Gas In the Stomach
Is Dangerous
Physicians Recommend the Use of
Magnesia

Physicians Recommend the Use of
Magnesia
Sufferers from Indigestion or
dyspepsia should remember that
the presence of gas or wind in
the stomach invariably indicates
that the stomach is troubled by
excessive acidity.
This acid causes the food to fer
ment and the fermenting food in
turn gives rise to noxious gases
which distend the stomach, ham,
per the normal functions of vital
internal organs, cause acute head
aches, interfere with the action
of the heart, and charges the
blood stream with deadly poisons,
which in time must ruin the
health. Physicians say that to
quickly dispel a dangerous accu-
mutation Of wind in the stomach
and to stop the food fermentation
which creates the gas, the acid in
the stomach must be neutralized
and that for this purpose there is
nothing quite so good as tea
spoonful Of pure bisurated mag
nesia taken in a little water i'm
mediately after meals. This in
stantly ncutralizes the acid, thus
stopping fermentation and the
formation of gas, and enables the
tnfIamed, distended stomach to
proceed with its work under nat.
ural conditions. Bisurated mag.
nesia is obtainable in powder OF
tablet form from any druggist
but as there are many different
forms of magnesia it is important
that the bisurated which the ply
sicians prescribe should be dis
tinctly asked for.

DOWN COUNTY
ROAD PROGRAM

In the name of republicanism,
the county commissioners last
night were urged by the Young
Mems Republican club to forget
some of. their fancy paving prof.
ects, and to cut mill or two Off
the taxation rate.
Harry F. Austin, deputy coun-
ty assessor, let it be known that
his office already had heard pro-
tests from taxpayers at the am
bilious program of the commits
sioners.
While expressions were yelled,
the action of the club virtually
said to the commissioners: III
you haven't any sense of your
own, have some consideration for
the political welfare of your
friends"
A committee will call on the
commissioners to urge them to
reduce the county road fund by
at least SO per cent.

SLEUTHS BEAT HIM,
SAYS "DOGGIE" MILLER
Knocked Down by Tucker Be-
fore He Fired Fatal Shot in
Self-defense.

Jacob "Doggie' Miller took the witness
stand today before Judge Ralston at his
trial for the murder of Detective Harry
Tucker and denied all the major points OF
the testimony on which the Common
wealth rested its case shortly before
noon He denied that the confession he
had signed had ueen shown to him and
asserted that he was not advised that
anything he said would be used against
him. He said Captain of Detectives
Cameron had expressed disappointment
when his captors brought him In alive
and that he had fixed his signature to
the document admitting that he had shot
the detectives after he had been repeat
edly threatened
Young Miller testified for about 90 min
utcs and reviewed the history of the
events leading up to the fatal shooting
of the two detectives He declared he
did not know how many shots had been
fired. He was knocked down several
times by Detective Tucker, he said. and
remembered nothing until he reached the
railroad tracks near Trenton avenue and
Cambria street, where he was shot at
five times by a failroad watchman. De-
tectives Namely and Tucker let him go
into the alley where the shooting oc-
Cured, he said, to allow him to take a
small dose of heroin from a bottle that
they had taken away from him.
The defense also put Millers sister,
Mrs. Mary Peco, on the stand She swore
her younger brother, Louis, said he would
testify against his brother, because
every one was against him The de-
fense then rested, indicating that self
defense would be the plea entered in
final argument.
Assistant District Attorney Rogers in
arguing for the State declared that no
responsibility for the punishment of the
prisoner on trial rested on any individual
of the jury. He pointed to the prisoner
in the dock and said he was the man that
killed Detective Harry Tucker.
Amid intense silence he pointed at
young Miller and said: There sits the
man who took from Philadelphia one of
its best citizens 1t does not make any
difference how long Detective Tucker was
sick. We ask for murder in the first
degree"

BARNES MAILED" "SAY
ROOSEVELT LAWYERS
Testimony on Printing Matters
Pleases Colonel Immensely.
Trial Begins to Lag.

SYRACUSE, N. Y, May 7-When more
expert printing testimony was offered
today. at the resumption of the $4,000
Barnes libel suit. the attorneys and back
ers of Colonel Theodore Roosevelt openly
declared they had mailed william
Barnes to the cross" with the proof that
he assigned to the Albany Journal Com
pany $4,000 due him from James b.
Lyon.
The Colonel only grinned broadly and
refused to comment.

That's what I've got 'em for"
The Roosevelt counsel believe they have
dealt Barnes a telling blow and have deti-
nitely connected him with the alleged
printing ring" The Journal minute book
showed that the $50, 900 was Barnes sal
airy for two years from James B. Lyon,
who was the head OF the j. b. Lyon Print
ing Company. of Albany, from which
Charles NJ. Winchester, vice president and
general manager of the concern, swore
the Barnes journal Company received
large commissions for public printing
jobs done by the Lyon company.
Professor Henry j, Home, a printing
expert, who testified before the Bayne
commission in 1911, will take the stand
today to tell how much cheaper certain
State jobs could have been done than was
charged for them by the Lyon Company.
Today's proceedings were expected to
be enlivened by the testimony of Gilbert
c, Bishop. the missing witness" Bishop
was for many years a bookkeeper and
confidential man in the office of the Jour
nal Company. For two years he has been
missing Last night he turned up uneX-
