STOMACH TROUBLES
IRE DUE TO ACIDITY
Tells Safe, Certain, Speedy Re
lief For Acid Indigestion
So-called stomach troubles, such
as indigestion, gas, sourness, stom
ach-ache and inability to retain food
are in probably nine cases out of ten,
simply evidence that excessive secre
tion of acid is taking place in the
stomach, causing the formation of gas
and acid Indigestion.
Gas distends the stomach and
causes that full, oppressive, burning
feeling sometimes known as heart
burn, while the acid irritates and in
flames the delicate lining of the
stomach. The trouble lies entirely
in the excess development or secretion
of acid.
To stop or prevent this souring of
the food contents of the stomach and
to neutralize the acid, and make it
bland and harmless, a teaspoonful of
hisurated magnesia, a good and ef
fective corrector of acid stomoh,
should be taken in a quarter of a
glass of hot or cold water after eat
ing or whenever gas, sourness or
acidity is felt. This sweetens the
stomach and neutralizes the acidity
in a few moments and is a perfectly
harmless and inexpensive remedy to
use.
An antiacid, such as bisurated mag
nesia which can be obtained from any
druggist in either powder or tablet
form enables the stomach V) do its
work properly without the aid of ar
tificial digestents. Magnesia comes in
several forms, so be certain to ask
for and take only Bisurated Mag
nesia. which is especially prepared
for the above purpose. G. A. Gorgas.

a number of boys and Mayor Keister
at the hearing yesterday said he will
not tolerate such conduct in Harris
burg. If necessary the police may
make a large number of arrests and

EXPLORERS ISSUE
CAMPING ORDERS
Will Be Held July 29 to Au
gust 9 at.Pine Grove
Furnace
General orders were Issued to-day
for annual encampment of Harris
burg's oldest and most famous
camping club —The Explorers. The
camp will be held July 29 to August
9 at Pine Grove Furnace. The or
ders follow:
"The advance guard will arrive at
camp on July 24th and will at once
£et busy to erect all the tents, cut
the grass, put the golf links in
proper shape so that the members
and brevets arrive on the 29th and
30th ready to enter Into the enjoy
ments of camp without working.
"To get to camp, get a ticket via
Cumberland Valley Railroad to Get
tysburg Junction, change cars there
for the Pine Grove Limited arriving
at destination at 11.27 a. m. when
dinner will be served. Incidentally
the train from Harrisburg leaves at
9.48 a. m.
"As we expect to have several dis
tinguished brevets with us this year
for the first time it might be well for
the colonels to have their good be
havior along in case it Is found ad
visable to use it.
"Community singing will be one
of the features of this camp In order
to offset the war bread and short
rations of sugar. The singing will
be in charge of the camp quartet
.with Colonel Dietrich as leader. It
may be pleasant to learn that the
secretary purchased some new
strings for his fiddle and will have
the music so that the few who can
only sing by note will feel at home.
"When you say "Good-by Harris
burg, Hello Camp' we will 'Keep
the Home Fires Burning' till "The
End of a Perfect Day' and then
some.
"The 'Three Jews From Jerusa
lem' will tent with Colonel Fisher.
Mausteller has his usual supply of
'slugs' for any who need them.
"The headquarters of the Merchant
Marine of the U. S. will be at the
upper end of camp in Quality Row
and will be in charge of Major Oor
gas.
"Members are requested to leave
their hammers at home and bring
horns instead. This camp bids fair
to be one of the best we ever had
and if you don't have a good time
blame it on the food commission.
Members will be permitted to come
by auto if they are fortunate enough
to be able to do so. The garage has
been enlarged. So far as we know
the personnel of camp will be as fol
lows:
"Cols. Rhoads, Shank, Nead,
Fisher, Mausteller, Gorgas, Barney
H. P. Miller, Sollenberger, Hoerner,
Dietrich, C. M. Froehlich, Schrlver;
Brevets, Edward Manser, Samuel S.
Rutherford, Henry H. Baish, Rev.
S. Edwin Rupp and Dr. A. S. Koser.
"There are a few more who may
be with us for part of the time,
namely. Cols. Ebersole, Wickersham,
Hoover, Kinnard and Brevets Durr H.
A. Bair and E. A. Miller.
"We expect to have just enough
rain to keep the dust down and a
temperature to suit all. Some job.
If there is any further Information
desired write to the bureau of infor
mation at Box 523, Harrisburg until
July 23, after that to Pine Grove
Furnace, Pa., In care of Explorers."

