PUT STOMACH IN
FINE CONDITION
SAYS INDIGESTION RESULTS
FROM AN EXCESS OF HYDRO
CHLORIC 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 Indigestion is caused by
Hyper acidity, meaning, there is an
excess of hydrochloric acid in the
stomach which prevents complete di-
gestion and starts food fermentation.
Thus everything eaten sours in the
stomach much Ike garbage sours in
a can, forming acrid fluids and gases
which initiate the stomach like a toy
balloon. Then we feel heavy, lumpy
misery in the chest, we belch up gas,
we eructate sour food or have heart
burn, hatulence, water-brash or nau-
sea.
He tells US to lay aside all digestive
aids and instead, get from any phar-
macy four ounces of Jad Salts and
take tablespoonful in a glass of
water before breakfast and drink
while it is effervescing and further
more, to continue tina for a week.
While relief follows the first dose, it
is important to neutralize the acidity,
remove the gas-making mass, start
the liver, stimulate the kidneys and
thus promote free flow of pure di-
gestive juices.
Jads Salts is inexpensive and is
made from the acid of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with lithia and
sodium phosphate. This harmless
salts is used by thousands of people
for stomach trouble with excellent re-
sults.-Adv.

His Ignorance Was Profitable,

writer says In Farm and Fireside:
Claude Mclaughlin of Montrose coun-
ty, Colo, made 1921 from alfalfa seed
from exactly two acres last year, en-
tirely by accident. This two acres of
alfalfa was in its second years growth,
but was on new and unfertile land and
had been so starved for water that he
thought 1t not worth cutting for hay.
He therefore let it stand and contin-
ued without water, preferring to use
his irrigation water on what he
thought were more valuable crops. In
the early fall he noticed the alfalfa
had gone to seed, and there was sur
prisingly large amount of seed. SO it
was cut and stacked and in March,
1916, threshed. He sold the seed and
got 1921 from the two acres. His cul-
ture was the proper thing to grow al
falfa seed. Have thin stand and irri-
gate just enough to keep it fresh, but
not to force the growth of rank stalks.
Then it will make good bloom and
much seed"

RILEY EASY TO UNDERSTAND
For That Reason There Is Class
That Refuses to Recognize Him
I as q Great Poet.

Widely enjoyed and beloved, the
poetry of James Whitcomb Riley will
probably always in our lifetime en-
counter a species of objections in the
minds of many Americans. His poetry
sings. Its force is emotional. It's
sincere charm is absolute, and de-
ponds not at all on being something
like something else-on the audiences
recollection of Greek verse, or IA
miliarity with Japanese art, or i'm
pressionistic landscape. To the kind
of reader for whom a recognizable,
musical idea limits, instead of greatly
liberating the communicative faculty
of poetry, to the kind of reader who
thinks of poetry as species of mere
tight-mouthed and cryptic prose, to
the kind of reader who is worried by
poets who will not give him, so to
speak, any reliable library references
for their inspiration-to such Ameri-
can readers as these James Whit
comb Riley's poetry must always
seem all wrong and misguided. Any
one can understand his songs. Peo-
pie have always been cutting them
out of the newspapers and reciting
them at ice-cream sociables and
church benefits. They are a part Of
the national consciousness.-New Re-

FIFTY FEET OF SNOW
RIGHT IN U. S. IN JULY
Visitors Find It About a Crater Within
Eighteen Miles Of Santa Fe.

Santa Fe, n. M.-Snow fifty feet
deep within eighteen miles of Santa Fe
in July is a fact which is likely to
cause a good many people to revise
their ideas of the Great American
desert" of which so much is heard In
the east.
Visitors at Santa Fe lake and 10 the
top Of the lake and Penitente peaks
have found snow cornices around the
crest of the crater overlooking the lake
basin which sloped off gently from the
top, the outer edge of the snow freak
ing off abruptly in walls which ranged
from twenty to fifty feet In height.
There is no doubt from the measure
ments of these Snow precipices that
the snowfall in midwnter must have
been fifteen to twenty feet in places
and that the peaks were clothed in n
solid mass Of snow from bottom to
summit. There are still masses of
snow scattered all round the lake
which are still four or FIVE feet thick.
But for the warm rains that come
later snow probably would lie in the
basin from years end TO years end.
Despite the hot July sun, the air is so
cool at the peak level, more than 12,O03
feet above the sea, that the snow cor
nices are melting very slowly.
