Try Magnesia 'for Stomach Trouble It Neutralizes Stomach Acidity, Prevents Fend Fermentation, Sour, Gassy Stomach and Acid Indigestion. Doubtless if you are a sufferer from indigestion, you have already tried pepsin,ismuth, soda, charcoal drugs and various digestive aids and you know these things will not cure your trouble -in some cases do not even give relief. • But -before giving up hope and de- ciding you are a chronic dyspeptic just try the effect of a little bisurated magnesia—not the ordinary commer- cial carbonate, citrate, oxide or milk, but the,pure bisurated magnesia which you can obtain from practically any druggist in either powdered or tablet form. Take a teaspoonful of the powder or two compressed tablets with a lit- tle water after your next meal, and see what a difference this makes. It will instantly neutralize; the danger- ous, harmful 'acid in the., stomach which now causes Your food to fer- ment and sour, making gas, wind, flatulence, heartburn and the bloated or heavy, lumpy feeling that seems to follow most everything you eat. You will find that provided you take a little bisurated magnesia immediate- ly after a meal, you can eat almost anything and enjoy it without any danger of pain or discomfort to fol- low and moreover, the continued use of the bisurated magnesia cannot .in- jure the stomach in any way so long as there are any symptoms of acid indigestion.

David Harum Continued from Page 7 that as it may, there were now a good many families, most of them descend- ants of early settlers, who lived in good and even fine houses, and were people of refinement and considerable wealth. These constituted a coterie of their own, though, they were on terms of acquaintance and comity with the . "village people," as they designated the rank and file of the Homeville . population. • To . these houese came in the summer sons and daughters, nieces, nephews and grand children, and at the period of which I i ant writing there had been built on the shore of the lake, or in its vicin- WOMENOF MIDDLE AGE Need Help. to Pass the Crisis Safe- ly --Proof that Lydia E.

And so, f& some months in the pleasant season, the village was enlivened by a concourse of visitors who brought with them urban cus- toms, costumes and equipages, and 'gave a ' good dealof life and color to the village streets. Then did Home- ville put its best foot forward and money in its pouch. - "I ain't whata might call an 'old residenter," said David, "though I was part raised on 'Buxton Hill, an' I ain't so well 'quainted with the nabobs; but PoIly's lived in the vil- Iage ever Bence she got married, an' knows their fam'ly hist'ry, dam, an' sire, an' pedigree gen'ally. Of cour," he remarked, "I know all the men folks, an' they know me, but I never ben into none o' their houses except now an' then On a matter of bus'nis, an' I guess," he said with a laugh, "that Polly M allow 't = she don't spend all her time In that,cir- cle. Still," he added, "they all know her, an' ev'ry little while some o' the women folks '11 come in an' see her. She's putty popular, Polly is," he concluded. "I should think so, indeed," re- marked John. "Yes, sir," said David "the's worse folks 'n Polly Bixbee, if she don't put on no style; an' the fact is, that some of the folks that lives here the year 'round, an' ilhvays have, an' - call the rest on us `village people,' 'r' jest as countryfied ,iii' their ways 's me an' Polly is in our'n—only they don't know it. 'Bout the only diff'rence is the way they talk an' live." John look- ed at Mr. Harum in. some doubt as to the seriousness of the last remark. "Go to the 'Piscopal church, an' have what they call dinner at six o'clock," said David. "Now, there's the The'- dore Verjooses," he continued; "the 'rig'nal Verjoos come an' settled here some time in the thirties, I reckon. He was some kind of a Dutchman, I guess" ["Dutchman" was Mr. Harum's generic name for all people native to the Continent of Europe] ; "but he had some money, an' bought land an' morgidges, an' so on, an' havin' money —money was awful scarce in them early days—made more; never spent anythin' to speak of, an' died pinch-. n' the 'rig'nal cent he started in with."

