Stomach Troubles
Due to Acidity
SAYS NEW YORK PHYSICIAN

A well-known New York physician In
speaking OF dyspepsia and Its proper treat
ment says that so-called stomach troubles
such as indigestion. wind, stonac n ache and
Inability to retain food. are In probably nine
cases out OF ten simply evidences that fer
mentation is taking place in the food con-
tents OF the stomach, causing the formation
OF gas and acids. Wind distends tho stom-
ach, and causes that full. oppressive feeling
sometimes known as heartburn. while the
acid irritates and lnfames the delicate lining
OF the stomach. The trouble lies largely in
the fermenting food, causing the formation
Of excess acid. Such fermentation Is un-
natural, and many involve most serious con-
sequences II not corrected.
To stop or prevent fermentation Of the food
contents Of the stomach and TO neutralize the
dangerous acid and make 1t harmless a tea
spoonful Of bisurated magnesia, probably the
best and most effective corrector of acid
known. should be taken In a quarter Of a
glass Of hot or cold water immedia tely altar

This stops the fermentation. sweetens tho
stomach contents and neutralizes the acidity
In few moments. Ferme ntation, wind and
acidity are dangerous and unnecessary. Stop
or prevent them by the use OF a proper
antacid, such as bisurated magnesia, which
can be obtained from any druggist, and thus
enable the stomach 20 do Its work properly
without being hindered by poisonous gas and
dangerous aeids.-Advt.

The limits OF the District Of Co
lumbia extend to the high water mark
of the Potomac river in Virginia. JUS
tice Stafford decided yesterday In
ruling that the local courts had jur-
isdiction to hear the ejectment suit
brought by the Government against

The Government brought the suit to
GUST the railway company from occu-
southern end OF Alexandria. known as
ARTERY Cove. The Jurisdiction Of the
District court was attacked. on the
ground that the property was In Vir-
ginia and outside the power Of the
District. Justice Stafford disagreed
with this contention.

Picture patrons might say they

30 far as they were concerned. be-
cause there have been a number of
plays produced that had but one
person in them to whom the patron
paid attention or wanted to see.
But this case Is different. This Is

The announcement OF the revolu-
tionary character Of the newest
Chaplin film has created consider
able comment throughout the coun-
try among film men. 1t Is built
along a totally new idea. Chaplin
has been anxious to produce such a
Aim for long time, but has had ar
nculty in persuading his managers
that feature of this sort would
be feasible or acceptable.
Throughout the two reels OF the
film there is but one character-that

and goes into the wrong house. his
adventures in this house. where he
meets nobody and sees nobody. fur

Uses No Makeup Aids.
The departure from accepted mo-
ton picture standards Is emphasized
by the fact that Chaplin appears
without the customary makeup aids
Of large feet and loose-minded
trousers. He Is dressed modestly.
as wealthy young man would be
dressed. in ordinary evening clothes.
He does wear the inevitable Chaplin
mustache. Aside from this there Is
nothing that has been stamped as
Chaplinesque.
II will be recalled that II was In
just such a character as this that
Chaplin appeared in person In Wash
ington some three years ago at the
Cosmos Theater in vaudeville
sketch called "a Night in a London
Music Hail."
The production Of this Aim has
created considerable comment among
the Aim producers throughout the
country and they are watching with
interest what will happen when II Is
exhibited before the public. They
have all hesitated about putting out
such stun before. 1t will be re-
called that some of the best known
monologists OF the stage have been
recruited for pictures. but they have
always been seen in a regular photo
play.
Bert Williams. the comedian OF

instead of his usual monologue. 1t
would seem-if the Chaplin expert

Chaplin and Williams. One and two

come regular productions.
