Sour Stomach,

This is a mild form of indigestion.
1t is usually brought on by eating too
rapidly or too much. or OF food not
suited to your digestive organs. If
you will eat slowly, masticate your
food thoroughly, eat but little meat
and none at all for supper, you will
more than likely avoid sour stomach
without taking any medicine what
ever. When you have sour stomach

NEW ENCLA ANDERS APPEALED TO ON
 COAL SHORTAGE
Committee Suggests Means of Avoiding Waste in
 Home and Shop.
The following appeal is issued by
 the New England coal committees: To the Citizens If Neu EnoIand.-

The following appeal is issued by the New England coal committee: To the Citizens of New England:- Coal is essential to the successful prosecution of the war. Every avail able pound can be put to use. It is the patriotic duty of every citizen to avoid waste of coal and to consider how his coal requirements can be re- duced.i New England in particular is con- fronted by a most critical situation. Two-thirds of New England's coal supply normally comes by water. Many vessels engaged in carrying coal to New England ports, have, however, already been taken by the govern ment, and more will have to be sur rendered for government service as the war goes on. Our railroads are now burdened to the limit of their capacity and cannot take care of the extra load thus thrown upon them. With these limitations upon our trans portation facilities come the greatest demand for coal ever known in New England. Under these circumstances every New England coal user must help.
 We ask all househoIders: A. Not to use coal for heating pur- poses before the first of November, or after the first of May, unless the house temperature is below 60 de- grees.
 B. To burn wood wherever possible. C. To use small oil heaters when it | is necessary to keep certain parts of the house at a special temperature. D. To reduce the coal used in the stoves. Do your cooking at one part of the day. Use wood whenever you can.
 B. To be economical with gas;. and with electricity where it is generated | by coal-using plants. Turn off the | house lights when not needed if only I for few moments l We ask those who control office buildings, hotels, apartment houses: l A Not to use coal for heating be- | fore the first of November or after the first of May, unless the tempera- ture of the building is below 60 de- grees.
 l B. Not to heat buildings in excess l of 65 degrees. . l c. To bank fires at all practicable
 times. and when building is to be only partially used to turn off heat where ever feasible. Business buildings not used after p. m. should bank fires at 4 p. m.
 | D. To reduce to the barest necessi-
 ties all illumination by gas or by coal made electricity. The times call for more than usua | skill and care in putting coal into
 stoves and furnaces. Feed sparingly Instructions are being prepared whicf
 will help you get the most heat ou of your coal.

Ebert H. Gary, chairman of the board of directors of the United States Steel corporation, believes the United States Is engaged in a war that will continue to be long and bloody.
 T can see no reason for believing that the war will end soon," he said. .T don't see how either side at the pres- ent time can make terms which would be acceptable by or acceptable to the

They | must see that they have everything to lose in making peace now. If Ger many gets domination over Russia, she will reap terrible vengeance. She will never forget the part that Russia played early in the war. Germany blames Russia more than anyone else for starting the war.

FLOWER BULBS 5 PLANTED NOW ,
 MOST THRIFTY
IBurpee's Instructions Value to Horticul-
 turists.

No garden is complete without its colonies of spring and summer. flower dng bulbs. For instance, what flower Eof the garden in springtime can vru lfor brifiiancy and general effective ness with the tulip? The colors range from pure white through shades of yellow. pink, rose and scarlet to black l1sh maroon, therefore any desired col or scheme can be easily carried out. By the use Of Early and Darwin tulips (which are later flowering) theyfm fmay be had in, bloom from April until June. If wanted primarily for cutting purposes, then planx largely of the Darwin varieties.
 sNarcissus should also be freely used. These, by the way. are often called l 1Daffodfis, but the botanical name for all this. family is Narcissus and they are grouped in several distinct sec tions,s The large trumpet and double varieties are, however, commonly call ed daffodils. The fragrant pure white lvariety with small crimson cup, is the true Poets Narcissus or Pheasant's Eye. and. even If they had no beauty hofj flower, should find a place in our borders for their delicious fragrance alone. In cool locations they are icharming subjects for naturalizing in woodland or lawn
 aPlantsaH bulbs as early as possible. DO not wait until the ground has been jfrozen' and thawn out again, and is therefore sticky to work. Get at it if possible during Octobef. Early plant ing will ensure the bulbs making some .ropt growth before winter sets in, and hsfger~ and finer' flowers.
 If the ground was we'll manured In fhe spring. all that it now requires is Ia dressing of bone meal. Spade the ground deeply. thoroughly puiverizing the soil as you proceed, and in form ing the beds grade them to slope from lthe center towards the edges. Should the soil be poor it will be greatly inn proved by digging in liberal quantity of thoroughly routed manure. But { never use fresh manure for bulbs, and the bulbs must never come in. close Dcontact with even old manure, as this may induce rot.
 Undoubtedly the tulip is the gayest denizen of our spring garden. Plant four inches deep and four inches apart. For early blooming use sucL varieties as Artus, scarlet; Cottage Maid. pink; Gold Finch, deep yellow Jenny. carTnine-rose: { Keizerkroon red and yellow; La Reine. white Thomas Moore. terra cotta: Pinl Beauty. Rose Queen, White Swan Yellow Prince, etc.
 Darwin tulips bloom during Ma, and early June. They have much long ler flower stems than the early vari cities and are therefore of great valu, for cutting. Of late yearrs they hay, become exceedingly popular and ar, now grown in immense quantities b. the florists.
 First class varieties are Adele Sand
 rock. salmon-rose; Clara Butt, sal
 men-pink; Dream. soft lilac; Europe rosy-red; Faust, purple-maroon
