It is usually brought on by eating too
rapidly or too much, or of food not
suited to your digestive organs If you
will eat slowly. masticate your food
thoroughly, eat but little meat and
none at all for supper you will more
than likely avoid the sour stomach

DvlNsk is STRATEGIC POINT
One Of Russia'a Best Fortified Cities,
Now Ptorinent on the Russo-oer-
man Firing Line.

Dvinsk, one of Russia's strongest
fortified cities, which is now prac-
tically on the Russo-G German firing
line, is described in war geography
bulletin issued by the National Geo
graphic society: which says:
with a population of 10, 900, in
cluding $4,000 Jews, Dvinsk is q
city Of prime importance to Russia,
for it virtually controls the whole
valley Of the River Dvina, upon
whose right bank it is situated, no
miles (135 miles by river) southeast
of Riga.
"Not only is Dvinsk important as
a strategic river point but as thriv-
ing railway center. It is the juno
ton point for the great arteries Of
commerce running from Riga to
Smolensk and from Petrograd to
Wilma. There is also an important
railroad to Iibau. Dvinsk is 332
miles by rail southwest of Petrograd.
~Dvinsk is an important agricul-
tural center. 1t is also big timber
market, and its fiourishing indus
tries before the war included -four
mills, breweries. match and tobacco
factories, tannerics, brick and tile
works.
'sDuring Napoleon's Russian cam
paign in 1912 Marshal Oudinot tried
in vain to capture the bridgehead at
Dvinsk, but the honor of taking the
city was reserved for Macdonald a
few weeks later"

EGGS SENT SAFELY BY MAIL
New System, by Which They Are
Wrapped and Twisted In Long
Strips Of Paper, 10 Patented.

The safe delivery of eggs to be
sent through the mail viii be insured
and their period of freshness pro-
longed at the same time BY the use
of new system which has recently
been patented and is now being
called to the attention of egg deal
ers and shippers, says the Scientific
American. The patent is on a ma
chine which wraps the eggs in long
strip of paper. the eggs being entire
ly covered by the paper which is
twisted about them, making them re-
semble a length of sausages more
than anything else.
The paper in which they have been
encased has been dampened, and in
this condition the eggs are drapcd
around collapsible wire frame. As
the paper dries it becomes taut. and
the eggs are securely held between
the arms of the frame. When they
are placed in a box for shipment
they are supported 80 that they can
not come in contact with each other
nor the box, and they are thus en-
abled to withstand a rough expert
ence which would be disastrous un-
der ordinary conditions.> The frames
are made in one dozen and crate
