Fighting Poison Gas.

Do you know that you folks at home
as we'll as the brave boys "over there
are menaced by poison gas'-the
insidious kind that steals away health
and the 10y of living, in the perpetually
recurring disturbances resulting from
a gassy, sour stomach.
1900 New York physicians regularly
prescribe JOHNS DICE STiV +
TABLETS as the most perfect form
of relief known for these stomach dis
orders. The TABLETS are highly
beneficial for gastric and Intestinal
indigestion, heartburn, acid or sour
stomach, fatulence and gastric catarrh.
They sure do vanish that poison gas
which is the basis of most stomach
ailments, as well as Danish bad breath
which usually heralds that gas-hiieo
stomach.
Get the TABLETS at your drug
store. They insure quick, lasting reief
bv taking three to six dissolved IN
glass of water or chewed before swaii-
owing. Have JOHNS DIGESTIVE
TABLETS handy in the dining room
for chronic cases OF gastric or intes-
final indigestion as one or two IAb-
lets should be 4aken before each
meal.

AWAIT REPORTS
FROM DOWN STATE

More belated returns from the Red
Cross Christmas Roll Call were re-
ceived at headquarters today. The adj
ditional memberships totalled 3i74,
which added to the total Of 29,0i6 re-
ported up to Tuesday brings the grand
total TO date up TO 32,i90
But there are many more commit
tees and sections, especially down the
state, to be heard from Most Of these
are not expected before next week.
Harlan's unofllcially have reported a
membership of 2,7s6. which means that
more than one-third Of the workmen

Pusey and Jones made a preliminary
unofficial report of 775 today, but these
figures are not final.
From Georgetown came two reports
today totalling 1852. st. Georges hun
dred came forward, too, with 500 addi-
tional memberships.
One OF the things that has been ac-
complished by the Roll Call has been the
development Of a spiriLof willingness to
aid the Red Cross that was not mani
fest before. The aim Of the campaign
was really TO bring about that object,
so that in the future, because Of the
big membership, It would not be neces-
sary to have campaigns to raise funds
