"WHAT DYSPEPTICS SHOULD EAT A PHYSICIAN’S ADVICE “Indigestion and practically all forms of stomach trouble are, piné times out of ten, due to acidity; therefore sto: sch sufferers should, whenever possi- ble, avoid eating food that is acid in its nature, or which by chemical ac- tion in the stomdch develops acidity. Unfortunutely, such a rule eliminates most foods which are pleasant to the taste as well as those which are rich in blood, fiesh and nerve building pro erties. This is the reason why §ymr- usually tics and stomach sufferers are €0 'thin, emaciated and lacking in that vital energy which can only come from a well fed body. For the benefit of thoss sufferers who have been obliged to exciude from their diet all starchy, gweet or fatty food, and are trying o keep up a miserablé existence. on glu- ten products, I would suggest that you should iry 2 meal of any food or foods which you may like, = in moderate gmount, taking immiediately after- wards & teaspoonful of bisurated maj mesia in a little hot or cold water. This will neutralize any acid, which may be resent, or which’ may be formed, and nstead of the usual feellng of uneast- 3 fyllness, you will .find that your food:agrees with'you :perfectly. Bisurated magnesia is doubtiess the best food corrective and antacid known. It has no direct sction on the stomach;-but by neutralizing the acid- 3ty of the focl contents, and thus re- moving the Bource of the acid irritation which Inflames the delicate stomach lining, it does more than could - bly. be_done by any drug or medicine, A5 a physician, I believe In_the use of medicine: wheriever necessary, but I must admit that 1 cannot see the senase dosing an inflamed and frritated QUCKLY__|ATTORNEYS SUEING F INDIGESTION - York Firm Has Case in Common Most of Tuesday “4n_the: common Waller and e jury was o ther This lawyer ' wanted $500 but was paid $75. The first witness was Milton S. Free- man of New York, who keeps a res- taurant there, and is the brother of Congressman-elect Richard P. ‘man. He had recommended the New York firm of lawyers to Mr. Gavitt. Attorney “Shellabarger also testified and several depositions taken in New “York were read byeAttorney Crandall ‘When -the -plaintiff rested the de- fendant was put on the stand by his attorney. He testifled that the law firm agreed to take the case for $100 and.that he sent them a $60 payment and also a $56 payment which he meant to be in final settlement. He claimed that he ‘had consulted with "Attorney ‘Richard 'P. Freeman as ar- bitrator.and that this attorney had told Jhim_ that $100 would be good payment for the eervices that the New .York firm had rendered. ‘When ' the defendant had rested, the 's. attorney put_Mr. Freeman on 'the stand-in rebuttal’and he direct- ly contradicted the testimony of Mr. ‘Gavitt /regarding - his acting as. arbi- trator of the New York firm’s charge. He said that Gavitt suggested that as Mr. Freeman knew him better than he did the New York men, he could easily be a friend to him by deciding R the ‘i his F‘reemnmlg‘mwued that he would not do such ‘a thing and told Gavitt to leave his office. “He ‘denied that he ever told ‘Gavitt that $100 would be liberal pay if the New York firm got hig brother off, but he sald he had at one time told Gavitt in a convereation in a hotel that he might drop into the New York attorneys’ office and be able to settle the case for $106 through the influence of his brother. He recelved $10 from Gayitt for his tavér, but that Mr. |5 expenses at | that time, but never considered him- | self as Gavitt’s attorney and he did| not find Mr. Shellabarger in he called at the office with his brother, Court adjourned at 4.30.

Sheep Case Settled. ‘When court came in in thé mo the attorneys in the suit of Frank W.

V. Knouse the local agent, but remained at her wharf in New York over night and the greater part o: Tuesday.

Mr. Knouse received word Tuesday morn- ing that the Chelsea had not sailed and later in the day he was. notified by telegram of her departure for Nor- wich in the afternoon. The delay throws the Chelsea about a day out of her schedule but it is ex- pected that she will sail right on time Sunday night. Upon the arrival here this morning the Chelsea will land her passengers and freight and will get un- der way again as soon as possible for New York.

Ve POWER OF CONSCIENCE. Subject Treated by Rev. G. H. Strouse In Shop Talk at Gutlery. The Power of Conscicnce was the subject of the shop talk given by Rev. George H. Strouse, pastor of the First Baptist church en the International Silver Ci factory under the auspices of the Y., M, C. A, Rev, Mr. Strouse said: hen Christ walked up and down in Palestine nineteen centuries ago, the crowds stood in wonder and amazement. as they watched His show forth His glory and wield His Power. They never saw such a dis- play of divine power. They never had Christ_in their midst before. And all thata Jesus Christ did was in harmony with what He was the Son of God. Herod didn't recognize that this mighty personality was Jesus. And I wonder at the slowness and inability of men to grip the truth about Jesus today. Whether we recognize it or not, god of this world has blinded our eves, for satan Is tremendously in- terested in keeping us for ever ig- norant of this Divine Person. Jesus has a passion to win-us for his ever- lasting - kingdom. Men, we have a natural religion and a revealed re- liglon: God gave us a natural religion by speaking in the act of creation. He gave us a revealed religion in the life and death of Jesus Christ, His son. It matters not. men who we. are or what we have. we haven't any peace with a gullty consclence thundering in |in unmistakeable language. Business Men Elected Delegates. Mayor Timothy C.
