GERMANS BELIEVE
WAR Is CERTAIN
Newspapers Adopt Tone of
Viewing Conflict With U. S.
as Inevitable

Copenhagen, via London, March 90
There has been q noticeable absence
of comment in the German papers OF
the last few days on the news OF
American war preparations. The pa
pers have printed various dispatches
some from New York and others from
the Anglo-French press, but generally
without comment. The tone of the
headlines alone indicates the increas-
ing certitude that war is inevitable.
The news of the recall of the Ameri-
can representatives on the Belgian re-
lief commission has, however, stirred
the editorial writer's into breaking their
silence. The Tages Zeitung attacks the
American commissioners sharply, de-
claring that they were steadily work
ing in English interests and furnished
Il regular channel for the transmission
of military news from Belgium. This
paper retorts to American criticism of
the interruption of Brand Whitlock' S
communications by referring to the
alleged restrictions placed on Count
Won Bernstorff's use of the wireless
by the American government.
An inspired explanation which ap-
pears in the German papers in regard
to the sinking of relief ships is that
they entered the prohibited zone where
safe conducts are invalid.

Stomach Not Helped
By Artificial Digestents
Doctors Now Advise MnSnesin For Acid
Indigestion

Just how foolish it is to indiscrim-
inately dose the stomach with drugs
and medicines is often not realized un-
til too late. 1t seems so simple to swal-
low a dose of some special mixture or
take pepsin tablets, or other artificial
digestents after meals, and the folly
of this drugging is not apparent until,
perhaps years afterward, when chronic
dyspepsia has developed or gastric
ulcers have almost or entirely eaten
their way through the stomach walls.
Regrets are then unavailingI
1t is in the early stages when indiSes-
tion, dyspepsia, heartburn, fiatulence,
stomach or fermentation of food con-
tents that precaution should be taken.
In excessive acidity digestents are
unsuitable and have little or no inilu-
ence upon the harmful acid that is
why so many are discarding them and
advising sufferers from Indigestion and
stomach trouble to get rid of the dan
gerous acid and keep the food contents
bland and sweet by taking a little pure
bisurated magnesia instead.
Bisurated Magnesia is pleasant,
harmless, antacid which can be readily
obtained from G. A. Gorgas or any drug
store 1t is practically tasteless and a
teaspoonful taken in little hot or cold
water after meals, will usually be
found quite sufficient to instantly neu-
tralize excessive acidity of the stomach
and thus relieve the distress to which it
is giving rise.-Adv.

THE HOMELY VIRTUES
BY Beatrice Fairfax


We live at very high rate of speed
and tension to-day. Things flash by
us as scenery seems to whirl past a
rapidly moving express train. And
we have sc little pers- ective on
events that we complacently feel that
we are fairly stable and stationary
and that it is the world that is flash
ing by.
AS a matter of fact, most of us
have hurried our lives into the ex-
press train class and we are flashing
by the world without taking time to
examine it carefully and iudiciously.
The only things we really notice in
life are those which project them
selves from the mass. The qualities
in human nature that make for peace
and comfort and home-loving happi-
ness do not stand out as high peaks
gilded by the sunright-at least, they
do not so project themselves upon
our feverish and hurried conscious
ness.
Shams and Poses
What we notice is the tinselled
glare of shams and poses. Briliancy
and ability to pun, tendency toward
clever witticism, flashy tendency to
turn moral questions upside down,
scathing criticism, sarcastic under
valuation of true fineness-all these
things have tinsel attraction for us
and make us inclined to pass by real
worth and stable, unpyrothecnic men
tai qualities without noticing them.
We think in headlines and do -ot
stop to read the articles back of the
headlines, whether they be on the
printed page or serve as human docu-
mentS.
If a physician comes forward and
fiaunts a miraculous cure for any
thing or everything before us we are
likely to honor him and pass by the
good old family practitioner who
saves more lives each month than the
quack remedy will ever conserve
through all the ages.
Goodness and humility do not i'm
press Us at all. They weary us. They
have no snowy virtue, no brilliant
charm. Loyalty we sneer at. Truth
and honor we thrust aside as inn
practical for business dealings.

WHY DOES OIL CALM TIL EsEA?

waves IN MO ocean are caused en-
tirely by the action of the wind. The
adhesion between the rapidly moving
particles of air which compose the
wind and the surface particles of the
water causes the waters surface to be
dragged along with the air. Small
ripples are Immediately formed,
states Popular Science Monthly. These
ripples soon overtake others near
them. They unite, and due to the fric-
ton between the water particles, each
succeeding ripple piles up on the top
of previous ones
Just as soon as oil is spread upon
the water, however, the size of the
waves is reduced like magic. The rea-
son for this is Interesting. Oil, unlike
water, has very little internal friction
between it's particles. The ripples of
oil formed by the wind. therefore.
cannot pile upon each other to any
considerable height. Hence. water
waves cannot grow in an area of oil
placed about a steamer. They begin to
fall down instead. BY the time these
waves reach the boat they will have
lost their formative ripples and the
result is a perfectly calm surface over
the portion of the sea through which
the boat is making its way.
