Poor tittle Terrier Kound Tethered by Heavy Rope in Boiling; Sua When Guardian of Health Answer Emergency Call. (CpHERE is a mad, dog out here X which is terrorizing the coun try," was the information which came over the telephone Friday to Dr. Cal vin S. White in a woman's voice. The voice further informed the physician that the police had been notified an hour previously but that no member of the force had made his appearance. Fur ther remarks relative to the efficiency of the police bureau followed. After Dr. White had learned that the mad dog was on College street, between Eleventh and Twelfth, he procured a revolver and, borrowing an automobile from a friend, drove in search of the rabid canine. After some inquiry he found the lair of tho animal, and, with his gatling gun ready, approached where it was hidden behind a fence. The shot, however, which was to send the bloodthirsty animal into eternity was never fired. Dr. AVhite found a dog of the terrier breed lying tethered by a huge rope about as thick as a man's thumb. The dog was about a foot long and was far from being the huge, infuriated creature which his in formant had led the guardian of the public health of expect. "The dog was panting as a result of the hot sun in which he was tied and this probably had led to the belief that be was mad," said Dr. White. Deputy Attorney for Clarke Named. VANCOUVER, Wash..

"Acid" stomachB are dangerous be cause acid Irritates and inflames the delicate lining of the stomach, thus hindering and preventing the proper action of the stomach and leading to probably nine-tenths of the cases of stomach trouble from which people suf fer. Ordinary medicines and medicinal treatments are useless in mich cases, for they leave the source of the trouble, the acid in the stomach, as dangerous as ever. The acid must be neutralized, and its formation prevented, and the best thing for this purpose is a tea spoonful of bisurated magnesia, a sini ple antacid, taken in a little warm or cold water after eating, which not only neutralizes the acid, but also prevents the fermentation from which acidity is developed. Foods which ordinarily cause distress may be eaten with impunity if the meal Is followed with a little bisurated magnesia, which can be obtained from any druggist, and should always be .kept handy, Adv. ttbthttxtes a forgery charge.
