Drug Clerk Tells How to

Recommends to Sufferers the Best
Stomach Remedy in MarshalItown
Today.

"lt is n wonder some Of us have
stomachs left" remarked well-known
drug clerk recently. While all drug
stores sell a score or more OF stomach
remedies for which there is a wide de-
mand. most of them are just plain pep
sin pills which digest the food that is
in the stomach at the time. They nave
no curative or strengthing erect on
the stomach at all, and Of course do
not reach or cure the cause. so the
same people keep on coming mere ana
buying them until they are real chronic
dyspeptics When anyone really asks
nv advice, | swear by and recommend
ordinary bisuratcd magnesia, which
doesn't digest the food at all but just
acts as an antacid and sweetens the
sour, fermentating contents OF the
! stomach. That stops the pain. heart
burn, sour rising, wind, bloating. full
ness, etc, in just few minutes. and
[ the stomach digests it's food without
help or trouble. which is the proper
way"
! doctors make mistakes sometimes.
| too" he continued. MY own aunt had
| all kinds Of trouble with her stomach
for years. She bought and used sew
eral STYLES OF digestive pills. but got
worse right along. as naturally she
! would Finally she went to doctor.
; who nearly scared her to death by
telling her she had cancer Of the stom-

scription and told me what he said. I

another doctor whom l knew very we'll
and he didn't tell her anything. but just
gave her this same thing. bisurated

since and that's three years ago.
She's my own aunt and know this

Trial Of Major keshIsr on Charges Of

Bio Seandai-koshIsr From Lemars.

Fort Terry, Conn.,, March 12-Has
the United States army Dreyfus OF
its own. in the person of Maj Benja-
min NJ. Koehler, whose trial is now
going on behind locked doors here?
Koehler is an Iowa man, entering
West Point from LIE Mars.
The accused Officer is charged with
acts of gross immortality. Witnesses
have been heard for both the prosecu-
ton and the defense. Newspaper men
and the public are barred from the
trial.
1t may be stated on good authority
that there has been no lack Of wit
nesses or Of testimony to the high
moral character of Maj. koehler, and
that the prosecution is having hard
time proving any actual basis for the
charges against him.
Neither conviction nor acquittal is
at all likely to end this case" said
an army man closely acquainted with
its details. 1T is not at all unlikely
that the conclusion Of his trial will
be followed by many transfers, and
by serious charges against several
officers.
Major Koehler, testifying in his own
behalf, has denied cata gorically the
charges against him. He declares he
is the victim Of a conspiracy on the
part Of those officers whose escapades
with the wives Of enlisted men and
women of doubtful character from
New London had been q scandal at
the post and whose misconduct he
had refused to overlook.
Alibis have been presented by
Koehler and his counsel covering the
specific instances Of immoral conduct
charged against him., The enlisted
men ut the fort are with sKoehler.
