HOUSE WOULD TRY
VOLUNTEER SYSTEM
FOR WAR PURPOSES

Washington. April 19.-The action of
the House Committee in striking out
to-day the provision for selective con-
scription in the administration army
Dill was straight ou tdecision for the
principle of volunteer system first of
ALL applying both as to filing up the
ranks OF the regular arm. the National
Guard and the raising of the new
army. The bill, however, is before the
senate with the conscription clause
in it.
But when the volunteer system fails
10 provide sufficient numbers of men
the president would have authority to
resort at once to selective conscrip-
tion.
Chairman Dent made this statement:
Ihe committee agreed to put in the
OIL provisions for a call for 500 900 VOL
unteers in the first instance and for
SoO'oO0 more IL the President wants
them. the number in each case con-
templated in the administration bill
for conscription.
No Age Limit Yet
The committee has not yet fixed the
military age but it probably will be
between 2l and 40. instead of the 10
and 20 contemplated in the admInistra-
ton measure. The President is author
lzeu TO proceed with. the enrolment
and registration of men between the
military ages Immediately and on COM
pletion of that enrolment and registra-
ton the President is authorized to de-
eide which he will proceed with. the

Acid Stomachs
Are Dangerous
Tells Common Sense Way to Treat
Indigestion

Medical authorities claim that near
ly nine-tenths of the c9ses of stomach
trouble, indigestion, sourness, burn
ing. gas. ETC., are due to an excess of
hydrochloric' acid in the stomach.
Acid" stomachs are dangerous be-
cause too much acid irritates the deli
cate lining of the stomach, often lead
ing to gastritis accompanied by dan
gerous gastric ulcers.
Ordinary stomach medicines or
"after-dipner pills" that act only on
the stomach walls or lining or artifici-
ally digest and force the. acid food
contents from the stomach to the in
testines are inadequate in such cases.
for they leave the source of the
trouble, the excess acid in the stom-
ach, as dangerous as ever.
Such cases are well treated by the
use of a simple antacid and astringent
which will act upon the stomach con-
tents, neutralize the acidity of the
food and tend to prevent the further
excessive formation of acid.
There is an excellent treatment for
this purpose, namely a teaspoonful of
ordinary bisurated magnesia taken in
a little hot or cold water after eating
Sufferers from acid indigestion, sour
stomach and heartburn should get a
small bottle of Bisurated Magnesia
(either powder or tablets-never
liquid from George A. Gorgas or any
god druggist and they may expect that
the distress ordinarily caused by their
food will be avoided. IL the above di-
rections are followed.-Advertisem

As ordinarily arranged, the national
guardsmen were TO be held in their

weeks. Now there will be virtually no
delay in getting them into southern
and southeastern department camps.
The reason for the possible delay
until Aug. 5 is that the officers are
rated for rank according to the actual
time they are in service. Hence, some
of the officers coming on July Is. for
instance, would have opportunity to
get higher rank than equally efficient
officers called later. The matter OF
