FORMER DUCHESS
DEFENDS FRANCE
ConSuelo Vanderbilt BalSan
Says Ingratitude Charge
Is BaSeIeSS.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. September 13.-In
letter from Mrs. Consuelo Vanderbilt
Balsan. which, the New York; Herald
publishes today. the former Duchess
of Marlborough, daughter of Mrs. Q,
II. p. Belmont and the late w. X. Van
dernIt. defends the attitude of the
people Of France toward the United
States. Her letter was prompted by
an interview with Peter Knight of
Tampa. Fla, which the paper printed
recently on his return from a tour
abroad.
Mrs. Balsan and her husband,
Jacques Balsan. noted French sports
man. now are visiting her mother on
Long Island
After recitinG that she had lived in
France for five years and asserting
her observations were unbiased by po-
litical considerations, Mrs. Balsan
wrote:
Il cannot doubt Mr.. knights state
ment that he had not found a single
FrenChman who was willing to give
America the slightest credit for her
part in the war, can only deplore
the fact that the Frenchmen he met
and talked to misrepresented the
feelings of their countrymen.
- happened TO be motoring in
day. In every town and village
through which we passed l saw the
Stars and Stripes together with the
tri-color. In every town and city l
drove down Avenue President Will
SON or Boulevard des Etats Unis.'
Are these signs Of the ingratitude Of
the people?
France will never forget what
America has done said NJ. Clemen-
ceau when speaking on behalf of the
nation in the chamber of deputies.
He announced that the allies could
not have won the war without the
help of the United States. They arc
words that have greeted me on every
side and they arc not spoken for po-
litical reasons when said from woman
to. woman"

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 trou-
BILE indigestion. sourness, burning, gas,
bloatinz, nausea, etc, are due to an ex-
cess of hydrochloric acid in the stomach
and not sa some believe to a lack of di-
gestive juiSos. The delicate stomach lin
ing is irritsted. digestion is delayed and
food sours, causing the disagreeable
symptoms which every stomach sufferer
knows so well.
Artificial digestants are not needed In
such cases and may do real harm. Try
laying aside all digestive aids and instead
get from any druggist few ounces of
Bisurated Msgnesia and take a teaspoon
ful in quarter glass of water right after
eating. This sweatens the stomach. pre-
vents the formation of excess acid and
there is no sourness, gas or pain.
Bisurated Magnesia lin powder or tablet
form--never liquid or milk is harmless
to the stomach, inexpensive TO take and
is the most efficient form OF magnesia for
stomach purposes. 1t is used by thou
sands Of people who enjoy their meals
with no more fear OF indigestion

DEMAND FOR SPOT
COTTON IS ACTIVE
Downturn In Prices During Week
Due To Foreign News
Reports

NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 5.-Fair-
ly wide changes were made by prices
in the cotton market last week, the
trading positions moving over
range of 80 to Ill points. At the
highest, the active months were SO
to AZ points over the close of the
preceding week, while at the lowest
they were 43 to 70 points under. The
net results Oh the close of tae week
were gains of IS to ,35 points. March
traded up to 27.S3 cents a pound aft
re having traded as low as 27.77
and closed at 27.78. In the spot de-
partment prices closed. net unchang-
ed on middling at $500 cents
pound, which price compared with
1915 on the close of this week last
year. Down turnssof the week were
mainly due to unfavorable political
news, the trade finding reasons for
selling both in the situation in Ger
many and in the ability of the Allies
to come to terms with Turkey. Up
turns were caused mainly by good
spot demand and extremely lkSnt of
ferings, not only in this market but

Considerable attention was paid to
kilograms from Texas 10 the effect
that many cotton counties of that
state did not have bale of unsold
cotton left. At one stage it was re-
pored that japanese interests were
IN the ocean freight market for LARGE
amounts of room for sailings as far
ahead as the end of April.
Increased interest was taken in the
new crop outlook and evidence of ex-
tenslve preparation already accom-
pllshed and the quite general desire
to increase acreage wherever labor
conditions would allow, held new
crop values down, October at no time
making as wide advances as were
scored by the old crop position. At
the end of the week, however, there
was some little buying following a
private bureau forecast that the
acreage over the entire belt on the
average would be 4 per cent smaller
than that of last year. It was un-
derstood that by this it was meant
that the labor shortage in central .nJ
eastern portions Of the belt woulJ
