ACIDS IN STOMACH
 CAUSE INDIGESTION
Create Gas, Sourness and Pain How to Treat

Medical authorities state that nearly nine-tenths of the cases of stomach trouble, indigestion. sourness, burning, gas, bloaling.. nausea. etc, are due to an excess of. hydrochloric acid in the stomach and not as some believe tc a lack of digestive juices. The delicate stomach lining is irritated, digestion is delayed and food sours, causing the disagreeabFe symptoms which every stomach sufferer knows so we'll.
 Artificial digestents are not needed in such cases and may do real harm. Try laying aside all digestive aids and instead get from any druggist a few ounces of Bisurated Magnesia and take a teasroonful in quarter, glass of water. right after eating. This sweet ems tho stomach, prevents the forma- tion of excess acid and there Is no sourness, gas or pain. Bisurated Mag nesia Gin powder or tablet form-never liquid or milk) is harmless to the the most efficient form of magnesia for stomach purposes It is used a, by Y meals with no more fear of indiges- tion.

 Fifty-five thousand words were hnadled one day in the Signal Corps Telegraph station at Brest The staff consists of chief operator and three operators.

JOSEPH STANLEY HAS ARM
 CRUSHED IN ROLLERS

Joseph Stanley of Union street, who is employed at the Norwich Woolen Company. had his left arm badly crushed on Wednesday when he caught it between the rollers of one of the large machines at the plant
 The young man was working on the machine and in some manner caught his hand between the rollers and be- fore the machine could be stopped his whole arm had been drawn into the machine as far asT the shoulder. If the machine tender had not stopped the machine when he did it is possible that Stanley would have been more seriously injured. The machine had to be taken apart before the arm,could be removed. The injured man was attended by Dr. C. c. Gildersleeve.
