DYSPEPTIC STOMACHS
NEED A
MAGNESIA BATH
To Wash Out or Neutraiize the
Dangerous Stomach Acids Which
Make Food Ferment and Sour
and Cause Indigestion.

When your stomach hurts-is sour,
sick. upset and gassy with indigestion,
heartburn and dyspepsia, don't swallow
pills or drugs which only artificially
digest your food and weaken the natur-
al powers Of digestion. Keep your
stomach clean and sweet like you keep
your bowels clean by flushing It oc-
casionally with a real internal bath of
blsurated magnesia to neutralige the
dangerous excess Of acid IN your ston-
ach. sweeten the sour fermenting food
contents-stop all the pain and discom-
fort Of dyspepsia and make natural di-
gestion easy. Physicians agree thai
fully nine-tenths of all digestive disor-
ders and stomach misery is caused by
the development IN the stomach OF too
much acid This acid must be kept
neutraiized and harmless they say or
trouble will surely follow.
1t isn't necessary to dlet-you can
eat what you want IN reason; but get
from any druggist few ounces of
pure powdered bisurated maGnesia and
take a teaspoonful in a glass of water
before each meal for a few days and
There will be no sonrness. no stomach
gas or heartburn. no full. heavy feel
ing in the stomach. no headaches, grip
ing stomach pains. dizyinsss or bad
breath. For Bisurated MaEnesia will
give your stomach just what It needs
tralize the poisonous acids which are
souring and fermenting your food and
irritating and inflaming your stomach
Bisurated Magnesia is the only form,
of magnesia you should use for this
purpose 1t is not expensive, is not a
laxative and In the bisurated form will
not inJure the stomach. 1t comes only
in powder form and tablets. Try IL and
forget you ever were troubled with
Dyspepsia or tndiK

GRANDMOTHER WAS
THE DRUGGIST

In the early days OF our country
grandmother was the druggist. and
her drugs consisted mostly Of roots
and herbs gathered from the fields and
forests. There was peppermint for In.
digestion, mullen for coughs. skull-cap
for nervousness, thoroughwort for
colds, NORWOOD for bruises and
sprains and SO on. They were sue
cessful remedies. too. It was from q
combination Of such roots and herbs
that Mrs. Lydia e. Pinkham Of Lynn,
Mass, more than forty years ago,
originated her now famous Vegetable
Compound: and during all these long
years no other remedy has ever been
discovered to restore health to ailing
women so successfully as this good
old-fashioned root and herb medicine.

British Aviators Awaiting q Call 70.
minded American Newspaper Cor
respondent Of eeilhops.

We strolled, as we talked, into q
long shed, with a board table along ito
center, a telephone desk In the cor
ner and many maps on the plain board
walls-the regulation appearance Of
a headquarters. A bench a down
one side Of the room, and on it sat
seven or eight lean, blond, clean cut
British youths in khaki. It was the
watch, waiting on call against emer-
gencies Of the air.
Phil Simms, being an American and
therefore of witty Imagination, smiled.
"Bellhops, waiting for a call to z &c."
he whispered. The row Of aviators, be-
Ing Brftons and shy, shifted their legs
and looked embarrassed. But one rose
from the bench and approached the
captain, saluting. He was breathing
heavily and his eyes were bloodshot.
"Oh-you've just landedW said the
captain easily. "Had a fight, didn't
your F..
"Yes, SIR" said the boy all in a
breath. Squad Of four German planes
attacked me and Brown-Jones. (Ths
name, Of course, is d~isguised.) My gun
damned after three shots, and I had
to hurry back. Brown-Jones brought
one down, I think. At least he ap-
peared to be out of control when he
dropped into the cloud below"
"Oh-er-Brown-Jones back?"
mo, sir. But I saw him crossing
u lines behind me-"
Engine trouble, 1 suppose. Doubt
less We'll hear from him later. What
about the other three Huns?"
"They showed evidences Of extreme
terror, sir"
every we'll"
The boy settled back onto the bench,
where he nonchalantly borrowed a
cigarette from his neighbor.
Just let your imagination play on
this, as mine did. Back from a fight

The. Snake Swallow.
ing The Mule Alive

The Appeal to Reason, the national
weekly Socialist organ of propogan:a
which recently announced its deter
.mination to support the administra-
tion,rejoices with great ferver over
President Wilson's seizure Of the rail-
roads. The Appeal says:
"Anew era is dawning. Govern
ment ownership and operation Of the
principal industries is in sight. What
we have been fighting for for a score
of years is coming to pass"
The Appeal says that government
ownership Of the railroads has come
to stay, and that it will be succeeded
by government ownership Of other in
dustries. The Appeal declares that
next the coal and steel industries will
be taken over. and with the three
principal industries nationally owned,
the advancement of civilization will
be inevitable. AS Jack London
once said: "The revolution is on:
stop it who can"
For three years this paper ha sheen
predicting that the Socialist snake
would swallow the Democratic jack
ass. We have already passed from
the stage Of spreading saliva to the
point where the mules ears have gone
down the snakes outlet, and with the
ears down, the rest is a small gulp.
