SHRINERS JOIN DRY MOVEMENT Action of Imperial Council in Annual Meeting Significant Boston, Mass. Significant and marking unmistakably the trend of the times toward complete prohi bition, is held to be the action of the Imperial Council of tlie Ancient Arabic Order Nobles of the Mystic Shrine in recommending to the 145 subordinate temples in the United States that intoxicants be barred hereafter from buildings where cere monial sessions are held. The recent decision of the Ancient and Honor able Artillery Company, of Boston, to hold its last dinner with out any intoxicants whatever on the board is taken to be but another in dication of the growing tide Of sen timent in the United States against the use of any form of intoxicating drinks. Many lodges of the Bene volent and Protective Order of Elks have banished beers, wines and liuors from their homes, some of them for the period of the war, some without date. Apparently there was but little if any real debate on the resolution of fered in the sessions of the Imperial Council some days ago, in Atlantic City, N. J., when it was proposed that the subordinate temples be ad vised to do away with intoxicating drinks at their Shrines and meeting] places. It was known that of the 145 temples in the United States, about two-thirds of them had al ready put the ban on such drinks. The sentiment expressed in the coun cil session was that the other? would soon follow. Benjamin W. Rowell, the imperial recorder of the Shriners, explains that the action of the Imperial Council is not mandatory but advis ory. That the recommendation was made as an evidence that the mem bers of the Shrine are In full sym pathy with the onward move of the temperance movement in the United States is held to be a self-evident fact. With the large proportion of the temples already committed, the recommendations of the Imperial Council will affect but a minority, and in those temples which have not barred liquors as yet, the influence of the majority, bearing as it does, the approval of the high council, will find favorable response in a rea sonable period. Recorder Rowell de clared. The Recorder said that the recom mendation of the Imperial Council in favor of doing away with intoxi cants will be forwarded to all of the councils in the United States. The Shriners, as a purely social organiza tion of Masons, held that they could not afford to be behind hand in this great moral movement that is fast becoming countrywide. The various temples individually have taken ac tion against intoxicants, some of them more than a year ago. The fact was reported at the recent meeting of the Imperial Council and undoubtedly had its influence in determining thd supreme body to pass the resolution recommending that all Shrine temples give their becoming country-wide.

CAUSE INDIGESTION Create Gas, Sourness and Pain How To Treat Medical authorities state that near ly nine-tenths of the cases of stomach trouble, indigestion, sourness, burn ing, gas, bloating, nausea, etc., are due to an excess of hydrochloric acid in the stomach and not as some be lieve to a lack of digestive *juices. The delicate stomach lining is irri tated, digestion is delayed and food sours, causing the disagreeable symp toms which every stomach sufferer knows so well. Artificial digestents are not needed in such cases and may do real harm. Try laying aside all digestive aids and instead get from G. A. Gorgas or any druggist a few ounces of Bisu rated Magnesia and take a teaspoon ful in a quarter glass of water right after eating. This sweetens the stom ach, prevents the formation of excess acid and there is no sourness, gas or pain. Bisurated Magnesia (in powder pr tablet form —never liquid or milk) is harmless to the stomach, inexpen alve to take and is the most effi cient form of magnesia for' stomach purposes. It is used by thousands of people who enjoy their meals with no more fear of indigestion. TORPEDO SIGNALS ON TRANSPORTS Detection Device Adopted by the Navy Is of Proved Value New York.—A torpedo detection device that Is of proved value has been adopted by the navy, says the Brooklyn Eagle, and is not only be ing installed upon all warships, but also upon all transports and mer chant craft that operate in the sub marine danger zone, which has now come to embrace practically all of the North Atlantic Ocean. Many types of submarine detectors have been invented and submitted to the navy, but very few have given prom ise of being practicable. The one that has now reached greatest favor, while it may also serve to detect the presence of submarines, is pri marily useful in giving warning of the approach of a torpedo. For the non-flghting ship, whose business it is to escape submarines and not to seek them, it is more important to be able to detect a tor pedo than it is to detect the craft that launched it. Thr torpedo, rather than the submarine, is to be avoided. It has already been dem onstrated to the satisfaction of naval experts that the device in question will give warning of the approach of a torpedo when it is considerably more than a mile distant. If wider experience with this instrument proves this to be a general rule, it is believed that it may result in saving as high as 75 per cent, of the vessels against which torpedoes are launched. It is well known that German sub marine commanders, as a result of much experience, become highly ex pert in determining the character of a vessel merely by the sound of her screws. With their under-water ears alert, they can tell whether it is a passenger steamer in the vicinity or a destroyer, different types of vessels produce different sounds under water. American naval men have discovered also that the tor pedo, rushing through the water at 35 knots, produces a sound peculiar to itself, a sound so distinctive that it cannot easily be confused with anything else. The problem was to pick up that sound while the torpedo was still at a considerable distance. This has been accomplished. It makes very little difference whether the ship armed with'the de tector knows from which side the torpedo is coming. That is not es sential to taking the necessary meas ures to avoid it. This is because of a simple reason. Torpedoes are al most invariably fired to strike the broadside of a ship. Submarines rarely attempt to make a hit when the victim is presenting only the bow or stern, because the target is then too small to give much hope of suc cess. When a submarine discharges a torpedo intended to strike the side of a ship It is never aimed at the vessel itself, but necessarily at a point where the victim is expected to arrive within one or two or per haps three minutes. The submarine must allow for the forward move ment of the ship, after estimating her distance and speed and direction. The German commanders have be come expert in making these calcu lations. If the victim stops or changes her course after the torpedo has been launched, then the target will not be hit, because the ship will not arrive at the calculated point. Hits that are made nowadays are almost invar iably recorded without the victim being aware that a torpedo is ap proaching, or in cases where dis covery is made too late to alter the course of the ship. The now torpedo detector is de signed to furnish the necessary warn ing. When the easily-discernible sound of a torpedo is picked up there is one simple rule for the ship at tacked. She must reverse her en gines and swing sharply out of her course. If she continues on her way her commander knows that ho will probably encounter a torpedo at " e point picked out by the submnr' 4 • If she avoids that point she is from that particular torpedo and probably has an excellent chance of escaping, because by that time she is zig-zagging and employing other means to make the target difficult. The experience thus far had with tWis .device indicates that a vessel may have as much as two minutes' warning of the approach of a tor pedo, which is amply sufficient to enable a ship to stop and change her course. Any vessel with two minutes' warning—or even one min ute —has a fine chance to make a get-away. General Wood Sends Message to Red Cross Pittsburgh.—Major General Leon ard Wood of the United States Army, yesterday sent to the home service division of Pittsburgh chapter, American Red Cross, the following message which ho asks that the Red j Cross give wide publicity, so that I the families of soldiers and sailors may know that .the Red Cross home service department is ready and will ing every day to give and counsel toi the dependants of enlisted men. "I have tried, and tried hard, to impress upon the people the neces sity of organizing throughout the country to look after the families of) those who have gone to the front. "I have told them to see to it that the family of every soldier is looked after by local committees. Some of these families are well provided for. Others will need practical assistance, especially families where there are old people or young children. "The bread winner, the protector —the man—has gone to the front. He has offered everything, even life itself and, giving all himself, it is only right that those behind should see that the people dependant upon him are looked after. He has thrown everything to the winds in order to servo his country, and the helpless ones who look to him for support should be taken care of by those whose battles he is fighting. "See to it that the family of every soldier is looked after. If you do this, we will have an army that cannot be beaten." Man, 96, and Wife, 92, Married 73 Years New York.
