DySpeptics Should
Avoid Drugs and
Medicines
Try a Little Magnesia Instead.

- l4hvtAO Wing h0Sla lnSUf1us
Some people instinctively shut
their eyes to danger, and 1t may
be that instinct, or custom or
habit causes dyspeptics to take
drugs, patent foods and medi-
cines. artificial digestents, etc.
But closing the eyes does not
Danish the danger, and 1t is GER
tain that neither drugs nor medi-
cines possess the power to destroy
the harmful excessive acid in the
stomach, which is the underlying
cause Of most forms of indigestion
and dyspepsia. They may give
temporary relief, but ever in
creasing quantities must be
taken, and all the time the acid
remains in the stomach as dan
gerous as ever.
Physicians know this, and that
is why their advice so often to
sufferers from digestive and
stomach trouble is lust get
about an ounce of pure bisurated
magnesia from your druggist and
take q teaspoonful in a little wa
ter Immediately after every meal.
This will instantly neutralize all
the harmful acid in the stomach
and stop all food fermentation,
thus enabling you to enjoy hearty
meals without experiencing the
least pain or unpleasantness aft
srward.

OF
THREATS
in FEUD

The bitterness of the North
River feud, in which guns we're
carried and shots were fired to
scare off unwanted settlers, was
the things the government tried
to show by witnesses in. the trial
of the 13 alleged Pacific county
might riders" in the federal
court Thursday.
Evidence was offered to show
that long before the raid of Jan.
IL, 1914, when Mrs. Margaret
Ross and her two sons were driven
out of the country by emasked
might riders" threats had been
made that the settlers would have
to "get out"
w. A. Waters, one of the resi-
dents of the district, told of a
conversation he said he had as
early as 1912, with the defend
ant, John N. Howard, in which
Howard declared the Rosses
would have to get off their claim.
He also told of conversation
with the defendant Mike Hanra-
han, in which Hanrahan threat
ened that IL they touched foot
on his place ut would mean that
someone would go to the peni-
Tertiary for life."
George Wheaton, another wit
ness. testified Howard had OBJ
structed the public road that ran
through his property to prevent
the ROSES and their friends from
passing through.
Earlier in the day J.. F. Rogers.
an expert woodsman, gave testi-
mony to show that the Ross boys,
when they cut down the big tree
on the hillside, the day before the
might rider" raid, could not have
purposely cut it SO that 1t would
fall on the Vanderpool cabin, but
that the accident occurred merely
because the boys were unskilled
in telling trees.
