Oil Burner Man
Insists Most of En-
Working ALI Right

People interested in the oil burners
for heating plants insist that The Bees
story the other day about householders
going back to coal for their furnaces
should have distinguished between the
different kinds OF oil burners on the
market, and installed in different houses
There are at least three different
kinds Of oil burners which have been sold
In Omaha" says an oil burner man, and
If one of them has not proved satisfac-
tory, 1t Is not fair to hold 1t up against
all of them. Our concern has put in nearly
400 in the last two years, and we have
had only two or three taken out, and
those for special reasons which could be
explained. We would know if any others
failed to make good, because our burner
rs sold with a guarantee, so that we
would be called on to take them out IL
they were TO be discarded.
1T is true that the price OF oil has gone
up materially, but the amount of oil
burned depends on the care OF the feed
and burner. and this cold weather has
made 1t necessary to shovel more coal
in the coal furnace as WE'LL" and insists
that the variation in oil burners is less
than in coal burners.
What we object to Is that your article
leads people to believe that no oil burner
can be made a success, when there are
hundreds of them right here in Omaha.

saving they have made by changing"

Acid in Stomach

Acid is Cause of Indigestion.

A well-known authority states that
stomach trouble and indigestion Is near
ly always due to aeidity-aeid stomach
and not. as most folks believe, from
a lack of digestive juices. He states
that an excess of hydrochloric acid in
the stomach retards digestion and starts
food fermentation, then our meals sour
like garbage in a can. forming acrid
fluids and gases which inflsfe the
stomach like toy balloon. we then
get that heavy. lumpy feeling in the