"Yes," said David, "the' was two boys an' a sister. The oldest son, AI- erda went into the law an' done bus'- nis in Albany, an' after -wide moved to New York; but - he's always kept up the old place here. The old man left what was a good deal o' propity fer them day, an' Alf he kept his share an' made more. He was in the Assembly two three terms, an' after- w'ds member of Congress, an' they do say," remarked Hr. Harum with ii wink, "that he never lost no money by his politics. On the ether hand, The'dore made more or less' of a mud- dle on't, an' '°'mongst 'em they set him up in the banlcin' bus'nis. I say `them' because the Verjooses, .an' the Rogerses, an' the Swaynes, an' a. lot of 'em, is all more or less related to each other, but Alf's reely tke one at the bottom on't, an' after The 'd lost most of his money it was the , easiest way to kind o' keep him on his legs." "He seems a good-natured, easy- going sort of person," said Bohn by way of comment, and, truth to say, not very much interested. "Oh, yes." said David rather con- temptuously, "you could drive him with a tow string.. He don't know enough to run away. But what I was gettin' at was this: He an' his wife —he, married one of the Tenakers— has lived right here fer the Lord kndws how long; born an' brought up here both on 'em, an' somehow we're 'vil- lage people, an' they ain't, that's all," Rather a fine distinction," remark- ed his hearer, smiling. "Yes, sir," said David. "Now, there's' old maid Allis, relative of the Rogerses, lives all alonre down on Clark Street in an old house that hain't had a coat o' paint or a new shingle sence the three Thayers was hung an' she talks about the folks next door, both sides, that she's know - ed alwus. as `village people,' and I don't believe," asserted the speaker, "she was ever away f'm Homeville two weeks in the hull course of her life. She's a putty d'ecent sort of a woman too," Mr. Harum admitted. "If the' was a death in the house she'd go in an' help, but she wouldn't never think of askin' . one of 'em to 'tea." "I suppose you have heard it said," remarked John, laughing, "that it takes all sorts of people to make a world." "I think I key heard a rumor to that effect," said David. "an' I guess the' 's about as much human nature in some folks as the' is in others, if not more." "And I don't fancy that it makes •very much difference to you," said John,, "whether the Verjooses or Miss Allis call you `village people' or not." "Don't cut no figger at all," de- clared Mr. Harum. "Polly 'n I are too old to set up fer shapes even if we wanted to. A good fair road - gait 's good enough fer me; three square meals, a small portion of the `filthy weed,' as it's called in po'try, a hoss 'r two, a ten -dollar note where you c'n lay your hands on't an' once in a while, when - your consciunce pricks ye, a little somethin' to pro- mote the cause o' temp'x+ence, an' make the inwurd moniter gait jerkin' the reins—wa'al, I guess -I c'n 'git along, heh?" "Yes," said John, by way of mak- ing some rejoinder, "if one has all one need's it is enough." "Wa'ai, yes," observed the .philosk other, "that's so, as you might say, up to a certain point, an' in - some ways. I s'pose - a feller could git a- long, but at the same time I've notic- ed that, gen'ally speakin', a leetle too big 's about the right size." "I am told," said John, after a pause in which the conversation seem- ed to be dying out for lack of fuel, and; apropos of nothing in particular, "that Homeville is quite a summer resort." "Quite a consid'able," responded Mr: Harum. "It has ben to some extent fer a good many years, an' it's gettin' more an,' more so all the time, only ddiff'rent. I mean,"i he said, "that the folks that come now make more show an' most on 'em who ain't visitin' their relations either has places of their own or hires 'em fer, the summer. - One time some folks used to corn an' stay at the hotel. The' was quite a fair one then," he explained; "but it burned up, an' wa'n't never built up agin be - cause it had got not to be thought the fash'nable thing to put up there. Mis' Robinson (Dung's wife) an' Mis' Truman, 'round on Laylock Street, has some fam'lies that come an' board with them ev'ry year, but that's a- bout all the boardin' the' is now - days." Mr, Varum stopped and look- ed at his companion thoughtfully for a moment, as if something had just occurredto him. "The' 411. be more o'- your 'kind o' folks 'round, conte summer," he said; and then, on a second thought, "you're_ Piscopal, ain't ye?". "I have always attended that ser- vice," replied John, smiling, "and I have gone to St, James's here nearly every Sunday." "Hadn't they taken any notice of ye?" asked' David. "Mr. Euston, the rector, called up- on me," said John, "but I have made no further acquaintances." "E-um'm l" said David, and, after a moment, in a sort of confidential tone, "Do you like goin' to church?" he asked'. "Well," said John, "that depends— yes I think I do. I think it is the proper thing," he concluded weakly. "Depends some on how a feller's I ben brought up, don't ye think so?" said David. "I should think it very likely," John assented, struggling manfully with a yawn. "I guess that's about my case," remarked Mr. Harum, ."an' 1 sh'd have to admit that I ain't much of a hand fer church-goin'. Polly has the princ'- pal charge of that branch of the bus'- nis, an' the one I stay away- from, when 1 don't go," he said with a grin, `"s the Prespyteriun." John laugh- ed. "No, sir," s David, "I- ain't much of a hand fo Polly used to worry at me about t t 11 I fin'ly says to her, `Polly,' I says, Tiltell ye what I'll do., I'll compermise with ye,' I says. `I won't undertake to foller right a- long in your track—I hadn't 'got the req'sit speed,' I says, 'but f'm now on I'll go to church reg'lar on Thanks- givin'.' It was a putty near Thanks- givin' time," he remarked, "an' 1 dunno but she thought if she c'd git me EE ] A T 4..1920e started I'd finish the heat, an' sa we fixed it at that." "Of course,"l said John with a laugh, "you kept your promise?" "Wa'al, sir," declared David with the utmost gravity "fer the next five years I never missed attendin' church on Thanksgivin' day but four times, but after that," he added, "I had to beg off. It was toe much of a strain," he declared with a chuckle, "an' it took more time 'n Polly c'd really af- ford to git me ready." And so he rambled on upon such topics as sug- gested themselves to his mind, or in/ reply to his auditor', comments and questions, which were, indeed, more perfunctory than otherwise. For the Verjooses, the Rogerses, the Swaynes and the rest, were people whom John .not only did not know, but whom he neither expected nor cared to know; and so his present interest, in them was extremely small.
