DEAR SIR
~ You may talk about the lnfenor1ty Of the malls
and try to prove by saying that the ROSTERS do
the growing and the hens produce the goods, but
have a rooster who believes in strict honesty in the
egg business. Whenever he hears hen running
about cackng drives her to her nest and looks in.
II she has not laid egg he drives her the nest
and he keeps her there until she has laid the egg It
takes him nearly twothrds Of every day to go around

is something that will prepare these

HOW TO PREVENT
ACID STOMACHS AND
FOOD FERMENTATION
nv a stomach Specialist

AS a specialist who has spent many
years in the study and treatment OF
stomach troubles, l have been forced TO
the conclusion that most people VINO
complain of stomach trouble possess
stomachs that are absolutely healthy
and normal The real trouble, that
which causes all the pain and diff
Guilty, is excessive acid In the stomach,
aggravated by food Fermentation.
Hyper-acidity irritates the delicate lin
ing of the stomach and food fermenta-
tion causes wind which distends the
stomach abnormally, causing that full,
bloated feeling. Thus both acid and fer
mentation interfere with and retard the
process of digestion. The stomach is
usually healthy and normal. but irri-
tated almost past endurance by these
foreign elements-acid and wind. In all
such cases-and they comprise over ~
per cent. of all stomach difficulties
the first and only step necessary is 10
neutralize the acid and stop the fermen-
tation by taking in little warm or
cold water Immediately after eating,
from one to two teaspoonfuls Of bisur-
ated magneSia, which is doubtless the
Sest and only really effective antacid
ana food corrective known. The acid
will be neutraliZed and the fermenta-
tion stopped almost instantly, and your
stomach will at once proceed to digest
the food in a healthy, normal manner.
Be sure to ask your druggist for the
bisurated magnesia, as | have found
other forms utterly lacking in its pc
culiarly valuable properties-F. j. u.

apprehensions which kept him rest
lessly awake at night had oome at the
next staff council after the fall of the
Twin Boulder Redoubt With the last
approach to the main line of defense
cleared, one chapter of the war was
finished. But the officers did not man
ifest the elation that the occasion
called for, which is not saying that
they were discouraged. They had no
doubt that eventually the Grays would
dictate peace in the Browns capital

repressed professi1 1.lal irritation, Not

were concerned, the nicely planned

THE EASIEST WAY
TO END DANORUFF
Stop Falling Hair and Itching
Scalp

There is one sure way that never
fails to remove dandruff completely
and that is to dissolve it. This de-
stroys it entirely. To do this. just get
about four ounces of plain, ordinary
liquid arvon; apply 1t at night when
retiring use enough to moisten the
scalp and rub it in gently with the
finger tips.
BY morning most, If not all, of your
dandruff will be gone, and three or
four more applications will complete
ly dissolve and entirely destroy, every
single sign and trace of it, no matter
how much dandruff you may have.
= You will find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop in
stantly, and your hair will be fluffy,
lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and
look and feel hundred times better.
If you want to keep your hair look
ing rich, do by all means get rid of
dandruff, for nothing destroys the
hair so quickly. 1t not only starves
the hair and makes 1t fall out. but 1t
makes it stringy. straggly, dull, dry.
brittle and lifeless, and everybody no
tices It, You can get liquid arvon at
any drug store. 1t is inexpensive,
and four ounces is all you will need.
This simple remedy has never been
known to fails-Advertisement,
