If people who suffer more or less

OF taking a teaspoonful of Bisurated
Magnesia in quarter glass of hot
water right after eating they might

Magnesia mixing with the digesting
food and stomach juices promptly and
effectively sweetens all excess acid,
prevents fermentation and souring of
food and insures a normal and painless
digestion that possibly you have not
experienced before in years Get
rev ounces of the pure Bisurated Mag
nesia from the nearest drug store and
try it and see. Il is harmless to the

ach purposes be sure to get Bisurated
Magnesia rather than Magnesia In
other forms as this is specially pre-
pared for neutralizing stomach
acidity.-Adv.

THE great boom in business Is largely
responsible for the increase in receipts

increase in wages has in itself result
ed in a larger consumption of taxable
articles, greatly augmenting the govern
ment's revenue"

cording to revenues received, while con-
sumption of beer has decreased during
the fiscal year, For the first ten months
