Seen and Overheard at
the Arena Auto Show

An entirely new design in motor
manufacture is shown this season at
the Arena show in the Chalmers
Delage high speed valve in head mo-
tor. which is a feature of the new
Chalmers. This car. which is being
shown for the fire time in Harrisburg,
has attracted the attention of engi-
neers and other motorwise persons
who had heard advanced reports of
the Chalmers intention of building a
new. low priced, siX-cylinder model.
This car is the first car ever built
by the Chalmers company at less than
$500. The contrast between this gen.
erous sized, amply powered modern
automobile and the "old" model of six
or seven years ago is a pretty good
index of the progress which the motor
car industry has made.

Stomach Troubles
Due to Acidity
SO sAYs EMINENT sPECIALIsT.


So-called stomach troubles such as
Indigestion. wind. and stomach ache are
in probably nine cases out Of ten simply
evidence that fermentation is taking
place in the food contents of the stom-
ach, causing the formation of gas and
acids. Wind distends the stomach, and
causes that full. oppressive feeling
sometimes known as heartburn. while
the acid irritates and inflames the del
icate lining of the stomach. The trou-
BILE lies entirely in the fermenting
food. Such fermentation is unnatural
and acid formation is not only un-
natural. but may involve most seri-
Gus consequences II not corrected. To
stop or prevent fermentation of the
food contents of the stomach and to
neutralize the acid and render Ii bland
and harmless, a teaspoonful of bis
urated magnesia. probably the best and
most effective corrector of acid stom-
ach known, should he taken in quar-
ter of n glass of hot or cold water inn
mediately after eating, or whenever
wind or acidity Is felt. This stops the
fermentation. and neutralizes the acid
ity in a few moments. Fermentation.
wind and acidity are dangerous and un-
necessary. stop or prevent them by
the use OF a proper antaeid. such as
bisurated maEnesia, which can be OBJ
tanned from any druggist and thus en-
able the stomach to do it's work proper
" without being hindered by poison
