SWEETEN ACID
STOMACH THIS
PLEASANT WAY

When there's distress two hours
after eating-heartburn, indigestion,
gas-suspect excess acid.
The best way to correct this Is
with an alkali. Physicians prescribe
Phillips Milk of Magnesia.
A spoonful of Phillips Milk OF
Magnesia in glass of water neu-
tralizes many times its volume in
excess acid; and does it at once. To
try it is to be through with crude
methods forever.
Be sure to get genuine Phillips
Milk of Magnesia. All drugstOres
have the generous 25c and soc
bottles. Full directions in package.

of cOlOred troops, formed the connect

and the American First armies. posi-
ton which would place it in the fore
front of the attack.
But there was one soldier In that
outfit who had no delusions of grandeur
about the part he was going to play
in the historic encounter which was
to be fought on the morrow. The
night before the battle the following
conversation, according to Thomas
M. Johnson, war correspondent of the
New York Sun, took place between
two members of the Three Hundred
and Sixty-eighth:
First Negro Soldier-Well. guess

Old Spanish Dance

There seems to be some confusion
in regard to the English equivalent of
the Spanish Zapateada. Professor
Shields says that Zig" comes nearest
to expressing 1t, as IT Is solo dance.

The Litany of the Poilu

The Germans had their Hymn OF
any of the Poilu." And that may have
had something to do with the final
outcome of the war. 1t was a trench
jest which is said to have originated
somewhere along the Aisne, bit Of
humor which helped break the strain
and suspense of waiting under she'll
fire. Could there be more perfect
philosophy for the soldier than this:
"Of two things, one is certain:
Either you are modified, or you are
not modified.
eff you are not modified. there is
no need to worry; if you are mobil-
lied. of two things one is certain:
Either you're behind the lines, or
you're on the front.
IF you're behind the lines, there is
no need to worry; if you're on the
front. of two things one is certain:
Either you're resting in a safe place,
or you're exposed to danger.
eff you're resting in safe place,
there is no need to worry; if you're
exposed to danger. of two things one
is certain: Either you're wounded. or
you're not wounded.
"If you're not wounded. there is no
need to worry; if you're wounded, of
two things one is certain: Either
you're wounded seriously, or you're
wounded slightly.
''If you're wounded slightly, there Is
no need to worry; if you're wounded
seriously, of two things one is GER
tain: Either you recover. or you die.

to worry; if you die, you can't worry"

AKRON, Ohio, August 22.-Delay
fer several days of the first fight of

nounced tonight by the Goodyear
Zeppelin Corporation because Of need
for minor changes to give greater

Wednesday.
Decision to postpone the launching
was reached at conference of naval
and Goodyear-Zeppelin officials.
The ship during the day was subjected
to O series of "sagging" and thogging''
tests with large weights hung al the
bow and stern and more than 100 tons
Of water placed in its tanks. Some 40
tests were made altogether.
The Goodyear-zeppeiin Corporation
had hoped 70 be able 70 report readiness
for the first flight the latter part OF the
coming week" the corporations state
Inent said.
The incorporation Of changes will
mean several days delay beyond that
time. Tests have disclosed opportunities
for building greater localized strength
into the ship at certain points, and fol-
lowing q conference with the Navy to-
day, decision was made to incorporate
some notifications TO this end"
The purposed changes weke not de-
tailed by the ships builders or the
naval offlcials.

that has long hung over lonely trappers
