Acid Stomachs
Are Dangerous
Nine-tenths of All Stomach Trouble
Due to Acidity. Says New York
Physician.

well-knowp New York physician
who has made a special study of storn-
ach and intestinal diseases recently
made the startling statement that
nearly all intestinal trouble, as well as
many diseases OF the vital organs, are
directly traCeable to excessive stomach
acidity, commonly termed sour stomach
or heartburR, which not only irritates
and inflames the delicate lining of the
stomach, but may often cause gastritis
and dangerous stomach ulcers.
Neglect. he says, easily leads to a
chronic super-acidity, commonly mis-
taken for indigestion. and is the prin-
cipal cause for the indiscriminate swal-
digestive aids which bring only tenn
porary and false relief
In an acid condition Of the stomach
no artificial disestants whatever should
be employed, as these are likely to
merely pass the sour, burning acid on
into the intestines, causing serious
trouble there. Instead, he recommends
the use OF some simple, harmless and
inexpensive antacid such as a teaspoon
full Of bisurated magnesia, taken with
a little hot or cold water right after
meals or whenever distress is felt.
This simple remedy in Just a few
seconds from its entering the stomach
neutraliZes or sweetens all it's sour acid
contents. Dissolve the dangerous acid
ity and there will be no need for medi-
cine, as all symptoms O.: indigestion
will promptly cease Sufferers from
aciditv. sour stomach or indigestion
should get a few ounces Of the pure
biSurated magnesla from their druggist
and give this treatment a trial. In
view, however Of the many varieties
stomach sufferers should be careful to
get II only in the bisur2ted form (either
powder or tablets) and in a sealed
package to insure its purity.-Adv~

SKIN FROM BODY
TO GIRLS SCALP
Doctor to Repeat Successful
Operation of Four
Years Ago.

Miss Virginia Weldon. 8, who was
scalped by having her hair caught In q
revolving motor boat shaft Just after
rescue from drowning IN the Potomac
River near Occoquan Bay on Sunday aft
ernoon, will be treated by DR.. Charles
Stanley White, the physician who saved
Miss Alice Houghton. victim of a similar
critical condition at the George Wash
ington University Hospital, where she was
taken yesterday morning.
An examination made by Dr. White
yesterday showed that the scalp had been
completely torn OF from the back Of the
neck to the eyebrows. He will follow
the same method OF treatment that he
used in Miss Houghton's case, grating
skin from the girls own body. He turned
down numerous offers OF skin from the
girls friends, as grating of other skin
was tried in the Houghton case and found
unsuccessful
II the patient responds to the treat
ment il will be at least two years before
she can be called permanently recovered.
1t is expected that a long struggle for life
will be waged, and in event of recovery
the girl will be disfgured for life.
The case of Miss Houghton four years
ago was the first of its kind in the
country to be treated successfully, and
Dr.. White believes that he can make
the skin grating complete in the case
of Miss Weldon as he did for Miss
Houghton.
Both accidents were similar each be-
ing caused by the loosened hair being
caught in a revolving mechanism. Miss
Houghton was scalped by an electric
adding machine in the Census Bureau.
Miss Weedon's accident happened Sum-
day afternoon. She was in swimming
and became endangered by the undertow
OF the river. Fred woodward in a motor
boat rescued her. and when she was lifted
into the boat, unconscious, with her hair
disarranged, her hair was caught in the
whlrling power shaft. Immediately after
the accident, the patient was taken in
the motorboat thirty miles to Washing
ton. Miss Weldon Is the daughter of
Mrs. Hood Weldon, OF occoquan, Va.

MILITIA NEARLY
READY TO MOVE
Exchange of Condemned
Equipment for New All that
Delays Departure.

Although the War Department orders
for the District troops 10 move as soon
As equipped had not been received up
to q late hour last night, Capt. Horace
Hobbs, mastering officer. said that he
expected to recommend to Maj. Gen.
Leonard Wood on Wednesday or Thurs
day that the troops be started for Bis
bee the latter part Of the week This
means that the Third Infantry, Battery
A and Troop A will probably be moved
on either Saturday or Monday.
Even II the new orders are not re-
reived, the troops can now be sent to
the border as every organization is up
to or above minimum strength. The
Third Infantry, due to brisk recruiting,
has about 500 serviceabIe men, and ex-
poets many more in the few days in
tervening before departure.
The exchange Of condemned equipment
for new is now delaying the regiment,
and prevented Capt. Hobbs from re-
porting it ready last night. An oficer
from the inspector generals office will
check the condemned articles today, and
Capt W. H. Chase. OF the Supply Com
pany, will Immediately draw the new
equipment from the storehouses at Fort
Myer and issue it to the companies.
When this is done Capt Hobbs will
send the telegram to Governors Island
that will bring the moving orders. The
railroads viii then require three days
notice before the troos can be moved
Troop A has not yet received the minor
pieces OF horse equipment that Is delay
ing It, but il Is making rapid strides tc
reach war strength Of eighty-eight men.
Six recruits were secured yesterday, and
the troop totals eighty men. Capt ].
H. Washburn hopes that the command
will leave at war strength.
