bumpers of the mail and baggage cars,
Officer William Fox of the police force
was waiting on the west side Of the

came to a stop and hurriedly made his
way up over the embankment to the
sidewalk on Rines hill. continuing his
flight up over the hill at rate that
would have done credit to a Marathon

over the hill. but the hobo had too
much Of start and the officer. after
firing two shots in the al from his au-
tomato which only accelerated the
speed Of the "bo," gave up the chase.

To stop or prevent this souring of the
food contents OF the stomach and to
neutralize the acid. and make it bland
and harmless. teaspoonful of bsurat-
ed magnesla. a good ana effective cor

IN quarter of a glass of hot or cold
water after eating or whenever gas.

PATRIOTIC FESTIVAL
RED CROSS Benefit

While the primary purpose of the
Festival which is tor be held Thurs
day evening, June q, on the State
House lawn is patriotic rather than
social it promises nevertheless to he
one of the most enjoyable events of
the year The State House employees
under whose auspices the Festival is
10 be held, realize that they are be-
ing criticized in some quarters for
turning the State Capitol into a
playhouse" This criticism. however,
comes only from sources from which
nothing else is to be expected and by
no means voices public sentiment.
The State House Associates, Inc, find
justification in the fact that the en-
tire proceeds of the festival are to be
devoted to one of the greatest war
needs possible-the Red Cross--the
particular H-7-.. .<-:-. Icing the Sur
ncal Dressing Glass of the local
chapter.
All of the State House Departments
are unusually busy at this particular
period and the time and labor neces-
sary in the preparation of this event
in nearly every case means a per
sonal sacrifice. The Festival, how
ever, is not for enjoyment or for the
personal gain of any Of the Associ-
ates. This is time when no one
has a right to think entirely of self
and all sacrifices by those at home
pale into insignificance in comparison
with the much greater sacrifices made
by those who stand ready to offer up
their lives if need be.
| The preparations for the big event
have entered upon the final stages
and the ships carpenter" com
menced work Monday morning on the
erection of the various booths which
are to be located throughout :he
Capitol grounds. Every department
in the State House will have some
sort of an exhibit representing in as
far as possible its particular branch
Extensive plans have been made fo1
the decoration and illumination OF
the grounds and the committee is
looking for the largest crowd which
ever assembled about the State
House.

chorus of so voices directed by Lester

the program will he held after hours
every afternoon Of this week and with
the training gained last winter

tire occasion. Buglef c. a. Downes

Naval Reserve, will demonstrate the

ira from Fort Mckinley will render
martial airs during the evenings pro

"Alimony." the story OF an unwant-
ed wife, is a photopiay by Hayden
Talbot. an old court reporter. and is
based on celebrated divorce case
which was a national newspaper SEN
sation a few years ago. The story
shows how crooked divorce lawyers
operate-how they trump up evidence
which breaks hearts, disrupts homes
and orphans children. Most of the
victims of these legal vultures are
wealthy and usually settle the ali
mony claims to avoid the notoriety of
a trial. The methods of Elijah Stone.
in this photoplay, are typical and, I'M
til seen. almost unbelievable. He is
first employed by Mrs. Flint, who is
tired Of her wealthy husband. to get
a divorce with alimony. Once free
she is spurned by a young man she
loves and In revenge conspires with
her lawyer to get him married to
young girl so that they can involve
him in divorce plot and ruin him.
But the girl proves a tartar and
thereby hangs the tale.
