Stomach Troubles
Due to Acidity
SO SAYS EMINENT sPECTALIsT.


SoAcalled stomach troubles. such as
indigestion. wind. and stomach-ache are
In probably nine cases out of ten simply
evidence that fermentation Is taking
place in the food contents Of the stom-
ach, causing 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 inflames the del
.cate lining of the stomach. The trou-
BILE lies entirely in the fermenting
food Such fermentation is unnatural,
and acid formation is not only un-
natural, but may involve most serI-
Gus consequences IL not corrected. To
stop or prevent fermentation of the
food contents OF the stomach and to
neutralize the acid. and render Ii bland
and harmless, a teaspoonful OF bis
urated magnesia, probably the best and
most effective corrector of acid stom-
ach known. should be taken In quar-
ter of a glass of hot or cold water inn
mediately after eating, or whenever
wind or acidity is felt. This stops the
fermentation. and neutralizes the acid
ity In a few moments Fermentation.
wind and acidity are dangerous and un-
necessary. Stop or prevent them by
the use of a proper sntacid. such as
bisurated magnesia, which can be OBJ
tanned from any druggist and thus en-
able tile stomach to do its work proper

or Polish Russia.
Rabbi Silver yesterday told of his
difficulties in getting out of the coun-
try. He was forced to disguise HIM
self before he could get a passport be-
cause the Russians are retaining all
men of fighting age even though they
are naturalized American citizens
After he did get the passport he was
compelled to travel by OK cart to Pet
rograd, then cross the Baltic in a little
steamer. He reached Sweden, then
travelled by rail to Christiania, Norway,
where he succeeded in securing pass
age to this country on Danish boat.
When the war broke out Rabbi
Silver was in Russia. He said the
Jews rallied at the first call and that
there are now nearly half million of
them fighting in the Russian army.
Later he was in the devastated por-
tions of Poland where 200 towns and
villages were destroyed during the first
German invasion.
Rabi Silver is preparing reports of
his travels to be presented at the
meeting of the association of Ortho-
doX Jewish Rabbis in New York, next
week. He left this country about one
year ago. intending to return last Oc-
tober but was unable to get out be-
cause of the war.

 These 5000 cases represent the last of the Indian opium that will come leg ally to China. This was stock which was certified by the British govern ment in India and permitted to come to China during the last few years before the British government final ly terminated the shipments to this country. Since that time opium mer- chants in shanghai have been fight Ing hard to get the drug into China. and the Chinese have been struggling to keep 1t out. Now, however, the Chi nese minister of finance. Chow Hsueh- hsi. being driven to desperate ends, has Undoubtedly with the sanction of President Yuan. without whose ap- proval it could not be done) agreed to settle this long standing question by allowing opium to be consumed in Kiangsu for. 1t Is estimated, at least two more years.
 Meantime governors of different provinces, according to authentic and persistent reports have also modified their restrictions on the planting of the poppy. because of the need of money and the large revenue which can be derived from the sale and transit of opium.

Peking. October s.-tCorresnondence of the Associated Press. )--The effects of the war upon China have been se- we're in many ways and one of the worst is that the government driven for need of money to desperate straits. has now been compelled to relax. for the purposes of revenue, on the splen- did opium reform which it achieved in recent years to the amazement of the world.
 The Chinese government has been living for number of years largely on loans procured from European coun- tries. These loans came to an abrupt end when the war began.

Worse Than 42-Centimeters

From the Scribner Magazine.
 The effect of some of the newer types of high explosive shells Is almost be- yond conception. For sheer horror and destruction those from the Austrian made skoda howitzer. known as "Pil- seners,' make the famous 42-centimeter shells seem almost kind.
 The Skoda shells weigh 2S00 pounds, and their usual curve is four and half miles high. In some ground they pene- trated 20 feet before exploding. The ex- plosion, which occurs two seconds after impact, kills every living thing within 150 yards, while scores of men who escape the flying metal are killed, lacerated or blinded by the mere pressure of the gas.
 This gas pressure is so terrific that 1t breaks in the roofs and partitions of bomb proof shelters. Of men close by not a fragment remains. The gas gets into tho body cavities and expands, It, erally tearing them to pieces Occasion ally the clothes are stripped off. leaving only the boots, Rifle barrels near by are melted as though struck by lightning
 These mammoth shells, such as the "Pilseners' and Jack Johnstons," travel comparatively slowly, however usually giving enough warning of ther approach so that the men have time to dodge them Their progress Is so slow. indeed, that sometimes they can be seen.
