WHAT DYSPEPTICS
SHOULD EAT
A PHYSICIANS ADVICE

Indigestion and practically all forms
of stomach trouble are, nine times out
of ten, due to acidity; therefore stomach
sufferers should, whenever possible,
avoid eating food that is acid in its ma
ture, or which by chemical action in the
stomach develops acidity. Unfortunately,
are pleasant to the taste as well 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, emaciat-
ed and lacking in that vital energy
which can only come from well fed
body. For the benefit of those suffer-
ers who have been obliged to exclude
from their diet all starchy, sweet or
fatty food, and are trying to keep up q
miserable existence on gluten products,
l would suggest that you should try a
meal of any food or foods which you
may like, in moderate amount, taking
Immediately afterwards q teaspoonful
of bisurated magnesia 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
feeling 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
a = acidity of the food contents, and
us removing the source of the acid
Irritation which infames 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 neces-
sary. but I must admit that l cannot
see the sense of dosing an infiamed and
of getting rid of the acid-the cause
of all the trouble. Get a little bisurat-
ed magnesia from your druggist, eat
what you want at your next meal, take
some of the bisurated magnesia az di-
rected above. and see if I'm not right.

|DR. DIXON SPEAKS
ON 'FUSS|NESS"
Says That Selfishness Has a Good
Bit to Do With Making
Cranks Out of People

DR.. Samuel G. Dixon, State Com
missioner of Health, deals with one
of the most common and easily pre-
ventabie of ailments, business, in his
weekly talk on hygiene. The COM
missioner calls his remarks discus
sion of selfshness and hysteria and
his comments on the trouble and how
1T starts are well worth reading. The
commissioner says:
One cannot say that selfshness is
responsible for nervousness, and yet,
unquestionably, 1t is often a consider
able factor in causing nervous all
ments.
The self-centered individual who is
continually thinking of his own COM
fort and who manifests annoyance
over every trifle which interferes with
his particular occupation or activity,
is running decided risk. With ad-
vancing age a marked degree of ir-
ritability is almost sure to follow.

consideration is demanded for indi-
vidual whims without consideration

WARSHIPS ORDERED
TO THE CANAL ZONE
PRESIDENT DECIDES TO USE
FORCE If NECESSARY TO PRE-
SERVE NEUTRALITY.
Delay In Acting on Request Of Colonel
Goethals for Two Destroyers
Was Due to a Lack Of
information.

Washington. President Wilson and
his cabinet decided on Tuesday to
send American warships to the canal
zone to guard against violations OF
neutrality there by belligerent ships.
Just how many ships and whether
destroyers or cruisers. or battleshfps
shall be dispatched will be determined
after a full report has been received
from Colonel Goethals, military gov
ernor of the canal zone, and Captain
Rodman, naval officer at the canal
Both Secretary Garrison and Secre-
tary Daniels made it clear that the de-
lay in acting on the request OF Colonel
Goethals for two destroyers was due
to lack of information.
II the canal zone is being used as a
base of supplies, Colonel Goethals VIII
be instructed to use his land forces to
prevent such violations. Should 1t de-
velop that the wireless is being USED
within territorial waters, the navy de
partment will ask for an explanation
from its naval officers, as the ques'
tion of wireless regulation was placed
by executive order OF President VII
son on August in the hands of the
navy department for enforcement and
Colonel Goethals, according to the war
department officials, has no authority
over the radio situation whatsoever.
Whatever is necessary to be done, y
said Secretary Daniels Tuesday night,
to carry out the executive order OF
the president with reference to the
radio communication will be done"

SAYS CARRANZA
OBJECTS TO INTERFERENCE OF
UNITED STATES IN FIGHT
ACROSS THE BORDER.
Says That " This Country Employs
Force to Stop Firing Across 6or-
der, II VIII be Considered an
Unfriendly Act.

Vera Cruz.--"If the United States
employs force to stop the firing by
Mexicans across the international
boundary line at Naco. 1t will be con-
sidered an unfriendly act, notwith-
standing the friendly motives cloak.
Ing the act"
In this manner General Carranza
has made answer to the formal notice
served by the United States on both
Provisional President Gutierrez and
General Carranza that unless such fir
ing ceased, force would be employed
to protect American territory.
General Hill, who is commanding
the constitutionalist forces at Naco,
Is on the defensive" said General Car
rama, and since his back was to the
line Il Is difficult to see how he could
be responsible for the firing in ques-
ton. The fact is that Maytorena's
forces have been the attacking forces
and, therefore, 1t appears reasonably
clear that they and only they could
have been to blame.
AS a matter OF fact, do not know
that the rights OF American citizens
have been violated, 1t seems to me
that II would be well for the state de-
partment to investigate this question
In order to Ak the responsibility.
Il remember similar instances at Ell
Paso, when the Maderista forces
were attacking there. In that case
those shot were for the most part the
imprudent and curious individuals
who fiocked to witness the fighting as
II II had been a spectacular show
staged for their benefit"
