The Montgomery Advertiser Is inclined

Advertiser must know that an official

who Put the kettle Onf

Editor The Advertiser;
The controversy now going the
rounds of the newspapers as to tae
real name of the girl who put the
kettle on to make the tea reminds one
of the old song the soldiers sang around
the camp fires during the dark dayF
of the war.
Each heart breathed a different name,
But all sang Annie Laurie"
1t really does not make so much
difference as to the name, but we all
love the coy, home-like picture sug-
gested to our minds by the verse, and
in imagination can see the tea-kettle
with its pretty china, and the maid
with her dainty apron, making prep
arations for the tea, while the Kettle
Is merrily singing on the heArth.
The verse as ! have known 1t has
two maids making tea, and runs thus:
Polly put the kettle on,
Betty make the tea.
Jenny Is a pretty girl
But she doesn't suit me-"

BIoated And
 Sour Stomach
Need No Longer Be Endured By Suffer
 CTS from DySDeDsia.

The stomach and intestines always contain eyes in health, a small amount of gases. They seem, beth from a chemical and mechanical pOint of view. to be essential. TO some extent at least, to good digestion. A great oesl of common air is swallowed with the food, and the remarkable facility with which air bubbles are formed in the saliva is referrable to this special purpose.
 It follows that oxygen and nitrogen are natural to the stomach, and it has been ascertained that nitrogen is greatly in excess of oxygen. showing some way employed in the vital pro- cesses But as gases are easily evolved by fermentation and decomposition of food in the stomach and intestines, and as saccharine and other fermentable matters dissolved in liquids are present in the gastro- intestinal tube, it results tfat it's aeroform contents are much more complex than is generally sup posed.
 When digestion is perfectly healthy there can be no fermentation and f1atu- lence but as soon as indigestion occurs carbonic acid gas and various other gases are freely formed in the stomach and bowels causing much discomfort.
 The remedies employed for the cure of fatulence may be classified as fol- lows: Those which prevent fermenta- tion; those which favor the expulsion of gas, and those which oxidize and absorb gases Of the remedies which possess the above properties. charcoal is the only one which has the power of preventing fermentation and de- composition of food, and at the same time absorbing all excess gases in the ailmentary channel.
 Medicines which eXpel gases from the stomach, known as carminatives, are not to be compared with a reme- dy which absorbs the gases and pre- vents eructations or b c h n g. STUART'S CHARCOAL LOZENGES are now used by thousands of people who were formerly subject to fermen- tation, decomposition, belching. bad breath. and rumbliDS noises in the in- testinal system. and from which disa- greeable symptoms through the use of these powerful absorbent lozenges, complete relief has been obtained.
 They are made of the finest willow wood. treated by a special, exclusive, carboniZing process. and when sweet ened with pure honey, medicinal pro- duct is obtained which is at once palatable and wonderfully effective in curing these complaints. Purchase a box from your druggist at once for 50 cents and give them a fair trial; the result will more than please you. Send us your name and address and free sample will be forwarded to you by return mail. Address F. A. Stuart O., 200 Stuart Bldg, Marshall, Mich.
