Wind distends the stom arh o nrl rnnsis ttiftt full nnnrocciva the delicate lining of the stomach. The trouble lies entirely in the fermenting food. Such fermentation is unnatural, and acid formation is not only unnat ural, but may Involve most serious con sequences, if not corrected. To stop or prevent fermentation, and toneutraliza the acid, a teaspoonful of bisurated magnesia, probably the best and most effective corrector f acid stomach known, should be taken in a quarter of a glass of water immediately after eating, or whenever wind or acidity is felt. This stops the fermentation and neutralizes the acidity in a few mo ments. Bisurated magnesia can be obtained- from any druggist. It enables the stomach to do its work properly without being hindered by poisonous gas and dangerous acids. (Adv Bisurated Msffoesla, No. 23 E. SStb St., W. T. C ITothinff Doing London Man.

The colonel denounced the pacificist as "no better citizen than a poltroon." He declared the United States had "tamely submitted to seeing the weak whom we had convenanted t protect, wronged' We have seen our own men, women and children murdered on the high seas without action on our part," he said. Roosevelt Renounced Germany for Its "disregard of international morality" and declared that fnr- -nnaf of munitions, "it would be a base aban donment of morality to refuse to make these shipments." The government was denounced for falling to take any steps toward preparedness and the col onel declared the munition manufac turers should be encouraged "so that we may be able to hold our own when tha hour of peril comes to us In our turn, as. assuredly It will come If we show ourselves too -neutral' to speak a word in behalf of the weak who ara wronged, and too slothful and lazy to prepare to defend ourselves against wronaT." r Bugler Was Drowned.
