II Harry Thaw is in doubt as to his
legal status just at present, he is no more
perplexed regarding it than many men
of clearer intellect. Moreover, the man
ner in which the man has been batted
about the rapidity and the violence of
the changes has not conduced to clear
thinking on the subject on his part any
more than on the part of the public
which has followed the devious ways of
his case.

st. Louis is said to be the second
American city to erect statue to the
poet, Robert Burns. Il is needless to ask
Barre people what the first city was nor
is it necessary to inform thousands OF
visitors who have admired the memorial
on the Spaulding school grounds. If st.
Louis is open to suggestions, we would
assert that no more satisfactory design
and no more beautiful and enduring ma
terial for its purpose could be found than
the design and material contained in the
first American memorial to Burns. There.

While the United States is receiving a

critical time. If we need secretary OF

CURRENT COMMENT
How to Get Prohibition.

While we think that state wide pro-
hibition would be ideal, we do not think
the Perry bin is the way to bring it
about. Vermont has made rapid improve
ment of conditions under the present
system Of local option and it is only a
question of time when every town and
city, with perhaps the exception Of our
largest ones, would vote for it any way.
And the annual agitation on the question
works more for the common good than
anything else Wilmington Times.

WHAT DYSPEPTICS
SHOULD EAT
A Physicians Advice.

Indigestion and practically all
forms OF stomach trouble are,
nine times out of ten, due to acid
ity; therefore stomach sufferers
should, whenever possible, avoid
eating food that is acid in its ma
ture, or which by chemical action
in the stomach develops acidity.
Unfortunately, such a rule elm
mates most foods which are pleas
ant to the taste as we'll as those
which are rich in blood, flesh
and nerve building properties.
This is the reason why dyspep-
tics and stomach sufferers are
usually So thin, emaciated and
lacking in that vital energy which
can only come from a we'll fed
body. For the benefit of those
sufferers who have been obliged
to exclude from their diet all
starchy, sweet or fatty food, and
are trying to keep up a miserable
existence on gluten products, ]
would suggest that you should
try a meal OF any food or foods
which you may like, in moderate
amount, taking Immediately aft
erwards teaspoonful of bisurat-
ed magnesia in a little hot or cold
water. This will neutralize any
acid which may be present, or
which may be formed, and in
stead of the usual feeling of un-
easiness and fullness, you will
find that your food agrees with
you perfectly. Bisurated mag
nesia is doubtless the best food
corrective and antacid known. 1t
has no direct action on the stom-
ach; but by neutralizing the acid
ity of the food contents, and thus
removing the source of the acid
irritation which inflames the del
icate stomach lining, 1t does more
than could possibly be done by
any drug or medicine. AS q
physician, l believe in the use Of
medicines whenever necessary,
but ! must admit that | cannot
see the sense of dosing an inflam-
ed and irritated stomach with
drugs instead of getting rid of
the acid--the cause of all the
trouble. Get little bisurated
magnesia from your druggist, eat
what you want at your next meal,
take some of the bisurated mag
nesia as directed above, and see
IL I'm not right"
