Put Stomach in

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 a noted
authority. He also tells us that Indiges-
tion is caused by Hyper-acidity. meaning,
there is an excess of hydro-chloric acid
in the stomach which prevents complete
digestion and starts food fermentation,
Thus everything eaten sours in the
stomach much like garbage sours in a
can, forming scrid fluids and gases which
initiate the stomach like a toy balloon.
Then we feel a heavy. lumpy misery in
the chest We belch up gas, we eructate
sour food or have heartburn. flatulence,
water-brash or nausea.
He tells us to lay aside all digestive
aids and instead, yet from any pharmacy

SCOTS Bluff Wants
Editors Convention
for the Year 1916

SCOTS BLUFF, Neb., Feb. 2.-(Spe-
cial )--When the Nebraska Press asso-
citation meets in Omaha next April Scots
Bluff will be represented by committee
bearing a neatly embossed invitation,
asking the association to hold its 1915
convention in this city. The objection
that Scotts Bluff is too far away will
be met by an offer that viii startle the
newspaper people. AS roughly outlined
now. the plan Is to have the members of
fine association met at the most con-
Nenient point by a special train, and
then make them the guests of Scott $
Bluff from the time they board the spe-
cial unfl they are returned to the initial
point. This will overcome the objection
of expense because of long distance pas
senger tariff. While In SCOTS Bluff the
newspaper people will be taken in auto
mobiles all over the great irrigated sec
lions and shown the projects completed
and under way
1T will be big thing for the irrigated
country and big thing for Nebraska. -
said one OF the enthusiastic movers Of
the project. I'VE have been trying for
years to convince Nebraskans, who
really ought to know the facts that we
are not in the sand Hill country, and II
We can get the newspaper men and
women out here and show them that we
have so little, sand that we actually have
to ship II in before we can manufacture
cement blocks. perhaps they will help us
get the truth fixed in the minds OF the
people"
During the year 1914 Scott's Bluff
county produced more than $4,000 600
worth Of agricultural products and there
is now being fed for market in the county
more than 100000 worth OF sheep and
