GAS|N THE STOMACH

Recommends Daily Use of Magnesia
To Overcome Trouble. Caused
by Fermenting Food and
Acid Indigestion

Gas and wind in the stomach ac-
companied by that full bloated feel
ing after eating are almost certain
evidence of the presence of excessive
hydrochloric acid in the stomach
creating so called "acid Indigestion"
Acid stomachs are dangerous be-
cause too much acid irritates the deli
cate lining of the stomach often lead
ing to gastritis accompanied by seri-
Gus stomach ulcers. Food ferments
and sours creating the distressing gas
which distends the stomach and hamp-
ers the normal functions of the vital
internal organs. often affecting the
heart
1t is the worst of folly to neglect
such serious condition or to treat
with ordinary digestive aids which
have no neutralizing effect on the
stomach acids. Instead get from any
druggist few ounces of Bisurated
Magnesia and take a teaspoonful in a
quarter glass of water right after eat
ing. This Will drive the gas, wind
and bloat right out of the BODY

excess acid and prevent its formation
ana there Is no sourness or pain. Bis
urated Magnesia Gin powder or tablet

less to the stomach, inexpensive to
take and the best form of magnesia
for stomach purposes. 1t is used by
thousands of people who enjoy their

the further loss of hair. The effect
of only three days use of Partisan
Sage Is simply marvellous, and the
American people have now awakened
to the fact that dandruff is Just as

that they can be quickly rid of ii and
save their hair by using a few ounces

washington. June 5.-Herbert @.
Hoover. who will be food adminis-

published reports quoting him as sag

exhausted and predicting outrageous

Il have never made a statement fol

portant conference state that unless
order was restored in Cuba we would
be short of sugar because of inability
to secure the harvest of the forthcom-
ing crop.
Since that time action has been
taken and ample supplies are assured
not only from Cuba but from else
where. There will be no famine in
sugar, and I wish to protest at the
repetition of partial discussions in
private conference to the wholly un,
necessary alarm of consumers"

Washington, June 5. - Prohibition

the Senate finance committee as a new
feature of the war tax bill.
Prohibitive taxes upon distillation

importation, were agreed upon by a
substantial majority of the commit

and wines were left unchanged though
they have not yet been finally ap-

General suspension of beverage pro-

"CREATION" FOR
LOCALIZED CROSS
Haydn's Masterpiece Will Be
Sung by Carefully Sc
lected Chorus

l
The Musical Art Society will sing
Haydn's Creation" on Thursday
evening, in Grace M. e. Church au-
ditorium. A chorus of fifty carefully
selected voices, with organ and or
chestra accompaniment, will take
part. The soloists will be Mary But
torff, Katharine Dubbs, Vania Fors-
ter, Mildred Garman, sopranos; John
| ID. Fisher and William E. BretZ, ten
ors; William S. Hoover and Ross
Harman, baritones. The performance
will begin promptly at eight O'Clock.
A silver offering will be taken at
the end oftpart one. The entire pro-
ceeds will be turned over to the Red
Cross work
| Haydn was siXty-five years old
when he undertook the composition
/ of Creation" 1t was begun in 1896
and finished in 1898. The first pub
lie performance was given on March
| 10, 1893, although private per-
formance was given one year ear
| lier.
Choruses Impressive
| The oratorio opens with an over
ture representing chaos. At first its
effect is dull and indefinite, without
form or melodic beauty. 1t is Ma
into definite form. Gradually the
discordances settle, leaving a misty
effect, that truly suggests "the Spirit
of God moving upon the fact of the
waters
A brief recitative by the tenor tells
of the division of light from dark
ness, and the end of chaos. intro
ducing a fuged chorus, in which the
rage of Satan and his hellish spirits,
as they are precipitated into the
abyss, is described with startling dis
sonances and strange modulations;
but the closing part relates the beau
ties of the new created earth spring.
ing up "at Gods command" Ra-
phael then describes the making of
the armament, the raging storms, the
flashing lightning and rolling thun-
ders, the rain and hail, and the gent
ly falling snow.
And so the oratorio goes on de-
scribing each day, the accompani-
ment being always suggestive and
colorful, and the choruses wonder
fully impressive.
Regarding the Creation" Haydn
said Never was l so pious as when
composing The Creation I knelt
down every day and prayed God to
strengthen me for the work"

Mccoy, q third fater, has been called
the champion ever since he accidental

than one round.
Chip did not have clear title to the
championship inasmuch as Frank
Klaus, who was beaten by him, was
not genuine titleholder Mccoy never
has riaked his alleged title since he
stopped Chip. He has INDUCED in nuns
erOus bouts in which hngging ana
wrestling tactics have probably saved
him from defeat. He is not an inter-
esting fighter and lacks popularity,

champion OF this country, but Darcy
seems to be in no great hurry to try
conclusions with him.

And lay for a moment abashsd and
She never before had been so near

And she felt for time at a loss to

How to answer thing so coarse and
low
But to give reproof Of noblar sort

Since 1t has happened that l am

From the tighter element, where !
Down to another so hard and new,
And beside q parsonage so august,
Abashed will cover my head with
And quickly retire from the sight Of
one
whom time. nor season. nor storm,
Nor the gentle dew. nor the grinding
Has ever subdued or made to fesl!"
And soon in the earth she sunk away
From the comfortless spot where the
Pebble lay.
But it was not long ere the soil Vas

The Pebble looked up. and wondering
"a modest Acorn! Never to tell
What was inclosed in its simple shell;
That the pride of the forest was fold

In the narrow space Of its little cup!
And meally to sink in the daFksome

And. o, how many will tread on me,

The poor condition of Hartman's
dogs at the finish ID explained
by the fact that he had the
poorest bunch of dogs Of all

dog driver declared that if he owned
Hartman's dogs he would club all
OF them to death, and then trade the
