HOW TO PREVENT
ACID STOMACHS AND
FOOD FERMENTATION
BY a Stomach Specialist.

AS n specialist who has spent many
wears in the study and treatment or
stomach troubles, have been forced
to the conclusion that most people
who complain OF stomach trouble
possess stomachs that are absolutely
healthy and normal. The real trou-
BILE, that which causes all the pain
and difficulty, is excessive acid IN
the stomach. aggravated by food Ter
mentation. Hyperacidity irritates the
delicate lining of the stomach and
food fermentation causes wind WHICH
distends the stomach abnormally.
causing that full boated feeling. Thus
both acid and fermentation interfere
with and retard the process of diges-
ton is by taking in little warm or

endurance by these foreign elements
acid and wind. In all such cases
and they comprise over 80 per cent
of all stomach diffculties-the first
and only step necessary to neutral
ize the acid and stop the fermenta-
ton by taking in little warm or
cold water Immediately after eating,
from one to two teasponfuls of bisur-
ated magnesia, which is doubtless the
best and only really effective ant
acid and food corrective known. The
acid will be neutralized and The fer

and your stomach will at once pro-

PITCHING ARMS
ARE DEVEL OPED
Throwing Of Hand Bombs Has Been
Greatly Developed by the
Serbians.

by Henry Wood. United Press staff
Correspondence h
NISCH, Serbia, May 3.-(By mail
to New York 1.-The throwing Of hand
bombs has been developed into one
OF the most formidable weapons of the
Serbian army.
1t is his ability along this line that
makes the Serbian soldier one Of the
best in the world Another thing
which contributes to the same repu-
tation, at least, according to DR.. s. H.
Hodge, one of the American Red
Cross surgeons in Serbia, is the Serb
ian's ability to get along with com.
missary department.
"A peasant in one Of thss southern
Serbian provinces for example," says
DIR. Hodge, will be called to the col
ors. The recruiting officer gives him
a bunch OF onions, ties a dozen bombs
onto him and turn him loose. No
further attention is paid OF him and
no further provision is made for him,
but in the due course Of time he turns
up at Belgrade, possibly with his
onions gone, but with his bombs still
intact, joins his regiment. and the
next day will be creating havoc In
the Austrian ranks by his bomb sling
ing"
The hand bombs now in general use
in the Serbian army are about the
size Of a large orange. They are ex'
ploded by means of fuse and an or
binary cigarette lighter is the only
other equipment furnished to the sol
der. Every tenth soldier In the Serp'
ian army. no matter In what branch
Of the service, is now equipped soleiy
as a bomb thrower.
Austrian prisoners here were frank
in admitting the terrible havoc
wrought by these. They are especial.
ly effective in breaking down tho
barbed wire entanglements before
trenches that are being carried by
assault and when finally they are hurl'
ed by the screaching, screaming Serb
fans into the midst of the trench de-
tenders themselves, panic almost IN
evitably follows.
One Austrian officer. prisoner at
N:sch. expressed to me as no one else
pos.iblv could, the point Of view OF
the Austrians as regards these pomos
a we'll as the efficacy OF the bombs
themselves. The officer was one OF
the goodly number at Nisch whose
positions as prisoners is probably
without an equal in the present war.
Austria has always at all times
looked down with the utmost con-
tempt on little Serbia and this has es-
pecially been tho case in military
circles. In the hopes OF overcoming
this attitude Serbia has chosen to
treat the Austrian officers taken pris-
oners in the most magnificent style
sb., can afford.
The most modern and commodious
set Of barracks at Nisch has been set
aside for them, they have been fur.
nished with polo ponies and they lead
very much the Liz, OF an officers club.
Little If any guard is placed over
them and Serbia has merely asked
their word Of honor as officers tnat
they won't run away. gs
In spite Of all this, the great bulk
OF the officers make no attempt what
ever to conceal their supercilious con-
tempt for their captors. They have
even regarded their word OF honor
given to the Serbians as OF such little
binding importance that not few OF
them have escaped.

Over at Monmouth there is located
company that publishes monthly a
poster size circular that is sent to the
city clerks and superintendent OF
streets of the cities in its territory.
The circular is edited by an humor-

his scattering remarks as received IN
this city:
! The boys around town wearing their
summer clothes look like they had fai-
lien under some tat woman when her
feet slipped.
If there were no men to dress up
for. the women would let their hair
hang down the back and put on mora
clothes.
When a fellow tells a joke in d

thing until he had to let it alone.
The only thing some women SAFE
for rainy day is a pair Of silk stock
ings.
It's all right to listen to the patter
of the rain on the roof If you don't
have to get up and put tubs and
buckets under the leaks.
Doesn't 1t make you laugh when q
fellows wife calls him "Dearie" in

Every mother knows lot Of things
that cannot be found in a magazine.

cept the arch in cats back.

grave anyhow.

MIDSUMMER DAYDREAM.

MIDSUMME DAYDREAM.
L know where there's hill
Where the brook makes a bend,
To go down to the mill,
And the meadowlands end;
And the forest trees rise
With the shadows between
That are glad to ones eyes,
And are soothingly green.
And you look far away
From the hilltop, and see
How the breezes all stray
Past the hawberry tree
That is deep in the wheat,
And go whispering low
In the glimmer of heat
Where the red poppies grow.
Miles away, so it seems,
Are the spires of the town
But the shade holds our dreams
Where the light shuttles down;
And there is not a sigh,
And there is not care,
And the hilltop is high
And / want to go there.
