Dangerous Gas and Acids That
Hurt the Stomach—Sour the Food
Cause Dyspepsia, Indigestion
Recommends A Safe Way To Treat Stomach Trouble
At Home.
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-

the possibility of aomo American city
adopting: Verdun, to aaslst In the re
construction of tho city hall, water
works, achoola and other public prop

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.

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. Gorgas.

(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

(Preceding Lessons: 1. Your Post of

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

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.

also work with the commission. 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.
