Let's be frank-there's only one

the waste material that causes acid
ity, gas, headaches, blOated feelings
and a dozen other discomfOrts.
Your intestines must function and
the way to make them move Quicks
ly, pleasantly, successfully, without
gripping or harsh irritants Is to chew
a Milnesia Wafer thoroughly, in acs
cordance with directions on the bot
tie or tin, then swallow.
Milnesia Waters, pure milk of
magnesia in tablet form, each equiv
alent to a tablespoon of liquid milk
of magnesia, correct acidity, bad

and enable you to have the quick.
pleasant, successful elimination so
necessary to abundant health.
Milnesia Waters come in bottles
at 35c and Coo or in convenient tins
at 2Oc. Recommended by thousands
of physicians. All good druggists
carry them. Start using these pleas

Inconsistency Noted in
Application of Words

One wonders how the same name
which etymologically Is equivalent
to "twice cooked"-came to be ap-
Piled to two things so widely diverse
as the English and the American bis
cult. Yet, although the Englishman
In the United States must ask for a
Cracker" If he wants what he has
hitherto called biscuit" he finds,
to his surprise, that an American
firm which manufactures 1t on a
large scale registers itself under the
name, not of the National Cracker
company, but of the National Biscuit
company.
One might, perhaps, mention as a
further though minor example of ver-
bal inconsistency the fact that, while
1t Is an administration" at Washing
ton that corresponds to the govern
ment" at Westminster, the individuals
who compose it are known as "cab-
met MEMBERS" not cabinet minis
ters' as they would be called In
England.
The Briton learns that in the
United States "boot" is specialized
to mean what he calls "high boot"
or a "Wellington," whereas the foot
wear that he ordinarily calls boots"
is known there as "shoes."
But the mystery that remains to be
cleared up Is why the Englishman
should employ "shoeblack" to clean
what he calls his "boots," while an
American employs a "bootblack" to
perform a similar service on his
"shoes." Herbert w. Horwill in the
Atlantic Monthly.

hawk got into the lower bay, her
compass was being tested.
An Hour Ahead
He said if they had not waited
to test the compass. the ship
would have been far ahead Of the
Talisman which did not leave
New York until an hour after
the Mohawk had cleared.
One of the most graphic tales
among the survivors was told by
Mrs. Harry M. Sidlett, of Newark,
N. j., who was rescued from a
lifeboat with her husband.
She gave a picture of the gal
lantry of the men in her lifeboat,
of the terrible suffering from the
cold, and of seeing lifeboat over
turn and 20 persons tossed into
the sea. She said:
Il was in my suite on d deck
when the collision occurred.
The stewards came around and
notified the passengers to get
out.
Il was fully dressed and went
up on deck. 1 found every
thing very orderly. The passen-
gers were we'll behaved.
TOOK TURNS ROWING
"The crew and officers were
very efficient. There was a lit
tie trouble in lowering the life
boats because the ship immedi-
ately after the collision had =
bad list.
There were 30 persons in
my lifebOat, No. 5. Most nf
them were passengers. There
were two or three second Off
GERS and a few ordinary sea-
men.
"The men took turns rowing.
The lifebOat was very heavy
and was pulled down by the
suction of the sinking ship"
Mrs. Sidlett added:
"All the men in the boat suf-
fered bliSterS and badly frozen
hands. 1t was very, very cold.
The sea was calm. The women
sat wrapped in blankets, but in
most cases they suffered badly
frozen faces, feet and hands,
anyway. Some Of the men even
gave us their coats.
Il saw one lifebOat being put
off from the ship. The tackle
or something caught and it up
set. There were 20 people in it
and they were thrown into the
water like so many matchsticks.
/ don't know what happened to
them. 1 didn't see them again.
/ think they drowned" .
