As a specialist who has spent many years in the study and treatment of stomach troubles, 1 have been forced to the conclusion that most people who complain of stomach trouble possess stomachs that are absolutely healthy and normal. The real trouble. that which causes all the pain and difficulty, is acid in the stomach, usually due to, or aggravated by, food fermentation. Acid irritates the delicate lining of the stomach and food fermentation causes wind which distends the stomach ab- normally, causing that full bloated feel- ing. Thus both acid and fermentation interfere with and retard the process of digestion. The stomach is usually healthy and normal, but irritated al- most past endurance by these foreign elements—acid and wind. Inall such cases -and they comprise over 90 - per cent. of all stomach difficulties—the first and only step necessary is to neutralise the acid and stop the fermentatfon by SPEED UP FREIGHT MOVEMENT In order to facilitate train move- reents and release passenger train crews for other work, the railways of the United States are making drastic reductions compared to 'w'hiieh those in Canada early this year appear mild. .Thus, for instance, the Pennsylvania Railroad merely on its lines east of Pittsburg has eliminated no less than 102 trains, or more than double the number taken off the whole of the Canadian railways, This will out down the passenger movement by an amount equivalent to 2,268,000 train miles per annum or over 6,500 train miles every week day, A number of parlor cars, restaurant cars and ob- servation cars are being discontinued. The Boston and Maine has taken off no less than 255 trains, or more than five times the number taken off in Canada, saving approximately 41,000 train miles per week. Strenuous ef- forts are also being made to increase the carload and to impress on mer- chants the importance of rapid un- loading so that the freight equipment shall be kept busy to its utmost ca- pacity, and terminals should be kept clear. The American railroads realize that speed in freight movement is one of the greatest aids they can give to help win the war and according to all reports are achieving remarkable re- sults. It is up to Canadians to see that Canada is not left behind in this patriotic race. Don't Be Penny Wise.

Neither am I going to try to trace the history of the events which led up to the war- which has staggered human- ity.

Germany thought that the English were blind, and that for the sake of gain we should remain neutral and there the more adventurous of the never lift a finger while she swept operatives found their way to recruit- ing stations. But the response was not large; partly for the reason that the reality of their country's call had not carne to them with its full meal - ing. One evening Tom found himself of a commonplace lad in a workaday talking with young Waterman, who had been away from Brunford for town, and what influence the great world convulsion had upon his life.

In about six weeks' time they will be on their knees crying for Mercy." That was the general feeling of the town during the first fortnight of the War, and when as day after day the brave little Belgian army at Liege. held out against the advancing Huns there was great confidence. "They havehad their time -table smashed to smithereens at the first go," was the joyful comment, "Wait till our lads get across, they'll let 'em know."

The war is enlarging our dictionary, and we are growing accustomed to many terms which, in pre-war days, rarely or never fell upon our ears. Blighty, flag -day, strafe, "little • bit," summer -time, are examples. The lat- j ter word, in all its war -paint, actually appears in the latest volume of the new English Dictionary. But some words are still required, so get busy and see whether you can. find them! To start with, can you think of a good term for allotment -holder?

DISTANT AS SOME MAY IMAGINE. Electricity Is Just Coming Into It8 Own and Will Replace Coal For All Purposes. Who can prophesy the effect elec- tricity will have on our future life? It is beyond the wildest dreams of Jules Verne. The country will be covered with a network of wires which, view- ed from an airplane, would resemble a huge sieve. Whether it be for actuat- ing a transcontinental railway system or for cooking a "stepless meal" on the dinner table, all our power and heat will some day be drawn from this sieve. Dr. Charles P. Steinmetz, the elec- trical wizard at Schenectady, U,S.A., wrote': "When we use nothing but electrical power for heating as well as for other purposes, the supply will come through transmission lines from big central stations of many million horsepower. These stations will be lo- cated wherever power is available, such as at waterfalls, coal mines and oil and gas wells. This will do away with the wasteful process of hauling coal from the mines to the relatively small power houses scattered all over the country. As Cheap As Water. "It may be that at the coal mines, instead of taking out the coal and burning it the way we do now, power will be generated in the mine itself by setting the coal in the veins on fire, No—this is not beyond the dream of possibility. It has already been seri- ously proposed by an eminent English scientist. Startling will be the changes effected by such a supply of electricity. Electrical power will be used so generally that it is very like- ly the cost will be en the basis of a tax, like our water tax. For example, so much a plug, as we are now charg- ed so much a faucet. It will be very cheap and it will not pay toinstall meters and have them read and keep the accounts in the offices of the elec- tric companies.

The former czar of all the Russias is not a man of resource, says the Lon- don Mail, and he is feeling horribly bored with nothing to do but to water his flowers and talk to the wife of his bosom on the telephone—in the pre- sence of a guard. He is allowed to see his children, but also only under supervision. One of his girls became so unhappy at his plight—it is the Grand Duchess Marie, • who dotes on him—that she had a nervous break- down. The other girls, with the czarevitch, try to keep up their spirits with tennis and lessons and music. Tatiana, the second girl, has quite a lovely voice and is as musical as her brother. Had her lines been east in other places she might have made her fortune as it prima donna. As it is singing means good fun to her. Those who have come in contact with the czarevitch feel very sorry for the poor little chap for the change in his life. He was patriotic above all things, and it was a passion with him . to stay with his father at headquar tees. Although he had been rather a terror as boys go before the war, his keenness to serve made him behave well, and the officers of the chief staff, instead of finding him a nuisance, say that he was as willing to do his bit as any common or garden scout boy. He was found one day tearing up the photographs of all his German re latives. When he came to that of the Grand Duke of Hesse he sent fiat his youngest sister, who is his ehii pal. "Look here, Nestle," he sad "can I tear up mother's brother?" "Of course," said Nestia, "as he's a Gee - man!" Together the two children tore the photograph to bits and stamp- ed them tinder foot, cheering wildly Ali they did so. Don't regard any timesaving me- thod of doing housework as shiftless$ it isn't.
