Acid stomachs are dangerous be cause too much acid irritates the deli cate lining of the stomach often lead ing to gastritis accompanied bv seri ous stomach ulcers. Food ferments and sours creating the distressing gas which distends the stomach and hamp ers the normal functions of the vital Internal organs, often affecting the heart. It is the worst of folly to neglect such a serious condition or to treat with ordinary digestive aids which have no neutralizing effect on the stomach acids. Instead get from any druggist a few ounces of Bisurated Magnesia and take a teaspoonful in a quarter glass of water right after eat ing. This Willi drive the gas, wind and bloat right out of the body, sweeten the stomach, neutralize the excess acid and prevent its formation and there is no sourness or pain. Bis urated Magnesia (in powder or tablet form—never liquid or milk) is harm less to the stomach, inexpensive to take wnd the best form of magnesia for stomach purposes. It is used by thousands of people who enjoy their meals with no more fear of indiges tion. Geo. A. Gdrgas.—Advertise ment. The New Store of Wm.

BRITISH READY FOR NEW DRIVE [Continued From First Page.] the infant republic. The first is the gearing arrival in Petrograd of the American commission and the sec ond is the appointment of General Brussilolt as commander-in-chief of Russia's army. General Brussiloff enjoys the reputation of being not only a brilliant field commander, but a strong and self reliant man and his appointment is taken as a fresh indication that Minister of War Ker ensky's promise of a vigorous ad ministration was not an idle boast. The Prussian junkers are still put ting forward extravagant programs of annexations and indemnities. They have apparently abandoned the idea of a separate peace with Rus sia and are now discussing the dis memberment of that country. Their boasts have been met with the pas sage by the French Chamber of Deputies, by an overwhelmingly ma jority, of a resolution declaring that peace can only be based on the re turn of Alsace-Lorraine to France and the evacuation and restoration of the region invaded by Germany.

They,are na ture's advance warning of future bald ness and proof that the dangerous lit tle dandruff germ is busy on your scalp. Dr. Sangerbund, the famous Parts specialist, first discovered that dan druff and falling hair are caused by a microbe. Then came the discovery of the value of the real Parisian ?age (liquid form) in destroying the dan druff germ and promptly preventing the further loss of hair. The effect of only three days' use of Parisian Sage Is simply marvelous, and the American people have now awakened to the fact that dandruff Is Just as unnecessary as It is unhealthy, and that they can be quickly rid of It and save their hair by using a few ounces of Parisian Bage, A large bottle, enough to last a long time. Is inexpensive at drug and toilet counters everywhere. It's an ideal, daintily perfumed liquid, free from grease and stickiness, and will surelv cause hair to grow soft, lustrous and really seem twice as abundant. H. C. Kennedy always has a fresh stock and can supply you. lie sure you get the geunlne Parisian Sage (Olroux's) as that la the one that has the guar antee printed on every package. —Ad vert i&onxutnt* "CREATION" FOR LOCAL RED CROSS Haydn's Masterpiece Will Be Sung by Carefully Se lected Chorus The Musical Art Society will sing Haydn's "Creation" on Thursday evening, in Grace M. J2. Church au ditorium. A chorus of fifty carefully selected voices, with organ and or chestra accompaniment, will take part. The soloists will be Mary But torff, Katharine Dubbs, Vania Fors ter, Mildred Garman, sopranos; John D. Fisher and William E. Bretz, ten ors; William S. Hoover and Ross Harman, baritones. The performance will begin promptly at eight o'clock. A silver offering will be taken at the end oflpart one. The entire pro ceeds will be turned over to the Red Cross work. Haydn was sixty-five ' years old when he undertook the composition of "Creation." It was begun in 1796 and fiinished in 1798. The first pub lic performance was given on March 19, 1799, although a private per formance was given one £ear ear lier. Choruses Impressive The oratorio opens with an over ture representing chaos. At first, its effect is dull and Indefinite, without form or melodic beauty. It is Na ture in her chaotic state, struggling into definite forrrt. Gradually the discordances settle, leaving a misty effect, that truly suggests "the Spirit of God moving upon the fact of the waters." A brief recitative by the tenor tells of the division of light from dark ness, and the end of chaos, intro ducing a fuged chorus, in which the rage of Satan and his hellish spirits, as they are precipitated into the abyss, is described with startling dis sonances and strange modulations; but the closing part relates the beau ties of the new created earth spring ing up "at God's command." Ra phael then describes the making of the firmament, the raging storms, the flashing lightning and rolling thun ders, the rain and hail, and the gent ly falling snow. And so the oratorio goes on de scribing each day, the accompani ment being always suggestive and colorful, and the choruses wonder fully impressive. Regarding the "Creation" Haydn said "Never was I so pious as when composing 'The Creation.' I knelt down every day and prayed God to strengthen me for the work." Qualify For Position in Country Club Golf Women's nolf at the Country Club of Harrisburg is quite absorbing these days in between Red Cross and charitable activities. Mrs. Walter H.

Hoover, who will be food adminis trator under the bills now pending In Congress, took notice to-day of widely published reports quoting him as say ing the sugar supply would soon be exhausted and predicting outrageous prices. "I have never made a statement fc publication upon the subject of sugar whatever," said he. "i did in an Im portant conference state that unless order was restored in Cuba we would be short of sugar because of inability to secure the harvest of the forthcom ing crop. * "Since that time action has been taken and ample supplies are assured not only from Cuba, but from else where. There will be no famine in sugar, and I wish to protest at the repetition of partial discussions in private conference to the wholly UD> necessary alarm of consumers."
