The, Crown Prince is absolutely
correct in his facts. The telegram,
already written, was laid before Inc

TELLS DYSPEPTICS
WHAT TO EAT
Avoid Indigestion, Sour Acid Stomach,
Heartburn, GaA On StOnInch. Etc.

Heartburn, Gas On stomach, Etc.
Indigestion and practically all
forms OF stomach trouble, say medi-
cal authorities. are due nine times
acid in the stomach. Chronic "acid
stomach" is exceedingly dangerous
and sufferers should do either one of
two things.
Either they can go on limited
and often disagreeable diet, avoiding
foods that disagree with them, that
irritate the stomach and lead to eX-
as they please in reason and make
IL a practice to counteract the ef-
feet of the harmful acid and prevent
the formation of gas, sourness or
premature fermentation by the use
OF a little Bisurated Magnesia at their
meals.
There is probably no better safer
than Bisurated Magnesia and it is
widely used for this purpose. 1t has
no direct action on the stomach and
is not digestent. But teaspoon
full of the powder or a couple of five
grain tablets taken in a little water
with the food will neutralize the eX-
cess acidity which may be present
and prevent its further formation.
This removes the whole cause of the
trouble and the meal diSsts naturally
and healthfulty without need of pep
sin pills or artificial digestents
Get a few ounces of Bisurated Mag
nesia from G.. A. Gorgas or any re-
liable druggist. Ask for either powder
or tablets. 1t never comes as liquid,
milk or citrate and the bisurated
form is not a laxative. Try this plan
and eat what you want at your next
meal and see if this isn't the best ad-
vice you ever had on what to eat

we were sincere in the ideals that
our boys fought for and gave
their lives for. If to be n men,
Der of the Red Cross was badge

1t is equally a badge of Honor
the honor of carrying on now
that the war is over. We cannot

hand marks an advanced step in
our civilization. Above all, it is
