The first shock of arrest and impris-
onment is to the first offender the great
crisis Of his life. He realizes suddenly
and vividly that the state is not mere
ly political abstraction out Of long
forgotten school book, but a thing
alive, armed with jaw and claw. The
effect Of this is Overwhelming. There
lives no human animal more penitent
and plastic than the first offender on
bis first day in prison. On that day of
all days the state can mold him easily
to its civic needs. Turn him over to
Il man who believes in the bottom good
in him; teach him trade whereby he
may learn to support himself honestly
when released; give him share in his
earnings. so that he may, even though
in prison, support bis innocent wife
and helpless children or, if he is alone.

Says Indigestion Results from
an Excess of Hydrochloric
Acid.

Undigested food delayed in the
stomach decays, or rather, ferments the
same as food left in the open air, says
noted authority. He also tells us that
Indigestion is caused by Hyper-acidity,
meaning, there is an excess of hydro
chloric acid in the stomach which prevents
complete digestion and starts food fer
mentation. Thus everything eaten sours
in the stomach much like garbage sours
in can, forming acrid fluids and gases
which initiate the stomach like toy
balloon. Then we feel heavy, lumpy
misery in the chest we be1ch up gas,
we eructate sour food or have heart
burn, flatulence, 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 glass of water before
breakfast and drink while it is effer--
vescing and furthermore, to continue
this for week. While relief follows
the first dose, it is important to neutral

Jads Salts is inexpensive and is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon juice,
combined with 1ithia and sodium phos-

whether single merchant had

whether there was business man

I told him the truth-and then
he made it clear to me that he would
never go back to our town to start

enough to see that the outlook was
not encouraging. The city had
him hooked, and if he's not spending

starting a store anywhere are
mighty slim; and even if he had
capital I should never be able to in

that new company must pay divi-

years OF its existence, and this forms
invariably a clause of the articles OF
