The Daily Story
Aunt Jennie Intervenes
By M. DIBBELL

1t would have been hard to find a more
dlsgusted youth than was Alfred Gibson
as he ploGded along the dry country road
When nearly an hour earlier he had
alighted from the train, expecting to
find his uncle's team in waiting for him,
not a solitary turnout was visible; and
as the tiny village boasted no livery
stable this meant slx-mile tramp to his
uncle's farm.
No rain had fallen for over two weeks
and 1t was not long before Alfred's per-
spring face began to assume a streaky
look from the settling dust. Fortunately,
he possessed a sense of humor. which be-
gan to asert itself. and a smile showed
through the dirt as he said to himself:
"Blest If l don't play them a little joke
for this. If they are not willing to re-
ceive a respectable nephew, I'll See how
a disreputable one goes. Can't look much
worse than l DO, anyhow"
He proceeded to remove cuffs, collar
and necktie. turn up his coat collar,
rumple his hair and tilt his soft hat,
punched all out of shape, far over one eye.
Before long the tall white gates of
Biglow Farm loomed up before him
through the descending twilight. Assum-
ing the wanderers slouch, Alfred went
up the long drive and to the rear of
the big farmhouse He paused at the

When the door opened Il was not upon
the good-humored face OF Melissa, the
servant, that he gazed, but into pair OF
clear gray eyes, whose owner. Alfred
thought was the pfettiest young woman
he had ever behefd.

But an Alfred's ideas as 10 the yarn he

An astonished expression flashed into
the girls eyes, but she rephed

Feeling decidedly small Alfred entered
the kitchen and seated himself near the
door, while the girl went IN search Of
his uncle. She ran swiftly up the stairs
and into the room where Mr. Biglow and
Melissa were in attendance on Mrs. Big

How To Prevent
Acid StOmaChS And
Food Fermentation
By a New York Phy.ieian.

My experience has forced me to the
conclusion that most people who COM
plain OF stomach trouble possess stom-
achs that are absolutely healthy and
normal. The real trouble, that which
causes all the pain and difficulty, is ex-
cessive acid in the stomach, aggravated
by food fermentation. Hyperacidity irri-
tates the delicate lining Of the stomach
abnormally, causing that full bloated
feeling. Thus both acid and fermentation
interfere with and retard the process of
digestion. The stomach wall Is usually
healthy and normal, but irritated almost
past endurance by these foreign elements
acid and wind. In all cases-and they
comprise a great majority of all stomach
difficulties-the first and only step nee
essary Is to neutralize the acid and stop
the fermentation by taking tn q little
warm or cold water Immediately after
eating, from one to two teaspoonfuls of
bisurated magnesis, which Is the most
effective antacid and food corrective I
have ever found The excess acid will be
neutralized and the fermentation stopped
almost instantly, and your stomach will
at once proceed to digest the food in a
healthy normal manner. Be sure to ask
your druggist for bisurated magnesia
rather than nasnesia in any other form. :"
