By n Stomach Specialist.

As a specialist who has spent many

r,ravated by food fermentation. Hyper
acidity irritates the delicate lining OF
the stomach and food fermentation

fermentation interfere with and retard
the process of digestion. The stomach

one to two tcaspoonfuls OF bisurated

This was the explanation vouchsafed
by Sultan Nohammed V, in his speech
from the throne opening the Turkish

while our government had firmly
resolved on the strictest neutrality
he asserted. our fleet was suddenly
attacked by Russian vessels in the
Black Sea England and France then
opened hostilities on our frontier. We
were therefore compelled TO resist the

powers have at all times pursued

STUDY FIRE VERDICT
Commissioners Are Considering
Findings of Board, Which
Ex0nerated Sullivan.

Following the verdict OF the trial
board exonerating Deputy Chief Andrew
j. Sullivan for the injuries received by
the men of No. engine company at tho
fire in the American and 10 cent store
on December "A. the Commissioners to-
day began a review Of the testimony.
1t will be several days. Commissioner
Newman said. before decision as
reached. Until then the Commissioners
will make no comment concerning the
findings of the board. The Commission
they may approve or reject, IN whole
or IN part.
One result, 1t is believed, will be an
immediate renewal of efforts to obtain
the passage of legislation placing the
pension fund of the Fire Department
on a safe and adequate basis.
In nearly every city in the Country
fire department officials are retired on
half pay. In Washington the chief
engineer. whose salary Is $500 year,
is retired on 4 pension OF 500 a mOlth.
Whether he receives this amount IN full
each month depends upon the collection
Of fines in the Police Court from which
the pension fund is largely derived.

sbility for failure to discover the I.res,

the keping Of such records. The
inspectors are charged with the duty
of furnishing employers with the
printed forms to be posted and no
one else is given such authority
Employers Puzzled.
Scores of employers have requested
for a construction OF the law from
Corporation Counsel Syme. but hs
declines to take the initiative. He
has advised all such inquirers that
the laws provisions are plain. If
they are included in the lists Of en-
ployers covered by the law. they
have no alternative but to observe It.
The Corporation Counsel's office has
no means of ferreting out violations
OF the law, but il COMPLAINT Is made
to that office by citizens OF police,
alleging violation, such cases will be
Investigated and action taken, il
warranted. II is also made plain
the Police Court against Violators,
entirely aside from any action the
proposed inspectors may advise, and
such employers would have to de-
fend themselves in court.
The fact that the law eNempts
apartment houses brings up a
question which worries the Dis
trict assessors office. The ques
ton has been raised frequently as
to wheTher many apartment houses
which have transient guests should
not be classed as hotels. Two
apartments. the Highlands and
the Cairo. already pay hotel Ii
censes. Assessor Johnson said to-
day that he expected the new law
to bring the matter before his Of
flee In such form as to draw a
sharp line between apartment
houses and apartment hotels.
Another puZZlinE question will
be whether apartment house cafes
are to be classed as restaurants.
and whether mattresses employed
in them are to he given shorter

of others will not be decided. Dis

tions have been begun. or test
cases are brought. watch viii en-

CAMPAIGN ON
TAX BILL IS PLANNED
Brightwood Park Citizens to
Begin Move Against Street
Improvement Measure.

In an effort to defeat the Borland
amendment to the District appropria-
ton bill, which puts the cos, of street
Improvement upon the adjacent prop
erty holders, a letter campaign soon
will be initiated by the Brightwood Park
Citizens Association.
Congressman and Senators will be
urged to vote against the measure. and
to throw their influence toward the
granting OF suffrage to the District.
A meeting of the association was held
last night at the home of ID. D. Wilson,
1872 Madison street northwest In ad-
vocating representation for the District
in the Senate and House. A. W. Fellla
said that the letter scheme could be
used advantageously, and any measure
providing for votes for District resi-
dents should be the subject OF letters
to Home Congressman.
To show the need Of additional grades
in the Brightwood Park School and the
way OF lights. extension and betterment
Of grounds. the association has invited
Ernest l.. Thurston, superintendent OF
schools, and other school officials 10 at
tend the March meeting.
F. J. Metcalf, chairman Of the COM
mittee on schools. advocated easing
the grades in the school from four TO
eight, pointing out that unoCcupied
rooms were available, and that the pres
ent grades were not full. The Board of
Education viii be asked to make the
changes.
The Commissioners will be asked to
cut Thirteenth street through from
6pring road to Piney Branch road. and
Improvement to the sewerage on Long
fellow and Kennedy streets, between
Georgia avenue and Ninth street, will
be urged.
The association concurred in the view
recently expressed by the Rhode Island
Avenue Citizens Association, protesting
against the increase in taxes on prop
erty, and VI. J.. White will head a COM
rr:ttee to see the Commissioners and
protest against the excessive taxation.
Property owners who discussed taxa
| ton. said that in some instances their
tax rate was increased 10 per cent.
