How to Neutralize
Dangerous
Stomach Acids
Pew people besides physicians realize
the Importance of keeplug the food con
tents of the stomach free from acid fer
mentation. Healthy," normal digestion
cannot take place %vhlle the delicate lin
ing of the stomach Is being Inflamed and
distended by acid and wind—the result
of fermenting food In the stomach. To
secure perfect digestion, fermentation
must be stopped or prevented and the
acid neutralized. For this purpose,
physicians recommend getting a little
blsurated magnesia from the druggist
and taking a teaspoonful in a little
hot or cold water Immediately after
eating. They recommend blsurated
magnesia because it is pleasant to
take, lias no disagreeable after-effects
and instantly stops fermentation, neu
tralizes the acid and makes the sour
acid bland, sweet and easily digested.
The regular use of blsurated mag
nesia—be sure you get the blsurated,
as other kinds of magnesia are of lit
tle value—ls an absolute guarantee of
healthy, normal digestion, for it over
comes and prevents that acid condition
which alone is the cause of trouble.

Watson's Orientals
Beef Trust Billy Watson's new bur

will be the attraction at the Majestic

most complete that has ever been pre

Company s circuit. It has been planned
along the lines adopted for the newer
burlesque, which means plentv of livelv
tun. music of the kind that'keeps the

of the most attractive description. Mr.
\\ atson is a past grand master in the
held of burlesque productions and it
may be taken- for granted that the
show will prove to be all that is looked
tot- by patrons of this character of en
tertainments. For the first part an en
tirely new musical satire called "The
Joy Line ' will be used, while for the
secoud part Mr. Watson has written a
new version of " Krausemever's Al
ley," i n which several attractive vaude
ville specialties will be introduced. Mr.
Watson has personally arranged the de
tails of the show, the main poi.nt being
to keep the audience thoroughly amused
hv funny scenes and situations when

At the Orphcum
i aptain Louis Sorcho, the celebrated
deep son diver and submarine engineer,
is attracting unlimited attention at the
Orphemn this week. The attention is
due not only to his interesting exhibi
tion of the dangers that confront those
who follow submarine work, a topic of
which the public, generally speaking,
is practically ignorant, but ot' the im
portance attached to the presence of
Captain .Sorcho himself in Harrisburg.
Those who follow metropolitan newspa
pers as well as the current magazines
have undoubtedly come to know Mr.
Soriho as a "big man.' ? lie has de
voted untiring ingenuity in this one line
of work, acci .'./ dishing much, and ho
is looked tiiion to-day as the most ac
complished man who has ever donned
the diving suit.
While his most notorietv probably j
emanated from his excellent work in re- '
.covering the sunken Maine and 132 of!
the bodies that went down with it,
there are many other big pieces of work
he has been assigned, such as the Slo-'
cum disaster and manv others. Through
his cautious observation of the dangers
that confront the diver, Mr. Sorcho has
done more than anv other man to lessen i
these dangers, his invention of the sub- (
marine telephone being easily the most '
important of these. At the Orpheum j
he actually brings a small ocean and |
ship on the stage. His demonstration
is more than interesting. The Or

CONDITIONS IN WAR ZONE
AND PEACE DISCUSSED IN
WHITE HOUSE CONFERENCE
Washington, Dec. 2.—Conditions i>n
Europe, as viewed by Dr. Henry Van
Dyke, American Minister to The NetJh
erlanxls, were up for discussion at a con
ference at tihe White House between
President Wilson and the minister. Dr.
Van Dvke had been invited to be the
hinclheon guest of t>he President. Fresh
from his observation of conditions gen
erally in Europe, Dr. Vau Dyke was
ready to give President Wilson first
hand information. The minister already
had discussed the subject wit'h Secre
tary Bryan.
While denying the report that he was
the bearer of a personal letter from
Queen Wilhelmina relative to peace. Dr.
Van Dyke told t'he Secretary that the
Queen and t)he people of Holland earn
estly desire an early return of peace
among the warring European nations.
That the present does not appear to
be a propitious moment to advance defi
nite proposals for terms of peace, how
ever, was made clear by bhe minister
following his conference wiitih Mr.
Bryan. "The desire of the United
States for peace," he declared, "is a
well-known fact. The decision as to the
proper moment for us to act is in the
hands of my chiefs. The President and
the Secretary of State can be trusted to
determine when that moment arrives "
The hope was expressed by .Dr. Van
Dyke tthalt when the time for settlement
of tihe war arrived, t'he United States
"would play a noble part" in bringing
peace. While certain that tihe heart of
Holland would be with the United
States in such efforts, the minister de
clined to forecast what form the co
operation with Holland or other neutral
•countries might take. The minister was
to leave here late to-day and sail for
Holland December 12.

IN IN FIELD, PARIS SAYS
Paris, Dec. 2.—A semi-official com
munication concerning the German arm
ies in the field made public here last
night says:
"Germany at present has at her dis
posal 25% adtive army 'corps, of which
21% are operating against France and
four againsit Russia. Of the 33 German
reserve army corps, 22'/;,. are now em
ployed against France and 10% against
Russia.
"These figures show that there is a
total of 58% army corps, active or re
serve, fighting for Germany on the two
i'routs, and not 100 army corps as has
erroneously been stated by the German
government.
"If the territorial units (landwrthr)
of which nothing was said in the recent.
German official note, are taken into ac
count, it will be seen that eight
landwehr army coHpe are engaged
against France and seven against Rus
sia—that is to say, in all on the two
fronts, 30 territorial divisions."
As a German army corps consists of
40,000 men, it wild be seen from the
figures given that Germany has 52
eorp fighting against France, or 2,080,-
000 men. Opposing the Russians, the
Kaiser has 21% corps, or 860,000 men.
The total of the German armies in
