The French reserves called out at the beginning of the war and con- centrated in camps, drilled and equip ped, have been brought from the mo- bilization camps and thrown against the German line of exhausted troops, and already have gained some con- siderable advance by compelling the German staff to weaken it's first line to prepare for the retreat through Bel gium of the big German army.

HOW TO NEUTRALIZE
DANGEROUS
STOMACH ACIDS

Few people besides physicians realize
the Importance of keeping the food con
tents Of the stomach free from acid fer
mentation. Healthy, normal digestion
cannot take place while the delicate lin
ing of the stomach is being inflamed
and distended by acid and wind--the
result of fermenting food in the
stomach. To secure perfect digestion,
fermentation must be stopped or pre-
vented and the acid neutralized. For
this purpose, physicians recommend get
ting little bisurated magnesia from
the druggist and taking a teaspoonful
in little hot or cold water immediate
ly after eating. They recommend bis
urated magnesia because it is pleasant
to take, has no disagreeable after
effects and instantly stops fermenta-
tion, neutralizes the acid and makes the
sour acid, bland, sweet and easily
digested.
The regular use of bisurated mag
nesia-be sure you get the bisurated
as other kinds of magnesia are of little
value-is an absolute guarantee OF
healthy normal digestion, for it over
comes and prevents that acid condition
which alone is the cause of trouble.

.CH|NA IS WORRIED
BY JAP STATEMENT
If Japan Holds KiaO Chau Il
Will Weaken Power Of
Present Government

Shanghai, Dec 10.-Pekin official
dom is muca perturbed, according to
dispatches received here today from
the Chinese capital, over the announce
ment by japanese Foreign Minister
KatO that the mikado might not return
Kiao Chau to China.
What communications may have pass
ed between the highest of japanese and
Chinese officials is not known, but
there is no question that the majority
of the official class in Pekin, as well
as the people generally, supposed the
Toxic government was pledged to re-
turn the possession to its original own
ers eventually, if it were wrested from
the Germans.
Just as this would have strengthened
the present Pekin administration hand,
so Kiao Chau S retention by japanese
will inevitably prove exceedingly dam
aging TO President Yuan Shi Kai s gov
ernment. The territory might have re-
NAMED indefinitely in the Germans
possession without particularly anger
ing the people but the subject having
been once stirred up and the impression
given that it was about to become Chi
mas again, there is widespread dis.
position to regard the country as hav'
ing been robbed Of it for a second
time.
So strong is this feeling that many
people believe President Yuan will be
driven to a declaration of hostilitic'
against Japan unless the latter fulfillS
the pledge it was suppoed to have Civ
en-, as means e. saving himself from
overthrow by his own countrymen.
1t may be that the Chinese were in
different once to their nation s affairs
unless it concerned directly the various
small communities they themselves liv
ed. A strong national feeling has beel
dev alOping among them in the few pas
years, especially since the revolution
and It is also fact that, in the citie
at least, they are toleraby well inform
ed concerning news Of importance 4
the countury as whole.
At any rate, it is certain that eve

other, ever since the japanese fir,
landed on the Shantung peninsula, if
were going to be necessary to fight Il
- Mikado's subjects. There were man
= testatons, too, Of more or less Of
i war spirit
The opinion was also freely oXpresst
that if Japan kept Kiao Chau, it wou
mot be satisfied with that possessiC
alone, but, unlike the Germans, wou
