Avoid Indigestion, Sour Acid Stomach,
 Heartburn, Gas On Stomach. Etc.

Indigestion and practically ali forms of stomach trouble. say medical au- thorities, are due nine times out of ten to an excess of hydrochl5ric acid in th a stomach. Chroni3 "acd stomach is exceedingly dangerous and sufferers should do either one of two, things.
 Either they can go on a limited and often disagreeable diet avoiding foods that disagree with them, tnsit ffritate the stomach and lead to excess acid secretion or they can eat as they please in reason and make it a practice to eounteract the effect of the harmful acid and prevent tAe format ton of gas. seurness or premature fermentation by the use of 2 little Bisurated Magtnesia at their meals.
 There is probably no better safer or more reliable stomach ahti-acid than
 Bisurated Magnesia. and it is widely
 used for this purpose It has no direct action on the stomach and is not a digestent. But teaspoonful of ths
 powder or a couple of five grain tab let's taken in a little water with tht food will neutraiize the excess aoidit3 which may be present and prevent it! further formation. This removes tht whole cause of the trouble and tn, meal digests naturally and healthtully without need of pepsin pills or, arti l feial digestents.

operation of the Maryland law has been followed with no little coieefhs Other states have seen the ddvisabii- ity of following a similar course and have done so. but it is of particular interest just now to note what Mary land has accomplished.
 Under its law 8 compulsory work bureau was established. That body has been in existence for a year and as the result of it's activities It's di- rector reports that 2.s31 idlers have been forced to find work. Or to accept work that was found for tHeH. This does not mean that this was done without effort on the part of the bu- reau just because the Jaw was on the statute books. Such was fict the caFe for the law had to be enforced and while there were 1884 who registered under the compulsion there were sSt cases where it was necessary to issue writs. The law thus appears to have done some good. How many 1t has prevented from lspsing into idleness there Is no telling but if it is able tc do what 1t has under war conditions there appears to be great oppertu- nity for 1t at all times. Thus it might as well be understood that the days of the loafer are past

A FIRM HAND NEEDED.

Announcement 10 the effect that President Wilson IS preparing a proc .amation dealing with the strike of the machinists In Bridgeport, which it is presumed will be suffi- c.ently broad 10 cover any other simi- lar attempt which may occur to lm- pede production of war necessities, must be regarded as timely action. However much it might have been hoped that such trouble would be ad- justed without such action. 1t is ap- parent that the strikers are not to he guided by reason and sound judgment They are insisting upon unfair de- mands and refusing 10 abide by their own agreement. Not only that but they arc. through the kind of leader ship which they have and the in- fluences which have been brought to hear upcn them. bringing down upon themselves the denunciation of or Fanized labor. That they are deter mined Co have their own way and to submit to the advice of none other than their local leader IS evidenced by the refusal to abide by the order of the national president Of the ma ch!nists directing them to return tc work within iS hours or be throwr out of the union.
 Every kind of an appeal which they have taken has shown them to be ir the wrong. They are refused assist. ance from machinists in other cities The war labor board supports the um. pire whose decision they have refused 10 accept, the sentiment of the coun. try is against them. IL is we'll tha they indicate a willingness to go tt work if the president SO orders. but i ls apparent that the time has cont when they must not only go to wori or fight but that a precedent must b. established in dealing with such em pioyes which will prevent other slmi lar industrial troubles in the future A firm hand is needed and it shoul' be applied

oesrRucroRs DENOUNCED.

As primaries continue to be held it is eonclusiyely disclosed that the peO- pie of the country. irrespective Of party, are determined that only those candidates for political office and those who are seeking nomination for seats in congress who measure up to the right standard of citizenship and loyalty can win such coveted honors t would be a sad situation were It otherwise, and while it was firmly be- l,eved that the voters would insist npon sucE requirements the results Of the primaries which have thus far been held in different states confirm that belief.
 The latest instances are those in H. linols and Georgia. In the former state Mayor Thompson Of Chicago, who received such widespread de- nunciation for the manner in which he has been displaying his leaning to- ward Germany ard things German, sought the nominal ton as United States senator against Medill McCor mick in the republican primaries. He hoped thereby to get an endorsement or his term as mayor of the Windy | City where as such he refused to ex- tend an invitation to the party of l General Joffre while ins his country and which he has referred to as the sixth largest German city in the world, Regardless of what Chicago with it's population partially sympa- ! thetic with his stand may have done | in his behalf Illinois has made if
 plain that he is unfit timber to rep resent that state.
 The democrats of Georgia have
 done the same thing regarding Sena. i tor Hardwiek. whose course in failins
 to support the administration has re.
 suited in his democratic opponent be. 1 ing chosen for his seat The action ii 1 each case must be regarded as right Only the loyal can expect recognition

