GAS IN THE STOMACH
is DANGEROUS
A Warning of Acid Indigestion. Prompt
Use Of Magnesa Stops All
Sourness and Pain

Sufferers from indigestion or dys-
pepsia should remember that the pres
ence of gas or wind in the stomach in
varably indicates that the stomach is
troubled by excessive acidity
This acid causes the food to ferment
and the fermenting food in turn gives
rise to noXious gases which distend
the stomach, hamper the normal func-
tions of vital internal organs, cause
acute headaches, interfere with, the
action of the heart, and charge the
blood stream with deadly posons,
which in time must ruin the health.
Physicians say that to quickly dispel
a dangerous accumulation of wind in
the stomach and to stop the food fer
mentation which creates the gas, the
acid in the stomach must be neutral
lied and that for this purpose there
is nothing quite so good as teaspoon
full of pure bisurated magnesia taken
in a little water Immediately after
meals. This instantly neutralizes the
acid, thus stopping fermentation and
the formation of gas, and enables the
inflamed, distended stomach to pro-
ceed with it's work under natural condi-
tions. Bsurated magnesia is obtain
able in powder or tablet form from
Bomar Drug Co., T. N Coleman, Rex
all, and F. J. Ramsey. but as there
are many different forms of magnesia,
it Is important that the bisurated
which the physicians prescribe, should
be distinctly asked for.

kA[ER CAUGHT
FOLLOWING HIS
RECENT ESCAPE
NOTE DCONyICT is AGAIN In THE
TOLLS

Following his more recent escape
the second successful uight since he
began serving a four years term for
manslaughter, Ivey Kaylor, white
Sumter county convict, and noted pris-
oner, was surrounded by officers at the
home of his mother-in-law, Mrs. VIII
liams, belo weslie, at late hour yes-
terday, and is again wearing the chain-
gang stripes this morning.
Kaler had loaded revolver when
Deputy Sheriff Harvey found him con-
cealed beneath pile of meal sacks i'm
the Williams home, but surrendered
readily and made no attempt to use
the gun.
The presence Of Kaler at the VIII
liams home was discovered by Sup-.
Christian and posse who had search
ed for the fieet-footed zebra since he
jumped the gang last Sunday at the
prison camp near the Gammage school
The posse was refused admission To
the house, it is said, and at once tele-
phoned Sheriff Fuller to come to the
scene armed with search warrant.
Before the officers arrived, however.
the first posse was told to come In
and find Kaler, if he was there. The
pursuing posse, it is said, searched the
house, but could not find the escaped
convict. Later, Sheriffs Fuller and
Harvey arrived and the search was
renewed successfully.
Behind pile of barrels in the kitch-
en- and deftly covered over with sheets
or sacks, Deputy Sheriff Fuller put his
hand upon Kaler's head while feeling
the pile. At this the convict gave a
laugh and came from his hiding place,
armed with revolver which he Sc
cured after his escape from the gang.
He made no attempt to use the wea-
pom and handed it over to Deputs
Sheriff Harvey.
He was then securely handcuffed
and returned to the chaingang.
Kaler, who is doing four years
term for having killed an old negro
last July, made mysterious getaway
from the gang last fall and, several
months ago was captured in the North
Carolina mountains and brought back.
People who knew the willy zebra pre-
dicted that he would escape again,
and last Sunday he winged his second
successful fight.
Kaler is worked with the white gang
employed near the Gammage school,
five miles east of Americus.
