CUBAN senators are not going to
let Gen. Villa have anything on
them When the talk Of a mixed
bout being illegal was started IN
Havana, these senators got together
and fixed up a nice little testimonial
to Jack johnson, IN which they
guaranteed that johnson would be
permitted to box there, that he
would be safe from extradition, etc.
Then they tackled on their most
artistic signatures and sent It to the
champion. It viii now be up to
CuIley TO do the right thing, make
fac simile copies of this guarantee
and send it broadcast, as he did with
the Villa guarantee. And that is
what the Cuban senators want him
to do. Every little bit Of personal
advertising may help grab a few
votes at the next election

HOW TO PREVENT
ACID STOMACHS AND
fOOD FERMENTATION
az ! atomaeh snaelali.t.

Az specialist who has spent many
years in the study and treatment OF
stomach troubles, I have been forced
to the conclusion that most people who
complain Of stomach trouble possess
stomachs 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 and food fermentation
causes wind which distends the stom-
ach abnormally. causing that full
bloated feeling. Thus both acid and
fermentation interfere with and re-
tard the process OF digestion. The
stomach Is usually healthy and nor
mai, but irritated almost past endur-
!ance by these foreign elements-acii
and wind. In all such cases-and they
comprise over 80 per cent OF all stom-
ach diff1cult1es-the first and only step
necessary is to neutralize the acid and
stop the fermentation, by, taking IN a
little warm or cold water Immediately
after eating. from one to two tel.
spoonfuls Of bisurated magnesia, which
is doubtless the best and only really
effective antacid and food corrective
known. The acid will be neutralizei
and. the fermentation stopped almost
instantly, and your stomach will 1T
once proceed to digest the food in a
healthy. normal manner. Be sure to
ask Wilkinson & Co. or your druggist
for the bisurated magnesia. as I have
found other forms utterly lacking in
its peculiarly valuable properties
