STOM ACH TROUBLES
DUE TO ACIDiTY

So-called stomach troubles,
such as Indigestion, wind, stom-
ach-ache and inability to retain
food, are in probably nine cases
out of ten simply evidence that
fermentation, the result of excess
acid, is taking place in the food
contents of the stomach, causing
the formation of gas. Wind dis
tends the stomach and causes that
full, oppressive feeling sometimes
known as heartburn, while the
acid irritates and inflames the
delicate lining of the stomach.
The trouble lies entirely I'm the ex-
cessive secretion of acid and the
fermentation of food. Such fer
mentation Is unnatural and may
involve harmful consequences II
not corrected. To stop or prevent
fermentation of food contents of
the stomach and to neutralize the
acid, and render 1t bland and
harmless, teaspoonful OF Bisur-
ated Magnesia, perhaps the best
and most effective corrector OF
acid stomach known, should be
taken In q quarter of glass of hot
or cold water Immediately after
eating, or whenever wind or
acidity is felt. This stops the fer
mentation, and neutralizes the
acidity in few moments. Fer
mentation, wind and acidity are
unnecessary. Stop or prevent
them by the use OF a proper ant
acid, such as Bisurated Magnesia.
which can be obtained from any
druggist, and thus enable the
stomach TO do its work properly
without being hindered by gas and
excessive acid.

N. Y. EAT MEAT?
"NEIGH! NEIGH!''

NEW YORK, Jan. 21.-New
Workers are not taking kindly to
the horse meat diet the board OF
health recently authorized the
butchers to provide them.
About the only effect the horse
meat move has had on the public
is the revival of that good old gag
about Neigh! Neigh!"
AS revised to date it goes like
this:
Butcher-"Can't I sell you some
nice horse steak today?"
Customer-"Neighi Neigh!"
At which the butchers boy is
expected always to laugh. Sort
of a horse laugh, you know.
The public officials have made
some serious effort to get the
horse meat sales started, declar-
ing they believe it would be a good
thing economically.
Health Commissioner Emerson
points out that horse meat is

KING OF COCOS
ISLES is DEAD

inal Comic Opera Kingdom The
Land of Cocos-which lies upon
the shimmering silver lap of the
South Seas.
Andy Ross was Scotch adj
venturer who, after a rowing
youth, discovered and decided to
cast his lot as king with the
motley inhabitants of the little
story book kingdom.
From 1927 until his death he
was the oldest king, with the
queerest subjects and the most
extraordinary domain in all the
world.
Ross was king, court, govern
ment and owner of this group of
Indian ocean isles, 20 in all,
whose only excitement in its his
tory occurred during the present
war--the destruction OF the Ger
man cruiser Enden by the Aus
tralian battleship Sydney, off its
coast.
Then the cruiser Emden was
sunk off the islands. Aside from
this the only unusual events
the islands have had its cyclones.
The natives, king, royalty and all,
out-maneuver nature on these oc-
easions by rushing into the
lagoons and standing in water up
to their necks until the blow sub

ONLY ONE ROAD TO SUCCESS
Choose Your Work According to Your
Qualifications and Have Conf.
dence In Your Ability.

The woman who believes in herself
can accomplish things that to her TIM
ld-minded sister would be impossible.
Perhaps nowhere is confidence so es-
sential as in the business world, and
the girl or woman who aspires to a
business career, yet has no confidence
in her ability to succeed, had better
seek some other means of livelihood.
A seemingly impossible task may
confront one, but should the person
to whom such task falls lose conf
dence the result nine times out of
ten is failure. Most difficulties are
difficulties on the surface only. Conf
dence, grit and common sense are a
trio that cannot be beaten. Why not
apply generous application of all
three to the difficulty which looms up
before you and make you faint hearted
and almost helpless?
The most successful people in all
lines of human endeavor are, as a
rule, people who believe in themselves.
Many of these people have few adj
vantages, but by sheer will power
confidence in their ability-they sue
coed. Confidence is needed more to-
day than ever before.
It's an old saw, and true one,
that you cannot fit square peg into
round hole" Many women are do
ing, or trying to do, work for which
they are not fitted. The girl who has
an aptitude for sewing, can blend col
ors harmoniously and knows what
good lines are, should never be ad-
vised to study stenography. Such a
girl would develop into a first-class
dressmaker, but as a stenographer she
would never reach very high stand
ard.
Such women-the right women in
the wrong work-always lack conf
dence; yet the wise person will study
her qualifications, and If she finds
herself not equal to the work she
has accepted, will try to secure a po-
sition suited to her ability.
Most of us can do something fair
ly well, and II we find the work con-
genial. the only logical course to fol-
low is to bring our very best efforts
into that work, and we must believe
in ourselves If the work is to be done
smoothly and well.
Study your ability; improve; believe
in yourself, and you will surely sue
coed, Women who have confidence
are generally successful and happy
women. We oil want to be both. From
past experience you know how doubt
has retarded your ability. Then use
will power-believe in yourself, and
life will be worth Philadelphia

.CANADA'S PLANS
FOR WAR REVENUE
So Wisely Distributed That Tax
alton viii Affect Farmers to
a Degree Practically
UnnoticeabIe.

So many rumors have been circu-
lated regarding war taxation In
Canada that the statement made by
Sir Thomas White, Canadian Minister
of Finance, of the Governments plans
for raising war revenue should be giv-
en- the widest circulation. Sir Thomas
made 1t clear that the revenue will be
raised by taxing the profits of incor-
porated companies whenever those
profits exceed seven per cent, and the
profits of unincorporated firms or part
nerships when the profits exceed ten
per cent. On all such excess profits
these companies or firms will have to
contribute one-quarter to the Govern
ment. Transportation companies,
banks, mining, milling, and other COM
panies will be subject to this taxation
but life insurance companies, and com.
panies with less than fifty thousand
dollars capitalization, and companies
firms, or individuals engaged In agrk
culture or stock raising, are exempt,
and pay no part Of this taxation. The
only other additional taxation pro-
posed is an increase of fifty cents q
barrel in the customs duty on apples.
and one-half cent gallon in customs
duty on certain kinds of oils.
It will be noticed that this taxation
is being applied in such way that 10
does not affect farmers in the slight
est degree, except, perhaps, through q
small increase In cost of apples and
oil. The war revenue is to be paid out
Of the profits of the big firms and COM
panies with capital of over fifty thou
sand dollars, and even these are al
lowed seven per cent in some cases.
and ten per cent in others. of clear
profits before they have to pay any
part of this taxation. It will be seen
that the whole policy is to place the
war expenditure taxation on those who
have been making big profits and are
able to pay 1t, and to encourage farm
ing and stockraislng by exemptlng
farmers and stock-ralsers from the tax
alton. This ought to set at rest every
rumor that the farmer or the farmers
land Is being taxed to pay the cost Of
the war.-Advertisement.
