HOW TO PREVENT
ACID STOMACHS
And Food Fermentation
By a stomach speciaIist

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 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-
hch abnormally, causing that full bloat-
ed feeling. Thus both acid and fer
mentation interfere with and retard
the process of digestion. The stomach
ritated. almost past endurance by these
foreign elements-acid and wind. In
all such cases-and they comprise over
30 per cent. of all stomach difficulties
the first and only step necessary is to
neutralizef the acid and stop the fer
mentation by taking In a little warm or
rold water Immediately after eating,
from one to two teaspoonfuIs of bisur-
Rted magnesia, which is doubtless the
best and only really effective antacid
and food corrective known. The acid
ton stopped almost instantly, and your
stomach will at once proceed to digest
the food in q healthy, normal manner.
Be sure to ask your druggist for the BIZ
Surated magnesia, as / have found
other forms utterly lacking in its pecu-
jiarly valuable properties.-F. ]. c.

No suit ever devised is more becoming
to the small boy than this one In Russian
style. 1t is finished with a sailor collar
and with a low shield that means
comfort as we'll as smartness. 1t can be
made from washable materials and from
wool fabrics. In the picture, white galatea
is trimmed with collar of blue and
that material is a good one for the autumn,
but the model can be copied in linen or in
cotton poplin or in serge for the older
boys. White cotton gabardine is good
too and the collar could be either of white
or of a color. Just now, there is
a fancy for embroidering boys suits
and cotton gabardine or linen or gal
atea would be charming with the
collar matching the suit and fin
ished with scalloped edges, while the
pockets and the shield also are scalloped.
The suit is a very simple one to make,
the coat being loose and held in by means
of the belt and the trousers are the regula-
tion sort with hens at the lower edges in
which elastic is inserted. The sleeves are
laid in plaits at the wrists that give Q
pretty, cuff-iike effect.

OUT OF THE SHAME OF CHINA

The Day of National Shame!
That is the way the Chinese have
named May seventh, 1915, when great
China bowed her submission to tiny
| Japan.
You remember the details-how
young Japan sent an ultimatum to
, China, Mother of the East. 1t was to
be answered on or before May seventh.
China looked at her resources; she
had no fit army, no wealth, no strong
industries, no education, none Of the
I things with which resistance could be
made. Humiliated and helpless, she
accepted the ultimatum.
| After the day of acceptance, China
was bowed to the dust. "Self-Con-
scious Disgrace Societies" were organ
ized here and there throughout China.
| Prominent Chinese agreed to. set the
custom of lowering the rainbow flag of
! the Republic each year on THE Day
of National Shame"
Millions upon millions of placards
and circulars, printed by all sorts of
| tered gratis throughout China, have
/ been and are now drilling this slogan
into the minds of the Chinese:
! DO not forget our country's shame
of May seventh"
! Out of the shame of China has risen
a flaming patriotism. 1t is a nation
alism the like of which China has
races in China. and each has formerly
thought along it's own peculiar tangent.
To-day the thinking OF all of them is
| focused. like the rays of the sun
through burning glass. on three main
objectives.
All China is now striving. first, for
a real army and navy so that China
may be able to resist foreign aggres-
sion; second, for the development of
native industries, so that China may
not be dependent upon foreign goods:
third, for universal education so that
| Chinese wits may not be outclassed by
/ foreign wits.
Out of her disgrace China is enter
ing upon the most vigorous national
and Industrial career. she has ever
known. Shame did it. Willard Price

Importance of Thorough Masticatlon
of Food Is Hardly Properly
Understood.

Chew your food WELL" is a motto
which should be written large on the
walls of dining rooms, restaurants,
and every other place where human
beings eat. The reason is that in or
der to digest food in the shortest pos
sible time, and with the least possible
effort, it must first be dissolved, and
this can be accomplished only by ade-
quate chewing.
Just how much thorough chewing
lessons the strain on the digestive ap-
paratus can be seen by a very simple
experiment
Take a one-inch cube of hard. solid,
into pint of water. 1t will take at
least half an hour and perhaps much
longer to dissolve, because a cube
of this size has only six square inches
of surface exposed to the solvent &C.
ton of the water.
II, however, a similar cube of candy
is broken into 100 smaller pieces be-
fore being placed in the water it will
dissolve 10000 times as quickly, be.
cause there is now 10000 times as
much surface area exposed.
In digestion we have to deal not
merely with simple solution but with
the chemical conversion of insoluble
into soluble substances-a much more
difficult process. For this reason a
one-inch cube of solid food would take
much more than 10 900 times as long
to digest,as the same quantity which
has been reduced to fine bits by the
action of the teeth and the saliva
glands.
Science now believes that much
modern dyspepsia arises from our hav,
ing lost the habit of living on hard,
dry foods. When all our food was SO
hard that 1t had to be well chewed be,
fore we could swallow 1t our salivary
glands were kept moro active and our
teeth cleaner.

w. p. G. HARDING SAYS PLACING
COTTON ON CONTRABAND LIST
NOT DESPERATE SITUATION.
COMPETITION is PREDICTED
Declares Germany Is as Anxious to
Have Cotton as the Allies Are to
Prevent Her-Many Bales May
Be Stored For Foreigners.

Birmingham.-w. P. G. Harding,
OF the Federal Reserve Board,
told the Alabama Merchants AS
ISOLATION here that the plac-
Ing of cotton on the contraband list
by the allies did not create desperate
situation, but rather one calling for in
telligent leadership. He urged South
ern bankers to make concessions to
finance the crop and predicted there
would be international competition for
the American crop despite the fact
that II was contraband. Mr.. Harding
handled, for the resere board, the ar
engagements for the S100,000,000 cot
ton loan fund He explained to the
Alabama merchants, however, that he
was not speaking for the federal
board, but was giving his personal
views.
Germany" said Mr. Harding, is
as anxious to have cotton as the al
lies are to prevent her. 1t is not In
conceivable that there may be evil
dences before very long of information
al competition for possession of the
South's great staple. 1t is at least
possibility that cotton will be pur-
chased in large quantities for foreign
account and stored in Southern ware
houses, to be shipped out as needed
and as opportunities for shipment
arise.
mo one has ever accused the Ger
mans of lacking in far sightedness
They are already looking forward to
what will happen when peace is re-
stored, and that they will make a SUI
preme effort to recover their lost
trade with other nations can not be
doubted. 1t is reasonable to believe
that they would look with eompla-
cency upon the absolute control of the
cotton market by the mills of Eng
land and America, permitting them
to secure their supplies of cotton at
very low prices and defer their own
purchases until after peace is made
and take the chances of securing then
their own stocks at much higher
prices? 1t is not reasonable to believe
that they will arrange to buy Notton
as the spinners of other nations buy
it. and can they not easily arrange to
have their cotton purchases stored in
this country for their account until
they can transport it to their own
shores?"

Yawn for Your Health.

Doctor Naegeli, professor of medi-
cine at Liege university, commends
the practice of yawning as a physical
reviver. A good yawn, the professor
maintains. is excellent for the lungs.
and for all the breathing organs as
well. But there Is an art in yawning,
he says, just as there is an art In
breathing. Every yawn should be as
deep as possible, SO as to bring all the
muscles of the throat and chest into
action, and also to fill the lungs with q
current of fresh air.
DOCTOR Naegeli has known of many
cases in which sore throat has been
alleyiated by persistent yawning, says
the London Chronicle.
