Practical Prescrip-
ton Against
Stomach Acidity

Nine-tenths OF ell casea or
stomach trouble nowadays are
caused by too much acid. In the
beginning the stomach itself n
not diseased but n this acid con-
dition 10 allowed to continus. the
acid is very likely 70 eat into the
stomach wallis and produce stom-
ach ulcers which may render
radical surgical operation neces-
sary even to prolong life. There
fore. an acid stomach Ia really
\ dangerous condition and should
DO treated seriously. II IL utterly
useless to tahe pepsin and ordi-
nary stomach tablets. The ex-
cess acid or stomach hyperacIdIty
must be neutralized by the admin
istration Of an efficient antacid.
For this purpose the best remedy
" bisurated magnesia taken In
teaspoonful doses In a fourth OF =
glass OF water after each meal.
Larger quantities may be used 70
necessary an II Ia absolutely
harmless. BE sure to ask your
druggist for the bisurated mage
nesia as other forms OF magnesia
make effective mouth washed
but they have not the same action
on the stomach as the bisuratsdl

standing up very straight near the
window looking on Fifth avenue, one
hand catching the braided lapel of his
coat as his eyes devoured her with
such real love and confidence showing
on his face that she could not resist
his loves appeal to her. She turned
to his father and answered him cour-

"Then at least Well starve together"
She was rewarded by the exultation

for that later, and besides, he didn't
want to stay away from Mary any
longer than he could help. He wouldn't
take all his things just now; he would
leave a good many behind, so that his
father would be sorry if he ever came

was that kit bag? Johnson would

then checked himself He would not
say anything to the servants yet. He

ret staircase, the boards creaking now
and then beneath his tread, just as
they used to do when he was a child.
Under the caves he spied his kit bag,
covered with dust. He dragged at it,
and pile of magazines and odds and
ends of books fell forward across his
arms. One of them was q battered
cash book, or old diary, bound with a
black and white back, and with many
recipes written in a refined feminine
hand on its blank pages.
Rodney remembered this well. It
was a real heirloom from the Earles,
his mothers people, who had prided
themselves on setting a good table"
Rodney sat down on his dusty kit
bag and turned over the following
pages idly. Some of the recipes were
in an even older hand than his moth
er's-his grandmothers or his maiden
aunts' probably-and now and then, in
his mothers hand again, there would
be a comment written in the margin,
every choice" or Extra good" or
"Well worth trying" The recipes for
these tasty old dishes looked good.
Rodney decided to tuck the book in
with his own things, a venial theft,
and put it by some day for himself and
Mary.
They certainly did sound good. "Old
Harrington meat pie" Hannah Earle's
gold and silver cake" "Susan Pitchers
everlasting fruit cake" Yes, he would
take it. And here was a formula even
tOr soap, and in his mothers hand or
his grandmother's, he could not be
sure which, was the quaint marginal
note: "The cheapest soap in the world.
Unlucky for dirt" And so he had
pitched the old book into the bag,
stolen down the attic stairs again and
bounded, dusty kit bag and all, .1to
the little waiting room where Mary
sat.

"All right, I'll 60 YOU" said Mary.

"Will you just write me note stat

pursued.

He began to write, and as his pen
moved across the paper Mary went on;

Mary.

Without you I'd never have got the
idea-the big idea"
Idea for what?"
"The idea to make money out Of

"Well,' Rodney said, well, I'll just
have to get it, that's all, and you'll be
my secretary"

you'll go stony broke with this long
call"' yelled Mary.
''Well, when can see you again?"
Rodney persisted.
81 shall be at the office till g." said
Mary
"I'll drop in. Father may be home
with the govt" Rodney answered.
Rodney hung up the receiver and
turned away reluctantly. Mary's voice
wasn't it the most wonderful voice in
the world? He took out cigarette
and lit it, finding a quiet seat near the
Forty-fourth street window to sit down
and think things over.
He armed himself with a newspaper,
so that he could occasionally hold it
up and ward off unwelcome chatterers
who might disturb his train of thought.
The armament was not modern enough,
however, to repel the attack of the
alert young man who presently came
and peered over the top of his paper.
"Well, Ambrose Peale," said Rodney,
looking up.
That's me absolutely said Mr..
Peale. "The same ut your service. So
you remember me, eh?"
The sight Of Peales keen and eager
face took Rodney back two years at a
jump. The two boys had met one
night in the lobby of a Boston theater.

like Rodney. Well, if the old man
didn't pay, let him keep his money.
She shouldn't care. 1t was something
to have won a love like Rodney's love
for her. There was something very
lovable about Rodney Martin
In moment Rodney himself bounded
