HOW TO PREVENT
 ACID STOMACHS
AND FOOD fERMENTATI0R
By a Stomach S~ecialist.

AS a specialist who has spent many years in the study and Urea tment of stomach troubles, have been forced to the conclusion that most people who complain of stomach trouble possess s:omachs that are absolutely healthy and normal The real trouble, that which causes all the pain and difficulty. is excessive acid in the stomach, ag- gravated by food fermentation. Hyper acidity irritates the delicate lining of the stomach ana food fermentation causes wind which distends the stom- ach abnorma1ly. causing that full bloated feeling. Thus both acid and fermentation Interfere with and retard tine proc ess of digestion. The stomach Is usually healthy and normal, but irri- tated almost past endurance by these foreign elements-acid and wind. In all such cases-and they comprise over 90 per cent. of all stomach difficulties the first and only step necessary is to mentation by taking in a little warm or cold water immediately after eating, from one to two teaspoonfuls of bi- surated magnesia. which is doubtless the best and only really effective ant acid and food corrective known. The acid will be neutraliEed and the fer mentation stopped almost instantly, and your stomach will at once proceed to digest the food in a healthy, normal l manner. Be sure to ask your druggist for the bisurated magnesia, as I have found other forms utterly lacking in its peculiarly valuable properties.-F. J. c.

Commodore william A. Rogers, Vice
Commodore James Burch, Reginald
Rutherford and Charles H. Wagner. the
Washington Canoe Club succeeded in
adding four firsts. six seconds and four
third places at the American Canoe AS
ISOLATION regatta to it's string OF
trophies for this season. This wa7 in
spite of the fact that the men were
required to use canoes of an unfamiliar
type and in some of the races double
blade paddles, which are seldom seen on
the Potomac.
There are two classes of competition
at Sugar Island, the racing class ana
the cruising class. and competitors are
permitted to enter in one class during
the meet, only. Fer this reason. the
team split, Rogers and Wagner taking
the cruising class events and Rather
ford and Rurch competing Tin the racing
class.
In the fitting contest, Rutherferd and
Burch defeated Rogers and Wagner IN
the finais-fter It series OF splriteo
bouts. There were nine crews IN tbs
event, and the showing of the WASH
ington boys was surprise to hotn tne
spectators and themselves. The canoes
used were very narrow and unsteady:
On the following day Burch and RUTH
erford took second and third. respect

Ireland, one of the Canadian cham
pions from Toronto, first.
In the next event Wagner took an
easy first in the cruising class single
blades. Rutherford and Burch lost the
single blades doubles half-mile race to
Ireland and Quick of Canada by a
scant ten feet. having delayed their
sprint tee long. The cruising class

there are two handsome trophies

ing 1t where he wants to. Control
helped to make Mathewson famous.
and Alexander is almost in the same
class with Big Six" when it comes to
locating the plate. Alexander uses the
corners for his targets, and his skill
in keeping the ball close to the batter
or on the outside corner of the pan is
not surpassed by any other pitcher in
the game
Alexander Has Wonderful Control.
Alexander is just as skillful in plac-
ing his curve ball over the right spot
as he is his fast one" The curve
calls for twist of the wrist as the
ball shoots from the hand and this
twist makes it curve as it reaches the
batsman. The fast ball. is delivered
with all the strength of the pitchers
tight or loose, which gives it the hop
that makes 1t shoot over the bat as II
it were jerked with a string. The "un-
derhand" or raise ball. which Erskine
Mayer, Slim Sallee, Earl Moore and
one or two others use effectively, also

been particularly noteworthy in both

than one star has been dimmed. Bill
James, who was largely responsible
for landing the Boston Braves world
champions, has retired for the season
to nurse his arm, which has been
weakened by the use Of the splitter"
Nap Rucker is far from the pitcher he
was in former years, and the 'knuckle"
ball is blamed for his weakening. Even
the great Mathewson has lost the won

clare Matty is now resorting to the
splitter" to keep himself in the league.

Coombs, the former Iron Man" of the
Athletics, has come back" in remark

Phillies has been doing creditable work

argument, but there is no doubt about
the greater chances OF success for the