veg, Baliin, and Kuhltiiann explains the fact that German diplomacy has hitherto avoided mentioning the F,len1- isa coast, the Suez canal, Egypt afad If1diAs V hen it is sought to make an afTangement with ahyb66J it is not logical to wound him in his most vital interests. But we suspected that the advent Of Hiritze signified the i1augu- ration of 8 new era in German diplo- macy and the employment of more energetic methods.
 The article then quotes the terfns of Hintze's speech, and proceeds:
 This declaration is as good as a declaration of in1placable hostility to- wards England. The brain of the British empire is in London, and ite large undulating body reaches as far as New Zealand. But the heart ot his immense body is in Egypt, in the Suez canal. If this canal is touched the whole of the empire will fall te pifces with crash If this were tt happen, the communications Of Eng land with India and with Australia would be cut, and the long voyag round the Cape of Good Hope would become necessary-the Cape of Goot Hope, which perhaps tomorrow mas become an independent Boer republic The words of Hintze, therefore, con stitute the greatest threat aSains England, and we can say that the wal between the two empires is one O life and death.
 Germany is the natural defender o the Moslem world, and in order [, maintain her great prestige among tn Moslems she must obtain the inde
 pendence of Egypt as she has obtasnei that of Persia and Afehanistan at tn conference of Brest Litovsk. And a the words of German diplonatists ar always carefully measured. we can b sure that the words of Hintze ar something more than mere words Gibraltar, Malta, Cyprus and Sue cannot remain under the exclusiv domination of England if the freedcn of the seas is to have any reality Il this direction the Germans are not enl working for their own benefit but ais 1 for the entire human race.

GIVING ENEMY NO REST.

According to the plan under which sener1l Foch Is directing the allied icrces along the western front. which plan by the way has not been re- reaied by the commander in chief ex- cept as he has seen the opportunity for striking a telling blow. he has no intention of standing before the Hin cenburg line and the temporary let ting un In activity there can be at trihuted to weather conditions and tho launching of another offensive further east. The purpose is unques- tionably to give the enemy no rest but to go forward. even as some Of - he German prisoners have urged. anl put an end to tie war by a decisive victory.
 This Is indicated by the move which is now underway for the ninching of sf the Mih'el salient, that abrupt bend .n the line to the east of Verdun which the Germans have clung tens- tiously Co since the early days of the var. To get possession of that anl Co throw a large force into the breach would seriously menace the enemy on
 
 ages a determination to push back the German line as it now stands be- tween Rheims and Nerdun
 For this purpose Franco American forces have been selected and for such an operation it IS believed tha; the American aru.- has been assem- hled as one unit and prepared for its work. 1T Germany has withdrawn any troops from this region to en. deavor to hold the Hindenb6rg line this new drive should reap the bene- ft thereof.

TO PRIVATE JIM M'MAHoN

Dear Mir McMahen: This is the first time I've written to a soldier, so don't know if it's right to call you MT. or what, but 1 hope you'lT excuse me if I don't use the right word.
 I certainly do remember saying I'd write to you so l don't think you're fresh a bit, and I was glad to get your letter as could be, but I guess you're just kidding me along and don't care really whether l white to you or not.
 We all went over to Flossy's the other night. but it was real slow and Stale. had kind of good time, but guess must have been tired or sornes
 thing, and l guess the others were,
 too, for we broke up early and nobody said anything about going again If you were kidding about wanting
 me to write to you. 1 hope you'll ans wer this real soon. It makes it awful interesting to get letters from A sol- dier when you never wrote to one be- fore. I hope you can read this. My handWriting's something fierce. Your true friend. GRACE BROWN. Dear Mir. McMahon:
 started to write Jim and then thought maybe you'd think it was kind of funny if I did, and so I didn't do it. But, honest, feel like I'd known ydu an awful long time and not a bit like wed just met half dozen times, so l if you'd like to call me Grace I'd just as soon you did, and if you want me to I'll call you Jim and then we'll be even!
 I was awful interested in what you said about you and your chun going
 out to visit those friends of his. Have you been out there again? I've al- ways heard southern girls were awful nd Inf of fal1 1rn the way they talk, but I can't say ever saw any that I thought was any prettier than some of the girls in Chi cago--Flossy, for instance. 1 think she's swell looking.
 | Well Jim (you see, I'm starting in without waiting for you to say Wheth- CT you want me to or not), I hope you'll write real soon and tell me what you do when you have leave and where
 you go and everything. We'll, so long. 1 Your true friend. GRACE. l Dear Jim:
 Your letter came all right and I was
 awful glad to get it. though I had be- gan to think you wasn't going to write
 any more, but I suppose you're busy most of the time drilling and all and 1 then when you have some spare time I suppose you have to go to see those i southern girls. Why don't you tel ] me some mere about them?
 Pm writing this at the office and ought to be working and 50 I'll have
 to quit. I hope you're well and stil
 having a good time. Yours, Grace, 1 Dear MT. McMahon:
 Your letter came all right, but don't know what you mean hy no losing any time answering when vol waited three whole days I guess vol don't take much interest in our core
 spondence any more and so I don think you'd better take up the tint

MORE AMERICANS IN RUSSIA.

