STOMACH TROUBLES
DUE TO iACiDlTY
so SAYS EMINENT SPECIALIST

: +. = 4 Z - 2
So-called stomach troubles, such as
indigestion, wind, stomach-ache and
inability to retain food are in prob
ably nine cases out of ten sim
ply evidence that fermentation is
taking place in the food contents Of
the stomach, causing the formation
of gas and acids. Wind distends the
stomach, and causes that full. oppres-
sive feeling sometimes known as
heartburn, while the acid irritates and
inflames the delicate lining of the
stomach. The trouble lies entirely In
the fertnenting food. Such fermen-
tation is unnatural. and acid forma-
ton Is, not only unnatural but may in
volve most serious consequences II
not corrected. TO stop or prevent fer.
mentation of the food contents of the
stomach and to neutralize the acid,
and render It bland and harmless, a
|teaspoonful of bisurated Inagnesia,
probably the best and most effective
corrector of acid stomach known
should be taken in a quarter of q
glass Of hot or cold water Immediate
ly after eating, or whenever wind or
acidity is felt. This stops the fer
Ementation, and neutralizes the acidity
in q few moments. Fermentation,
wind and acidity are dangerous and
unnecessary Stop or prevent them
by the use of proper antacid, such
as bisurated magnesia, which can be
obtained from any druggist and thus
enable the stomach to do its work
properly without being hindered by
poisonous gas and dangerous acids

The chief Characterization of the

On Thursday morning were the adj
dresses Of Ira d. Jaynes, superinten-
dent Of recreation, Detroit, on
Public Recreation, and American
ization," by Frank c. Cody, assistant
superintendent of Detroit schools.
Mr.. Jaynes said, Recreation is at
the present time the ivest civic
problep of the age Every boy and
girl, every man and woman should
have q place to play and to bask in
the sun. In your hands, right or
wrong, lies the deucation Of the next
generation. The progress Of the
race will move no faster than your
less intelligent sisters, who care
nothing for the social development
of the country. The play ground,
the social center is to be the last
Stamping ground of democracy. Our
boys and girls are using their leisure
time badly. Sixty-nine per cent are
practically doing nothing that counts.
Seventy-nine per cent of our children
who get into trouble are not really
bad but have no legitimate manner
in which to express their energy. We
have made it a crime for children to
work, but have done nothing to pro-
vide for their leisure hours.
Mr.. Cody then told US what the
night schools Of the large cities are
doing to Americanize the foreigner.
"Men are easily reached, for their
business demands that they know
English" he said, land in many
plants promotion depends upon
whether or not men take advantage
of night school. In conclusion ne
urged that citizenship classes should
be conducted and women urged to be-
come citizens as well as men,"

SCIENTISTS CASE
WAS REVERSED

Four years ago a Christian Science
practitioner in New York was con-
victed of the illegal practice of medi-
cine and fined 500. Since 1912 the
Scientist has fought the case, and
now the Court of Appeals at Albany
has reversed the conviction and or
dered new trial, holding that, while
the practice Of healing by Christian
Science would come within the defini-
ton Of medical practice, the statute
specifically exempts those who in the
treatment of bodily ills follow out
the tenets of any religion. Christian
Science practitioners are protected by
this exemption, according to the de-
cision. The lower court had held it
no excuse that the defendant had
acted from sense of duty, or in the
practice of a religious tenet of the
Christian Science church. The APP
pellate Court holds that error was
made in so charging the jury. One
Of the judges (Bartlett) goes furth-
err. In a memorandum supplement-
ing the general opinion he denies
the power of the legislature to make
it crime to treat disease by prayer.
Judge Chase, who wrote the opin-
ion granting a new trial, had said
that it could not be regarded as
crime of itself to treat disease by
such method.

FIRE BROKE OUT
IN THE URCH HOME

The house of Morris Urch at 203
East Ann street was discovered on
fire Thursday afternoon and an
alarm turned which brought out the
fire department.
Neighbors of Mr.. Urch saw flames
and smoke issuing from the roof and
notified the family, who had not dis
covered it. The fire company were
soon on the spot and found that the
fire under the roof had made good
Roadway. Several holes were chop
ped through in order to let in the
water from the hose and the blaze
was soon extinguished. 1t is thought
the fire started from a defective
chimney. Much damage was done
by water to the household goods and
caused the family great inconveni-
ence. The building and contents
were insured in the Wagner agency
and the loss, which is estimated at
about 5000, is fully covered. Mr..
Urch is getting the wreckage
Strengthened out and will soon be at
