Undigested® food delayed in the stomach decays, or rather, ferments the same as food left in the open air, says a noted authority. He also tells us that indigestion is caused by Hy- per-acidity, meaning, there is an ex- cess of hydrochloric acid in the stomach which prevents complete di- gestion and starts food = fermenta- tion. Thus everything eaten sours in wie stomach much like garbage sours in a ean, forming acrid fluids and gases which inflate the stomach like & toy balloon. Then we feel a heavy, lumpy misery in the chest, we belch up gas, we eructate sour food or have heartburn, flatulance, Wiger- brash or nausea. He tells us to lay aside all dees tive aids and instead, get from any pharmacy four ounces of Jad Salts and take a tabYespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast and drink while ik is effervescing, and further- more, /to contintie this for a week.

Henby. s Name. A VERY ODD COINCIDENCE. The Conqueror of Jerusalem Walked Inio the Holy City, and His Name Proved to Be a Com» bination of That of God and a Prophet, Which ' Impressed Natives, T_ is not pessible to fulfil pro- "phecies by design. Such things only happen by accident. When the Kaiser made his now fam- entry into Jerusalem several ago, he did so with a great amount of pomp in order to impress the natives. He wantéd to make the Moslems believe that he was the long foretold "conqueror of Jerusalem." His showy eniry into the city defeat- ed his own design. According to the belief of the natives of Palestine, the conqueror was to come in a more ous years modest manner. There. exists an ancient Moslem prophecy to the effect that the conqueror of Jerusalem would enter the ity on foot and that nis. name would be the combined GENERAL ALLENBY sames of God and the prophey, Gen- eral Allenby, the story goes, fits the prophecy; his ime is considered to be a combination of Allah, meaning God, and nebbi, theaning the pro- phet. i The odd part of the occurrence is that the British were not thinking of prophecies when they appointed General Allenby to the command of the army in Palestine, His career seemed to the war office to fit him for the task of taking Jerusalem. Gen- eral Allenby took charge of the caw- alry in the Expeditionary Force in France in 1914. He did not take a conspicuoss part in the fighting on estern front, but his previoud experiences: had marked him for such a dashing éxploit a8 the over- running of Palestine. He gerved with 'honor first in the Bechuanaland Expedition in 1884 and 85, and later in Zululand, and he was twice men- tioned in despatches for his good work in the South African War. He had always been assoéiated with cav- alry commands, and in that capacity he went to Frante with General French. He seemed the right man for the -position when the war office desired a successor for General Mur- fay, and he has proved that this time the war office made no mistake.

Spectator, which specializes in correspondence, has recently published a very inter- esting document. It is a letter writ- ten by Napoleon's Secretary of State (Baron Bassano) to the won Kuhl- mann of the day, whose name was Baron von Krusemark-- Frederick William of Prussia's envoy, It shows anew that nothing is changed, least of all Prussian perfidy, and that After stating that he has submitted von Krusemark's note (a declaration of war) to the Emperor, the Baron de Bassano thus admonishes von Krusemark: "That part of the note which is most worthy of serious consideration reduces itself to this: Prussia solicited and concluded an alliance with France in 1812 because the Rugsian armies to the Prussian states. Prussia declares in 1813 that she breaks her treaties because the Russian armies are nearer than the French are to the Prussian states, Posterity will judge if such conduet is loyal and worthy of a great prince and conforms to equity and sound politics. However, that may he, posterity will do justice to the can- sistency of your Cabinet in following its prineiples. "In 1792 France, agitated from within by a revolution and attacked from without by a formidable enemy, seemed ready to succumb. Prussia Three years af- terward, at the moment when France was triumphing over the coalitien, Prusaia abandoned her allies. She and the King of Prussia was the first of the sover- eigns opposed to France to recognize the republic. When four years had scarcely elapsed, In 1799, France experienced the vicissitudes of war. Battles had been lost in Switzerland and Italy; the Duke of York had landed in Holland, and the republic was menaced north and south. For- tune had changed; Prussia chang ed also. But the English were driver from Holland. The Russians were beaten at Zurich. Vietory again vis- fled our standards in Italy---and Prussia again became the friend of France, In 1805 Austria armed She marshalled her armies on the the Russian troops passed the Nie- "The reunion of the three Great Powers and their enormous prepara- tion seemed to forecast nothing but dangers to France.

Prussia tore up as soon as possible the Treaty of Berlin, con- cluded six weeks previously, for- swore the solemn oath of Potsdam, betrayéd Russia as she had betrayed France, and entered into new en- gagemients with us. Out of these eternal changes of policy there was born in the public opinion of Prussia a veritable anarchy. Agitation so took possession of the minds of men that the Prussian Government was unable to control it. Now Prussia spéaks of her desire to reach an es- tablished peate on a solid basis, But how is it possible to reckon upoa, a solid and lasting peace with a power that believes itself ' justified whén It breaks its engagements ae- cording to the promptings of the mo- ment? To-day, M. de Baron, what remains of Prussia? She has done nothing for her old ally; she will do nothing for peace.
