wilson HAS BUSY
DAY AT DETROIT
Is Photographed Beside Henry
Ford After Trip Through
His Plant.
BY the international New. service.)

Detroit, Mich, July 10.-President Will
son had a strenuous and significant time
here today, making two speeches and
greeting more than $500 people at the
Ford plant. The final act wac to be
photographed standing beside Henry
Ford, pacifist.
''will you support the PRESIDENT" Mr..
Ford was bluntly asked.
"He has kept us out of war he replied
winking slyly.
Those who know say the Presidents
ovations today did not approach those
given Col Roosevelt on his visit here,
but expressed the opinion that Ford
will do the necessary"
A new angle of the Presidents Mexican
policy was revealed in his morning
speech. After referring to the bill of
rights" he said:
"A people have a right to do anything
they please with their own country and
their own government. l am old-fash-
ioned enough to believe that, and 1 am
going to stand by that belief. That is
for the benefit of those gentlemen who
wish to butt in
Addressing the Ford employees, Presi-
dent Wilson said:
II want to give myself the pleasure of
congra tulating you upon being associated
with a concern, not to say with man,
who knows the human relationships of
men TO each other, and who knows that
the real foundation of business is eff
cheney, and the interest of those who
work in the things that they are doing.
l wish you the best fortunes in the
world and assure you of my own deep
personal interest"

W HAT DYSPEPTICS
SHOULD EAT
A PHYSICIANS ADVICE.

indigestion and practically all forms
OF stomach trouble are, nine times out
OF ten. due to aCidity. therefore stomach
sufferers should. whenever possible, avoid
eating food that is acid in its nature,
or which BY chemical action in the stom-
ach develops aCidity. Unfortunately, such
a rule eliminates most foods which are
pleasant to the taste as well as those
which are rich in blood. flesh and nerve
building pTope rites. This is the reason
why dyspeptiCs and stomach sufferers are
usually so thin. emaciated and lacking in
that vital energy which can only come
from a well fed body.
For the benefit OF those sufferers who
have been obliged to exclude from their
diet all starchy. sweet or fatty food. and
are trying to keep up a miserable exist
ence on gluten products, I would suggest
that you should try a meal of any food
or foods which you may like, in moderate
amount. taking Immediately afterwards a
teaspoOntul Of hisurated magnesia in a
little hot or cold water. This will neu-
trallze any acid whiCn may be present
or which may be formed. and instead Of
the usual feeling Of uneasiness and full
ness, you will find that your food agrees
with you perfectly.
l know of nothing better than plain
olsurated maSnesia as a food corrective
and antacid. 1t has no direct action on
the stomach: but by neutralizing the
scidity Of the food contents. and thus re-
moving the source Of the acid irritation
which infianes the delicate stomach lin
ing, II does more than could possibly be
done by any drug or medicine
As A physician, l believe in the use of
medicine whenever necessary. but 7 must
admit that ! cannot see the sense Of dos
with drugs instead of getting nd of the
actd-thc cause Of all the trouble. Get A
little biSGrafed ma g7esia from your drug
giSt, cat what ypu want at your next
meal. AXE some Of the bisurated mag
nesia as directed above, and see n IN

in TWO COLLISIONS
BUT ESCAPES INJURY
Dr.. ]. W. Stewart Smashes Two Autos
but Finally Makes Call on
His Patient.

DR.. J. W. Stewart, of 1902 K street
northwest, wrecked two automobiles and
narrowly escaped serious injury yester-
day afternoon when he collided twice
within-ten minutes while responding to
an emergency call. Undaunted. he con-
tinued his trip after the second COL
lision and made the call.
Like a pony mail carrier of the West.
whose horse has been shot from beneath
him, DR.. Stewart extracted himself from
his own machine when 1t collided with
a truck in Sixth street, between Z and
F streets northwest, and conmandeered
the car of a friend.
At Sixth street and Virginia avenue
southwest. his second mount" skidded
on the wet street and he was struck by
an unidentified truck, doing slight dam
age. He hastily examined the borrowed
machine. and finding no wheels MISSING &
and the steering gear intact, he started
on the third lap of his eventful journey
and reached the call without further
mishap.

HUGHES AMERICANISM
IS given APPROVAL
Republican Candidates Mail Clossed
with Congratulatory Messages.
Hires Stenographer.
(By the sun News seryice.)

Bridgehampton,- N Y, July 1o.-The
demand of Charles E. Hughes for 100
per cent Americanism." as expressed in
his letter to Col. Roosevelt, when the
latter definitely declined the Progressive
Presidential nomination, has met a
hearty reponse throughout the country,
judging from the tenor of letters which
the Republican nominee is receiving.
The candidates mail Is so heavy that
the facilities of the local postoffice are
taxed, and Mr.. Hughes has found 1t
necessary TO employ an extra stenogra-
pher. Nearly all the letters are of a
congratulatory nature and many are
from men who express a desire to give
whatever assistance possible in the Re-
publican campaign.
Mr.. Hughes spent the entire day up to
8 o'clock this afternoon in his study. He
then made one round of the Bridge
hampton Golf Clubs links with his sec
retary, Lawrence H. Green.

FIGHT ON SOMME
British and German Troops
Clash at Arms Length
in Woods.
CBy the sun News seryiceD


London. July 1O.-The following has
been passed by the censor exclusively
for the Sun News Service:
A thrilling account OF an incident in
the fighting on the Somme, resulting in
the capture of 500 Germans and the kill
ing of at least an equal number was
told to the correspondent OF the Sun
News Service on Monday by a high Of
ficer who took part in it,
The fighting. which occurred in one Of
the woods in the vicinity Of Fricourt, d"
Officers and men were beyond talking
about. It was like an old peace maneuver
fight
I'VE started with the left flank in the
air. Our aim was a belt OF woodland
surmounting the slopes above village.
Enemy sprang from woods.
Inside the wood was a space which
supposedly was nearly deserted The en-
emy sprang to life With endless machine
guns and at the same time his bonbers
and machine guns attacked our right
flank
For three and a half hours the fight
went on hand-to-hand in the wood yet
We could not clear the enemy out. Our
position became critical. particularly
when our aeroplanes informed us that
the enemy were pouring out of the fur
ther part of the wood and were prepar-
ing to make heavy counter-attack We
had only one company left in reserve
Then our brigadier took a big risk
The question was. should he keep a re-
serve in hand to repel a counter-e tack,
or should he throw it into the fight and
try to defeat the present enemy before
a fresh enemy could arrive. He chose
the latter and sent in the remaining com
pany. This turned the scale. The moment
the enemy saw a fresh lot coming, they
gave in. We Cooped up the lot, and al
together cornered about 500"
