F0ur or Fipe Persons Killed M German Aerial Raid 0n
 Eastern Coast 0f England
As Many More Wounded by Bombs . Which Were Dropped by Kaiser s
 Ai1men 0n Several English 7'o1vns

l into Norfolk Square Garden, close by the beach and the Britannia pier. This did no damage. The raider then proceeded in a southwesterly direction across town and when near the center dropped several bombs in the neigh borhood of St. Peters road, the main thoroughfare leading to the parade ground. It was here that the greatest damage was done, especially in the smashing of windows in houses and shops. The bombs, from all accounts, were dropped in rapid succession. One bomb was dropped near the fish market, apparently with the in tention of destroying any ships an- chored in the vicinity.
 Woman's Body Recovered.
 Kings Lynn, Via. London, Jan. 20, 3:35 a. m.-The body of a woman, the widow of a soldier recently killed at the front, was recovered from her demolished home today. This makes the second death recorded here as a result of the aerial raid.
 The streets of Kings Lynn are this morning virtually, paved with glass and souvenir hunters have been pick ing up pieces of bombs.
 An outstanding feature of the raid appears to have been the skill with which the German airmen, in the darkness followed their route and dropped bombs in the vicinity of King Georges house at Sandringham and Queen Mother Alexandras bungalow at Snettisham, as we'll as at the docks, water works and railway station here and at the Grimston ammunition depot.
 Railroad Sheds Wrecked.
 According to the police the raiders circled twice over Kings Lynn and dropped bombs in the neighborhood of the railroad station and the docks. Three missiles fell close to the station and wrecked the sheds in which the royal railroad coaches were housed. One or more bombs were dropped along the water front among the docks and damage was inflicted on the hydraulic engine house.
 The dense darkness and the slight mist which prevented effective pursuit of or successful shooting at the raiders also hindered them in their efforts to reach some of their apparent obiectives or to aim their bombs with the maximum accuracy. Thus the visit to Sandringham, which King George and Queen Mary left at 10 o'clock yesterday morning, was not effective although some bombs were dropped in the vicinity of the royal residence.
 Two Persons Killed.
 The casualty list at Kings Lynn, so far as is known this morning is two persons killed and four injured. They were all in a group of houses on Ben tjnck street which was wrecked by one bomb. The police are still search ing the ruins.
 The casualties at Yarmouth are two killed and one injured.
 There is still a difference of opinion here as to whether the German raiders came in Zeppelins or aero rlo

Stomach Troubles
Due TO ACidity
so SAYS EMINENT SPECIALIST

So-called stomach troubles. such as in
digestion wind and StOmach-ache are in
probably nine cases out Of ten simply
evidence that fermentation is taking place
I'm the food contents Of the stomach, caus-
ing the formation Of gas and acids Wind
distends the stomach, and causes that
full oppressive feeling sometimes known
as heartburn. while the acid irritates and
infames the delicate lining Of the stOm-
ach. The trouble lies entirely in the fer
menting food. Such fermentation is I'M
natural. but may involve most serious con-
sequences If not corrected. To stop or pre-
vent fermentation Of the food contents Of
the stomach and 10 neurraliZe the acid, and
render III bland and harmless, a teaspoon
full Of bsurated magnesia, probably the
best and most effective cOrrectOr OF acid
stomach known. should be taken in a quar-
ter Of a glass Of hot or cold water immedi-
ately after eating or whenever wind or
acidity is felt. This stops the fermenta-
ton. and neutralizes the avidity in a few
moments. Fermentation, wind and acidity
are dangerous and unnecessary. Stop or
prevent them By che use Of a proper
antacid. such as bisurated magnesla which
can be obtained from any druggist and
thus enable the stomach % do It's work
properly without being hindered by poi
sonOus gas and dangerous acids.-M. F. +.