More American troops are reaching Russia not only at time wheil they are likely to see plenty of excitement but when they ought to be able to be of much service in helping to straighten out the tangled situation in that country. These troops which have been sent in by the way of Archangel, and taken from among those which have been in Europe, have apparently been selected with particular regard for the kind of work which they are to perform and with due regard for the climatic con- ditions to be encountered.
 Winters in northern Russia are diff ferent from what they are further south and it can be appreciated that men who are used to a vigorous cold season, and those who can talk Rus sian or have some knowledge of the language, are bound to be invaluable in connection with any campaign in that region
 According to reports which are conn ing out of Russia conditions were never more chaotic there than at the present time. There is a determined struggle by the bolskeyik leaders to continue to hold the reins of govern nient and the opposition which they are encountering is growing so con stantly that the bolshevili are not stopping at anything in the way o1 terror as they stand with their backs to the wall The success of the Czecho- -S,ovaks through the assist ance given them bs the allies, botf in the east and in the north. and tfe friendly reception which the allies are receiving from the pkasantty. make i evident that the reinf5feemenJs arc arriving at an important roint and a vital time for accomplishing th best results.

OTHER VIEW POINTS

By a strange irony, the champion dog -hater of Connecticut appears to be the man who occupies the post of
 Commissioner of Domestic Animals.
 The dog is a domestic animal, and the
 Commissioner has more power over
 the dogs (apd through them, their
 owners) than ever cZar or kaiser and
 he is using that power more despoti- cally than ever the czar or kaiser Whether he means it or not, he is
 pushing through a brutal program
 that carried to it's conclusion will
 mean the extinction of every pet dog in the state of Connecticut.
 Some people think that the Com missioner's programme is deliberate
 and intended. Others think that he does not realize what he is doing. But to the dogs-or their owneTs-his mo- tives do not make much real differ ence,-the effect is the same.
 Now, if the Commissioner held an elective office, and he were now com ing before the public for reelection. we should guarantee him certain sup l port. lie would get the votes: Of every sneak thief; of every burglar; 1 of every tramp; of every ruffian of every second story worker; of every yegg- man; of indicators in general, and in particular those human beings with warped minds, who. seem to eX- i trae most poisonous and perverted pleasure out of the infiction of any I kind of torment on any dumb animal, | brute, beast, or even on such of their
 own kind as are unfortunate enough to
 fall under their power.
 Some dogs may be nuisances-a pe- i culiarity which they share with hu- man beings. Some dogs are pariahs and outcasts - again, a pecuiiarity which they share with their human
 masters. though in this case it must l be said in their favor of the eutcast
 and pariah dog, that he is what he is i 999 times out of 1000 because of con-
 ditions which were forced upon him
 and not, as in the case of so many hu- man beings-by deliberate choice and constitutional evilness. = Bridgeport Standard American.

Of course; I know I'm not

 for us to write to each other. Of course, I don't think there's any req
 son why we shouldn't be friends just the same, but don't want you to keep on writing to me when it just bores you. You wouldn't want to, would you?
 Yours very truly, GRACE. Dear Jim: If I'd of known it was going to hurt your feelings wild horses couldn't have made me write to you about not writing to me any more, just love to get your letters and I pretty near cried myself sick after 1 mailed mine and thought maybe I'd never hear from you again.

 over that night all the young folks was there and we went out in the l Kitchen and made fudge and you stayed out there with me and helped 1 pick up the dishes when all the others | went back into the living room and

 and gentiemanlls a-1. yet so jolly and
 everything. And, Jim. I never sup posed for an instant you really cared anything about me except just as { l friend, and I thought you were crazy about that southern girl because yoi wouldn't ever tell anything about het except that. she made you think of 7 1 beautiful flower, and 1 do think

 can be and I wouldn't blame you bi ! if you fell for one of them. only you won't, will you, Jim because if vol did 1t would just break my heart, bu I want you to be happy, Jim, and i you like that girl better than you d' me I want you to marry her and b. just as happy.
 But I know you don't like her tn best, because you wouldn't have writ ten what you did to me if you had because I know you're not that kin, of a fellow. And you've just got t come back Jim, when the wars fin
 ished, because I'd die if you didn't an, II didn't suppose 1 could ever like
