Asks Pastors Return

Enola, Pa, March 19.-The Enola
Methodist Episcopal Church, of
which the Rev. L. NJ. Aller is pas
tor, has closed the most successful
year in its history from Il financial
standpoint, nearly $4,000 having
been contributed for all church pur-
poses. This. of course, does not in
clude the numerous gifts to the Red
Cross, Y. NJ. c. A, etc. For the first
time in the history of the church,
all apportionments for the mission
airy and other benevolent enterprises
of the church have been met in full.
The pastors report to conference to-
tails $961; this in view of the fact
that debt of S1,5S7.5O on the par
sonage was liquidated and all other
local interests provided for, and is
splendid showing. The congrega-
tions have been we'll sustained and
the Sunday school is in a healthy
condition. The present pastor is in
vited back for another year at a sal
airy of $1,000.
The Rev. Mr.. Aller left yesterday
afternoon for Williamsport TO at
tend the conference of the Metho-

Rumors Draw Crowds

Great interest attached to the
meeting owing to a report that there
was divergence in views on some
of the main questions to be dis
cussed. Great crowds gathered to
witness the arrival of the heads of
the various governments.
Lord Sumner and Norman Davis,
the British and American financial
experts. were also called in. To-
ward the close of the meeting two
of the Japanese delegates. Baron
Maxine and Niscount Chinda. ar
rived and talked with Colonel
House, but did not join in the con-
ference. The Japanese desired to
know when the League of Nations
Commission would resume its ses-
sion, as they wished again to offer
an amendment terminating racial
discrimination. Their purpose to re-
new their offer of the amendment
was not accompanied by any intima-
ton of insistenCe to the point of re-
fusing to accept the treaty without
the amendment.
Hear Ncutrals Tomorrow
Their views will be heard later,
after the neutrals have been given
a hearing. which was fixed for
o'clock Thursday afternoon.
In the course of the conference
Lloyd George made known the fact

TELLS DYSPEPTICS
WHAT TO EAT
Avoid Indigestion, Sour Acid stomach,
Heartburn, Gas On stomach, Etc.

Heartburn, Gns On stomach, Etc.
Indigestion and practically all
forms of stomach trouble. say medi-
cal authorities, are due nine times
out of ten to an excess of hydro
chloric acid in the stomach. Chronic
"acid stomach" is exceedingly danger
Gus and sufferers should do either
one of two things.
Either they can go on limited and
often disagreeable diet, avoiding
foods that disagree with them, that
irritate the stomach and lead to eX-
cess acid secretion or they can eat
as they please in reason and make il
a practice to counteract the effect of
the harmful acid and prevent the for
nation of gas, sourness or premature
fermentation by the use of a little
Bisurated Magnesia at their meals.
There is probably no better safer
or more reliable stomach antiacid
than Bisurated Magnesia and it is
widely used for this purpose. 1t has
no direct action on the stomach and
is not a digestent. But a teaspoonful
of the powder or a couple of five grain
tablets taken in a little water with
the food will neutralize the excess
acidity which may be present and
prevent its further formation. This
removes the whole cause of the
trouble and the meal digests natur-
ally and healthfully without need of
pepsin pills or artificial digestents.
Get few ounces of Bisurated Mag
nesia from any reliable druggist. Ask
for either powder or tablet. 1t
never comes as a liquid, milk or
citrate and in the bisurated form is
not a laxative. Try this plan and
eat what you want at your next meal
and see if this isn't the best advice
you ever had on what to eat" G. A.
Gorgas.
