Proper Food For Weak StOmachs.
The proper food for one man may
be all wrong for another. Every one
should adopt a diet suited to his age
and occupation. Those who have
weak stomachs need to be especially
careful and should eat slowly and
masticate their food thoroughly. 1t
is also important that they keep
their bowels regular. When they
become constipated or when they
feel dull and stupid after eating, they
should take Chamberlain's Tablets
to strengthen the stomach and move
the bowels. They are easy to take
and pleasant In effect. Adv

Web Belts Prove Value

Washington, May 2S.-Through
the use of light web ammunition
belts, American and British infan-
trymen carry 100 more rounds of
rifle ammunition than their German
opponents with leather belts.
This seemingly unimportant part
of equipment has resulted in the re-
pulse of superior enemy forces on
more than one occasion, says a
statement issued by the ordnance
bureau.
With his web belt the American
soldier carried zoo rounds of ammu-
milton disposed so that every car
fridge is easily accessible. The Ger
man soldier carries but 100 rounds.
