Many stomach sufferers who are always full of gas and whose stom achs burn with acid after nearly every meal think these things are the RESULT of indigestion when in reality they are the CAUSE. It is just as foolish to give arti ficial digestents such as pepsin, etc., to a stomach full of gas and acid as it would be for a man who had stepped on a tack to rub llmiment on hia foot without removing the tack. Some stomachs too much gas and acid. Gas distends the stomach walls causing a full, bloated oppressive feeling while the acid irritates and inflames the lining of the stomach. Naturally the food ferments and sours, digestion is often delayed and stomach mis ery is the result. Artificial digest- m^ A "Regular" King Is KING OSCAR 5c CIGAR Because he rules with favor.

The mayor read an address In which he alluded to the great klnd nusa of the United States toward France and the liberality of aome American cities In assisting ruined French cities. Mr. Sharp, in reply, referred to the admiration of Americans for the heroic defense of Verdun and his in tention to take Into consideration the best means of bringing the request of the Verdun authorities to the atten tion of the United States. It appeared during the conversation that only six civilians are now in Verdun as fire men and police. ixnirr in IN SAX FRANCISCO San Francisco, Aug. 23. The Fed eral grand jury late Tuesday indict ed nineteen persons for violations of laws growing out of the war. ents will push this sour, ferment ing mass into the intestines and so relieve the stomach pain but the acid still remains in the stomach to generate more gas and produce more trouble at the next meal. If you are using digestive aids after meals drop them for a while and instead get a few 5-grain tab lets of pure bisurated magnesia from any druggist and take two with each meal. Bisurated Mag nesia does not digest food but will neutralize the excessive acid in your stomach, keep the food sweet and will drive the gas and bloat right out of your body. As Magnesia Is prepared in various forms be sure to get Bisurated Magnesia for this purpose as it is not a laxative and in this refined form will not injure the stomach in any way. Sold by G. A.

HOME-READING COURSE FOR CITIZEN-SOLDIERS (Issued by Uie War Department ati<l all rights to reprint reserved) This course of thirty daily lessons is offered to the men selected for service in the National Army as a practical help in getting started in the right way It is informal in tone and does not attempt to give binding rules and directions. These are in the various manuals and regulations of the United States Army, to which this Course is merely introductory. I.KSSOX XO. 10 RKCKKATIOX IX CAMP (Preceding Lessons: 1. Your Post of Honor. 2. Making Good ns a Sol dier. 3. Nine Qualities of a Soldier. 4. Getting Ready for Camp. 5. First l)ays In Camp. 6. Cleanliness in Camp. 7. Your Health. 8. Marching and Caro of Feet. 9. Your Equipment and Arms.) While your duys in the canton ments wil be spent chiefly In dril lng and other forms of training, you will have a considerable amount of time left free for your own use. Un der some conditions permission may be given at times to leave the can tonment for short periods. However, this Is a matter to be regulated in each camp. If you do go away from the camp on leave, you will continue to wear your uniform and will keep in mind always that you remain a soldier, subject to certain requirements that are not so definitely imposed on civil ians. In meeting officers, whether in the camp or outside, you are ex pected always to treat them with proper courtesy and respect. You should remember also, even though you are not directly under super vision, to keep up your soldierly neatness and bearing. Congress has provided that "it shall be unlawful to sell any intox icating liquor, including beer, ale, or wine, to any officer or member of the military forces while in uni form," an exception being made in a case of liquor required for medical purposes. Under authority of the 1 same act it has also been ruled that alcoholic liquors shall not be sold within five miles of any military camp, an execption being made in case there is an incorporated city or town within that limit. It has fur ther been provided that "the keep ing or setting up of houses of ill fame, brothels, or bawdy houses; within five miles of any military; camp * * * is prohibited." All | these provisions and restrictions are in the interest of every right-minded i soldier. They go a long way toward j Insuring clean and healthful living! conditions in the camps. They will I help to make every soldier more ef ficient and better ablo to give a good account of himself. One of the centers of army life in camp is the post exchange, at which articles for personal use, knicknacks, soft drinks, and so on, ore sold. You will be safe in de pending on the good quality and fail price of everything offered in the post exchange.' In general,' the matter of providing for recreation and .personal comforts in the contonments has been intrust ed by the Secretary of AVar to a small body of men known as the Commis sion on Training Camp Activities. The commission includes an Army officer and representatives of organ izations that have had much experi ence in meeting the needs of men of the type who will go into the Na tional Armv. It will have the co operation of the Young Men's Chris tian Association and the Knights of Columbus. Other associations may German Fliers Attack Hospitals of Red Cross Paris, Aug. 23. 'While the battle of Verdun was raging at its greatest intensity, at 10 o'clock on the open ing' night of the big drive, two Ger man aviators flew over two hospitals behind Verdun, which are joined by a wooden bridge over a road separat ing the buildings. Four Incendiary bombs which were dropped set ft re to three wooden wards crowded with wounded. , , As the personnel were making an effort to save the survivors who had not been killed by the projectiles or the fire, the German airmen returned and from a low altitude turned their machine guns on the men and nurses who were cutting the bridge to pre vent the fire from spreading, killing seven and wounding twenty. The Red Cross workers on the building could be plainly seen in the light made by the blazing fire, but the raiders returned for a third time and dropped bombs on and fired their ma chine guns at the hospitals. Seven wounded soldiers were killed in their beds. Two Red Cross nurses In the wards were killed. Two other hospitals were similarly bombed, making a number of victims. One camp where German prisoners were collected also was bombed and many Germans were injured. Your Liver has important work to do.

This task of attending to the social needs of the soldiers has been organized with almost as much care and thor oughness as the bigger task of mak ing ready for tho liring line. The Young Men's Christian Associ ation is building a hut for the men in cahc brigade. In these huts mov ing picture or vaudeville shows will be given every night. Writing ma terials can be had for the asking. A piano will be at hand. The Knights of Columbus will have one large building in each camp, in which there will bfe facilities of the same kind. Both these organizations will con duct religious services every* Sunday. Men of all creeds will be welcome. The secretaries and other oltlcers in charge will be glad at any time to talk over any personal problems and to help you in any way they can. They are picked because of their willingness and skill in rendering service. They will also make you welcome. Get in touch with either of these organizations as soon as you have opportunity after you reach camp. The chaplain attached to each regiment also looks after the spirit ual and moral welfare of the men. In every cantonment there will be a complete library building where you will be able to obtain books and magazines of all kinds. This is ar ranged with the help of the Amer ican Lilbrary Association. In each cantonment the Commis sion on Training Camp Activities is erecting a large auditorium. This is to be used partly as a theater and partly for athletic instruction. Some of the best theatrical companies in the country will put on Broadway productions for your benefit. These performances will be free. A place will be provided for everyone. Those men who like singing will have plenty of chances to enjoy "sing songs" on a big scale. The commission has secured the services of well-known chorus leaders to take charge of camp singing. A great deal of attention has been given to athletics. An expert will give boxing lessons to large groups of men. This instruction is voluntary but it will be well wortn your while to attend. In some of the camps where bath ing beaches are not far away instruc tion will be given in swimming. Team athletics, such as baseball, basketball and football, will be de veloped under the guidance of ex pert coaches. One of the members of the commission will be in general charge of this line of activity in all the camps. Of course all these facilities are for use in your spare time only. They are not to interfere with the steady process of training which alone can make you a real soldier. However, you will enjoy your hours of recrea tion all the more because they have been preceded by hours of hard work. The recreation as as the work has its place in the general plan for turning out an efficient army of self-reliant citizen soldiers in the quickest possible time.
