RULES OF HEALTH
FOR DYSPEPT|CS
DIETING UNNECESSARY

There are two ways by which people
who suffer from indigestion, dyspepsia,
sour stomach. flatulence, etc, can over
come the trouble. First, as practically all
cases of the above are directly or in
directly traceabe to aCidity and fermen-
tation. they can eliminate from their diet
all foods which ferment and form acid,
such as all starches and sugar and foods
containing them. thus prohibiting bread,
potatoes, fruits and most meats. About
the only safe foods are gluten breads,
spinach and small quantities of white
meat of chicken or turkey. This diet is
almost starvation one, but it is some
times quite effective. The second way,
which appeals especially to those who
like to eat hearty meals of good foods is
to eat whatever is reasonably digestible
neutraliZe the acid and stop fermentation
by the use of good antacid such as bis
urated magneSia, a teaSpOonful of which
in little water Immediately after eating
or whenever pain is felt. instantly neu-
traliZes the acid, stops the fermentation
and permits the stomach to do its work
without pain or hindrance. Owing to it's
simplicity. convenience and effectiveness
this latter plan is now being adopted, IN
stead of the old fashioned, expensive,
weakening starvation process. In this
connection it is interesting to note that
since the widespread use of bisurated
magnesia was established, many drug
gists have arranged to supply it in sr
tablets or 3 of which are equivalent to I.
teaspoonful of the powder form and are
much more convenient to carry.-Adv.

Superintendent
Maine Schools Are
To Seek State Aid

Bar Harbor, Me-, June 1.-THE next
Maine Legislature will be asked to
take election of superintendent of
schools of towns and districts out of
the hands of the local committees and
give the appointments to the State
superintendent of schools if school
superintendent of this section have
their way. Nearly dozen of the lead
ing superintendent in the State have
failed Of reelection by their school
boards this spring, or have been quiet
ly given hints to seek other positions
This applies to some of the largest
districts in the State, and some of the
best salaried positions.
Many superintendent declare the
local committees never visit schools,
know little or nothing of what
is being done, and in some cases do
rot even know who the teachers, jani-
tors and other school employees are.
Vocational training, the junior High
school, increased salaries for teachers
and the consolidation Of scattered rural
schools have not been universally
popular measures, and superintendent
who have tried to bring them about
have found themselves jeopardizing
their positions
