CAREFUL DOCTOR
Prescribed Change Of Food Instead Of
Drugs.

1t takes considerable courage for a
doctor to deliberately prescribe only
food for despairing patient. instead
of resorting to the usual list Of medi-
cines.
Some truly scientific physicians re-
cognize and treat conditions as they
are and should be treated. Here's an
instance:
-Four years ago I was taken with
severe gastritis and nothing would stay
on my stomach, so that l was on the
verge of starvation.
II heard Of a doctor who had sum-
mer cottage near me-a specials:
from n. Y, and, as a last hope, sent
for him.
After he examined me carefully he
advised me to try small quantity Of
Grape-Nuts at first, then as my stom-
ach became stronger to eat more.
Il kept at it and gradually began TO
have color in ~ face, memory became
clear. where before everything seemed
a blank. My limbs got stronger and
could walk. So steadily recovered.
Now after year on Grape-Nuts I
weigh 1853 lbs. My people were sur
prised at the way 1 grew feshy and
strong on this food"

ADJUSTMENTS
ToDAYs GREAT PEACE MESSAGE
To Be Given by Ex- Consul Ledoux in
Lay Down Your Arms"

Speaking of Baroness Won Suttner's
great work Lay Down Your Arms"
the $4,000 Nobel Peace Prize Drama
which will be visualized at the Opera
House this afternoon and eve
ming as a feature Of Ex-Consul Lee
doux's inauguration of the Cinema
forum the Morning Telegraph Of
New York says:
Lay Down Your Arms" may be
very justly labeled as timely play
But it is more than that 1t is
play with a great message of univer-
time of universal war, the lesson
which the drama teaches is the more
powerful and the more pertinent.
:'The many battle scenes in which
the drama abounds are staged and
acted in a most realistic fashion. The
charging Of the troops in the face of
deadly fire from entrenched positions
is not an easy thing to stage realisti-
cally. either. But the able manner in
which all the actors take their parts
is responsible for many thrilling por-
trayals Of the horrors of war, almost
Nndistinguishable from actually.
The Moving Picture World" a very
severe technical critic. says: "The
Great Northern Studio is. noted for
the artistic quality of its photography
and for dramatic stories as well. The
spectator will find the beautiful cam
era work exemplified in this picture.
for it has some Of the loveliest Of
scenes and most charming of pictures.
On the other hand, whenever it's pur-
pose is to show gashes and wounds,
it is just as effective. The story was
built not to be merely dramatic but to
serve the authors purposes. This
picture keeps in view only the horrors
Of war. 1t is a competently made
picture of novel that has sold all
over the world. That it will be count
ed a wholesome lesson there is no
doubt. We need such a picture. It'll
do us good. 1t will help to convince
the world that motion picture shows
are doing their part in raising us to
higher things"
There will be a special session of
the "Cinemaforum" after school for
the special benefit of the children

How to Prevent
Acid StOmaChs
AND FOOD FERMENTATION
BY a Stomach Specialist

BY Stomach Specialist
AS a specialist who has spent many
years in the study and treatment, of
stomach troubles, l 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 ex-
cessive acid in the stomach, aggravated
by food fermentation. Hyper-acidity
irritates the delicate lining of the stom-
ach and food fermentation causes wind
which distends the stomach abnormally,
causing that full bloated feeling. Thus
both acid and fermentation interfere with
and retard the process Of digestion. The
stomach is usually healthy and normal,
but irritated almost past endurance by
these foreign demonstrated and wind.
In all such caseS-and they comprise
over 80 per cent. of all stomach difficult
ties-the first and only step necessary is
to neutralize the acid and stop the fer
mentation by taking in little warm or
cold water Immediately after eating,
from one to two teaspoonfuls of bisurat-
ed magnesia, which is doubtless the best
and only really effective antacid and food
corrective known. The acid will be neu-
tralized and the fermentation stopped al
most instantly. and your stomach will at
once proceed to digest the food In a
healthy, normal manner. Be sure to ask
your druggist for the bisurated magnesia,
as have found other forms utterly lack
ing in its peculiarly valuable properties

FIREMEN GET 3 CALLS
BUT FIRES ARE SMALL
Remarkable Stop on State Street,
However, Prevents Big Blaze

What might have been a serious fire
had it not been for its early discov-
cry and prompt extinguishment &C.
CURED at about Z o'clock Thursday
morning at the new residence OF ker-
win r. Hanks, IL Maple street. The
blaze was due to the igniting OF some
clothes which were on a clothes dryer.
which latter article had been leaned
against the chimney in the basement.
Some Of the articles on the dryer came
in contact with the pipe leading from
the furnace to the chimney, and when
a wood fire was started in the furn-
ace early in the morning the heat OF
the pipe ignited them, and they in
turn ignited some Of the floor timbers
overhead. The attention of some of
the people in the house was called to
the fire by the cracking of the
flames. A still alarm which was sent
in brought Hose 2 to the scene and
the fire was extinguished before any
material damage had been done.
The above call was followed at u.30 by
another to which Hose responded. and
was due to a rubbish fire which DR.. w.
s. Thompson had started out behind his
residence at 113 State street and which
got beyond control 1t was only by
the best of good work on the part Of the
firemen that {. serious blaze was averted.
H. f. Bowditch, who lives at 50 Grove
street and owns another house nearby at
1S7 State street. seeing the danger of ex-
listing conditions, sent in an emergency
call which brought Hose to the scene
in hurry. There were on the team on
its arrival but two men-Driver William
E. Corbett and Bet Ellis, but they got
the chemical tank on the wagon working
in short order. The fire at this time
was creeping up on the rear side Of the
but by the use Of the chemical from the
tank it was stopped.
The fire also worked It's way around
the rear of this house and up behind
and to the ell Of the residence of VIM
cent Dunning at 1863 State street. Other
frenen had arrived on the scene at that
time and because Of the threatening as
pect of the fire two lines of hose were
laid from the hydrant near the Augusta
House. after which the blaze was speed
lily conquered. The damage on account
of the fire was small and the work done
by the fremen which resulted in pre-
venting a destructive confiagraton is
worthy OF the highest praise.
The firemen received the third call for
tbs day when an alarm was sent in at
2a7 in the afternoon from Box 81, in
front Of the factory boarding house
on upper Main street The two hose
teams and the hook and ladder truck
made quick run but the cause of the
alarm proved to be but chimney fire
at the old Cormier house on Laurel
street. and was trivial affair.
