Dyspeptics Should
Avoid Drugs And
Medicines
Try n Little Magnesia Instead

Some people instinctively shut their
eyes to danger. and it may be that in
stinct. 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 neither
drugs nor medicines possess the power
to destroy the harmful excessive acid
in the stomach, which is the underlying
cause of most forms of indigestion 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 dan
gerous 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 pure bIsur-
ated magnesia from your druggist and

London, Aug. 24.-The allies eyes
were turned to Russia again today.
Germany was driving powerfully
toward Riga. A number of Petrograd
dispatches, admitting considerable adj

possibility that the government would
move from Petrograd to Moscow
Petrograd is less than 400 miles from
Riga, and the Baltic seaport is one of
the key cities to the capital. All Rus

situation as grave, but not necessarily
without hope.

@. s. Evidences 1t by New Loan
of 500, 100000.
Money, Ships, Supplies, Pledged
to "Baby Republic"

Washington, Aug IS - Another
credit of s100,000,0O0 to Russia was
made Friday by the American govern
ment.
Secretary of State Lansing officially
denied stories of a general pessimism
in government quarters over the Rus
sian situation. He authorized this
comment:
IT don't think there IS any feeling
that Russia is on the verge of a col
lapse. In fact, she is stronger today
than she was a month ago, both from
the general government and military
standpoint"
The recommendations of the Root
mission, he added, are about to be
carried out He confirmed statements
yesterday that American aid in the
way of a loan, supplies and ships has
been agreed upon
Moral and material forces were
thrown into the Russian situation by
the United States today to tide over
another crisis.
AS a potent force toward winning
the war, Russia has long since been
discarded. Every effort will be made,
however, to help her complete the
characterization of her country and
figure in the forces ruling the world
when peace comes.
Anticipate Fail of Riga?
Even tho Riga may fall, military
Russian situation doubt that Germany
can spare sufficient men to make her
drive tell.
Ambassador Francis's advices, gath
cred from the Russian government,
pointed to the possibility OF Riga fall
ing and also to the fact that internal
political troubles as well as the mill
tary menace might force removal of
the capital from Petrograd to Mos
COW.
Today the state department expect
ed to address note to Minister Teres-
tchenko in an encouraging vein. The
United States stands ready to assist
fully in establishing Russia effective
against Germany.
Moscow Conference Now on.
The Moscow conference this week
is expected to crystalline the political
situation. With all elements repre-
scented and striving to get some work
ing foundation for the new democracy,
the American government is hopeful
that the sound progressive sections
will rule.
While Germany is hammering to-
ward Riga. her agents are spreading
propaganda poison inside Russia. The
embassy here will offset this, tho by
sending to the conference the an
nouncement of fresh American aid.
Brings Total to 275 Million.
This brings the total of credits ex-
tended so far to the Russian govern
ment to S275, 100000. Some of the
money probably will be used to pur-
chase railway supplies and equipmen
in this country. Approximately $500
locomotives, tens of thousands OF
freight cars and many thousand tons
of steel rails and other railway equip
ment are needed at once.
