DR.. SURFACE ASKS
FOR A HEARING
Makes Public His Letter to the
Governor in Regard to His
Dismissal

DR.. H. 4. Surface, the State econom-
is zoologist, whose term OF once has
been ordained to end on August Is, to-
day made public a letter sent to Gov
ernor Martin G. Brumbaugh at his
summer home in Wayne. Maine, on
August l, asking for a hearing. The
zoologist asks that a public hearing
be held at which my supporters and
enemies can come together and open
ly make and refute charges against
me-" The zoologist also says Il can
then point out the animus of each
opponent and shall be glad to answer
all criticisms publicly for I am assur-
cd by the Secretary of Agriculture that
no charges have been made against
me-"
DR.. Surface also thanks the Cover
nor for his telegram suggesting that
he see Secretary of Agriculture Charles
Z. Patton and insists that the State
Commission of Agriculture was misin-
formed about him. He says that all
his life has been open and that he has
followed the golden rule and wishes
others to do the same by him, es-
peciaNy those in authority.
The letter is four closely written
typewriter pages and points out to
the Governor his own commendation
of the work of DR.. Surface and con-
tends that there is nothing for which
he should be dismissed. The Governor
does not seem to have answered the
letter.

Acid Stomachs Are

Euished Specialist
Acid" stomachs are dangerous be-
cause acid irritates and infiames the
delicate lining OF the stomach, thus
hindering and preventing the proper
probably nine-tenths of the cases Of
stomach trouble from which people
suffer. Ordinary medicines and medi-
cinal treatments are useless in such
cases. for they leave the source OF the
trouble, the acid in the stomach. as
dangerous as ever. The acid must be
neutralized, and its formation prevent
ed, and the best thing for this purpose
is teaspoonful Of bisurated magnesia,
a simple antacid, taken in a little warm
or cold water after eating, which not
only neutralizes the acid, but also pre-
vents the fermentation from which
acidity IS developed. Foods which or
dinarily cause distress may be eaten
with impunity IL the meal is followed
with a little bisursted magnesia. which
can be obtained from any druggist, and
should always be kept han6y.-Adver-

found a litter for Burette and inter-
viewed the surgeon.
"Who?" said the major. THAT poor
fellow over there? Done for"
Gaspard returned to Burette. "Bu-
rette, old man, don't worry. 1t seems it's
nothing" They took Burette away;
Gaspard just had time to shake his
hand.
Gaspard passed the night in the vii
lage church, already full of the wounded,
with the moonlight streaming in from
above, for a shell had shattered the roof.
A large wooden figure of the Saviour,
painted and rudely carved, had fallen
near the altar, leaving one arm still
hanging to the cross. Near it, on lit
tie pile Of straw, man wounded in the
lungs lay painting. Gaspard crawled to
him on all tours.
Say, old man, can you move little?"
he asked.
Cant" said the other.
"Well, III make room," said Gaspard,
and, propped on one knee, he raised the
wooden figure in his arms with mighty
effort and pushed it close enough to the
wounded man to leave room on the other
side. Hes pretty heavy, the boss is"
he remarked

their heads, looked at the slowly vanishing
smoke, looked at the spot where the little cook
had been watching the pot, and there was
nothing left of him but some strips Of flesh.
Gaspard could not make head or tail
of the battle. Groups of men disap-
peared in the smoke; there were erup-
tionS Of turf and stone. Some one cried
out; he had his account. Two more
dropped, ten more, whole line.
THAT dirty artillery that doesn't
come up"
Not an enemy in sight, whole regi-
ment melting away in hell fire, and for
what? He could not make it out, but one
must keep on, anyhow. Pretty soon
there was a panic; the lines broke and
he could see the scared faces of his COM
rades as they ran. When one is "Pari-
got" of the rue de la Gate one does not
lose heart for long. He set the dog on
them Bite EN-" he said, they're not
men, they're mud hens"
But Burette and he were hit by pieces
of the same shell, and little later Bu
rette was wounded again, this time seri-
ously and he could not move. With
Burette on his back Gaspard made for
the rear, bleeding, staggering, swearing,
across open spaces where groups of the
wounded were crawling back. The gun
ners had seen them and the shells were
falling thickly. Too weak to dodge,
many were hit several times. Toward
dark Gaspard reached the ambulance,

fore he had left the little town Of A
for the front in a cattle car marked tex
cursion train for Berlin" With his two
companions, Burette, the journalist, and
Moreau, the machinist, both Parisians,
he took possession of the doorway in
order to Jump out and forage whenever
the train stopped. The others grumbled
until they got a share of the cask of
wine that he stole for them. Then came
the detrainment at a mysterious hour
on platform, without lights, in an I'M
known country called the frontier"
and the long, meaningless marching,
with no sign of the Boches.
They've all gone back to Berlin" said
Gaspard.
But after awhile nobody cared about
the enemy. WEAKNESS killed thought,
and there remained only a consciousness
of feet and back. Two hours rest, then
up again, cursing, squabbling, and Gas
pard worst of all, till his vanity woke
up at the captains order to make some
coffee.
He will show what he can do. There
are only two great men in regiment:
captain and cook, piston and cuistot. He
resolved to be cuistot. Death is not the
enemy, but hunger. Death kills at a
