FINE FOR THEFT OF COAL James Smith, colored, pleaded guilty in city court this morning to a charge of stealing coal valued at 10 cents from a car on. the C. & O. railroad. He Justified his action by saying that he had not been able to get work and that the township trustee had refused to give him any more coal. "I couldn't see my family freeze, could I?" he asked the mayor. The case was taken under advisement by the mayor. After he had made an investigation he fined Smith $5 and costs and tacked on an additional five days jail sentence. It appears that Smith's wife is being cared for at the hospital and that his family consists of a grown and able bodied son and a young woman to whom Smith is not related. It was also learned that the trustee did not refuse to give him any more coal until after he had furnished him with 1,000 pounds. J. A. STARR DIES AT LOS ANGELES William F. Starr, president of the J.

This crop alone means big profits for the farmers, even though the acreage for this year is larsrer than usual and the yield may create a new record.. There Is little; fear of prices slumping to any extent, despite the prospects of the new crop hainr a TprtrA aha. The farmers are in a position of strength, as the de mand for wheat will continue nroaa Inner after the war In Europe ends. Cither farm reserves are liberal: still prices are relatively high. Confidence in the future prices has caused farm ers to Increase . their gram acreage whAt-ever nossible. and it looks like this policy wlll.net big returns.

TROUBLE FACES

U. S. RESIDENTS If MEXICO CITY i ' Washington Fears Rioting Mobs May Suddenly Attack Americans Still living in Southern Capital. PROBLEM IS WORRYING Carrattza Not to Be Held Responsible If Zapata Injures or Kills Citizens of United States. tEY LEASED WIRE.1 WASHINGTON, March 10. With several big warships speeding to Vera Cruz to exercise "moral coercion" on General Carranza, the Washington ad ministration today turned its attention to the problem of providing means of getting United States citizens out of Mexico City. Although Carranza's answer to the demands of the United States was understood to be on its . way to Washington, the authorities faced a new situation as a result of the reported evacuation of Mexico City by General Obregon and his Constitutionalist troops. . Danger to Americana. It was pointed out that Carranza could not very well be held responsible for what happened in the Mexican capital after his forces surrendered control and Zapata, who is reported to have re-entered the city, took up control. The greatest fear of the government officials, as stated by President Wilson and Secretary Bryan, is for outbreaks of mobs driven desperate by hunger and it is for this reason the state department is trying to get out the several thousand Americans who are still in Mexico City. There was a tendency on the part of the officials, however, to believe that the change In control In Mexico City would serve to improve the situation there. It was suggested that Zapta would reopen communication with the northern section of the country and thus to the United States border through the Villa forces. Plans have been formulated in the state department, it is understood to urge Carranza to reopen their former Vera Cruz t 'Mexico City which recently has been used only for military purposes so that Americans can get to the sea from the capital and there take ship for the United States.

WHAT DYSPEPTICS SHOULD EAT A PHYSICIAN'S ADVICE. "Indigestion ana practically all forms , ot stomach trouble are, nine times wt of ten, due to acidity; virJwefore stomach sufferers should, whenever possible, avoid eating food that is acid in its nature, or which by chemical action in the stomach develops acidity. Unfortunately, sucb a rule eliminates most foods which are are pleasant to the taste as well as those which are rich in blood, flesh and nerve building properties. This is the reason why dyspeptics and stomach sufferers are usually thin.emaciated and lacking in that vital energy which can only come from a wellfed body. For the benefit of those sufferers who have been obliged to exclude from their diet all starchy, sweet or fatty food, and are trying to keep up a miserable existence on gluten products, I would suggest that you should try a meal of any food or foods which you may like, in moderate amount, taking immediately afterwards a teaspoonful of blsurated magnesia in a little hot or cold water. This will neutralize any acid which may be present, or which may be formed, and instead of tbe usual feeling of uneasiness and fullness, you will find that your food agrees with you perfectly. Bisurated magnesia is doubtless the best food corrective and antacid known. It has no direct action on the stomach ; but by neutralj izing the acidity of the food contents. and thus removing the source of the acid irritation which inflames the delicate stomach lining, it does more than could possibly be done by any drug or medicine. As a physician, I believe in the use of medicine, whenever necessary, but I must admit that I can not see the sense of dosing an inflamed and irritated stomach with drugs instead of getting rid of the acid the cause of all of the trouble. Get a little bisurated magnesia from your druggist, eat what you want at your next meal, take some of the bisurated magnesia as directed above, and see if I'm not right." Adv. PHONE 2765
