ulcers.
Ordinary stomach medicines or
latter dinner pills" that act only
on the stomach walls or lining or
artificially digest and force the
food contents from the stomach to
the intestines are inadequate in
such cases, for they leave the
source of the trouble, the excess
acid in the stomach, as dangerous
as ever.
Such cases are we'll treated by
the use of simple antacid and
astringent which will act upon
the stomach contents, neutralize
the acidity of the food and tend
to prevent the further excessive
formation of acid.
There is an excellent treat
ment for this purpose, namely a
teaspoonful Of ordinary bisurated
msgnesia taken in a little hot or
cold water after eating.
Sufferers from acid indigestion,
sour stomach and heartburn
should get small bottle of Bisur-

tablets-never liquid)-from any
good druggist and they may ex-

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 0.
In peace times Uncle Sam is his
own armorer, making the greater
part of all the arms and ammuni-
ton that he uses.
Few people realize this, and i'm
agine that he is helpless in the
hands of the wicked private manu-
facturers.
They may have heard of the
naval gun factory at Washington
or the Rock Island arsenal. but
they have no conception of the
enormous war factories which the
government operates.
Operating on a two-shift basis
the war factories of the ordnance
department can produce each year
all the arms and equipment that
the regular army and the national
guard requires.
But the government would
have to ask aid from private
manufacturers, particularly
powder manufacturers, il he
should attempt to send an
army of million men to
France.
The annual capacity of the
arsenals is $4,000 rifles,
$4,000 automatic pistols, 40
million rifles cartridges, 30
million pistol cartridges, 344
three-inch cannon, "a six-inch
cannon and 40 nine and five

The principal arsenals of the
war department are Frankfort ar

is manufactured; Rock Island ar
