WHAT DYSPEPTICS
SHOULD EAT
A PHYSICIAN IS ADVICE

indigestion and practically all forms
of stomach trouble are, nine times out
of ten, due to aeidity; therefore
stomach sufferers should whenever pos
sible, avoid eating food that is acid in
its nature, or which by chemical ac-
tion in the stomach develops 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 prop
critics. This is the reason why dys-
peptics and stomach sufferers are usu-
ally so thin, emaciaIted and lacking 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 miserable existence
on gluten products, l would suggest
that you should try a meal of any food
or foods which you may like, in mod
crate amount, taking imm diately after
wards a teaspoonful of bisurated mag
neisa in little hot or cold water. This
win 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.
II has direct action on the stomach; !;
but by neutralizing the aeidity Of the
food contents, and thus removing the
source of the acid irritation which in
flames the delicate stomach lining, 1t
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 l must admit
4 that | cannot see the sense of dosing
an inflamed and irritated stomach with
drugs instead of getting rid of the acid
tho cause of all the trouble. Get a
little bisurated magnesia from your
1 druggist, eat what you want at your
next meal, take some of the bisurated
magnesia as directed above, and see if
I'm not right"

SILLIMAN, CONSUL, rs STILL
HELD PRISONER AT SALTILLo

Washington, May 11.-John Siliman,
United States consul at SaltillO, Mex
ico is still prisoner there, according
to dispatches received at the state de.
partment this afternoon. Minister
CORDOBA, Brazilian representative in
Mexico City, reported that he was max
ing the strongest possible representa-
tions to President huerta in the inter
est of Silliman S release, but had been
unsuccessful up to date. War Minister
Blanquit had previously assred Cor
doza that Silliman was safe at his
cOnslate and had not been molested.
The news that Silliman was still a
prisoner was a shock to offieialdom
here. Through the French and Brazil
ian legations in Mexico City, Secre-
tary of State Bryan sent to President
Huorta last week what was virtually
an ultimatum demanding that the con-
sui be found and sent at once to a
place of safety.
Assurances from War Minister Blan-
quet of Huerta s cabinet were given at
once that he was at liberty to go where
he pleased

OPEN FORUM.

Editor Journal: The "Good Roads
Boosters" are making strenuous eff
forts to try to convince the dear ebay
seed farmers" of their unfailing inter
est in their welfare Gas they are blind
to their own best INTEREST,".
Let us see for a moment who are the
real instigators of the present good
roads movement. For convenience, we
will classify them as follows, viz;
Automobile manufacturers, automobile
dealers, paving companies, bankers and
hangers-on who expect to land job at
good fat salary. The real object is
to build hard-surfaced speedway
from Seattle to San Francisco.
The above-named parties all have
selfish interests and do not care for
the farmer one whit, only to get his
money.
AS has been well stated by other
writers in your valuable paper, why
not use the $42,500 annually in build
ing permanent roads (not hard sur
faced) such as the Liberty, ROsedale
and other crushed rock roads which, if
given proper care after constructed,
at very small expense, would GER
tainly not drive prospective settlers
away from our state on account of poor
roads, and, as has been stated by the
end of twenty years, we would have
$50 miles of good roads which would
cover large portion of the main roads
of the county, and undoubtedly would
be in much better shape than the hard
surfaced roads would be at the end of
twenty years after their construction,
and we would still have our $S50,000
left to build more good roads.
