The New Secretary of War

The selection Of Newton d. Baker
as Secretary Garrison's successor in
the War Department throws little

Mr.. Wilson's policy OF military reor-

Stomach Trouble
Due to Acidity

Stomach troubles such as indiges-
tion, wind and stomach-ache. are
simply evidence that fermentation is
taking place in the food contents of
the stomach, causing the formation of
gas and acids. Wind distends the
stomach and causes that full, oppres-
sive feeling sometimes known as
heartburn. while the acid irritates and
infames the delicate lining of the
stomach. The trouble lies entirely in
the fermenting food Such fermenta-
tion Is unnatural. and acid formation
is not only unnatural. but may in
volve most serious consequences if not
corrected. To stop or prevent fer
mentation and to neutralize the acid.
teaspoonful of bisurated magnesia
probably the best and most effective
corrector of acid stomach known.
should be taken in a quarter of a glass
of water Immediately after eating. or
whenever wind or acidity is felt. This
stops the fermentation, and neutral
ICES the acidity in a few moments.
Bisurated magnesia can be obtained
from any druggist. 1t enables the
stomach to do its work properly
without being hinGered by poisonous
gas and dangerous acids.
