Smith asking the taxpayers and
rcters Of this Parish to grant
them franchise on all gas and
oil, for illuminating and other
purposes, for the City of New

every respect. To give a fran

ACID STOMACHS .

Nine-tenths of All Stomach Trouble
~ Said to Be Due to Acldity.
A Physicians Advice on Cause and
"-r e:. Cure,

~
.. Cure.
A famous physician whose success
full researches into the cause and cure
Of stomach and intestinal diseases
have earned for him an international
reputation, said in the course Of re-
cent lecture that nearly all intestinal
troubles. as we'll as many diseases of
the vital organs, were directly trace
able to a deranged condition Of the
stomach which in turn was due nine
times out of ten to excessive acidity,
commonly termed sour stomach or
heartburn, which not only irritated
and infiamed the delicate lining of the
stomach, but also set up gastritiS and
stomach ulcers. 1t is interesting to
note that he condemns the use of pat
ent medicines as well as Of medical
treatment for the stomach, stating
that he and his colleagues have Sc
cured remarkable results by the use,
of ordinary bisurated magnesia, which,
by neutralizing the acidity of the food,
removes the source of the trouble.
He contends that it is as foolish to
treat the stomach itself as it would
be for man who stepped on tack to
rub liniment on the foot without first
removing the tack. Remove the tack
and the foot will heal itself-neutral-
ize the acid and stomach troubles will
disappear. Irritating medicines and
medical treatments are useless, so
long as the contents or the stomach
remain acid; remove the acidity, and
there will be no need for medicine
the inf1amed lining OF the stomach
will then heal itself Sufferers from
acidity, sour stomach or heartburn
should get small bottle Of bisurated
magnesia from their druggist, and take
teaspoonful in quarter of a glass
of hot or cold water after meals, re-
peating in fifteen minutes, of neces-
sary, this being the dose which the
doctor has found most efficacious in
all cases. For sale by Benson, Smith

first and gets in his way. His name
is Joe Neville
All summer he worked hard ito
make that team" He was built like
iron, but weighed only 1877 pounds,
and although he made the Yale team
in the season of 1915, he knew that il
meant persistent work,to make it the
next season
At the Hunter Island Boy Scout
camp Of the New York City Council
last summer he was named athletic di,
rector, but he did everything he was
asked to do and then a good deal
more just because he was out to
make good in everything. He put
up tents, chopped wood, carried in
provisions, taught the scouts how to
play football, baseball and anything
they wanted to know.
Joe Neville is in the class of 1918
at Yale, plays halfback on a varsity
baseball team. He is feet IL inches
in height, with a wonderful physique,
muscles hard as a rock, but not over
developed.
He made the team at Yale, and.
what's more, he made the first touch
down that Yale has made against Har-
yard in six years, thereby winning
the game for the Blue.
So the Boy Scout camp official
came through with even more sue
cess than he dared hope Not one
single day during the summer had
gone by that he had not practised foot.
ball-and not one minute had gone by
that he had not done something to
contribute toward the touchdown that
won the game for Yale. ia

Declaring that if H. H. Hornback were compelled to labor it would con- tribute to his incapacity, Dr. Grant $. Monical on the witness stand yesterday testified in behalf of conservation of life. He was witness for Hornback. whose defense in a failure to provide case was that he was not physically fit for work
 The Hornbacks were married in May, 1916, and the wife declared her hus- band left her ten months afterwards because he was aggravated" She testified that he failed to give her the proper medical attention, food and clothing during their brief married life, declaring that shortly after their baby was born her diet was breakfast cereal without cream or milk. She had been compelled=to accept aid from her broth er-in-law. George Sears, she said, since her husband left her last summer. Mrs Hornback laid special stress on the neglect she received when her child was born.
 This was indignantly denied by Mrs. Sarah King, at whose home the Horn backs lived at that time. Facing Jus tice De Souza Mrs. King emphatically stated that she was sorry that she was in the court room.

CONVERSATION
 0F MUNITIONS

It appears that Phoenix iS arming or helping to arm the American forces in France. Phoenix is willing to do it's share but it does not want to assume he whole burden; at any rate Justice Frank De Souza does not and he is as loyal as any man in America.
 But that is not a part of the main story. only a foreword.
 A few days ago R. H. Brumbacb, Tom Adams and c. E. Johnson went to he Indian reservation south of the city to kill off ducks. They knew that hey would need a permit for the deci- nation of the ducks and as soon as they could get in touch with anybody on the reservation they asked where they should make application. They were told to see man by the name of ward.
 In the course of their wanderings hey we're accOsted by a man who said his name was Ward and who asked them why they were moving in an armed force that. way. When they told him that they were after a permit he replied that the permit was a condition precedent to Appearance on the res ervation bearing arms. He accordingly divested them of their munitions and something was then said about a per init later.
 The hunters returned to the city and made application by mail in due form They enclosed S5 each. Perhaps they did not expect to hunt on the reserva- ton again. The applications were made IS an evidence of their good faith and in the hope that the guns would be re- turned In the course of time the permits were received with the re- -eipts for the money but the guns have so far been retained. The gun wasted by MT. Adams was the property of Justice De Souza who believes that the weapon was sent to France. He had heard from various sources that the government had been unable to secure enough guns to arm it's troops in a regular way and so he believes that this irregular method has been adopt sd. The justice accordingly feels him. self fully represented on the western front.
 Il has been pointed out to the jus ice that these were shotguns and that shotguns are not used in war Why not? asks the justice. They are using bombs and he knows that he can shoot farther with his gun than any man or lhe western front can hurl a bomb. He feels that his shotgun is in a large measure responsible for the success o1 General Byng's offensive. It would just about have had time to reach the front if it had been sent by MT. Ward immediately after the confiscatior of it.
