The Best Thing
For Dyspepsia
WHY PEPSlN, PANCREATlN, ETC.,
so FREQUENTLY FAIL.

An international specialist whose arti-
cies on stomach trouble have been print
ed in nearly every language. recently
stated that to treat the average case of
stomach trouble, Indigestion. dyspepsia,
etc, by doctoring the stomach, killing the
pam with opiates, or by the use of arti-
hcial aids to digestion such as pepsin and
pancreatin, was just as foolish and USE
less as to attempt to put out fire by
throwing water on the smoke, instead of
the fire. He claims. and facts seem to
justify his claim, that nearly nine-tenths
of all stomach trouble is due to acidity
and food fermentation; and that the only
way in which to secure permanent RELIEF
is TO get rid of the cause /. e. to neutral
ize the acid and stop the fermentation.
FOR this purpose he strongly recommends
the plan now generally adopted through
out Europe of taking a teaspoonful Of
ordinary bisurated magnesia in a little
water Immediately after eating or when
ever pain is felt. This Immediately neu-
traiizes the acid, stops the fermentation
and permits the stomach to do its work
IN normal manner and thus by removing
the cause, enables nature to quickly re-
store the inf1amed stomach lining to a
perfectly healthy natural condition. For
the convenience of travellers 1t may be
noted that most druggists are now able
to supply bisurated magnesia in 5 grain
tablets. or 8 of which will almost In
stantly relieve the most violent attacks OF

TEAR DOWN WOODEN FENCES.
Health Commissioner Says They Arc
Cause of Much Sickness.

! Get rid of wooden fences and you will
help get rid of rats, flies and mosqul'

commissioner of Baltimore. DR.. Blake
believes that much disease and sickness
is brought about by the wooden fence.
First of all the wooden fence is an
obstruction to proper supervision OF the
premises of the police" the commits
sioner said. The presence of rubbish
stagnant pools and other insanitaTF
conditions in yards cannot be detected
by the police or health officials so long
as they are hidden by wooden fences
The back fence is an excellent hiding
place for burglars and tramps at night
If a burglar manages to jump the fence
he can take his time getting into the
house. There is no need for him 10
hurry, as the fence keeps any one from
seeing him.
The wooden fence prevents the
proper circulation of air. Persons lE'
ing in houses surrounded by high wood
en- fences do not get the real benefits o,
pure. fresh air. This is detrimental 70

with disease we must eXtermlnate
these. The dilapidated wooden fence
attracts bugs of all descriptions Rats
gnaw at the wood and dig holes under
and around it. These holes becons
filed with water and in time are exce'
lent breeding places for flies and mos
quitoes.
The fact that the wooden fence NOES
all this dirt and filth is a powerful ar
gument why it should be done away
with. What woman would allow art
garbage and other refuse matter to COZ

The work of Raymond Giroux, marshal
of the races, has been one of the feat
ures of the week. He has has the horses
out promptly and has done his share in
getting the races off rapidly and in MAX
ing them a success.
Owing to the threatened strike on the
railroads. the bars were let down some
what on the exhibitors getting away and
before noon many of the exhibits were
being packed up and they left the grounds
rapidly during the afternoon. The L., A.
& w. St. Ry. had several freight cars at
Che grounds and these We're being loaded
rapidly with exhibits for the Lewiston
fair.
The light fingered gentry. commonly
known as pickpockets, had a hard week
of it. Very few cases of pocket picking
were reported. This was due largely to
the efficient work of City Marshal Rob
inson and his officers. A number of off,
GERS in plain clothes were at the grounds
each day and they were assisted by the
regular officers in uniform in keeping
an exceptionally close watch on the
crowd. Marshal Robinson and the 20
lice department deserve great credit for
the thoroughly efficient way in which
they have handled the crowds during the
week, both in town and at the fair
grounds.
There was not much doing on the Mid
way Friday and the majority of the bust
ness men packed up early and started
for other sections. The diving girls put
on show or two and the big merry-go-
round did fair business during the day.
but the majority of the other attractions
did very little. Practically all of them
