TELLS DYSPEPTICS
WHAT TO EAT
Avoid Indigestion, Sour Acid Stomach,
Heartburn, Gas ON Stomach, Etc.

Indigestion and practically all forms
of stomach trouble. say medical authors
ties. are due nine times out of ten to an
excess of hydrochloric acid in the stom-
ach. Chronic '.acid stomach" is exceed
ingly dangerous 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 iriitate the
stomach and lead to excess acid secre-
tion or they can eat as they please in rea-
son and make it practice to counteract
the effect OF the harmful acid and pre-
vent the formation of gas. sourness or
little Bisurated Magnesa at their meals.
There Is probably no better, safer or
more reliable stomach anti-acid than
Bisurated Magnesia and it Is widely used
for this purpose. 1t has no direct action
on the stomach and is not n digestent.
But a teaspoonful of the powder or a
couple of five grain tablets taken in n
little water with the food will neutralize
the excess acidity which may be present
and prevent its further formation. This
removes the whole cause Sof the trouble
and the meal digests naturally and health
fully without need of pepsin pills or arti-
fetal digestents.
Get few ounces of Bisurated Magnesia
from any reliable druggist. Ask for
either powder or tablets. 1t never comes
as 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 ad-
vice you ever had on what to eat."-Adv

u. s. Hay Grades !.
To Be Demonstrated
10 Maine Shippers

"Oftentimes complaint II made By
both farmers and shippers Of hay
that they do not know what quota
Hons mean and part Of this difficulty
comes through a misunderstanding
of grades and grade terms, said
Charles NJ. White. chief Of the divi-
sion of markets Of the State Depart
nent Of Agriculture, Thursday
Recently the United States De-
partmeHt of Agriculture has promul-
lated grades applicable to all kinds
OF hay grown I'm the United States"
continued Mr.. White. 1.-The next
question is to know the proper in
depreciation Of these grades. The
Maine Department of Agriculture
has been fortunate in securing the
services OF a licensed inspector TO
demonstrate the grades during the
entire week Of March II.
"This work will be carried on
every day during that week at the
storehouse Of Robert s. Thomas,
near the Cumberland Center rail-
road station. The hours will be from
o to IL A. NJ. and 100 to L. NJ.
IAN interesting feature OF these
grades is that the quality is largely
determined by the color OF the grass
leaves and the presence Of different
varieties of grasses. A great deal OF
research was necessary to arrive at
these various definitions. and the
shippers and handlers of hay will be
given the chance of seeing practical
application Of these grades to large
lots of hay I'm the storehouse.
by consultation with the inter-
csted parties, the department VIII
then be able to determine whether
the United States grades should be
promulgated for State grades or not,
and also whether shippers would
wish to have an inspection service
established which would determine
the grade Of his hay before 1t leaves
the shipping stations and provide
them with q certificate which would

LIFE IN NoRTHWooDS LUMBER

DEPICTED
"The Man from GIengarry" Actually
Filmed in Canadian WIds on
Scene of OriujnaI Story

Lovers Of the great outdoors have a
real treat in store for them in Ernest
Shipman's super-production. 1.-THE Man
from Glengarry." an adaptation of
Ralph Connors famous story of the
timbcrlands, which comes to the
Opera House today. There are prob
ably few people in the United States
who haven't thrilled at Ralph Con-
nor's The Man from Glengarry"
There is certain fascination about life
in the lumber camps and its attendant
dangers and hardships. and there is
no more picturesque figure than a
brawny lumberjack engaged in the
precarious occupation of Telling trees.
riding logs and blowing up jams. 1t
is a vocation that makes for strength
and hardihood.
The popularity of Ralph Connors
famous book has been due to his real
istic portrayal of this fascinating
phase of Canadian life. And no effort
or expense has been spared in the pro-
duction of the photo-drama to retain
this same atmosphere. In order to
accomplish this, it was necessary to
secure the use of an enormous lumber
camp where the operations of cutting
trees. dragging them to the river and
finally floating them down to the mills
could be filmed.
The selection Of the cast was also
problem of no mean dimensions. To
achieve the proper effect and secure a
cast that could go through with the
strenuous and difficult roles assigned
to them, it was necessary to procure
artists not only of great dramatic
ability, but those who could adapt
themselves readily to the perilous task
