FOOD DLEADERS OF

Call Next Year to Be Less,
Giving More Ships For
L. S. Soldiers

London, July 23.-The confer
ence of food controllers of the allied
governments was formally opened
this morning by John Robert Clynes,
the British food controller. Herbert c.
Hoover, the American food admins

the food controllers of Italy, France.
Belgium and other countries. Mr.
Clynes was accompanied to the ses-
sion by Waldorf Astor, the new
Parliamentary Secretary to the Brit
ish Food Department
The American food administrator
spoke of the great problem of agri-
cultural substitution. which he said
was dominated by two critical and
related factors. the first of which
was time and the second expenditure
in fodder and land productivity.
Food Aids i'm Defense
ITO increase our beef produc-
ton" continued Mr.. Hoover, would
require from three TO five years. on
the other hand. we could bring
about an enormous increase in our
meat and fat production through
swine. within nine to twelve months.
After announcing that all anxiety
had passed, Mr.. Hoover continued:
I'VE are all building ships as
part of our submarine defense. We
now have built up our food reserves
in the nearest market as a further
defense. The call for ships for food
next year will be less than last, and
consequently we will have more

GAS IN THE STOMACH
IS DANGEROUS
Recommends Daily Use OF Mag

Caused by Fermenting Food
and Acid INDIGESTION

Gas and wind in the stomach ac-
companied by that fun. bloated feel
ing after eating are almost certain
evidence of the presence Of excessive
hydrochloric acid in the stomach,
creating so-called acid indises-
ton
Acid stomachs are dangerous be-
cause too much acid irritates the deli
cate lining OF the stomach. often
leading to gastritis accompanied by
serious stomach ulcers. Food fer
ments and sours, creating the distress
sing gas which distends the stomach
and hampers the normal functions of
the vital internal organs, often af-
fecting the heart.
IL is the worst of folly TO neglect
such a serious condition - to treat
with ordinary digestive aids which
shave no neutralizing effect on the
stomach acids. Instead get from any
druggist few ounces of Bisurated
Magncsia and take a teaspoonfuI in
"a quarter glass Of water right after
eating. This will drive the gas, wind
and bloat right out of the body,
sWeeten the stomach. neutralize the
excess acid and prevent its formation
and there Is no sourness or pain.
Bisurated Magnesia Gin powder or
tablet form-never liquid or milk) is
harmless TO the stomach, inexpensive
TO take and the best form Of mag
nesia for stomach purposes. 1t is
used by thousands of people who en-
Joy their meals with no more fear
of indigestion.
