MAY STOP SKATING
over MORTON LAKE
TO HALT VANDALISM

To prevent 4 repetition Of the van
dalism that was prevalent 81 Morton
lake and park last winter during the
skating season. the board OF directors
Of the park association is considering
either preventing skating altogether
or placing some restrictions on the
privilege.
Secretary Haas said today that the
vandalism OF the skaters last year cost
the assocition over 500. The lake
may be leased during the winter and
skaters be made to pay small sum
Of money for permission to skate. The
money would be used in policing the
grounds.
In order to build fires, every piece
of lumber that could be found was de-
stroyed. A large amount of wire was
stolen, and even iron caps on sewer
manholes were taken. r-*e
I'VE don't have any objection to
skating on the lake, but vandalism
must be stopped" said Mr. Haas. THE
lake and park is private property and
II the board of directors places any
restrictions on skating, trespassers
can be prosecuted without any trou-
ble.'
The board Of directors is also con-
sidering placing lights around the lake
to popularize skating at night. One
of the directors said today that II van
dalism began again this winter, these
conveniences to skaters would not be
made, and q ban placed on skating.

A Physician's Advice on Cause
And CnHA

A Physician's Advice on Cause
and Cure.
A New York physician who has made
q special study Of stomach and intes.
final diseases says that nearly all
intestinal troubles, as we'll as many
diseases Of the vital organs. are direct
ly traceable to a deranged condition
Of the stomach. This In turn Is due
about nine times out of ten to exces.
sive acidity. commonly termed sour
stomach or heartburn, which not only
irritates and inflames the delicate lin
ing Of the stomach, but also may set
up gastritis, and in large majority
of cases gastric ulcers are accom-
panied by hyperacidity. 1t is interest
ing to note that he condemns the use
of patent medicines, and practically
all medical treatment that Is designed
to act upon the stomach lining. stat
inE that the best results are obtained
by the use Of a simple antacid which
acts upon the contents of the stomach
and neutralizes the acidity of the
food thus removing the source of the
trouble. As an antacid he prescribes
ordinary bisurated magnesia. He con-
tends that it is as foolish to treat the
stomach itself as it would be for a
man who stepped on a tack to rub
linament on the foot without first re-
moving the tack. Remove the tack
and the foot will heal itself-neutral-
ize the acid and the stomach troubles
will disappear Irritating medicines
and medical treatments are useless,
60 long as the contents of the stom.
ach remain acid; remove the acidity
and there will be no need for medi-
cine-the inflamed lining Of the stom-
aoh will then heal itself Sufferers
from acidity. sour stomach and heart
burn should get small bottle of bisu-
rated magnesia from their druggist,
and take teaspoonful in a quarter of
. glass Of hot or cold water after each
meal. repeating in fifteen minutes if
necessary, this being the dose which
the doctor has found most efficacious
In all cases.-Adv.

A FINE TREATMENT FOR
CATARRH
Easy to Make and Costs Little.

Catarrh is such an insidious disease
and has become so prevalent during
the past few years that its treatment
should be understood by ALL
Science has fully proved that
Catarrh is constitutional disease and
therefore requires a constitutional
treatment. Sprays, inhalers, salves
and nose douches seldom If ever give
lasting benefit and often drive the
disease further down the air passages
and into the lungs.
If you have Catarrh or Catarrhal
deafness or head-noises, go to your
druggist and get one ounce of Parmint
Double strength). Take this home
and add1V u pint of hot water and
ounces of granulated sugar; stir I'M
til dissolved, take on tablespoonful
times day.
This will often bring quick relief
from the distressing head-noises.
clogged nostrils should open, breath
ing become easy and mucus stop drop
ping into the throat.
This treatment has slight tonic
action which makes it especially eff.
fective in cases where the blood has
become thin and weak. 1t is easy to
make, tastes pleasant and costs little
Every person who wishes to be free
from this destructive disease should
give this treatment a trial.-adv.

It takes hold of the usual cough or

It's truly astonishing how quickly il
