HOW TO PREVENT
ACID STOMACHS AND
FOOD FERMENTATION
BY n Stomach Specialist.

AS specialist who has spent many
years in the study and treatment of stom-
ach troubles, have been forced to the
conclusion that most people who complain
of stomach trouble possess stomachs that
are absolutely healthy and normal The
real trouble, that which causes all the
pain and difficulty. is excessive acid in
the stomach, aggravated by food fermen-
tation. HyperciGity irritates the delicate
lining of the stomach and food ferrnenta-
ton causes wind which distends the stom-
ach abnormally, causing that full bloated
feeling. Thus beth acid and fermentation
interfere with and retard the process of
digestion. The stomach is usually healthy
ind normal, bu. irritated almost past en-
durance by these foreign elements acid
and wind. In all such cases-and they
comprise over 50 per cent Of all stomach
difficulties-the first and only step neces-
sary is to neutralize the acid and stop
the fermentation by taking in a littie
warm cold water Immediately after
eating. from one to two teaspoonfuls of
bisurated magnesia. which is doubtless
the best and only really effective antacid
and food corrective known The acid will
be neutralzed and the fermentation stop
ped almost instantly. and your stomach
will at once proceed to digest the food IN

will be used for a greater number of
packages than ever before. The Red
Cross stamp is but detail of the
many problems which the handlers of
the mails will. deal with in the next
two or three weeks.
Some Of the trouble over the Red
Cross stamps, which are sold as source
of revenue for the Anti-Tuberculosis
leagues work, is due to the fact that
in times past the pOstoffice depart
ment has permitted their sale in post
offices No such permission has been
granted this year and it seems doubt
full If premit will be issue. An APP
plication for the privilege of placing
a booth in the lobby of the Topeka
pOstOffice, made by the local repre-
sentatives of the Red Cross society is
in the hands of the treasury depart
ment at Washington. Confusion over
their value and purpose in years past
makes it doubtful if the department
will longer permit their sale around
pOstoffice buildings.

ASKS RECE|vERSHIP.
! Attorney General Takes Action Against
X. c. Viaduct and Terminal Co.

Kansas City, Mo-, Dec. 15.-Receiv-
ers were asked late Monday by John
Dawson. attorney general of Kansas
for the Kansas City viaduct and Ter
minal Railway company, which owns
and controls the intercity viaduct.
The application filed in the Wyan-
dOtte district court in Kansas City,
Kan, alleges the company is insol-
vent: that it has perverted and abused
it's corporate rights in falling to keep
in operation the street car tracks
across the structure connecting Kan
sas City. Mo-, and Kansas City, Kan,
and that 1t had failed to pay its an
nua1 corporation tax Of $1,000, due
last April. Eastern capitalists are
the principal owners.
The viaduct was built in 1906 at a
cost of three and half millions. In
1911 the Metropolitan Street Railway
company, which had been paying the
company $4,000 a month for the priv
ilege of running it's cars across the
structure. held the amount was ex-
cessive md removed them. This cut
off the principal source of revenue for
the vfaduct company and since the
viaduct has been losing venture.
The company was in temporary re-
ownership from December 2, 1911, to
January II, 1912, when upon it's own
request the receivership was dissolved.
The former receivership was asked
who alleged an effort was being made
from within the concern to wreck it
so it could be purchased at a smaller
price by other capitalists. The court
maintained the charges were not Sus-
tanned at that time.

The fact that no Filipino of the com.

living without at least one male chicken
explains why the islands, although
raising SO many chickens, still import
millions of dozens Of eggs. AS in all
cockfghting countries, the fighting bird
in the philippines is a personal pet
which the owner carries about during
practically every idle moment of the
day and on which he lavishes enough
care to raise many laying hens. Duck

which eggs are commonly eaten by the

Except with the putter there seems

that VardOn was beaten to a certainty.
His bah was six inches below the top
of the ground in deep, narrow rut-
And the green was 40 yards away.
"Vardon took out a heavy nibllck
and. in place Of playing to one side to
be sure to get out, took his stance in

Menace of the Machines That Strike
the Enemy In the Dark.
Submarines nave many elements
which make them ii dangerous menace,
but there are also many weaknesses
which partially offset their offensive
qualities Travelling under water. they
are invisible from ships except as the
periscope is shot above the surface to
reconnoiter. But they are quite easily
seen from air craft, even when ma
neuvering at great depth. They are
unaCtackable by gunfre, except when
they come to the surface, when their
frail structure makes them particularly
liable to sudden destruction. AS they
cannot be seen. they cannot be at
tackled by torpedoes from the ships
they are after. but if the periscope
comes up and the submarine is thus
located she is liable to guntire and tor.
pedo attack and to being rammed or
run down.
The limited view from the periscope.
due to its restricted elevation above the
water surface, makes it almost hope
less to attempt an attack in darkness.
But the little vessel can travel long
distances at night and be ready ut
break Of dawn to spread destruction
broadcast The submarine can easily
avoid a blockading fleet by passing be-
meath it. As its motions cannot be fol.
lowed with the eye, the submarine pos
sesses to an unusual degree the essen
tiaI elements for delivering a surprise
attack.
one of the chief means of lodging
submarines is to Keep continually on
the move, changing direction frequent
