BY A PHYSICIAN.
eerNDIGEsTIoN and practically

&C INDIGESTION and practically all
forms of stomach trouble are,
nine times out of ten, due to
acidity; therefore stomach sufferers
should, whenever possible, avoid eating
food that is acid in its nature, or which
by chemical action in the stomach de-
velops aeidity. Unfortunately, such
rule eliminates most foods which are
pleasant to the taste as well as those
which are rich in blood, flesh and nerve
building properties. This is the reason
why dyspeptics and stomach sufferers
are usually so thin, emaciated and lack
ing in that vital energy which can only
come from well fed body. For the
benefit of those sufferers who have
been obliged to exclude from their diet
all starchy, sweet or fatty food, and are
trying to keep up a miserable existence
on gluten products, I would suggest
that You should try meal of any food
or foods which you may like, in mod
crate amount, taking Immediately after
wards teaspoonful of bisurated mag
ncsa in little hot or cold water. This
will neutralize any acid which may be
present, Or which may be formed, and
instead Of the usual feeling Of uneasi-
ness and fullness, you will find that
your food agrees with you perfectly.
Bisurated magnesia is doubtless the
best food corrective and antacid known.
1t has no direct action on the stomach;
but b. neutralizing the acdity of the
food contents, and thus removing the
source of the acid irritation which in
flames the delicate stomach lining, it
does more than could possibly be done
by any drug or medicine As a physi-
clan, | believe in the use of medicine
whenever necessary. but / must admit
that ! cannot seq the sense of dosing
an inflamed and irritated stomach with
drugs instead of getting rid of the acid
the cause Of all the trouble Get a
little bisurated magnesa from your
druggist. eat what you want at your
next meal. take some of the bisurated
as directed above, and see if

Tree Planting Machine.

With a tree planting tool designed by
a Utah blacksmith, the hole is dug, the
little tree inserted and the earth packed
around the roots in one operation, says
Popular Mechanics. The implement con-
sists of a bar with cross-arm at the
top and three blades Of spring steel at
the bottom, somewhat on the principle
of the postdigger, and having lever
near the lower end. The lever is
pressed with the foot, the tree inserted,
and the tool is then thrust forcibly into
the ground. A lever at the top of the
handle is then twisted to open the
blades and the implement is screwed
around in the hole until the soil is pull
verized The planter is then withdrawn
leaving the cultivated earth packed
around the roots of the plant. Expert
ments made by the U. s. forest service
have shown that one man with this tool
can plant 90 small trees in 35 minutes.

Women Hostesses
An INTERESTING movement is on
~ foot whereby the Farm Women

~ foot whereby the Farm Womer
of America may become hostesses
to the farm women of many foreign
nations, if the plans set on foot at the
Tulsa, Okla, meeting in regard to hav
ing building at the Panama Pacific
Exposition in 1915 are adopted.
The building advocated will be erect
ed in a suitable place on the exposi-
tion grounds; it will be equipped with
the latest appliances and conveniences
that are used in modern farm homes.
Farm women of the different states
will be hostesses at various stated
times and the building will in this man
ner be meeting place for the farm
women of the world.
1t is stated by those in authority
that the plan has received the sane
tion of the International Congress of
Farm Women and that ground will be
broken for the building this month.
Weekly conferences during the en-
tire time of the exposition will be an
interesting phase of the plan; discus
sion luncheons will be arranged, prizes
offered for the most practical model
farm home, etc.
Affiliiation with the international
Congress of Farm Women is the mat
ter that is uppermost in the minds of
all farm women today, and every in
dependent farm woman's club in the
United States and Canada should write
to Mrs Harbert, president of the con
gress, and learn the method of organi
zation.
If you contemplate starting such a
club, and are interested in the Farm
Woman's building at the Panama-Pa- !
cific Exposition, write to Mrs. Belle

HELEN'S TEMPERAMENT AT
EATTT

Ii seems To me it would take the
wisdom of Solom TO answer the ques-
ton, who Is To Blame? in this
case.
One must ponder the question from
all points of view and take into con-
sideration the childhood environment
OF both people involved.
Being a woman, my sympathy nat
urally is with Helen. However, a
great deal of her unhappiness she
brought upon herself.
Some may say, Helen never had
any real trouble" True enough, but
TO one of Helen's temperament cit
was trouble enough" to cause her to
be unhappy.
After ali. in the life of the average
married couple it is the little events
Of everyday life that make or mar
their happiness.
"As the twig is bent, so the tree in
clines." Just so with husbands.
Perhaps there would have been a
few stormy scenes. banged doors and
fearful eyes If Mr.. Warren had not
had his way all the time and Helen
asserted herself. but after time he
would have found out that his wife
really was a creature with a mind
and a few ideas of her own.
AS it is. as time passes. circum-
stances get more complicated and
there seems to be no way to untangle
the web they are uncOnsciously weav-
ing.
Warren is not all bad and with the
right kind Of wife, he might be made
an ideal husband.

at fault. because no wife can go

if the husband is continually having

wife that can enjoy health OF body

she is really not to blame for some
