MONTH OF MARCH IS NOTED
FOR BIRTH Or GREAT MEN
MANY ANNIVERSARIES OCCUR
IN WINDY MONTH-AlSO
ST. PATRICk'S DAY.

The month of March is noted for the
great men well known throughout the
United States. Probably the most not
ed man born i'm this month was the
late eX-President Grover Cleveland.
The late Mr.. Cleveland was born ON
March Is, 1897, and was one of the
greatest presidents ever holding this
high office in the United States. He
was a man beloved by the citizens of
this country and while in Office ham
died the reins of government with pre-
cision and excellent management.
William Jennings Bryan, present
Secretary of state, who ran for presi-
dent three successive terms, is an
other noted leader of men who was
bonn i'm the month of high winds. He
is at present one of the greatest Dem
ocrats and has immense popularity.
The month also claims another celeb
rity in the person of Luther Burbank,
the man who can unite any ordinary
vegetable in the bonds of matrimuny
and produce an off spring which many
are willing to recognize as Il new veg
ctablc and declare ii wonderful.
one important event transpires in
the third month of the year, which is
the anniversary of a great saint and Is
celebrated as such. ST. Patricks day.
Also on the twcnty-iirst of March be-
gins one of the seasons of the year,
Spring.
March is also important because %
the village elections in almost every
village in the United States and also
many primary elections are held in the
cities during this month
The first steam cutoff valve was in
vented March 10, lS49, since which
time genuses of all natiOnalitics have

Soda For Gas,
Acid Stomach
or Indigestion

Gas, Gas, Gas-When everything
eaten turns to gas and we eructate
sour food and acrid fluids, ii means we
are troubled with acidity, says a noted
authority. An excess of hydrochlOric
acid in the stomach starts food fer
mentation and prevents complete di-
gestion. Then our meals sour in the
stomach like garbage sours in "a can,
forming gases which initiate the stom-
ach like toy balloon, causing a heavy,
umpy misery i'm the chest; we belcn
gas, have sour risings, heartburn, tlatu-
lence, waterbrash and nausea.
He tells us to put aside all digestive
aids and instead get from any phar-
macy a package of 10 grain Sodagen
tablets and take one tablet any time
followed by a tumbler of water which
will instantly neutralize acidity; stop
fermentation, absorb the gases and
sweeten the entire digestive tract.
He further states that those men and
women troubled with chronic acidity
and it's resulting Indigestion, Sourness
