Try Magnesia For

vents Food Fermentation.


vents Food Fermentation.
Doubtless, II you are sufferer from
indigestion, you have already tried pep
sin, bismuth, soda charcoal, drugs and
various digestive aids and you know
these things will not cure your trouble
in some cases do not even give relief.
But before giving up hope and deciding
you are chronic dyspeptic just try the
effect Of little magnesia-not the ordi-
nary carbonate. citrate, oxide or milk
but the pure BISURATED magnesia
which you can obtain from practically
any druggist in either powdered or tablet
form. Take teaspoonful Of the powder
or two compressed tablets with little
water after your next meal. and see what
a difference this makes. It will instantly
neutralize the dangerous, harmful acid In
your stomach which now causes your
food to ferment and sour, making gas,
wind, latulence, heartburn and the bloat-
ed or heavy, lumpy feeling that seems to
follow most everything you eat.
You will find that, provided you take a
little BISURATED magnesia Immediately
after a meal, you can eat almost any
thing and enjoy 1t without any danger of
pain or discomfort to follow and more
over the continued use Of the BISURAT-
ED magnesia cannot inJure the stomach
in any way so long as there are any
symptoms of acid indigestion.-Adv.

PREDICTS YEAR MORE OF WAR.
Financial Editor Finds Allies ResO-
lutte and Germany Prepared.
(New York SUM-

Paul Mack Whelan, editor of the
Odd Lot Review, a financial publica-
ton formerly owned by John Muir &
Co., who has recently returned from
tour OF Europe in which he studied
the attitude OF the bclligerent coun-
tries toward a speedy peace, has
reached the conclusion that the war
will continue for considerable time,
a year at least.
His observations, published in the
Odd Lot Review, give the feeling in
each of the principal countries. He
points out that the allies are deter
mined to crush Germany, which still
has enormous resources from which
to draw. His conclusions may be
summed up as follows:
In Great Britain the government
and people realize that peace leav-
ing the dominant party in Germany
still in existence would mean only a
postponement Of the conflict, whic h
later might be resumed with Great
Britain alone.
In Russia, which now has the best
equipped army in her history, the
ruling class realizes that nothing but
complete victory will prevent a
revolution.
France realizes her ability to pro-
tect herself from Germany and could
probably secure the restoration Of
Alsace and other pieces of her terri
tory held by Germany
Italy. which broke away from the
triple alliance. wishes Gcnmany de.
prived Of offensive power. She is
making money from exports Of NUM-
tionS.
Germany would like to have peace
but hopes to persuade one or more
Of the leading allied nations to quit
permitting her to make a peace salts
factory to her self-respect. Hel
financial condition is poor, owing to
the issuance Of paper money. She
has enough food, though not of great
variety, to support her people for
years. The scarcity Of men is be.
ginning to be felt, although her army
is splendidly equipped.

Remedies .Or "ChiggerS."

Washington, June 17.---If bath
ia hot water. or in water containing
salt or strong soap, is taken within
few hours after exposure in shrub
berry and weeds infested with "chig-
gers or "red bugs" no i'll effects
will be experienced. After long eS-
posure, however. a bath has practi-
cally no effect, and direct remedies
are necessary.
After irritation has set in, and
small red spots appear, the applica-
ton of a moderately strong solution
Of ammonia to the affected parts is
recommended by the entomologists
OF the Department Of Agriculture. A
supersaturated solution of bicarbon-
ate Of soda, or common cooking soda
or saleratus. will afford relief. Lib
cral applications should be made un-
til the irritation subsidies. If the
suffering is severe. a dilute ticture
OF iodine or collodion should be
lightly applied.

DEMANDS APOLOGY OF AUSTRIA.
Austrian Note Regarded as Insult to
American Flag.

Washington, June 29.-The Amer
lean rej0inder to Austria regarding
the Austrian submarine attack on the
steamer Petrolite, made public to-
day by the State Department, de-
scribes the act as "deliberate insult
to the flag Of the United States and
an invasion Of the rights of Ameri-
can citizens" and requests prompt
apology, punishment Of the subma-
rine commander and payment of an
indemnity.
In vigorous language the commu-
nicati0n, sent week ago to-day,
makes 1t clear that the United States
government believes the facts of the
case entirely different from what the
Austrian submarine commander re-
ported them to be and that immedi-
ate amends are expected.
The Austrian claim that the Pc
tr0lite's captain voluntarily gave up
supplies taken from the steamer by
the submarine commander is fatty
contradicited, as are the claims that
warning shots were fred across the
PctrOlite's bow before she was she'll
ed and that her appearance was such
as to justify the submarine command
er in mistaking her for cruiser.
The attack on the Petrolite, a
Standard Oil tanker, was made in the
Mediterranean December s. A. pro-
test sent soon afterward on prelimi-
nary reports from the tanker's cap
tain and crew brought the Austrian
communication to which the new
American note replies.

4 Towns Best Advertising.


"A town without flies Is the best
advertising town can have" said
business man the other day. And
when he was asked why he thought
so, he replied: There are sevetal
reasons: First, everybody knows that
a town without flies is a clean town,
a healthful town, where health mat
ters receive due attention. You
would expect to find in it clean
streets aud alleys, clean food shops
and markets, and clean grocery
stores and restaurants. 1t is where
you would feel easy to sit down and
eat without feeling suspicious about
the food that is served you.
"In the second place, it is a town
that has no filthy, hy-breeding STA
bles and open surface closets. 1t tax =
care Of it's sewage and garbage and
deems the health Of its citizens worth
protecting. For this reason you feel
like such a town is a good place in
which to live.
''In the third place, it would be Il
town practically free from typhoid
fever, infantile diseases, cholera an |
other ly-borne diseases, to say moth
ing Of other improved health condi-
tiOns and the comforts brought about
by cleanliness and the absence Of
flies"
But how are you going to have
hylcss town." the speaker was
asked. ''By going after the stables
first, said he. and then by cleaning
up the rest Of the town and keeping
it clean. To afford flies no place to
breed said the speaker, ",s the
only way not to have flies. Towns
that have succeeded in controlling
the fly menace went straight for the
| stables first and then for the open
closets and other dirty places where
| flies find breeding places. DR.. l.. NJ.
Mccormick. the hy-tighter Of Ashe-
Vile. says: There Is no royal road
| to freedom from flies, but CLEAN
UP and KEEP CLEAN is the win
ming slogan

