No man or woman who suffers from
acid indigestion or dyspepsia can make
a mistake by giving their stomach an
occasional internal bath with little
hisurated magnesia, says well known
authority. Ninety per cent of al diges-
tive disorders are caused by acid stom-
ach." Nature provides hydrochloric
acid as one of the digestive fluids but
q great many stomachs generate too
much acid which irritates and inflames
the stomach walls and causes partially
digested food to sour and ferment.
Thus the stomach while fundamen entally
all right develops gas, wind and the
plain commonly mistaken for indiges-
tion.
This harmful. poisonous excess acid
in the stomach should be neutralized
before it works its way into the blood
and is carried all over the body. The
moment your stomach burns or feels
sour or the food you eat begins to hurt
get a few ounces of Bisurated Magnesia
from any reliable druggist and take a
teaSpoonful in a little water. Relief
comes in five minutes by the watch
The Bisurated Maenesia washes down
into your acid-inflamed and burning
stomach and soothes and cools the
heated walls and takes up neutral
ICES every trace of excess acid present
much as piece of blotting paper or
sponge might do. Every symptom of
stomach distress vanishes and natural,
easy, painless digestion follows.

LOCAL GIRL TELLS

Miss Caroline Smith, Richmond girl,
who Is doing clerical work in Wash

Museum building. In writing to friends
here Miss Smith says:
THE Military and Naval division of
the Bureau of War Risk Insurance is
stationed here.
I'VE are handling the claims of dis
charged soldiers and Of widows, chill
dren and widowed mothers OF the de-
ceased soldiers. When read some of
the letters written by the mothers of
the soldiers who have given their lives
for their country, it makes me realize
how little am doing for mine.
Il understand people have the inn
preston girls come here to take gov
ernment positions and after wander
forced to return home for want Of a
place to stay. That is because the
girls do not know where to apply for
rooms and not because OF the scarcity
of rooms. In every department of the
government service is a bureau whose
business it is to find rooms for the
girls coming here to take positions.
The war department has a wonder
full organization for that purpose.
There is also an organization under
the supervision of the Council of Ma
tional Defense, called the City Regis
