heartburn. flushed face, wind, and many
other well-known symptoms of stomach
trouble. The stomach itself is quite
healthy, but it is weakened, irritatet
and inflamed by harmful acid. and until
steps are taken to neutralze this acid,
and so prevent the food fermenting. the
stomach will surely become weaker and

reason why any sufferer should delay

Warren F. Wood. for As years sue
cessful in the mill business and for 80
years overseer of the weave-room in
the Avon Mill, Lewiston, resigned
Saturday, and plans to take a long
rest. Later he may return to business
but not likely in the mill. That his
service has been appreciated and that
he has made warm friends among
those employed at the Avon is demon
strated by the fact that the loom fix
ers. the weavers and the office force
took pleasure in presenting to him
fine gifts as an expression of their
good will. The loom fixers gave him
a fine meerschaum pipe and box of
cigars, the weavers a solid gold chain
and knights Templar charm and the
Office force a diamond Shriner's but
ton. These gifts and the thought
which prompted them were keenly ap-
precated by Mr.. Wood.

Pisgah News and Views.

Pisgah. May lit is sickening to
see the destruction of wheat and oats
In the storms wake. Corn and cot
ton shared like fate.
Since the rains oats and wheat
have come out a great deal. Oats
are too low to cut we'll, but have fine
heads. The stand Of cotton is good
Chopping out will commence this
week. The prospect for a good crop
Is bright. Very little guano is used
and larger acreage of corn is plant
ed. The advanced price Of cotton has
not caused any reduction in the grain
crops, nor any increase in cotton.
Would 1t not be better taste for the
Allies to show their ability to whip
Germany before saying what they are
going to do with her. Talking and
doing are widely different things.
So baby China has got another
spanking from Japan. Maybe she will
make a man of her after while.
