 Cause of Indigestion.

F A well known authority states that stomach trouble and indigestion are nearly always due to acidity-acid stomach-and not, as most folks be- lieve, from lack of digestive juices. He states that an excess of hydro chloric acid in the stomach retards digestion and starts food fermenta- ,tion. then our meals sour like garba ge in can. forming acrid fluids and gases which initiate the stomach like a toy balloon.

FINAL CONDITIONS OF ARM|ST|CE WILL BE

Will Seek Demolition of Forts on
 Helg0lard and Kiel Canal.

London, Feb. 18.-(B British Wireless Service)-The final armistice condi- tions which the supreme council is considering will be made public before the end of the month according to various newspapers and they will in- clude among the naval conditions the demolition of the forts on Helgoland and the Kiel canal the surrender for purposes of destruction of the Ger man warships now interned and the opening of the Kiel canal for civil transports. It is stated that Ger many will be left fleet large enough for defensive purposes.
 Describes Fort.
 The naval correspondent of the Daily Mail, writing of the strong for tifications on the island of Helgoland, says:
 "The summit of the island is one immense bombproof, and the batteries are so placed as to be invisible from the sea. The heavy guns there-11- inch and 124inch waapons-probably were reinforced during the war by 15- inch guns. The guns are mounted on steel turrets of great thickness. All the batteries and observations posts are connected by subterranean pas sages and the roads leading up to them run along galleries whi$h are she'll proof.
 Long Range Guns.
 "The guns are mounted after the usual German fashion to give them an immense range, probably from ten to twelve and a half sea miles. To en- able the island to stand the concussion of their discharge and resist fire di- rected against it, 6,O00,0OO pounds is said to have been spent before 1910, and, subsequently, other large sums were allotted.
 "The immense seaplane sheds are said to have been of the disappearing type, which could be lowered as pro- tection against long range fire. There are store shops and repair works with all the usual equipment of a na- val base. The Notifications presum- ably will be blown up, but their de-

How is it done?
 The Pads and Fancies will tell you all about it at the Orpheo today and tomorrow.
 Some time ago, Bryant Washburn read a splendid story in the Satur- day Evening Post, and it impressed him greatly.
 "There's a story want to do on the screen," said Bryant enthusiastic ally. "I can just see that character, Arthur McArney, the $21 week clerk. want to play him."
 The result was that the Famous Players-Lasky Corporation bought the picture lights from Ida M. Evans and that Bryant Washburn has had the pleasure of Interpreting the character. And it really is the best thing Washburn ever did-yet, even better than his famous "Skinner's Dress Suit"
 '~ It introduces Arthur McArney, a S21 week clerk, as the chief figure, and shows his romance with Elsa Owenson, an extravagant blonde lit. tie stenographer. Arthur -McArney is shown as very ordinary young man, satisfied with his weekly wage until the expensive Elsa comes into his life. Then he has to hustle to- corral enough money to show her a good time. and from this situation the story develops to a charming and uneX- perted ending.
 Bryant Washburn is at his best as the young clerk. Wanda Hawley plays Elsa Owenson, and Fred Goodwins, who has done excellent work in recent Paramount Pictures. appears as Bick Olsen. McArney's chum. Others who play important roles are Bessie Eyton, Clarence Geldart, Jay Dwiggins, Bill ly Elmer and James Neill.

MAKE COMMUNITY FIT

Ready made programs for rural
communities are not likely to work,
says Dean A. r. Mann OF the New
York State College of Agriculture, in
warning against set formulas by which
all the varied problems of rural COM
munity life may be solved. AS Dean
Mann puts it, mo program manufacs
tured on the outside by an overhead
organization and sold to the rural
community ready-made and set up Is
likely to go. 1t must spring out OF
the local conditions and be geared up
to meet these conditions" He points
out that the social responsibilities of
individuals and Of communities are
related. 1t is necessary to make men
fit to live In the community with 9th
er men, and also to make the commu-
nifty fit for men to live in. Dean
Mann believes we are now in the or
ganization stage in country life. He
thinks this is the most conspicuous
tendency among farmers OF the pres
ent day. Any program for rural so
cial betterment must be elastic and
adaptable to varying conditions. "In
dealing with rural affairs ii has long
been a common mistake to under-rate
the validity of the farmers own judg.
ment q, to what is good for him"
Rural organization, in his opinion, lis
organized self help under the guidance
Of united judgment of the people who
dwell together for the attainment of
improved conditions Of life-economic,
educational, social and civic condi-
tons"
