HOW TO CURE
STOMACH TROUBLES

Excessive acid in the stomach. or
hyperacidity, as it is called. is pri-
marily responsible for nearly all cases
of indigestion. dyspepsia, gastritis, and
flatulence and quite frequently leads to
stomach ulcers The successful treat
ment for prevention as we'll as cure OF
such cases depends entirely on neutral
izing the excess acid, stopping the food
fermentation, and healing the inflamed
mucous membrane that lines the stom-
ach. For this purpose specialists are
now advising the use of pure bisurated
magnesia, which has recently been
found to be unequalled In the treat
ment of even the severeSt cases a tea
spoonful in little water immediately
after eating stops all pain almost in
stantly, neutralizes the acid. and
soothes the inflamed stomach and If
regularly used will quickly remove
the cause of the trouble and effect
complete relief.

Truthful James.

Jim had been brought up in the
country and the paths of righteous
ness. Even as a child he had been
truthful little fellow, and this rare
virtue did not desert him when he
came to mans estate-which is queer,
as things go.
1t so happened that he was on one
occasion hailed before the bench
charged with poaching. 1t was a mis-
take on the part of the police, and
James was Indignant Quivering with
rage. he denied that he had ever, on
this or any other occasion. shot a
bird out of season or belonging to
someone else.
"Oh, | say now" protested the
magistrate. DO you mean to tell me
you have rovo~ in your whole lif"

right to--never. except once. and that

How to Clean Your Panama.

Here is the proper way to so about
removing the soil of the summers wear
from your Panama hat and making it
look like new before you put it away
for the winter:
Select a hot, sunny morning for the
cleaning, and provide yourself with
nail brush and any good white soap,
ammonia, glycerine and hot. water.
White soap is advised, as it does not
contain so much alkalia as the heavier
soaps: ammonia has excellent bleach
ing qualities, and the glycerine makes
the hat supple and glossy when dry
and clean. Use deep basin that will adj
nit the immersing of the entire hat.
Make suds with the soap and water
and rub the hat gently with the brush,
inside and out Now and again dip the
hat beneath the water and examine IT
for any spots or stains.
When thoroughly clean rinse 1t in
fresh water of the temperature In
which it was scrubbed. In this rinsing
water put the ammonia, about table,
spoonful to each gallon, Of water. Rinse
