Have Stomach Trouble
NEW YORK SPECIALIST ADVISES
WHAT TO EAT TO AVOID
INDIGESTION

A well knowa physician recently
made the startling statement that a
careful estimate shows that fully so
per cent. of our population are sufferers
in some degree from dyspepsia or acid
indigestion. The chief trouble states
the doctor, is that the public does not
accept this condition with sufficient Sc
riousness. IF 80 per cent of the people
in your city" he continues, had just
been exposed to smallpox the whole city
would be paniC-stricken. Yet such eX
posure probably would not cause nearly
as much misery as might be caused, in
time by complications arising from the
mild cases of dyspepsia that are being
neglected right at this minute. Our
stomachs, as we grow older, secrete too
much acid which prevents the proper
digestion of food. Bloating, belching,
sourness, or heavy lumpy feeling fol-
for forcing the sour. burning food con-
tents of our acid stomachs into the in
testines by means of some pepstn pill or
other artificial digestent. This process
means that we fail to get proper nour-
ishment and strength from our .mDrop-
crly dgested food and in time will so
weaken the stomach that the irritated
and intlamed stomach, tortured beyond
endurance will stretch or dilate or
falling of the stomach may occur.
Dangerous stomach ulcers which so
often lead to cancer are nearly always
accompanied by stomach acidity,
should have daiIv is bisurated ma .rne
sia, teaspoonful of which taken in
quarter glass OF hot or cold water after
meals. would quickly end probably
nine-tenths of the stomach trouble that
now exists in this city. From my eN-
perience l should say that bisurated
magnesia should be on every dining
table just like salt, pepper and sugar,
for use after meals. We use these lat
ter to make our food more acCepta BILE
to the palate. Equally then should we
use bisurated magnesia to make our
food more acceptable to the stomach, to
sweeten the stomach and instantly neu-
traliZe or dissolve all the excess acid.
My advice to stomach sufferers is to
avoid freak diets, keep right on eating
nutritious foods even Tough they have
not always IN the past agreed with you
but to make it a regular practice to take
a little bisursted magnesia in water
after meals. This advice when faith
fully followed almost invariably will
put an end to indigestion and add one
more member to the happy family of
normal painless digestion. The pure
bisurated magnesia which differs from
all other forms of prepared magnesia,
with which 1t is occasionally confused
can be obtained in sealed glass bottles
from any leading druggist m the city
or vicinity.-Advertisem

Conferees Resume Meeting
in General ScOtt's Car With
Hope of Settlement

El Paso. Texas, May II. - Negotia-
tions looking toward a settlement of
the American Mexican military ques-
tions were resumed at ten o'clock this
morning.
The conference was attended by
Major Generals Hugh l.. Scott and
Frederick Funston, representing the
United States, and General Alvaro
ObreEon, minister of war of the de
facto government and Juan n. ANA
dor, subsecretary of foreign affairs in
Mexico. The conference which may
be the last was held in General Scott's
private car.
General Funston desires to
strengthen the border patrol by
mounting two thousand infantrymen
on Texas ponies.
Upon General Obregon depends to-
day the outcome of the negotiations
between him and Generals Scott and
Funston some days ago. Unless he
signs the agreement entered into by
him and General Scott or is prepared
to make radical concessions, il ap-
peared probable that the American
representatives would indicate to
Washington the uselessness of further
parleys.
American consuls, under their
original instructions to warn Amer
leans from Mexico were authorized to
leave their posts and return TO the
United States if they deem it neces-
sary for their safety. Under the in
structions they are to use their own
discretion and not await specific
orders from the department.
