Steadfast Refusal of
Mrs. Byrne to Eat or
Drink Causes Anxiety

New York, Jan. %. Friends of
Mrs. Ethel Byrne, serving a 30-day
sentence for her activity in birth con-
troll propaganda, became alarmed to-
day by her stubborn refusal to eat or
drink and declared they would appeal
to both President Wilson and Cover
nor Whitman. Mrs. Byrne has not
touched food or drink since o'clock
last Monday morning.
Mrs Juliet Rubles, who went to
Washington to-day to do picket duty
with the congressional union before
the White House said she would strive
to arrange for an interview with the
President. A deputation of prominent
women who are in sympathy with
Mrs. Byrnes efforts to spread infor-
nation regarding birth control will
go to Albany to see the Governor
Both federal and State officials will
be urged to have the statute regarding
birth control information revised.
A physical examination of Mrs
Byrne by penitentiary physicians
showed that her heart action was nor
NAL after fifty hours of fasting, but
that she was losing weight, according
TO a statement to-day by Jonah j.
Goldstein, her counsel.
Mrs. Margaret Sanger. sister of Mrs
Byrne, and pioneer in the birth con-
troll movement, was indicted by the
Brooklyn grand jury to-day on the
charge of maintaining a public nui-
sance. She was released in $500 bail.
Mrs. Sanger's determination to teach
birth control to the poor of Brooklyn
in clinic brought her into conflict
with the police. Her trial on the same
charges as that on which Mrs. Byrne
was convicted will take place Monday.

Middletown Ferry Station
Case Heard by Commission

Public Service Commissioner James
Alcorn sat to-day in the Supreme
Court chamber to hear the objections
to the abandonment of the station of
the Northern Central at Middletown
Ferry, one of the noted stations of the
lower Susquehanna. The Northern
Central proposed to close it and to
have Riverview used in it's place.
Members of the Free family, which
have owned land in the vicinity of the
historic ferry for many years, object
ed pointing out the depreciation of
property which would ensue and the
long use which has caused many peo-
pie living in the country to regard it
as a place to board or leave the train.
The Northern Central officials con-
tended that the traffic did not jutify
the station and that there was more
business at Riverview, which they
contended was only a short distance
away in any event.

Dyspeptics Should
Avoid Drugs and
Medicines
Try IA Little Magnesia Instead.

Some people instinctively shut their
eyes to danger, and 1t may be that
instinct, or custom or habit causes dys-
peptics to take drugs, patent foods and
medicines, artificial digestents, etc.
But closing the eyes does not Danish
the danger, and it is certain that neith-
err drugs nor medicines possess the
power to destroy the harmful excessive
acid in the stomach, which is the un
derlying cause of most forms of indi-
gestion and dyspepsia. They may give
temporary relief, but ever increasing
quantities must be taken, and all the
time the acid remains in the stomach
as dangerous as ever.
Physicians know this and that is why
their advice so often to sufferers from
digestive and stomach trouble is Just
get about an ounce of purse bisurnted
magnesia from your druggist and take
a teaspoonful in a little water immedi-
ately after every meal. This will in
stantly neutraliZe all the harmful acid
in the stomach and stop all food fer
mentation, thus enabling you to enjoy
hearty meals without experiencing the
least pain or unpleasantness afterward.
G.. A. Gorgas can supply you.