HAHJRISBITRG TELEGRAPH!
GERMAN AGENTS
HAD VAST FUND
FOR CORRUPTION
Used $90,000,000 of SIOO,-
000,000 German War Bond
Receipts For Propaganda
New York, July 18.—The declara
tion that fully $90,000,000 of an
aggregate sale of $100,000,000 Ger
man war bonds in this country early
In the European conflict went Into a
"corruption fund" managed by Teu
ton agents here, was made yesterday
by fede&il officials Investigating Ger
man propaganda activities.
Not only was control of American
newspapers and magazines contem
plated, but fostering of pacifist senti
ment in certain colleges was accom
plished, the investigators said. In
this latter agitation, it was charged
the late Dr. Hugo Muensterberg, of
Harvard, and Otto Merkel, arrested
last year, were the directing
geniuses.
Directed by Ambassador von
Bernstorff and Dr. Heinrich Albert,
the German financial agent in the
United States, the Teuton plan in
cluded financial and commercial
transactions for the benefit of Ger
many. Their movements carefully
concealed, the German agents
bought cotton, wool and other com
modities urgently needed in the
blockaded Central Empires, and
succeeded in making some ship
ments through neutral countries, ac
cording to the revelations.
At frequent conferences which the
German plotters held in New York
it was stated, general directions
were given also for bombing mu
nitions plants, ships and railroad
properties, under the Immediate su
pervision of Kranz von Rintelen,
now a federal prisoner under con
viction of conspiring to destroy ships
at sea.
The Evening Mail Scheme
Count von BernstorfT, former Ger
man Ambassador to the United
States, attended a conference here
early in 1915 when six or seven
persons discussed the purchase of
the New York Evening Mail, in or
der to bring about publication of
"unbiased and truthful news" of the
European war in an English news
paper. Ludwig Nissen, former presi
dent of the National Jewelers' Asso
ciation, described this conference in
a statement to-day, explaining that
he had interested himself temporar
ily in the proposal only "from the
standpoint of pure Americanism in
the application of the 'square
deal.' "
The conference, which was held at
the home of Percival Kuhne, mem-
I ber of the New York and Leipsig,
Germany, banking house of Knauth,
Nachod & Kuhne, had no definite re
sult, according to Mr. Nissen. How,
ever, he was informed later by Dr.
Edward A. Rumely, now under ar
rest on charges involving the alleged
purchase of the Mail for the Ger
man government, that Rumely had
acquired the newspaper with the fi
nancial backing of a "very influen
tial and rich individual." This indi
vidual, Dr. Rumely later told Mr.
Nissen, has since died.
Mr. Nissen admitted buying bonds
of the Mail from Dr. Rumely and
asserted that the very fact that the
securities had been "peddled
around" in small lots had been an
indication to him that the govern
ment at Berlin "had nothing to do
with the Mail."
Cables Bring Ray of
Hope to Roosevelts;
Report Unconfirmed
By Associated Press
Oyster Bay, N. Y., July 18.—A
ray of hope that Lieutenant Quentin
Roosevelt may not have fallen to
his death in a combat with a squad
ron of German airplanes, was
brought to Colonel Roosevelt and his
wife last night in a cable message
sent from Paris by Mrs. Theodore
Roosevelt, Jr., in which she said the
report was "absolutely unconfirmed"
there. The former President felt,
however, that there only is a slight
possibility that his youngest son may
still be alive.
QUENTIN BORN NATURALIST
Washington, July 18.—Quentin
Roosevelt was the baby of the Roose
velt Administration. His pranks at
the White House and school are af
fectionately remembered by Wash
ington.
He was born here November, 189 7,
at the family home when his father
was Assistant Secretary of the Navy
in the McKinley administration. He
was unmarried.
The boy was a born naturalist,
with a special love for animal life.
Many are the tales told of his eariy
days in the White House, when he
kept the family and attendants in a
state of anxiety over his strange pets,
which often escaped to wander
through the grounds or around the
house.
Birds, beasts, wild and domestic,
even reptiles, were included in the
miniature menagerie the child gath
ered from'a.ll parts of the country.
When it was known the Colonel, so
far from being disturbed by the
boy's traits, encouraged first hand
studies in natural history, friends
and admirers in every part of the
country contributed all sorts of
strange pets to the White House
collection.
One of the prime favorites of
Quentin was a beautiful little pony
which had been given to Archie, his
older brother, by Secretary of the
Interior Bliss.
Once, when Archie was ill, Quen
tin became possessed of the idea his
brother's recovery depended on see
ing the pony. Therefore, he man
aged to get the little animal ir.to
the private elevator in the White
House and took him to his brother's
bedroom on the upper floor.
A pet snake was one of the lad'a
favorite possessions and It was natd
he had more than once created panic
In his school by producing this rop
tile.
Quentin was a public school boy,
his father believing that was the
truo school of democracy. His
schoolmates recall one day when
the teacher was asking the class to
tell the occupation of their fathers.
At Quentln's turn he nonchalantly
replied: "My father Is Just it."
