Begin Extraction
OF Radium Contents.

Denver, Col, Feb. 19.-The treatment
of $50 tons of pitchblende ore, the
product of a Colorado mine. will be
begun here today for the purpose of
extracting it's radium contents.
Hospitals and other humanitarian in
situations are to receive the refined
product. None of the product is to be
sold, according to instructions receiv-
ed here from A. l. Dupont of New Jer-
sey, owner of the ore.
The value of the radium contents
cannot be estimated, except upon the
speculative basis that two tons of
uranium metal are the equivalent of
LOS grams of radium bromide, of
which there are only two or three
grams in use in the United States. On
this basis the ore would have a VAL
ue Of about $500. 900.

Acid Stomachs Are
Dangerous
Common Sense Advice by Distin-
guished Specialist.

Acid" stomachs are dangerous because
acid irritates and inf1ames the delicate
lining of the stomach. thus hindering and
preventing the proper action of the stom-
ach and leading to probably nine-tenths
of the cases of stomach trouble from
which people suffer. Ordinary medicines
and medicinal treatments are useless in
such cases, for they leave the source of
the trouble. the acid in the stomach. as
neutralized, and it's formation prevented,
and the best thing for this purpose Is a
teaspoonful of bisurated magnesia, q
simple antacid, taken in a little warm or
cold water after eating, which not only
neutralizes the acid. but also prevents
the fermentation from which acldity Is
developed. Foods which ordinarily cause
greatest distress may be eaten with inn
punity if the meal is followed with q
little bisurated magnesia, which can be
obtained from any druggist, and should
always be kept handy.-Adv.
