Jacowscheff arrived here to-day from
Mitrovitza, Western Serbia, having

The secretary asserted the Serbians

much longer and that the only hope
was that the Serbian force concen-
trated at Mitrovitza would prove to be
strong enough to take the offensive
and advance through Tetovo toward
Monastir. He said he feared the lega-
ton STATS, which were preparing to
leave MitrovitZa for Monastir some
time ago. would find that the Bull
garians had occupied Monastir.

Take Iron, Says Doctor, IF You

Strength Like an Athlete i!

I have seen dozens of nervous. run
down people VINO were ailing all the
while, double their strength and endur-
toms of dyspepsia, liver and other
troubles In from ten to fourteen days
time simply by taking iron in the
proper form. And this after they had
in some cases been doctoring for
months without obtaining any benefit
But don't take the old forms of reduced
iron, iron acetate or tincture of iron
simply to save a few cents. You must
take iron in form that can be easily
absorbed and assimilated like nuxated
iron IL you want IL to do you any good
otherwise II may prove worse than
useless. Many an athlete or prize
hghter has won the day simply because
he knew the secret of great strength
and endurance and filled his blood with
iron before he went into the affray
while many another has gone down to
inglorious defeat simply for the lack
of iron.
NOTE-Nuxated Iron recommended
above by Dr. Sauer, is one of the newer
organic iron compounds. Unlike the
older inorganic iron products, il is
easily assimilated, does not injure the
teeth, make them black. nor upset the
stomach; on the contrary, it is a most
potent remedy, in nearly all forms of
Indigestion, as well as for nervous
run down conditions. 1t is dispensed in

Acid Stomachs
Are Dangerous
ABOUT NINE-TENTHS OF ALL SToM-
ACH TROUBLE SAID To BE
DUE To ACIDITY
A PHYSICIANS Advice on Cause and Cur


a New York Physician who has made
tinal diseases says that nearly all in
testinal troubles, as well as many dis
eases of the vital organs, are directly
traceable to a deranged condition Of
the stomach. This in turn is due about
nine times out of ten to excessive acid
lty, commonly termed sour stomach or
heartburn, which not only irritates and
infiames the delicate lining of the
stomach but also may set up gastritis
and In a large majority of cases gas
trio ulcers are accompanied by hyper
acidtty. 1t is interesting to note that
he condemns the use OF patent medi-
ctnes, and practically all medical treat
ment that is designed to act upon the
stomach lining. stating that the best
results are obtained by the use of a
simple antacid which acts upon the con-
tents of the stomach and neutralizes
the acidity OF the food thus removing
acid he prescribes ordinary bisurated
magnesia. He contends that il is as
foolish TO treat the stomach itself as
II would be for q man who stepped on
without first removing the tack. Re-
move the tack and the foot will heal
itself-neutraltze the acid and the
stomach troubles will disappear. Irri-
are useless, so long as the contents of
the stomach remains acid: remove the
acidity and there will he no need for
medicine-the inflamed linlnG of the

from aeldity, sour stomach and heart
burn should get small bottle of bisur-
ated magnesia from their druggist and

the doctor has found most efficacious

NEW ONSLAUGHT
MENACE SERBS
IContimed from First Pagel

IContimed from First Pagel
that Tetovo is in the hands of both
the Serbians and Bulgarians. but the
preponderance of evidence points to
Bulgarian occupation of this front.
The Bulgarians are making desper-
ate efforts to force their way through
Katchanik Pass in the direction of
Pristina. They are also attempting TO
advance from Tetovo to Perlepe and
Monastir and. by forcing Babuna Pass,
Ito reach Perlepe from the other side.
1t Is at present problem whether
the newly arrived French and British
forces are large enough to meet this
Bulgarian onslaught which apparent
ly has begun with extraordinary vigor.
What Greece will do in event the
allied troops are forced back over the
Greek border is still a matter of spec
ulation. message from Greece says
the government will extend to the Ser
bians the same privileges us those ac-
corded to the French and British in
case of their encroacnment on Greek
territory, but in view of the fact that
no definite announcement has been
made as to what these privileges win
be further than the original statement
of Premier Skouloudis that the allied
troops would be permitted to reach
the sea unmolested. the intentions OF
Greece remain obscure.
On the Galician front the Russians
while admitted they have yielded
some ground in the neighborhood OF
the Styr forts, do not concede they
have been forced back across the
river, as is claimed in the German Off
cial communication of yesterday.
Further details of this fighting will
be necessary to determine whether
the Russians have lost the town of
Czartorysk. and whether Russian con-
troll of the Kovel-Sarny railway is en-
dangered.

Athens of the Exchange Telegraph
Company says it has decided that in
the event ora retreat of the allies to

Premier Skouloudis originally pro-
posed to permit the. French and Brit
ish to reach the sea without inter

arm Serbians who crossed the border.
The change is due, the correspondent
says. to formidable objections raised
by the French minister at Athens.

define her position clearly. Desig-
