Hot-Water Drinking in Hiperacidilu of the Stomach SOl'lt stomach, or gastric hyperaridltv. Is rarely due to the souring or fermenta tion (if food In the r-tniiuii'li. The excess of acid lit the stomach Is almost always tho tesillt of excessive activity of the gas tric glands, which produce hydrochloric acid, tbn acid of the g.istrlc Juice. When this acid Is present In ton large quantity It causes spasm of the pylorus, thp gate between the stomach and tho small in testine. The presence of acid In the stomach e.-tuies the pylorus to open; but when the neld comes III contact with the mucous mem braim of the small intestine, Just below the stomach, a rellex action closes the pylorus. When acid Is In excess, the, py lorus Is closed so tightly that It does not open at the proper Intervals, and the re sult is that the food Is retained in the stomach fnr too long a time. The gastric glands aro over stimulated and the excess of acid Is accumulated. Thus tho dllll culty is aggravated. Hot water drinking Is highly useful In such cases by diluting the gastric Juice. The heat tends to relax tho pylorus, and when the diluted Jttlco reaches the Intes tine tho rellex produced Is not m strong, and so the pylorus does not contract so tightly, and thus relief Is afforded. The best time for drinking hot water Is about four hours after eating. At this time tho normal stomach will lie empty, though In cases of hyperacidity there will still remain lit tho stomach a considerable quantity of highly acid material. The quantity of water taken should be two or three glasses, or a pint to a pint and a half. The effect of water taken lu this way Is quite different from water taken at meals, which Is injurious, having the effect to increase tho acidity (as pointed out by Pnvlow many years ago). in cAses of extreme acjdlty. especially when there may lie suspicion of tho pres ence of stomach or Intestinal ulcer. It Is well to add to the hot water half a tea snoonful of bicarbonate of soda to neutralize the stomach ncld. The soda should lie used only when the hot water alone Is found liisiifllclent to afford relief. It should be added that hot water drink ing will not alone cure hyperacidity. Con atlnatlon. which Is always present, must be relieved ttlio bowels must move three Two Killed. Many Hurt by Car AKKO.N. O., July 3.

What to Buy, What Not, in City's Produce Markets HERE is produce-market report of tho food commission of-Mayor's Home Defense Committee: 'Abundant Group Potatoes continue plentiful and about the same in price, which is comparatively low. This is likely to change very soon because of de creased supply. The embargo which was placed by the railroad compnny on the receipt of potatoes for New York overloaded first the Philadel phia market, leading to an embargo here, nnd then the Hoston and north ern New Jersey markets. This caused the farmers of the Eastern Shore of Virginia nnd Maryland, where virtually all the potatoes aro now coming from, to stop digging. As the supply here from last week clears up, the decreased supply may be oxpected to mokq itself felt.

WOMEN FLAG TRAINS AT JERSEY CROSSINGS Pennsylvania Railroad Employs Half a Dozen on Shore Line LADY CONDUCTOR, RUMOR Company Preparing for Exigencies of War When Men Are Taken Awny MIJ&IM vi1 ,&aH MISS DAISY E. WARD Something Is going to happen to the llttln gray watchman's house in Newfield, N. J. something more exciting than any honm of nn express that ever thundered into space. It's going to havo lace curtains 1 Ask Miss Dnlsy E. Ward, the altogether unusual young trained nurse, who flew Into tho little house on the wings of wartime's emergencies and established In the twinkle of an eye the name of being tho Pennsyl vania Hailro.td's llrst llagwoman. Sho'll say no nt first, then she'll blush Just as she did today, when a slightly heated motorist, whom she had Just snatched from the Jaws of nn oncoming freight by means of bongmriUiig Mm with a neat little sign that said '"Stop"' asked her how In tho name of all that was equal sho was going to keep from being melted away during the summer and being carried home in a bucket. After that she'll drawl a bit In nn accent thnt she admits grew until a year ago up In Connecticut, and sandwiched In between tho "nhs" that ought to be "ers" and tho "er.V thnt ought to be "alls" she'll tell you that they're going to he nice green shades to keep out tho sun Just at present and after while, well, maybe not lace but Just chintz or something Inexpensive and Alieady the little gray house has seen something It netcr saw In all Its horn days. There's a bottle of BUre-enough cologne In tho corner, right where the "hnccy" used to sit nnd because the lady who has to see Hint some seventy-live passenger and freight "trains do not tun Into the hundreds of motors, wagons nnd walkers that crost tho tracks at Newfield does not bellevo that part of her Job is to live up to the time lionorcd traditions of keeping tho flagman's fingernails In a reasonable state of mourn ing, there's a manicure scissors and a file resting very close by. This doesn't mean that dainty Miss Ward for sho Is dainty, a fl o'clock tea could produce none sweeter isn't living up to her Job. "Pardon me," she says, "while I flag this train," as sho walks calmly across the tracks, apparently tinlhistcrcd by tho fact that freights and passenger expresses have been known to sneak up the back of un suspecting ilogmen with rather disastrous results. , Not only once, but all day long, from the moment the rnys of heatening sun begin to mako her nose peel at 6:30 In tho morn ing to the dark of the night, when she must exchango her simple little circular sign for a flaming red lantern that tells wayfarers thut trains bent on speed arc sweeping through the night, does she carry on this performance, Iler day's work Is done nt 9 at night. There's no full-crew law about Miss Ward's Job. Iletween trains, with one eye on tho sig nals to the right nnd tho other to tho left of her. with nn ear on tho track and an other on the road, she admitted she liked her Job. In nnothcr similar lull In activity she admitted that hers was a Joint motive In blazing a wartime trail. "Klrst." she said, flecking bits of cinders from Iter trim blue-striped dress, "It's for mother's sake. I had to give up trained nursing, which I stuck to until a year ago. Just to keep near mother. I must be with her nt night. in giving up my nursing I gave up a very dear hope that of Joining the lied Cross excuse me. did you think you heard n train? and so I wanted to servo in somo way." Miss Ward looked all about her; her eyes dit'olt particularly on the stretch of four tracks across. This Is my way of doing my hit," sho added briefly, "and 1 hope it will give other girls the courage to follow my example. Tho money Isn't bad that I get, and I'm satisfied with the experiment." "I never liked trains." Miss Ward said j "tho most I had to do with them was tak ing patients up and down from Klorida. Now I have them all day oven for lunch and supper." Miss Ward spoke the truth. Kven at mealtime she may not run away from her Job. Neat little trays are served In the tiny gray house, and the things on them are downed to the orchestration of chugs anil nooms. "Hut 1 don't mind." was the final remark from the ultra-refined girl who has taken this Job that belonged to one who was pro moted to the rank of section hand. And Just to show that a lot more young ladles feel the same way about It, three more women volunteered for similar Jobs to hers yesterday. They wore placed at the Waterford crossing. This makes five women In all on the seashore line who are preventing trains and humans fr.om argu ing about the right of way In the middle of the track. All of tho women are child less, it being an Inviolable rule ot the rail road's that whatever be the troubles of the flag woman they may not be little ones The flag lady must keep her mind on trains. It Is whispered that a lady will soon take the Job of conductor on the Atlantic City Itallroad. In the meantime It Is a sure enough fact that a train dispatchers' class in the Pennsylvania Itallroad school boasts of more women than men.

