Stomach Troubles Are Due To Acidity Tell* Sufe, Certain, Speedy, Belief For Acid Indigestion. So-called stomach troubles such as j indigestion, gas, sourness, stomach ■ ache and inability to retain food, are lin probably nine cases out of ten j simply evidence that fermentation is ! taking place in the food contents of the | stomach, causing the formation of gas | and acids. j Gas distends the stomach and causes I that full, oppressive, burning feeling I sometimes known as heart-burn, while the acid irritates and inilames the deli cate lining of the stomach. The trouble lies entirely in the excessive develop ment or secretion of acid and the fer mentation of food. To stop or prevent the fermentation or souring of the food contents of the stomach and to neutralize the acid, and make it bland and harmless, a tea spoonful of bisurated magnesia, per haps the best and most etfective cor rector of acid stomach known, should be taken in a quarter of a glass of hot or cold water Immediately after eating, or whenever gas, sourness or acidity Is felt. This stops the fermenta tion. "sweetens the stomach and neu tralizes the acidity in a few moments and is a perfectly harmless and Inex pensive remedy to use- An antacid, sucn as Bisurated Mag nesia which can be obtained from any druggist in either powder or tablet form enables the stomach to do its work properly without the aid of dan gerous artificial dlgestants. Magnesia comes in several forms so be certain to ask for and take only Bisurated Magnesia which is especially prepared for the above purpose. George A. Gor gas can supply you.—Adv. Many Democrats Angry at Civic Service Plan For All Postmasters By Associated Press Washington, March 8. —Many Dem- | ocratic members of Congress were an- j gry to-day over the announced inten- ! tion of the administration to extend ! the merit system to all postmasters of j the first, second and third classes, i after April 1, by executive order of the President. They declared the ef fect would be to place in office many Republicans, and some said the pur pose was to draw Republican support for administration measures in the next House, whose political complex ion is so uncertain. Postmaster Gen eral Burleson explained the move was prompted by reasons of economy and efficiency. Postmasters now in office will serve out the four-year term for which they were appointed, but after April 1 the President will till each vacancy by ap pointment of the man making the highest grade in examinations, which are yet to be arranged.

ADVICE TO THE LOVELORN By Beatrice Fairfax You Are a Love Thief Dear Miss Fairfax: I am nineteen and deeply in love with the same young man three years my senior—that my friend Is in love with. Although it is known that my friend and this young man care for each other, I have every rea son to believe that he cares for me, too. In my presence he is all devo tion to her, but when he Is alone with me he admits he cares for me, but cares more for my friend. My friend is conscious of. my love for this young man, but will not admit it. I love this man very much and give up many engagements to have the op portunity to talk to him. Kindly ad vise me what course to pursue. Perplexed. What you are doing deserves no kinder word of description than con temptible.. Since you know your friend cares for this young man, and since his interest in her is acknowl edged, too, how dare you attempt the ignoble theft of what belongs to her? I advise you to look at yourself hon estly, to go to your friend humbly and apologize for your attempt to steal the affections of the boy for whom she cares, and then either to cultivate strength enough to leave him alone or to avoid seeing him. SHOULD MAKE A MILLION FOR HIM Cincinnati man discovers drug that loosens corns so they lift out. Local druggists are having a tre mendous call, for freezone, the drug which is said to shrivel a corn, root and all, without any pain. A few drops applied directly upon a tender, aching corn relieves the soreness at once, and shortly the en tire corn, root and all, lifts right out with the fingers. This new drug is being dispensed at small cost in quarter ounce bottles, which Is sufficient to take off every hard or soft corn from one's feet. It is a sticky substance which dries at once, and does not intlame or even irritate the surrounding tissue or skin. There is no excuse for anyone invit ing death by infection or lockjaw from cutting their corns now. MARCH 8, 1917. OIL SHARES FEATURE EARLY STOCK SALES More Representative Issues Slightly Higher With Lehigh Valley Subject to Further Pressure—Leading Rails Gain Over Closing By Associated Press New York, March 8. (Wall Street 10.30). —OU shares featured to-day's early dealings with a gain of almost five points for Texas Company and substantial fractions to a point for California and Mexican petroleums. Loriilard Tobacco responded to yes terday's increased extra dividend with an advance of five points and sugars reflected the more favorable conditions in Cuba. The more representative issues such as United States Steel, Utah, Copper, American Smelting and leading rails were slightly higher. Shippings, Cen tral Leather, Industrial Alcohol and Lackawanna Steel were irregular and Lehigh Valley was subject to further pressure. The moderate activity of the first half hour gave way to intervals of apathy, dealings for the forenoon fall ing fully 50 per cent, under yesterday's. Early gains in petroleums were ex tended and smelting led the metals, rising 2>4 points on rumors of a proba ble increase of dividend. Shippings, marines excepted, reversed their ir regular course and motors, papers and Columbia Gas gained 1 to 2 points, with a point for United States Steel. Otherwise changes were mainly down ward; Bethlehem Steel losing 2 points, with as much for Alcohol. An eight point decline to 49 in New York, Chi cago and St. Louis second preferred was the only noteworthy movement in rails. Bonds were steady.
