VERY FEW PEOPLE

Very few people are free from some
form Of indigestion. but scarcely two

Some suffer most directly after eat
ing, bloating from gas in stomach and
bowels, others have heartburn or sour
ris!ngs, still others have palpitation Of
heart. headaches, sieeplessness, pains IA
chest and under shoulder blades. some
have extreme nervousness. as in nery-
Gus dyspepsia.
But whatever the symptoms may be,
the cause in all eases of indigestion ts
the same. that is the stomach for SONS
reason falls TO properly and promptly
digest what is eaten.
This is the whole story of stomach
troubles in a nutshell. The stomach
must have rest and assistance and

great deal of excitement and not a
little heart -burning-to say nothing of

Take Opposite Views.
1t is clear that the people here and
the governing authorities of the mother
country look at the matter from dia-
metrically opposite standpoints.
TO the inhabitants OF Great Britain
the maintaining OF garrisons in this
part OF the world Is only justified by
one considerattcn-the possibility OF at
tack on the West Indian colonies by
foreign powers.
The Government at Washington, how
ever has practically guaranteed the
West Indies against invasion Accord

any garrison in that part of the en-
pire?"
From the Jamaican standpoint the
question assumes a different form The
people here do not fear foreign invasion

time there was q lot of trouble In quiet

But another aspect of the matter in
use of the West Indies appealing to the
imperial government? What can they
hope TO gain? Do they not see that
Great Britain is Indifferent to anything
they may think or say?
England Indifferent
There may be a few politicians in the
the West Indies, but the British people
as a whole do not care the snap Of a
finger whether the West Indies sink or
swim.
The fact Is that the West Indian
colonies are no longer deemed important
or necessarily integral parts of the en-
