Carranza Officials Now
Look With Less SkepticiSm
on Report of Villas Death
BY Associated Press

Washington, d. c., April 20.-Oh1-
cials were interested to-day in dis
patches from Mexico City that the
de facto government was now in
clined to look with less skepticism on
reports that Francisco Villas body had
been found. There were no official
messages to the State or War Depart
ments, however, bearing on the sub
ject.
A message to the Mexican embassy
last night and press reports said Gen
eral Obregon, the war minister, was
inclined to place confidence in reports
that a search party of two Mexican
officials and an American officer had
examined the grave. General Obregon
has been described previously as par
ticularly dubious about reports of
Villas death and If he has now
changed that view, officials feel he
must have new information.
The War Department is still un-
advised as to what has been happen
ing in the vicinity of Parral since the
attack upon the troopers there except
for a State Department dispatch re-
porting that the Carranza military
commander had made no objection to
a change in the location of the ad-
vance post nearest Parral.
A message received some days ago
that the expedition was showing the
effects of the hard chase; that men
ana horses were iaded and their shoes
worn out. Secretary Baker said, might
explain the silence. General Pershing
may be resting and re-equipping his
force and at the same time allowing
the situation as to the attitude of Car
rama garrisons toward the expedition
to develop.

What DySpeptics
Should Eat

Indigestion and practically all
forms of stomach trouble are, nine
times out of ten, due to acidity; there
fore stomach sufferers should, when
ever possible, avoid eating food that is
acid in it's nature or which by chemical
action In the stomach develops acidity
Those sufferers who have been obliged
TO exclude from their diet all starchy
sweet or fatty food, and are trying
to keep up q miserable existence on
gluten products. should try a meal of
any food or foods in moderate amount
taking Immediately afterwards a tea
spoonful of bisurated magnesia in a
little hot or cold water. This will
Icutrahze any excess acid which may
he present, or which may be formed
and instead of the usual feeling of
uneasiness and fullness, you will find
that your food agrees with you per-
fectly. Bisurated magnesia is doubt
less the best food corrective and ant
acid known. It has no direct action
on the stomach; but by neutralizing
the acidity of the food contents, and
shus removing the source of the acid
irritation which inflames the delicate
stomach lining, it does more than
could possibly be done by any drug
or medicine. Do not dose an inflamed
and irritated stomach with drugs but
get rid of the acid--the cause of all
the trouble. Get a little bisurated
magnesia from your druggist eat
what you want at your next meal, take
some of the bisurated magnesia as di-
rected above, and note remarkable re-
suits.
