follows.
THE work on preliminary filter bed
No 10 was completed on Thursday aud
placed in service. The loss of head on
the bed was 1-2 inches which has not
increased any up to the present time.
There is every indication that better
results will be obtained from the OPP
Grafton of this bed than from the re-
naming portion of the plant Daily
tests will be conducted to determine
definitely just what the results may
be.

IMPORTANT PRESCRIPTION
FOR STOMACH TROUBLES

This comes from reliable medical
authority as being one of the most
remarkable prescriptions OF recent
years as demonstrated in the re-
suits shown by its widespread use
in hospital work and private prac~
tice. It is said to give immediate
relief for distress after eating,
belching, sour stomach, dizziness
and headaches. and If used for,
sufficient time will eradicate the
worst dyspepsia. Two ounces
essence Of Pepsin; three ounces
syrup Of Ginger: one ounce Catan-
dir compound. Mix and use one
to two teaspoonfuls after each
meal and at bedtime" Catandir
always comes put up in one ounce
sealed packages. Any druggist
should have it in stock by this
time or he will quickly get it from
his wholesale house. For best re-
suits mix the Pepsin and the Gin
ger, then let stand about an hour
before adding the Catandir. Il Will
be more convenient TO get the in
gradients from the druggist and
mix them at home. Those who
have tried this are enthusiastic
over its prompt and effective ac-
ton. II you are not bothered with
stomach troubles clip out this
Catandir prescription and give it
to some afflicted friend.
