been
face to face with the Seryians, the
trenches OF the two armies not being
on an average Of more than 60 yards
apart 1t is this proximity, together
with the apparent friendliness that
has grown up between the two bodies
CT troops, that has given rise to the
most unusual situation.
Every evening the Servians have re-
source to a most ingenious method Of
tantalizing their Austrian neighbors
in the trenches so near at hand. This
is for the Servians to sing the folk
songs of the various districts Of Ser
via. In the Austrian ranks there are
many Slavs, or Servians, coming from
Bosnia, Dalmatia, Croatia, Sl.vonia,
and other Servian provinces which are
under Austrian rule. That these folk
songs of the Seryians drive almost to
madness and desertion their brothers
in rival trenches there can be no doubt
and no small portion of the duty Of the
Austrian sentinels is that Of guarding
against Seryian desertions within the
Austrian ranks rather than Servlan
attacks from without.
In response to these folk songs OF
the Servians, the Austrians who are
not of Slav origin set up cries OF
"Come on you half starved Servians
surrender yourselves; come over to
us; we'll give you something to eat.
In response to this, the Seryians, To
show that they are not half starved
cease singing and shower the Austrian
trenches with chicken bones and other
remnants of the evenings repast
Another favorite pastime of the Ser
vlans is to hurl whole volley of tin
cans and boxes at the trenches. pre-
tending they are bombs and accom-
pany them with vocal volleys which
initiate to perfection the sound OF ex
ploding shells The Austrians reply
by swearing at the Servians in al
twelve languages most commonly
spoken in the Austrian empire, to
gether witt, goodly number Of dla
lect "cuss words
Despite this seeming lriendIiness
there is never a relaxation for a mo
ment either in the military precau
tions or the consciousness on botl
sides that the instant the order come
to fight, it means fight to the last man

men now in the trenches have been
there for month without change The
odor Of decaying bodies which lie be-
tween the two trenches, rises also con-
stantly to the nostrils Of both little
armies, but despite the menace of
this, and despite the seeming friend
llness between the two lines, there is
not man who does not know that to
venture forth even to bury or drag
away the corpses, would mean instant
death.
