Stomach Troubles
Due To Acidity
SAYS NEW YORK PHYSICIAN

A weli-known New York physician in
speaking OF dyspepsia and its proper treat
ment Gays that so-callei stomach troubles
such as indigestion. wind. stomach-ache and
inability to retain food, are In probably nine
cases out Of ten simply evidence that fer
mentatlon u taking place In the food con-
tents OF the stomach. causing the formation
OF gas and acids. Wind distends the stom-
ach. and causes that full. oppressive feel
ing sometimes known as heartburn, while
tho acid irritates and innames the delicate
lining Of the stomach The trouble lies
largely in the fermentinE food, causing the
formation Of excess acid. Such fermenta-
tion is unnatural. and may involve most
serious consequences II not corrected.
To stop or prevent fermentation Of the
food contents OF the stomach and TO neutral
iZe the dangerous acid and make II harm
less, a teaspoonful OF blsurated magnesia
probably the best and most effective cor
rector Of acid stomach known. should be
taken in. quarter OF a glass OF hot or cold
water Immediately after eating. or whenever
wind or acidity IL felt. This stops the fer
mentation. sweetens the stomach contents.
and neutralizes the acidity in a few mo-
ments. Fermentation, wind, and acidity are
them by the use OF proper antacid, such
as bisurated magnesia. which can be OBJ
tained from any druggist, and thus enable
the stomach TO do its work properly with
out being hindered by poisonous gas and
dangerous acids.-Advt.

FISH CULTURIST

Beavers Like to Eat HFish
Not CulturinAs.

Sad IL the lot OF the fish eulturist IN

carious are his chances OF success.
Against the purposes OF the cuituriste

ietin OF the Fisheries service. Depart
ment OF Commerce. just Issued. the odds
are all with the bears.
IL happens this way, IL seems. The
eulturists in the early spring set traps
In the streams to catch the fish for
breeding purposes. The bears, hungry
from their long winters sleep. begin to
prowl around with an appetite that de-
mands huge meal with fish course
at the start. And thus laments one of
the fish culturists. writing TO the de-
partment:
"It was undoubtedly very picturesque
from an artistic standpoint to find traps
wrecked and partly eaton fish strewn
around over the banks and IN the bot
tom OF the stream. with q big shaggy
bear sitting on his launches. leaning
against a tree. and licking his chops,
with a seif-satisfied air OF peace and

bountiful meal Ali fish culturists are
not sprouting wings. and Mr.. and Mrs.
Bruln were treated to remarks regard
Ing themselves and their ancestry which
were decidedly lurld."

Smiling Away Appendicitis.

Specialists at Johns Hopkins uni
versity have joined the Keep on Smil-
ing" cult. "Worry, and you will get
a pain in the side" they say. Appen-
dicitis is the medical term for one kind
of pain in the side. These thoughtful
and inquiring doctors, indeed, have
reached the conclusion that mental de-
preston Is one of the most frequent
causes of appendicitis, since worry and
faulty mastication usually blend, and
boiling ones food leads directly to dis
order in the appendix. So they rec
ommend smiling and similar light
minded diversions.
The public in general welcomes such
admOnitions. For the public does not
particularly enjoy going TO a hospital
TO permit surgeon TO explore and re-
adjust it's interior appurtenances or
fixtures. Almost everyone would prefer
smiling away appendicitis to being
tinkered with and whitfield by busy
surgeon.
One suspects that there is great
deal of good sense in the Johns Hop
kins doctors free and wholesome adj
vice, which ought to be well digeSted
by everyone.

Some Mysteries of Turkish
Censorship Are Explained

In all letters from America the
Turkish censor seemed to take the
most personal interest, writes Arthur
Ruhl i'm Golfers. At the end Of one
letter of mine from New York he
wrote I'm pencil: "Please not so long.
Censor"
One day ! had the pleasure of meet
ing him, or at least that part of him
which handled English correspond
ence-an Oxford Turk who could
speak English as well as anybody.
Fancy" said he, "a woman takes a
donkey ride over In Anatolia some
where, and writes her husband sixteen
pages about It, Well, now, no one
could read that" So his young men
read the first page and the last, and
the rest they simply L ed out and
into the waste basket!
This explained it-thosG curious let
tiers people had been getting with a
start and finish and the rest all gone.
Imagine yourself, for instance, separat-
ed by five thousand miles and con-
tinent covered with war from those
you care about most and then getting
letter: II feel ii my duty TO
tell you the real truth. :"
then a gap and the conclusion: IF
you act at once, there may still be
time. Yours sincerely. :" 1t

" M No. ~seQ
Hosiery Hints.

Frequently when the feet seem
cramped, the blame is placed on the
defective shoe size; but 1t will be
found that in many instances the trou-
BILE lies in the wearing of too small
stocking.
The marking of sizes varies quite a
little on both stockings and shoes. A
safe rule to follow is TO patronize enc
shop when the latter has been found
reliable and the size called for is Meth
er too large nor too small, but is COM
Portable in every particular.
1t is a mistake TO wear footwear
that is too large, although the criti-
cism is usually against the adoption
OF small sizes. So much of the good
appearance and the comfort and happi-
mes OF women depends on the nice care
of the feet, that too much attention
cannot be bestowed on the pedal ex-
tremities.

Speeches. Wooer Not Popular
BY LAURA JEAN LlBBEY.

to be I'm her presence, holding her
hands. but speaking never a word TO
break the awkward silence.
The world would scarcely believe
that fully a third of all lovers carry
on their courtship in this manner.
Someone has somewhere said that
flowers have no need of words" but
from all learn from letters, or hear
about, the speechless .courtship is not
popular with womankind. They want
to hear something about the wedding
day-when they may expect II to roll
around, what the plans are for the
future. where they are TO live, IL his
folks are reconciled to the thought of
losing q son, even though they thereby
gain a daughter. and so on.
She silent, speeches. lover keeps
his sweetheart continually wondering
II he Is still as much In love with her
as he thought he was or IL he can be
regretting their betrothal and is TAX
ing this means Of causing her to weary
Of the bonds and suggest severing
them, ready to jump at the PROPOSE
ton, or II anything has transpired to
have changed his plans or prospects.
He is an enigma, a riddle she would
give much to solve. Sitting by the
hour In utter silence. holding hands,
will In time get upon the nerves OF
the most phlegmatic of women.
Such lovers are the kind who do
not think ii amiss to carry on this
manner of so-called courtship year
in and year out until the girls rela-
tives or friends consider Ii high time
to cause him to speak out and tell
what he intends to do.
Spirited women are more apt than
not to weary of such q companion
1t becomes a hard proposition TO them
to wonder If it would be best to stand
that sort of companionship for life OF
whether or not some other man might
prove more cOngenial. Speeches.
lovers mean well, no doubt, but they
should not be surprised If a more
agreeable man cuts hem out.

GETTING What He Deserves.

Nesting in q newspaper corner next
to the Panama-hat ads we find this
stray sunbeam of heart throb:
THE first face the baby sees I'm this
world Is full of kindness, and the last
to bend over him when he is old and
dying Is full of plying tenderness. IL
is the faces he sees In between that
cause him all his troubles.
This Is a dear sweet thought, but Ii
strikes US that the 'in between" faces
are looking at him and very likely re-
fiecting back to him just about what
they see. Quite often 1t is not either
kindness or tenderness, for, taking 1t
by and large. this is fairly just world
