BRITISH LINE IN ' MACEDONIA SCENE OF VARIED ACTION

(By Asroclated Press) ' WITH BRITISH ARMIES IX MACEDONIA, Sept. 19.--The right of the British .line in Macedonia is formed by the Struma valley. British troops arrived there in June, 191C, when the temperature was 105 In the.rhade and they have been there ever since. It Is an area of varied fighting. A few miles of trench warfare, then-a vast patrolling area of No Man's Lend and" No Man's Sea, the latter being the lake with its flotilla of tiny patrol boats. Most of the fighting has taken place In the Seres plain, once the most fertile tobacco and grain area in the world but now a Jungle of monstrous wild plants which tower high over a man's head so that the whole area is a stifling, bewildering, deserted, wilderness. ' " . The inhabitants have long since disappeared with the unconscious resignation of those who for years have known no visitors but armies, no history but that of death from the impartial bullets and shells of rival invaders, whose quarrels the local inhabitants neither understood nor cared about. The Anopheles mopqulto is now the uncrowned monarch of this whole country. It is a far more deadly enemy than bullets or shells aad armies cannot live in the Jungle, so that this vast area is now only a district for ratrols. The British-have rheir positions on one range of hills, the Bulgarians on the other and their patrols often meet, in that vast, florid NoMan's land. v But since the Bulgarians are always nervous about Seres and the railway they have to occupy a northern strip of the valley and that is where the British continually annoy and harass them. In this area the Brlt'&h are always on the offensive raiding and feinting and doing their utmost to keep the Bulgarians in a continuous utate of nerves.

Bernstorfi's Favorite Church Houses Yankees

WASHINGTON, Sept. 19. Members of the Concordia Lutheran church here, which Count von Bernstorff attended, and whose pastor, the Rev. Paul Menzel, was decorated with the Prussian Order of the Red Eagle for serving as chaplain to the German embassy, have donated the use of the ground floor of their church for a mess hall for the George Washington university unit of the Student's army training corps. The hall is given free as a concrete expression of the wholehearted Americanism of the congregation.

Protest Too Frequent Ringing of Liberty Bells Children have been ringing the Liberty bell at Ninth and A streets, too often and there have been many complaints.

The Journal of Heredity rises to remark that the first mermaid In all probability was not pure invention. In all probability the mermaid story started when some ignorant seafaring man saw nothing less than a manatee disporting himself through the distant waves. At some distance, the scientific periodical observes, the manatee or "sea cow" does not look unlike a human being, the shape of its head and facial formation when indistinctly seen taking on the appearance of life closely akin in mankind.

Acids in Stomach Cause Indigestion

Create Gas, Sourness and Pain How To Treat.

Licking a few War Savings Stamps will cure that excessive appetite for sugar.

Medical authorities state that nearly nine-tenths of the cases of stomach trouble, indigestion, sourness, burning, gas, bloating?, nausea, etc., are due to an excess of hydrochloric acid in the

stomach and not as some believe to a

lack of digestive juices. i ne- aencaie stomach lining is irritated, digestion Is delayed and food sours, causing the disagreeable symptoms which every stomach sulferer knows so well. Artificial digestents are not needed in such cases and may do real harm. Try laying aside all digestive aids and instead get from any druggist a few ounces of Bisurated Magnesia and take a teaspoonful in a quarter glass of water right after eating. This sweetens the stomach, prevents the formation of excess acid and there is no sourness, gas or pain. Bisurated Magnesia (in powder or tablet form never liquid or milk) is harmless to the stomach, inexpensive to take and is the most efficient form of magnesia for stomach purposes. It is used by thousands of people who enjoy their meals with no more fear of Indigestion. Adv. 1
