TOrpedOed Dutch Vessel
Is Sinking; Passengers Safe
BN Assoctattd PresS

London, March ia Reuter- dis
patch from the Hook of Holland says
that a wireless message has been re-
ceived there stating that the large
Dutch passenger steamship Tubantia,
outward bound from Amsterdam to
the river Plate, has been torpedoed
and is in sinking condition near the
Noordhinder lightship. All the pas
sengers have been taken off on boats.
The London agents of the steamship
Tubantia which is owned by the Hol-
land Lloyd of Amsterdam, have re-
ceived a message saying the vessel
struck a mine and is sinking. An
other dispatch says the Tubantia was
torpedoed.
The steamship. which is of 10. 900
tons gross, left Amsterdam yesterday
for Buenos Aires for a general cargo.
She was to have stopped at Falmouth
and peninsular ports, where the ma
Jority of the passengers were TO have
been taken aboard.
A llfe-saving boat has left the Hook
of Holland to search for the sinking
vessel and Dutch torpedoboats are
leaving Flushing to hurry to the res
cue of the ships passengers in the
lifeboats.
The Tubantia is $40 feet long and
65 feet beam. She left Buenos Aires
on February for Amsterdam.

In brief, this is the opinion of Cap
tain Baird Halberstadt, mining engi-

answer to-day to the request of the
County Commissioners for an approxi-
mate estimate OF the cost of complet-
ing proper coal land tax survey.
IF the duplicate tax books are re-
quired to be in hands of the collectors
by April l." writes Captain Halber-
stadt. ''the time is too short to make
anything like an accurate estimate of
the values of these lands. In order to
make an appraisement of the values, a

ACID STOMACHS
ARE DANGEROUS
ACH TROUBLE DUE TO
ACIDITY.
Says New York Physician.

A Kew York Physician who has
made a special study of stomach
and intestinal diseases says that
nearly all intestinal troubles, as
well as many diseases of the vital
organs, are directly traceable to
a deranged condition of the
stomach. This in turn is due
about nine times out of ten to en-
cessive acidity, commonly termed
sour stomach or heartburn, which
not only irritates and inflames
the delicate lining of the stom-
ach but may cause gastritis and
dangerous stomach ulcers. It is
interesting to note, that he can
dennis the use of patent medi-
cines, and practically all medical
treatment that is designed to act
upon the stomach lining, stating
that the best results are obtained
by the use of a simple antacid
which acts upon the contents of
the stomach and neutralizes the
acidity of the food thus remov-
ing the source of the trouble. As
an antacid he prescribes ordin-
airy bisurated magnesia. He con-
tends that it is as foolish to treat
the stomach itself as it would he
for a man who stepped on a tack
to rub liniment on the foot with
out first removing the tack. Re-
move the tack and the foot will
heal itself--neutralize the acid
and the stomach troubles will dis
appear. Irritating medicines and
medical treatments are useless, SO
long as the contents of the stom-
ach remains acid; remove the
acidity and there will be no need
for medicine--the inflamed lin
ing of the stomach will then heal
itself. Sufferers from acidity,
sour stomach and heartburn
should get a small bottle of bisur-
ated magnesia from their drug
gfst, and take a teaspoonful in a
quarter of a glass of hot or cold
water after each meal, repeating
in fifteen minutes, If necessary,
this being the dose which the
doctor has found most efficaeious
