"It takes courage of a special sort TO

A Strange Fact
About Indigestion

A strange fact about Indigestion
with which comparatively few people
are acquainted, is that nine times ont
of ten pain in the stomach after eat
ing is due to food fermentation and
acidity; which, as any doctor or drug
gist can tell you, is almost instantly
relieved by taking a teaspoonful of
pure B[nesia (pOwder form) in a lit
tie hot water Immediately after eating
or whenever pain is felt. Pure Bi-nesia
IS obtainable of druggists everywhere
and if everyone would adopt this sim
pie plan, indigestion. dyspepsia, sour
stomach, gas and flatulence would soon
be unknown.

"This was an organized strafing party
and was extra on our bill along the
front. We did it voluntarily, and for
the fun of it. TIA wasn't t exactly work
" We organized the strafing party in
to two groups. One started out early,
and got a high altitude by flying baek
and forth twenty minutes or more be-
fore the second group started. That
first group was the strafing party.
" Then the second party went up and
crossed the lines at a low altitude. The
Germans were evidently surprised. Their
astOnishmefnt turned into amazement
when the low-flying group Of Americans
began doing stunts right over the Ger
man guns, loops, slide-loops and all safe
stunts.
at was as big an insult as the Ger
man mind could stand, and they turned
loose with a vengeance. Black puffs
were all around us, but We kept ON with
motors at full speed, diving, looping,
and making them still madder.
Meanwhile the group which went up
first, crossed the lines at a high altitude
with motors shut off, gliding along.
They were unnotieed on account of the
racket of the motors of the stunt group,
and succeeded in getting positions above
half dozen balloons before Heinie was
the wiser.
"Then they dived, each man straight
for balloon, shooting as he came, the
guns being loaded with incendiary bull
lets.
Out of every sausage there came an
observer hanging on a parachute and
the machines on the ground frantieally
hauled in the boehe sausages. The whole
flock of American planes sped across
the lines, having cleaned the sector Of
German balloons with one general
dive.
"Heinie won't forget that little sur,

Lighthouse CEASED, ;,

Washington, Aug. l3.-Gassing of an
American lighthouse by a German sub
marine confirmed expectations of naval
officers here today that the Germans
sooner or later would make some spec
tacular display on the coast. No mill
tary advantage can result from such
attacks, as the one against the Smith
Island light off the North Carolina
coast Saturday, but the Germans evi-
IDENTIFY hoped to terrorize by such
methods. Sinking of fishing ships off
the New England coast is part of this
campaign of frightfulness.
In making their gas attack on the
Smith Island lighthouse, which injured
six men. none fatally, the Germans are
believed to have used new form of
mustard gas. Official reports to the
navy department. state that three large
oil spots, each over an acre in extent,
were observed an it is believed the
gas was generated from this OIL The
attack lasted nearly an hour.

being struck the whole deck amidships
was swash, and the crew left the ship.
The ship, they state, was standing
directly up and down with the bow
in the water, about IA feet being Wis
ible.
"The captain and his 80 men got
into two boats and made for Sandy
Hook. They were sighted by a sub.
marine chaser at 6.35 a. m. and res
eued. -Four Of the men of the crew
reported that they saw a periseope
sticking about six feet out Of the
water and moving very rapidly. The
torpedo they estimated was about y
feet long"
The ''boomeranging" of the torpedo
responsible for the sinking of the Som
erstad was attributed by naval officials
here to a jammed rudder. 1t was
pointed out that if the rudder did not
function properly torpedo might very
easily swerve in its course and com
pletely turn around. Also some experts
added that imperfect gyroseopie mech
anism has been known to cause tor
pedo to turn around in its course. The
thought advanced that possibly the
Germans had perfected means of con
trolling a torpedo's course by wireless
was believed unlikely, though possible
That the Hun gas attack off the
South Carolina coast may be followed
by other similar attacks was the belief
of navy men today. According to re-
ports made to the department on the
attack on the light house the gas was
effective 35 or 40 minutes. Its color
has not yet been aseertained nor its
effect on trees and shrubbery, but a
FULL report on the attack has been
asked by the navy department.
