HOW TO PREVENT
ACID STOMACHS AND
FOOD FERMENTATION
BY a Stomach Specialist.

As a specialist who has spent many
years in the study and treatment Of
stomach troubles / have been forced to
the conclusion that most people who
complain Of stomach. trouble possess
and normal. The real trouble. that
which causes all the pain and difficulty.
is excessive acid In the stomach, aggra-
waited by food fermentation. Hyper.
acidity irritates the delicate lining OF
the stomach and food fermentation
causes wind which distends the stomach
abnormally. causing that full, bloated
feeling. Thus both acid and fermenta-
ton interfere with and retard the pro-
cess Of digestion. The stomach 10 u.s.
ually healthy and normal. but irritated
almost past endurance by these foreign
elements-acid and wind. In all such
cases-and they comprise over 80 per
cent. of all stomach difiiculttss--the first
and only step necessary is to neutralize
the acid and stop the fermentation by
taking In q little warm or cold water inn
mediately after eating, from one to two
teaspoonfuls Of bisurated magnesfa.
which IL doubtless the best and only
really effective antacid and food
corrective known. The ACID win ., be
neutrafized and the Fermentation

urated magnesia, as have found other
forms utterly lacking in its peculiarly
valuable properties.-F. ]. G.--Adv.

On Account Of the War.

That Proposed Canning Factory.

Editor Kennebec journal.
Sir. In a recent issue of the Kenne-
bee Journal member of the Augusta
Board of Trade asked for suggestions
concerning the proposal to start
sweet corn factory in or near Augusta,
A plant so situated which would not
only can corn, but beans, peas, apples
and other fruit, pumpkin, squash, To-
matoes. ETC., would be an mestimapie
boon not only to Augusta but TO the
whole surrounding community and II
To this could be added a cold storage
for apples and possibly starch rae
tory. the whole would together form
a concern that would add a large
slice of prosperity to US ALL, Almost
everybody eats canned goods in some
form or other SO that the market Is
right at home and the consumer as
well as the producer, would be Of
mutual benefit to each other. The
chief difficulty in getting sweet corn
grown for the factory, II might ven
ture an opinion, appears TO me 70 De
the gap between the price paid TO the
producer and the price the consumer
has to give after it Is put into TIN
can. Two and a quarter or l-2 cents
per pound the producer gets, the con-
sumner pays 10 or IL cents for a can
which after deducting weight OF water
etcss surely does not contain q pound OF
actual corn. :.
Now If the Augusta Board Of Trade
can solve the difficulty Of lessening
this gap by increasing the former and
reducing the latter there Is / feel as
sured very little doubt but what sucn
a factory would soon be an accom-
plished fact
If three cents q pound was paid the
farmer for good sweet corn. and II
cannot be grown at fair pront TOT
less and to the consumer eight cents
per can was charged for Maine sweet
corn. which Is always worth half as
much again as the western variety.
This gives five cents per can for
working expenses and surely that
should, under right management, De
sufficient.
Let Augusta have its own plant,
and run its own plant, for the benent
Of it's own people and then the nve
cents ought to do It.
| Such concern would greatly benent
working people by providing employ
ment to many, would benefit q fast
waning occupation, that OF tiiling the
soil, and would give everybody por-
ton at least of their food ut . reason'
able price.
Faithfully yours,

ebjIdren's eateehism on Malaria.


By means of catechism on malaria,
the United States Public Health Ser
s,,iee nroposes to teach children in the
!puhlic schools that this disease is con-
yeyed only by certain species of mos
uuitoes, and that It may be prevented.
This is another device that sanitarians
a, their efforts to conserve one. of the
most valuable of human possessions
ihealth-are turning to the young in
stead of TO the old and adopting new
methods for health Improvement
lvhat has been called the most power
f,,i agent of civilization--the public
.schools-is being utilized to this end.
No longer is it accepted that the
three Rs form the sum and substance
of school education. Public health
authorities now agree with Herbert
Spencer that the most useful KNOW
ledge is that which enables person
to preserve his health and life. one
difficulty in the past has been to pre-
sent this knowledge in practical form
FOR use of teachers and scholars.
In order to meet such difficulty,
simple catechism or primer on malaria
has Just been issued. AS with the
Shorter Catechism of our youth which
hogan with What is the chief end OF
manee the catechism on malaria De-
gins with this question. What is ma
Iaria?" Question after question then
follows in natural sequence to impress
on the minds of children what malaria
fever actually is, what causes it, how
1T is taken, and how to prevent II.
Much attention in this primer Is de-
voted to description of the mosquit-
oes that convey malaria, their larvae
and eggs. and their habits and breed
ing places. The next is supplemented
Inv a series of illustrations by means
of which teachers will be able to
identify these pests. and to demonstrate
them to their scholars during field ex-
cursions and in the class room. The
curious stages of development of these
pests are illustrated, first as eggs lying
fat on the water, then as cannibal
larvae feeding on each other, and then
1T the climax of their careers, when in
fun possession of wings and bills, they
become purveyors of disease to man.
Undoubtedly. when such simple but
important facts shall have been
learned by children, they will convey
this information to their homes, and
thus spread the gospel Of sanitary
science. As result, it may be ex-
pected that their elders as well as the
children themselves will take a greater
interest in eliminating the breeding
places of mosquitoes, and in taking
ouinine to destroy infection in their
bodies, and in screening their homes
70 guard against the bites of mosquit-
oes until malaria will cease to be the
great menace to health and prosperity
it is at present in many parts of our
country.
The use of this pamphlet In schools
should be encouraged by boards Of
education and teachers wherever ma
laria prevails.

Editorial Comment.
Higher Overhead.


When our friends abroad have finally
composed their differences and settled
down to pay the bills, their manufact-
urers are likely to find many read
justments necessary. They must COM
pete with their own and with other
governments for capital which means
that money will cost them more than
in the past. Taxes will be higher, very
much higher. Animosities engendered
by the war will restrict some markets.
1t will cost more to sell goods. Dis
rupted organizations must be recon-
structed and many specialists replaced.
All this means higher overhead charg-
es, greater costs Of production. and less
effective competition. European In
dustry will be on a new basis when
the war is over and costs Of production
will more nearly approach our own.
