RENNENKAMPFF

General Rennenkamff, the Russian of ficer who was recently placed on the retired list, according to a dispatch
 from PetrogTad, was considered at the outbreak of the war s1s one or the Czar's best and most brilliant officers
 Much was expected from him., and when he raided East Prussia during the first fortnight of the conflict, and relieved the French army of much pressure by advancing on Konigsberg
 he was hailed as a hero. Soon the tide turned against him, and it was report ed in December that he had been re- Heved of his command because of his failure to take up position through which the German armies were to be hemmed in. Rennenkampff, it is a1- legged, arrived two days late. and thus caused the collapse of the whole stragic plan. German papers alleged that he had not only been superseded but that he has been disgraced and thrown into prison Rennenkampfff was one of the few Russian officers who emerged from the Russo-Japan- csc war without suffering any loss to his military reputation. After that conflict he was highly honored by the

Swedish Crown Prince Has An
 English Wife, German Mother

With an English wife who is firmly attached to the cause of the Allies, and a German mother who is openly a sympathizer with the Teutons. Crown Prince Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden
 has found it somewhat difficult to
 maintain peace in the royal househo old The heir to the Swedish throne will celebrate his thirty-third birthday to- day, as he was born on Nov. II, 1882. He became Crown Prince eight years ago, when his father ascended the throne as Gustavus V. The Prince is a great-great grandson of Marshal Bernadotte, the Frenchman who foun- ed the present Swedish dynasty about a. century ago. Gustavus Ado1phus is a son-in-law of H. R. H. the Duke of ada, having married the Dukes eId- est daughter, Margaret Victoria, Aug usta Charlotte Norah, ten years ago. She has given him three sons and a daughter.
 The Crown Princes mother, Queen Victoria, was a princess of Baden, Ger many before she became the bride of the D Bernadotte prince who now plays the role of monarch-a role which practically leaves him no power and which makes him the servant, rather than the ruler, of the repre- sentatives of the Swedish people. Since the outbreak of the war Queen Vic toria has spent much time in Ger many, and has been shown conspicu- ous attention by the Emperor and Empress It is alleged that when the Swedish Queen visited Berlin she was given an ovation by thousands of students, and that she joined them in singing t'Deutschland Ueber AIles" According to the Berliner Tagoblatt she publicly declared that her sym pathies were all with Germany, but upon her return to Stockholm this was officially denied. While at Kar- 1sruhe the Queen had a narrow es- cape when the royal palace was at tackled by French aviators. The crown Prince has two brothers-Prince Will helm, who married the Russian Grand Duchess Marie Pay1ovna, but divorced her because of her escapades, and Prince Eric, who is now twenty six. Gustavus Ado1phus's eldest son bears the same name, and is now nine years old. His other children are Prince Sigvard, aged eight; Princess Ingrid five, and Prince BertiI, three.

LUERETIA MOTT

The first of the group of women suffra gist pioneers who founded the
 modern American movement having votes for women as it's object was Lueretia Mott, who died in Phi1adeI- phia thirty-five years ago today. She was born in Nantucket, Mass, in 793 and married James Mott. a prominent abolitionist, who was long in the mer- cantile business in Philadelphia. At twenty-five she entered the Ministry of the Society of Friends, and from that time until her death her voice was always raised in behalf of the downtrodden of all classes. Although for a time she was for a time mainly concerned with advocating the. aboli- ton of slavery, she was from the first deeply impressed with the unequal political condition of her sex. With Elizabeth CaGy Stanton. whose cen tenary will be celebrated tomorrow, she held the first suffrage convention at Seneca Falls, N. Y, in 184S. While Mrs. Stanton thus shared the honor of initiating the movement, Mrs Mott was a grown woman when Elizabeth Cady was born, and was even ther

STOMACH TROUBLES
 DUE TO ACIDITY
So. Says New York Physician

So-called stomach troubles, such as indigestion, wind, stomach-ache and inability to retain food, are in prob ably nine cases out of ten simply evil dence that fern mentation 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 feel ng sometimes known as heartburn, while the acid irritates and inf1ames the delicate lining of the stomach. The trouble lies entirely in the excessive secretion of acid and the fermentation is unnatural ,and may involve harm ful consequences if not corrected. To stop or prevent fermentation of food contents of the stomach and to neu- tralize the acid, and render it bland and harmless, a teaspoonful of bisu- rated magnesia, perhaps the best and most effective corrector of acid stom- ach known, should be taken in a quar- ter of a glass of hot or cold rvater inn mediately after eating, or whenever wind or acidity is felt. This stops the ermentatior, and neutra1izes the acid ity in a few moments. Term entation, wind and acidity are unnecessary. Stop or prevent them by the use of a prop CT antacid, such as bisurated nnagnesia, which can be obtained from any drug gist and thus enable the stomach to do it's work properly without being hil1dered by gas and excessive acids Adv

It was again as Cossack leader that he entered East Prussia last year, when his tenn porary success was followed by dismal failure. Gen Rennenkampff is about sixty years old. In appearance he looks like a German, and it is said that he has much Teutonic blood in his veins. The allegation has been made in some quarters that this ac- counts for his failure to live up to his reputation, but this is scarcely to be taken seriously Speed in moving his. forces was always Rennenkampff's hobby, and by the irony of fate he -has been disgraced because of his fail ure to make good his own speciality.
