Dyspeptics
ShOuTd Eai

Indigestion and practically all forms
of stomach trouble, about nine times
therefore stomach sufferers, should,
whenever possible, avoid eating food
that is acid in its nature, or which bv
chemical action in the stomach devel-
ops acis5tty. Unfortunately, such a
rule eliminates most foods which are
pleasant to thei taste as we'll as those
which are rich, in blood, flesh and nerve
building properties. This is the reason
why dyspeptics and stomach sufferers
are usually so thin, ernaciated and
lacking in that vital energy which can
only come from a well fed body. For
the benefit to 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 ex-
istence on gluten products, it is suggest
ed that you try a meal of any food or
foods which you like. in moderate
amount, taking inm ediately afterwards
a teaSpu oOnfu1 OF BiSurated Magn eSia
in a little hot or cold water. This will
neutralize any excess acid which may
be present, or which may be formed,
and instead of the usual feeling of un-
easiness and fullness. you probably
will find that your food agrees with
you perfectly. There is nothing bet
ter than Bisurated Magnesia as food
corrective and antaoid. 1t has no di-i
rect action on the stomach; but by
neutralizing the acidity of the food
contents, and thus sremoving the
source of the acid irritation which in
flames the delicate stomach lining, it
does more than could be possibly done
by any drug or medicine that acts
upon the stomach lining rather than
the stomach contents. Medicines of
various kinds should be taken when
ever necessary but there is no sense
in dosing infamed and irritated
stomach with drugs instead of getting
rid of the acid-the cause of the
trouble. Get a little Bisurated Mag
nesia from your druggist. eat what you
want at your next meal. take some of

Teaching Birds Tricks.

flutes the statement so frequently made
that teaching a bird to draw water
needs apparatus and that the learning
Is cruelty to the bird.
1.-The following experience Of mine,"
he says, proves that 1t is not SO by
any means. We bought young bird
last January, SO wild that on our ap-
proach 1t few madly round the cage.
We hung the cage low and by patience,
after the bird got used to our proxim-
ity, induced it to take groundsel, first
held at STEMS length, then between the
fingers, finally from the lips. We used
to let him out freely, and he would
perch on the loaf next me at break
fast His perch projected through the
wires, and here was his favorite seat
when at liberty. Then tried hanging
bit Of groundsel by short string to
the projecting stick. After inspection
he pulled 1t up with his beak. On
frightening the string with q fresh
bit OF his preferred weed had the
pleasure and interest of seeing him
pull up the string with his beak till
the flower head was within reach,
catching the slack after each pull with
one foot and then transferring it to
the other, SO that the coils were quite
neat. Globe.
