ACID IN STOMACH
SOURS THE FOOD
Says Excess of Hydrochloric Acid Is
Cause of Indigestion

A well.known authority states that
stomach trouble and indigestion is
nearly always due to acidity-acid
stomach-and not, as most folks be-
lieve, from lack of digestive juices.
He states that an excess of hydrochloric
acid in the stomach retards digestion
and starts food fermentation, then our
meals sour like garbage in a can, form
ing acrid fluids and gases which initiate
the stomach like a toy balloon. We
then get that heavy, lumpy feeling in
the chest, we eructate sour food, belch
gas, or have heartburn, hatulence,
waterbrash, or nausea.
He tells us to lay aside all digestive
aids and instead, get from any phar
macy four ounces of Jad Salts and take
tablespoonful in glass of water be-
fore breakfast while it is effervescing,
and furthermore, to continue this for
one week. While relief follows the first
dose, it is important to neutralize the
acidity, remove the gas-making mass,
start the liver, stimulate the kidneys
and thus promote a free flow of pure
digestive juices.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon
juice, combined with litbia and sodium
phosphate. This harmless salts is used
by thousands of people for stomach
trouble with excellent results.-Adv.

In Hawaii, fact which is unknown
to all but very few of the thousands
of tourists annually visiting the para

sword.
Its very name Is odd and unusual,
at once arousing the curiosity and the
interest of the stranger who chances
to hear it. 1t is a cactus-like growth,
the long, silky. gray leaves of which
give 1t its peculiar name. The rea-
son for its rarity Is that 1t is found
only on the most inaccessible slopes of
the volcanoes of this group of islands
From the earliest times it has been
appreciated and greatly admired by
the native Hawaiians. who called 1t
'ahinahina" (gray headedl. because
they had never before the coming of
the white man seen silver and there
fore could not apply to the plant the
cognomen which so we'll describes it,

obtain than the famous flower Of Swift
