SAYS ACID STOMACH
 CAUSES INDIGESTION
Excess of HydrOch1oric Acid Sours the Food and Forms
 Gases.

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 digestion and starts food fermentation. Thus everything eaten sours in the stom- ach much like garbage sours in can, forming acrid fluids and gases which initiate the stomach like a toy balloon. Then we feel a heavy, lumpy misery in the chest, we belch up gas, we eructate sour food or have heart burn, flatulence. water-brash or nausea.
 He tells us to lay aside all dtges- tive aids and instead get from any pharmacy four ounces of lad salts and take a tablespoonful in glass of water before breakfast and drink while it is effervescing and further more, to continue this for a week. While relief follows the first dose, it is important to neutralize the acid ity, to remove the gas-making mass, start the liver, stimulate the kidneys and thus promote a free flow of pure digestive juices.
 lad Salts is inexpensive and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combine with lithia and sodl- um phosphate. This harmless salts is used by thousands of people for stomach trouble with excellent re- suits --..

 Circles Where Miss Kennedy Gets

New York, Jan. 27.-As a conse- quence of her withdrawal in a huff from the show of the American Pomeranian club on Tuesday at the Hotel McAlpin, Miss Marion Ken nedy, of Hampstead, has been sus- pended for six months by that or ganization. The action was taken at Q meeting of the bench show com mittee at the hotel at a late hour on Tuesday night One effect will be that Miss Kennedy, who has one of the strongest and most valuable col lections of Pomeranians in the coun- try, will be unable to exhibit them at the coming show of the Westminster Kennel club at Madison Square Gar den.
 It developed that Miss Kennedy, who is the daughter of Mrs. H. Van Renssaeler Kennedy and a sister of Mrs Eric J. Winston, has many sup porters in the club and on their ac- count the committee was reluctant to take it's decisive action.
