Stomach Troubles
Due to Acidity
So says EmInent speclaIIst.

So-called stomach troubles, such
as Indigestion, wind, and stomach
ache are in probably nine cases out
of ten simply evidence that fermenta-
ton is taking place in the food con-
tents of the stomach. causing the for
nation Of gas and acids. Wind dis-
tends the stomach, and causes that
full. oppressive feeling sometimes
known as heartburn, while the aciu
initiates and inflames the delicate
lining OF the stomach. The trouble
lies entirely in the fermenting 1000.
Such fermentation is unnatural. eue
may involve most serious conse-
quences il not corrected. To stop or
prevent fermentation of the food con-
tents Of the stomach and to neutral
ize the acid, and render 1t bland anu
harmless, teaspoonful of oisurateo
magnesia, probably the best and most
effective corrector Of acid stomach
known, should be taken in quarter
of a glass Of hot or cold water imme-
diately after eating, or whenever
wind or acidity is felt. This stops
the fermentation, and neutralizes the
acidity in a few moments. Fermenta-
ton, wind and acidity are dangerous
and unnecessary. Stop or prevent
them by the use Of proper antacid,
such as bisurated magnesfa, wnica
can be obtained from any drusglse
and thus enable the stomach to 40
it's work properly without being MN
dered by poisonous gas and dangerous
acids.-M. F. P.

PUBLIC OPINION

Public Dumping Ground Near Grand
Avenue.
To the Editor of the Gate City:
At this particular season, when
there is to be a city wide cleanup
movement, the time is ripe to air the
conditions existing between Tenth
and Eleventh streets, near Grand
Avenue Clean up. Yes. But when
one commissioner Is asked to at least
regulate the dumping there, and he
promises lust one week and there
will be a betterment"-t week
lengthens into several weeks and on
being asked why nothing has been
done, says he has put it into the
hands of the other commissioner. An
other lapse of several weeks and the
other is questioned as to what can be
done about the public nuisance-he
throws up his hands and says: Moth
ing can be done.''
If our officials can do nothing to
regulate these holes, what can the
private individual do to demand
clean block?
7 Just drive past and view this I'M
slightly, to say nothing of this unsant-
tary public dumping ground. The
home of hundreds Of rats-a good
place for these d.sease-carrying rod
ents to live, as there is goodly SUP.
ply Of decaying vegetables. Stops, etc.
along with the old tin cans. ashes,
gutter accumulations, etc.

A RHYME OF EYES.

A RHYME OF EYES.
Blue eyes for summer.
When all the world is glad;
And feathered singers MARBLE,
And trees are greenly clad.
To labor with. to long with,
To smile-to weep-to WOO,
And close, like any blossom,
When all life's work is through!
Brown eyes for autumn,
When on the fallen flowers,
And unresisting grasses
The leaves descend in showers;
Not sombre eyes, but sober,
Rejecting love that's true
Blind to life's beauty only
When all life's work is through!
Grey eyes are for winter,
The silence and the snow
When winds are keen and cruel,
And clouds are dull and low.
They see the rifled branches,
The frost upon the lane,
And sorrow for summer
That will not come again.

The Straw Stack That Pays.

The season Of the year Is fast ap
preaching when bedding is an item Of
considerab ble Importance. Its value Is
twofold. In the first place. 1t makes
the stock comfortable and, In the sec.
und place, 1t increases til } size Of the
manure pile. Both Of these deserve
consideration. l do not believe that
bedding can be made to take the place
of feeding, but it is plainly evident
that the animal which is comfortable
is most profitable, and in so far as you
are able to increase profits, although
yeu will not be able to reduce the feed
bill, economy in bedding means using
all the straw you can. Try to manage
so that the stack will last from one
thrashing time until another, but do
not try to keep it year after year. The
straw stack that does the most good
on the farm is the straw stack that
gets into the manure pile through the
process Of bedding and gets back on to
the land before the fertility has leach,
ed out and drained aWsy.--Kimbalrs