Vou do need mo, don't you, Kate? You won't ho dead sore about Ullly, will you, and some day you will understand? I have Just walked the streets all day. I dfdn't want to go up to the room, and I am writing this In Kelly's restaurant. I begin to work tomorrow night at tho Cnfo Houlevnrd. nnd perhaps when I am dancing I won't remember. Vou will be out In a few weeks and we will bo together nnd happy again. Vou won't he soro nt me, say you won't. Kate? oh, Kate, 1 wish things had been differ ent, so we could have kept him. It Is Hell to lie crooked, ain't It? Yours, NA.-v. XXXIII rnr A'afe; Hilly Is back ! I dhn't know hardly how I can tell you all about It, It don't seem real tq me yet. Two days out from New York the ship that they was on run Into another ship In a fog and everybody won saved ex cept eighteen people, and tho Smiths was lost. An officer saw Hilly nnd threw him In a boat and the Smiths was put In another boat that was swamped. I read It In tho papers first, and It said tho Smiths was drowned nnd of course I thought Hilly was with them, and I was near crazy because I thought It was all my fault. If I had not of given hint to tho Smiths, he would be nllve still. I went down to the dock where the peoplo who was brought In by the other boat landed, and ono of the first persons I sec was Billy, stnnding with a man nnd woman, looking Just as natural as ever, with his curls around his face and his eyes a laughing Just as If nothing had happened. I near went nutty, and made tin nwful foolAf myself, but I was so tickled, I didn't care. I suppose It Is wrong to he so glad as I am to havo him back, an I feel so bad about the Smiths that ono inlnlt I am cry ing about them nnd the next inlnlt I am hugging the life out of Hilly to havo him again. I got him up in the room nnd I will nover let him out of my sight a mlnlt If I can help It. I leave him with Myrtle Wil liams when I am at work nnd I hurry right home as soon as 1 am through. He Just makes the sun shine In tho old room again. Ho is such n big strong boy It is nil 1 can do to lift him over to his own side of the bed nt night. I take him out In tho morn ing and we have a long walk. We went up tn the park the other day nnd saw the ani mals. I think I was tickled with them ns much ns Hilly was, but I guess I made a mistake taking him up there, becauso if ho had Ids way ho would board with Miss Murphy and her baby.

Myrtlo took him out the other afternoon when I was at work and filled him up with Ico cream and candy and all kinds of stuff till ho nearly died, I gavo her a call-down n'.id sho said, "Well he wanted It " I said, "of course he wanted it; kids want everything they see but that Is no sign they should have It' Ain't you got nothing In your head hut your rat?" She got sore, and then I was sorry cause she has been awful good, and I gave her my best slipper buckles to mako up. Hut I tell you it threw a scare Into me, I gate Hilly a talking to and told him Hint if he coaxed aunt Myrtle for every, thing he saw that I would spank hfm. It was hot air, and I think he knows It. causs I couldn't bear to spank him. I only did it once nnd then I was so mad that I did It before I thought. Ho and Paul had a fight, and ho pulled a big handful of Paul's hair out and made Mrs. Smith mad, and I Just up and gavo him a good fat spanking where It did the most good and It helped a lot. I Just can't whip him, but sometimes I set him tlowt with a thud that Jars his teeth. I don't Rnow what I wilt do with him, as It ain't good for him to llvo la ono room, hut 1 am so glad to have him that I ain't worrying much. Wrlto me a long letter Kate.
