They Do Not Confine Their Services to Spiritual Needs of Troops. Writing on the work of the Cana- dian chaplains in France, Capt. Chas. G. D. Roberts sends an article ta the Canadian Minister of Militia, in part 'as follows: -- The work of the Canadian Chap- lain Service has been so successful, so rich in results, and conducted along such broadly human lines, that it is impossible to do it anything ap- proaching justice within the space of a newspaper article.

In explanation of these words a well known New York physician stated that most forms of stomach trouble are due to stomach acidity and fermentation of the food contents of the stomach com- bined with an insufficient blood supply to the stomach. Hot water increases the blood supply and bisurated magnesia in- stantly neutralizes the excessive stom- ach acid and stops food fermentation, the combination of the two, therefore, being marvelously successful and de- cldedly pre rable to the use of artificial digestants, stimulants or medicines for indigestion. ref} ied National Service Cards. | The time for those persons who aroused, met on the street of a coast!
