HEN PAYS FOR AUTO RIDE
New York World

Even hen may understand the high
cost of keeping up an automobile. At
any rate, a fowl belonging to D. M.
Kellogg, of Oak Tree, near Plainfield,
N. j., stole a ride in the family car
last Sunday night and left an egg in
the rear seat to help pay for the gaso-
line.
The hen flew into the car Sunday,
it is supposed, because the cushions
made a soft nest. Why she did not
flutter out when the car started that
evening is not known. Mrs. Kellogg
drove to Plainfield without looking on
the back seat. Her first stop was at
Mayor Smalley's place. She was stand
ing talking with him when she saw a
chicken fly from her machine and
alight in the street. 1t looks like one
of my husbands game hens" said she.
A man caught the hen. When they
looked into the back seat Mayor Small
ley and Mrs. Kellogg found an egg.

THE VISION OF BIRDS
(Answers)


If our airmen possessed the vision
of birds it would, perhaps, be well for
us.
No animal-certainly no man-pos-
sesses one half the power of vision
given to bird.
1t is said that the eagle can look
straight at the sun. But this is hard
to decide, inasmuch as it seldom falls
to our lot to see an eagle.
Small birds, however = which all
can see-can notice a speck mile
away.
Notice the alarm" on a fine day
among the birds in a locality. One
minute all the choir is in full music.
Then suddenly a disturbance takes
place Not bird is seen, or heard,
in a minute.
At last the human watches sees a
tiny speck in the sky. 1t comes near
er and nearer. 1t is noticed to be a
sparrow-hawk.
The bird saw it long before the
watcher. Unerringly, too, they put it
down to be a hawk. Hence their
alarm.

community clubs are now in eXis-
tence. The summary also includes a

ACID IN STOMACH
SOURS THE FOOD
Say Excess of HydrochiOric Acid Is
Cause of Indigestion.

A well known authority states
that stomach trouble and indiges-
ton is nearly always due to acidity
acid stomach-and not, as most
folks believe, from a lack of diges-
tive juices. He states that an ex-
cess 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 initiate
the stomach like a toy balloon. We
then get that heavy, lumpy feeling
in the chest, we eructate sour food,
belch gas, or have heartburn, flat
ulence, waterbrash, or nausea.
He tells US TO lay aside all diges-
tive aids and instead get from any
pharmacy four ounces of Jad Salts
and take a tablespoonful in a glass
of water before breakfast while it
is effervescing, and furthermore. to
continue this, for one week While
relief follows the first dose. it is
important to neutralize the acidity,
remove the gas-making mass, start
