ACIDS IN STOMACH
 CAUSE INDIGESTION

Create Gas, Soreness and Pain
 How to Treat.
 Medical authorities state that nearly nine -tehths of the cases of stomach trouble. indigestion, .sourness. burning, gas. bloating, nausea. etc. are due to an excess of hydrochloric acid in the stomach and not. as some believe, to lack of digestive juices. The delicate, stomach lining is irritated, digestion Is d5sslaged. and food sours. causing the stomach sufferer knows so well.
 Artificial digestelts are not needed in such cases and may do real harm. Try laying aside all digestive aids and instead get from any druggist fevA ounceAof Bisurated Magnesia and take teaspoonful in a quarter glass of water right after eating. This sweetens the stomach, prevents the formation of excess acid and there is no sourness, gas or pain. Bisurated Magnesia Gin powder or tablet form-never liquid or milk) is harmless to the stomach, in- expensive to take and is the most ef- f1cfent form of magnesia for stomach purposes It is used by thousands of people who enjoy their meals with no more fear of indigestion.

The chief said that it appeared as if the whole family lived in that one room. There was no food in the place except half a loaf of bread, and that the place was really filthy. The chil- dren were very poorly clad, and pinch ed with cold and hunger.
 Gibbons declared that he was doing the best he could for his family and had bought three loaves of bread, half a peck of potatoes and some liver two days ago. He said he did jobbing here and there, and while he did not hang around saloons, he admitted that lie took a drink now and then, but had not been intoxicated while on pro- bation. At present he said he was employed by MT. Gentle in High street doing some outside painting. He said if he worked regularly at his regular work of painting and 2aper hanging he could earn $4 a, day.
 Judge Williams gave Gibbons a plain talk on the manner he had ne- glected his wife and children, and concluded by telling Gibbons that he was doing him good turn by sending him to the state workhouse for a term of one year.

Walter Gibbons For Failing to Provide For Family Given aYear in State Workhouse-Funeral of John G. Wilcox -Dr. Alfred Spicer, IT, Confirmed as Member of Board of Dental Registration.

Walter Gibbons was before Judge Oliver H. Williams in the Third Dis trict court, Friday, to answer to the charge of neglect to provide for his family, his wife and seven children, two of whom are of school age and the youngest less than one year old. One of them lives with grandparents, but the other six children, with the mother and father barely exist in a house located in Shady Lane. More than month ago when Gibbons was brought into court he promised to re- form and take proper care of his fam lily and was placed on probation, but he did not reform and his wife and children continued to suffer by lack of necessities of life.
 Police Chief Brown told the court, that there was no improvement in the conditions in the Gibbons abode since the accused was on. probation. He visited the place in the morning and it was a picture of destitution. There was no fire, but a small pile of soft coal on the kitchen floor which had been picked up from the trackside: and the smoky atmosphere and blackened ceiling and side walls indicated that coal of that kind had been burned in the stove in that unventi1ated room.
