PRESIDE, Tex, January 9.-A fresh
influx Of refugees from Ojinaga today
bore witness Of the belief on the Men-
can side Of the line that Gen. Villa is
about to lead the combined forces OF
the constitutionalists to attack the
town. Preparations were made by Red
Cross and army authorities to care for
more wounded.
The scene in the border district is a
strange one to jewellers on this side OF
the river.
The six-mile trail from Preside to

ton, rises from the Rio Grande valley

On this bleak road trudge Mexican
women and children, their arms full
and their briaht-hued garments tapping
in the wind.
Campares Mark Trail.
Here and there on the trail are seen
a handful of ragged Mexican soldiers
without their guns, or a wounded
federal officer tramping through the
sand; a runaway burro nibbling at the
mesquite, a numbering United States
Army wagon or an automobile bearing
the family of a wealthy refugee.
The Mexicans sleep on the ground, and
at night q line Of little campfres wind
ing through the mountains and over the

We have found an astonishing thing

such fermentation Is unnatural. and acid

fermentation of the food contents OF
the stomach and to neutralize the acid
and render 1t bland and harmless. a
teaspoonful of bisurated meSnesia,
probably the best and most effective
corrector of acid stomach known. should
be taken in a quarter of glass OF
hot or cold water Immediately after
eating. or whenever wind or aCidity is
felt. This stops the fermentation. and
neutraliZes the aCidity in a few mo-
ments. Fermentation, wind and acidity
are dangerous and unnecessary. stop
or prevent them by the use of proper
sntacid, such as bisurated magnesia,
which can be obtained from any drug
gist, and thus enable tho stomach to
do its work properly without being

Before Allies

The war spirit seems rampant
among American youth, playing
war" being a popular pastime with
Washington boys just now.
A mimic battle Of kiddies in Judici-
ary Square was waged this forenoon
and the conflict became so heated
that a big policeman was forced to
essay the role of TIE Hague, al
though before he brought about
peace" he was iabbed several times
by improvised bayonets in the shape
of sharpened sticks.
An African combatant who had in
jected himself into the fray without
any formal declaration of war was
the soldier" who appealed to the
bluecoat for protection, as the
mixed whites, representing several
nationalfties. resented his intrusion
and formed an alliance for the pur-
poses of the emergency.
Honors were awarded to an allied
force representing Ireland. Italy,
Greece, Germany. and Jerusalem.
Africa retreated in disorder.
