For one day at least the Feds will
step into the baseball background

ACID IN STOMACH
SOURS The FOOD
Says Excess Of TIydrochloric Acid
is Cause Of Indigestion.

A well-lenown authority states that
stomach trouble and indigestion is near
ly always due to acidity-acid stomach
land not as most folks believe, from
a 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 can, forming acrid
fluids and gases which initiate the
stomach like a toy balloon. We then
get that heavy, lunpy feeling in the
chest, we eructate sour food, belch gas,
or have heartburn, fatulence, water
brash, or nausea. ~:-
He tells us to lay aside all digestive
aids and instead, get from any pharmacy
four ounces of Jad Salts and take a
tablespoonful in a glass of water before
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 1iyer, stimulate the kidneys
and thus promote free flow of pure
digestive juices.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon
Juice, combined with 1ithia and sodium
phosphate This harmless salts is used
by thousands of people for stomach
trouble with excellent results.

The Third ENGAGEMENT.

These three engagements of last
year have been followed this year by
the inability of the English to press
home their success at Neuve Cha
pelle, and by the failure of the
French to break up the German east
ern battle line in the Champagne
Now is being fought the third large
engagement Of the year between the
Meuse and the Moselle, with the
probability at present that it will be
failure like the others.
There remains the possibility that
the new British army, by overwhelm-
ing numbers, may drive the Germans
across one of their lines of commune
cation. But besides the men, the
British may require an overwhelming
superiority of artillery and ammuni-
tion The recent announcements of
Lord Kitchener and Field Marshal
French do not lead to the conclusion
that this superiority in munition ex-
lists.

Tho. Gorgons. j.

The GOrgons We're creatures Of Greek
mythology, mentioned by Homer and
Euripides as being Of peculiarly abhor-
rent aspect. Their hair was composed
Of serpents, their bodies covered: with
scales and girdled with reptiles. with
heads erect, vibrating their tongues
threateningly, while the hSnds Of the
Gorgons, adorned with sharp talons,
were of brass. The gaze of the mon
sters was deadly, all upon whom they
fixed their eyes being turned to stone.
One Of the three terrible sisters was
conquered and beheaded by Perseus,
and as he took flight in the air en- route
for Ethiopia, holding the severed head
in his hands, the drops Of blood which
fell from it became serpents, which
ever after infested the sands of Lydia.

Filipinos Much Interested In SportsI4T.

 What Of it?i
 This: It was the closing sentence of the history of the worlds greatest baseball family. James was the last of the De1ehantys.
 The six sons of an obscure hard working Cleveland tearnster became great ball players. Each. by the bril- liant exploits on the diamond, assisted in carving the name Of Delehanty in fame as enduring as the national game itself. Ed, Tona Joe, James, Frank and will all played in the big leagues.

Ernest Jackson, Al Wagner. Earl Johnson or Hank Mathewson2 Of course not! Yet all of them are ball playing brothers of famous players.

 Ed accomplished many feats with the willow that are remembered to this day. The most famous Of these was probably his achievement in wallcpfng out four home runs and single in five times at bat in one game.
 Ed Delehanty is considered by many as the greatest of old time players and the best natural hitter that ever lived. Almost all of his career was with the Philadelphia. Nationals, but he also played with Cleveland and was. mem -ber of the Washington club when be met his death in 1903, by falling from a railroad bridge.

pROvING by facts and 1igures that the
 Filipino takes naturaIlyto sport, have the natives the ability and physique to compete on even basis with American, European and Australian athletes This question has not been fully an-i swered. and the. query might be ap- plicable to5au yellow and brown races. Close observation of tle native Fili- pfno has led American teachers to be- iieve that In a generation or so the little men might ,so improve that they would have an equal chance with, whites. This would Include all forms of sport.
 There are many who think that the time is far distant before the records of the white men are approached. Again, there are few who, with a; pencil and tab. will show who're the natives have made far greater progress in athletics in given time than did the Ameriean college athletes.