COST OF EUROPEAN WAR.
At Every Tick OF the Watch Over u
Thousand Dollars Is Spent.
tNew York Special TO Charlotte OBJ
SerYer.)

tNew York Special to Charlotte OBJ
server.)
Every time the second hand of
your watch ticks, the war has cost
the warning nations Of Europe some
thing over .041. 1t is costing them
9.75D,000 an hour, $40 100000 a
day, and 650,0OO,000 a week.
BY August | next, whs1 the sec
ond year Of the war will have ended,
the gigantic conflict will have cost
$45, 900, 1000. These figures are
presented in a special boo xlet on the
war which the Mechanics and Metals
National Bank of New York city will
issue this month.
According to the banks figures, if
warfare lasts until August 1, it will
have cost Great Britain $11,6OO,-
100000. The cost to Germany will
have been bit less than that and the
figures for France will have been
$9,250, 1000. The total military
expenditure Of the warning nations
for the first year of the conflict was
$4,000, 100000. For the second
year it will be $4,000 100000.
The aggregate of these amounts,
three times greater than the entire
capitalization OF the railways Of the
United States and four times greater
than the total deposits Of all our ma
tional banks.
Two years Of the war will have
cost six times more than our Civil
War, forty times more than the
amount Of the national indebtedness
OF this country and 120 times more
than the cost OF the Panama Canal.
According to the computations made
by the banks statistician Great Bri-
tain's war expenditures are now $780,
100000 day. The daily war cost
to France is $4,000, 1000 and to Rus
sia 100000. 1t costs the Ger
mamie allies about half what it costs
the entente allies.
Discussing loans, the booklet says
that loans of a permanent character
made by the entente reached a total
OF more than $4,000, 100000, while
Germany and Austria borrowed $l1,-
100000, 900. Large as these sums
were, they financed little more than
onc-half the cost OF the war, 500
100000, 600 having been obtained by
temporary financing, taxation, issu-
ahcc or paper money and other eXpe-
dientS. Thus at the same time that
formal war loans offered to the peO-
Plt nave Sohc DcHOHd any cfedlt ODe-
rationS known before, the money
markets have been resorted to on a
scale surprising all precedent and re-
sources OF the central banks Of the
warning nations have been drawn
upon to a large degree.
The financing thus far has been ac-
complishcd with comparative ease
and without violently affecting rates
in the money markets. Means to reg
ulatc these markets have been found
both in tho issuance Of paper money
and in the elimination OF all indus
trial financing that might be compet-
tive with government loans.

Glue Method of InOculating Seed.

Coating the seed Of legumes with
inoculatcd soil before planting is a
simple method Of insuring soil inoc-
ulation at Slight cost. County DEM
onstmtion agents have found ordi-
nary furniture glue effective in hold
ing PARTICLES OF inoculated soil to the
seeds. This method gives each indi-
vidual seed some OF the particles Of
inoculated soil which it carries with
it when it is planted. The scheme
requires but a small amount Of moe
ulated soil and costs but a few cents
an acre. This method is described in
Farmers Bulletin 704 OF the United
States Department OF Agriculture as
follows:
"Dissolve two handfuls Of furni-
ture glue for every gallon OF boiling
water and allow the solution to cool.
Put the seed in a waShtub and then
sprinkle enough OF the solution on
the seed to mOiStcn, but not to wet it,
tl quart per bushcl is sufficiently
and stir the mixture thoroughly un-
Ill all the seed are moistencd.
Secure the inoculated soil from a
place whore the same kind Of plants
rs the seed are growing, making sure
that the roots have q vigorous devel-
Opmcnt OF nodules. Dry the soil in
the shade, preferably in the barn or
basement and pulveriZe it thoroughly
into dust. Scatter this dust over
the moistened seed, using from onc7
half to one gallon Of dirt for each
buShel Of seed, mixing thoroughly
until the seed no longer stick to-
gethcr. The seed are then ready to
SOW"

THE OLD ARGYLE STILL.
Negro Workman Says IIe Worked in
Still Thirty Years Ago.
(Spartanburg IIerald.) }

WOrkmen, while digging in the
basement OF the old Argyle Hotel
building recently, unearthcd two
rusty pipes and after following
them TO the end, found what Will
liam Dickinson, a negro workman,
declared to be still. The large
copper tank, Of about 500 gallons
capacity, was buried in the earth
and apparently had been there for
years. A wall had been built over
the tank and If the plans Of remodel
ing the building had not required
the removal OF the wall. the tank
would probably have not been
found.
william Dickinson. q negro S2
years Of age, stated that he had
worked around the still when it was
in operation 80 years ago. Tie said
that the liquor was drawn of
through tho pipes, which were first
discovered, and was sold on the spot.
William stated that he was from
North Carolina and had helped
around still all his life when he
came to this city to help with the
still in question.
The tank was discovered in the
rear Of the Argyle building, near
Broad street. The pipes ran toward
the front OF the building, and, frcn
their size, were capable Of carrying
quite a stream Of booze If they were
really used for that purpose. Work
Of removing the vessel will probably
be concluded and the junk sold
When discovered the tank was filled
with water.
