Practical Prescription
Against Stomach Acidity

Nine-tenths of all cases of stomach
trouble nowadays are caused by too
much acid. In the beginning the stom-
ach itself Is not diseased, but IL this
acid condition is allowed to continue.
the acid is very likely to cat into the
stomach walls and produce stomach
ulcers which NAV render a radical surgi-
cal operation necessary even to prolong
life. Therefore. an 'acid stomach" Is
really a dangerous condition. and should
be treated seriously. II is utterly use
less to take pepsin and ordinary stom-
ach tablets. The excess acid or stomach
lhyperacidity must be neutralized by the
administrative of an efficient antacid.
For this purpose the best remedy Is
bisurated magnesia taken in tea spoon-
| full doses in a fourth of a glass of water
after each meal. Larger quantities may
be used. If necessary, as II is absolutely
harmless. Be sure to ask your druggist
| for the bisurated magnesia, as other
forms OF magnesia make effective mouth
| washes, but they have not the same
action on the stomach as the bisursted.

~ got frenzled appeal for judgment
from GAINESVILLE, Ga, yesterday.
There had been an alleged ball
game in that vicinity, and the whole
works had split up over question of
parliamentary law and the baseball
code. This is it:
A batsman, having been given his
base on balls. was strOlling leisurely
in that direction and had not reached

his place at the plate. The pitcher
was in position. and suddenly took It
into his head TO make a play on the

Now, can that man be put out
before reaching first base?" is the
frantic query
For answer. our personal opinion
would be as follows:
Help"
But nobody showed the problem our
way. It's Bills debate.
HERES some more about that new
draft ruling on which the Glass A
leagues are kicking:
President Galloway, OF the Crack
ers, has reply to his recent letter
TO Judge kavanaugh. president of the
Southern League, in which the Judge
sustalns Mr., Getaways contentious
in every particular, and announces his
intention TO go to the mat with the
National Board of Arbitration. if the
new ruling ever works out to the dis
advantage of Southern League clubs
in not getting back direct players
drafted from them into the big show.
As the ruling stands, a player drafted
from Atlanta (Bisland, for instance)
and not making good in the majors,
does not come back TO the Crackers.

Class AA clubs first,
T HE National Board OF Arbitra

tional Association of Professional
Baseball Leagues" writes Judge
Kavanaugh "aud tho national agree
ment, including the draft rule, can
not be changed by this board or by
the National Commission, for that
matter. except when authorized by
the constituents"
Also the judge says:
They can not make baseball laws
that are retroactive; nor can they
make baseball laws which would vio-

And the judge is ready to stand by
that to the finish.
