GAS IN THE STOMACH
Is DANGEROUS
Physicians Recommend the Use Of
Maenesia for Quick Relief.

Sufferers from indigestion or dys-
pepsia should remember that the
presence of gas or wind in the stom-
ach invariably indicates that the stom-
ach is troubled by excessive acidity.
This acid causes the food to ferment
and the fermenting food in turn gives
rise to noxious gases which distend
the stomach, hamper the normal func-
tions of vital internal organs, cause
acute headaches, interfere with the
action of the heart, and charge the
blood stream with deadly poisons,
which in time must ruin the health.
Physicians say that to quickly dispel
a dangerous accumulation Of wind in
the stomach and to stop the food fer
mentation which creates the gas, the
acid in the stomach must be neutral
lied and tat for this purpose there
is nothing quite so good as teaspoon
full of pure bisurated maTnesia taken
in a little water Immediately after
meals. This instantly neutralizes the
acid, thus stopping fermentation and
the formation of gas. and enables the
inflamed, distended Astomach to pro-
coed with it's work und 1r natural con-
ditions. Bisurated magnesia is obtain
able in powder or tablet form from any
druggist; but as there are many diff
ferent forms of magnesia it is impoF-
tant that the bisurated which the ply
sicians prescribe should be distinctly
asked for4-AdT.

CONFIDENCE HELD
WAIRUNA WOULD
DRIFT TO LAND

Persistent hopes OF Reginald Back,
Sun Francisco agent CT the Union
Steamship Co.. that the missing Brit

thirty days overdue on her voyage
;r..;n Auckland. New Zealand. TO a
r,c,Cic coast port, would eventually

=, have been realized. If the report
'HIt tho ship had been located as
ca led to the Star-BulIet!r a few days
4 20 was correct.
Under the date Of J:ly &c, the San

ticle in which i u : said that Back
vas holding to the confident opinion
that the Wair'.ua WJi.!d finally drift to

;Htr agents belief was based upon
ID. hope that only the ships engines
EaL been disabled and that she had
net struck an uncharte' rock or
island, and would be carried by the
action of the ocean to land.
The Wairuna left Auckland May
81. She was never reported after she
steamed from Auckland, and among
shipping men slight hope is held that
she is still afloat, avs the Chronicle
story Back, however, insisted that
the vessel was drifting helplessly far
south of the line and hundreds OF
miles away from any steamer lane.
In her holds she had general cargo
with little that could be preached and
used for food for the men. Her reg
tar supply OF food would be only
enough for few days more than the
regular trip to the California coast,
where stores are ordinarily replen'
ished.
For weeks the regular steamers OF
the Oceanic line running to Sydney,
and the vessels of the same line as
the WairuEa, the Union Steamship
Company of New Zealand, have been
looking for her as they have kept on
their courses.
The Union Steamship Company has
lost two vessels within few months.
The Natal, with passengers, struck
the reef at Raratonga while bound
from San Francisco to Wellington last
Christmas day and was lost, and the
Francisco for Sydney
with freight-burned at sea early in
June. Her crew escaped.
Tes despatch to the Star Bulletin
did not state where the long overdue
Wa.runa finally made port. The Wal
runa had a crew Of 40 men and Off
GERS and was missing double the time
the usual voyage from New Zealand
to San Francisco takes. 1t is believed
that the crew must have had to sub
sist on rations which amounted to lit
tie more than nothing during her over
due period.

At the extreme left, before Steen-

Defenders Practically EStermtnated
Yesterday. the French troops oper

three thousand yards of trenches
practically exterminating the defend

midst of thick fog, through which
the French had to grope for their
objective. The trenches were taken
in a hand-to-hand fight, the poilus
swarming into the trenches almost
before the Germans knew they hal
been attacked.
Up until yesterday afternoon, five
thousand Germans, including men,

Amongst these are hundreds of school
