TRY MAGNES|A FOR
 STOMACH TROUBLE
It Neutralzes Stomach Acidity, Pro. vents Food Fermentation, Sour, Classy Stomach and Acid
 Indigestion

Doubtless if you are sufferer from pepsin, bismuth. soda. charcoal, drugs and various digestive aids, and you know these things will not cure yonr trouble-in some cases do not even give relief |
 But before giving up hope and de- ciding you are a chronic dyspeptic just try the effect of a little bisurated gnesia-not the ordinary commer- clal carbonate, citrate, oxide or milk, but the pure bisurated magnesia, which you can obtain from practically any druggist in either powdered or tablet form.
 Take teasnoonful of the powder or two compressed tablets with a little water after your next meal and see what a difference this makes. It will instantly neuWahze the dangerous, harmful acid in the stomach which now causes your food to ferment and sour. making gas wind, hatulence, heartburn and the bloated or heavy, lumpy feeling that seems to follow most everything you eat.
 You will find that provided you take a little bisurated nagnesia immediate ly after q meal. you can. eat almost anything and enjoy it without any danger of pain or discomfort to follow and moreover. the continued use of the hisurated magnesia cannot fnjure the stomach in any way so long as there are any symptoms of acid indi- gestion.

 Miss Mary Pickford in an interview said: If MT. and Mrs. Fairbanks have separated it is no concern of mine or Of any other person but themselves, so far as I can see. We are simply associated in business. MT.

 Ernest Glassey was arrested Thurs day afternoon on the charge of break ing and entering and larceny from the ticket office of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad station at Westerly one month ago next Sat urday night. Entrance was effected, after the ticket office was closed for the night, by forcing the upper sec ton of a window facing. the railroad l tracks, the lower part of which is pro tected with iron bars 1t is alleged 1 that Glassey took one mileage book | of 1000 miles and seven of 800 miles | also several tickets for ride to New l York. No money was taken, as none could be, obtained without opening the locked safe. As the books nor tick cts were not stamped, they. could not | be used without detection So far as known Glassey secured only $5. He sold mileage book to a local man for that amount, and, upon examination | the man became suspicious and did | not attempt to use the book.
 On the night the crime was commit ted the night man at the station, and 1 Glassey. who was in his company, was also intoxicated. Glassey finally lay down on the bench behind the news stand and went to sleep. This was the start of the clue that led to his arrest Glassey was assistant baggagemas stel and janitor at the station about three years ago and was therefore familiar with the station and the hours that the ticket agent and his assistant were on duty. Subsequently he entered the | freight service and was a freight I brakeman for nearly a year. He is married, and his acquaintances never suspected that he would do such ar act. After leaving the railroad em- rloy he drove the mail transfer wagon between the station and the post of. fee and was employed for short pc. rod on the Westerly -Groton trolley | line.
 Glassey was arrested at at his for. I ner home in Cranston by Chief Cuff
 and Lieutenant Debow and delivered
 to Special Agent Martin Kane whs brought him to the Westerly police station.
