to Dynamite Horse

Schuylkill county officers operated joint
ly in raid upon the homes of dozen
Italians who are imprisoned, charged
with Black Hand plot to blow up the
home of Tony Fiamingo, of McAdoo,
cousin of Jerome Pingatore, the Kel-
ayres man who was slain by Tony
Traviata. 1t is believed that big
Black Hand conspiracy has been uncov-
cred. Dynamite cartridges in great pro-
fusion were found in the trunk of
George Spardio, uncle of Tony Traviata,
the self-confessed slayer, and arms dis
covered in the home OF Thomas Chadano.
1t is thought that Pingatore was
killed because he had discovered some

Acid StOmachS Are
Dangerous


guished Specialist
Acid" stomachs are dangerous be-
cause acid irritates and inhames the
delicate lining of the stomach, thus
hindering and preventing the proper
action of the stomach, and leading to
stomach trouble from which people
suffer. Ordinary medicines and medici-
nal treatments are useless in such cases,
Tor they leave the source of the trou-
ble the acid in the stomach. as dam
gerous as ever. The acid must be neu-
tralized, and its formation prevented,
and the best thing for this purpose Is
teaspoonful of bisurated magnesia,
simple antacid, taken in little warm
or cold water after eating which not
only neutralized the acid, but also pre-
vents the fermentation from which
acidity is developed. Foods which or
dinarily cause distress may be eaten
with impunity If the meal is followed
with a little bisurated magnesia, which
can be obtained from any druggist and
should always be kept handy.--Adv.
