SAYS ACID STOMACH
CAUSES INDIGESTION
Excess of hydroehIoric 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 Hy-
per-acidity, meaning, there is an ex-
cess of hydrochloric acid in the stom-
ach which prevents complete digestion
and starts food fermentation. Thus
everything eaten sours in the stomach
much like garbage sours in a 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 heartburn,
hatulence, water-brash or nausea
He tells us to lay aside all digestive
aids and instead, get from any pharm-
acy four ounces of Jad Salts and take
a tablespoonful in a glass of water
before breakfast and drink while it is
effervescing and furthermore, to con-
tinue this for week. While relief
follows the first dose, it is important
to neutralize the acidity, remove the
making mass, start the liver,
stimulate the kidneys and thus pro-
mote free flow of pure digestive
juices.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and is
made from the acid of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with lithia and
sodium phosphate. This harmless
salts is used by thousands of people
for stomach trouble with excellent re-
suits

of resisting Officer v. n. Wetherell

abuse by the officer goaded him into
taking the action. The defendant, who
acted as his own counsel. further set
up as defence that the officer aft
er applying coEtemptuous epithets to
him, swung first at him with his fist,
that the defendant lodged the blow
and then struck back, hitting the Of

floor of one of the Johnson buildings,

had gone across the street and order
ed Duffy to pull his legs off the side
walk so persons could get by without
stepping into the street and claimed
that Duffy struck at him when he
went to put his hand on his shoulder
TO get him to move. The officer de-
MED that he had abused Duffy.
Duffy, sworn as a witness, said he
had not been drinking; that he sat on
the third step smoking his pipe; that
his feet were not on the sidewalk,
and that he had interferred with
the passage of no one. When Oficer
Wetherell told him to move he said
he would and started to go home.
Then the trouble started, he claimed,
relating his version Of what took

WHAT ITALY WAS OFFERED
TO MAKE PEACE
Paris Petit journal Prints Alleged
Concessions Advanced by Austria.


Paris, Jan. 5, SIS a. m.-Germany,
in the name of Austria, offered to
make peace with Italy at the time
when the latter prepared to sign the
London pact of the allied nations
against separate action in making
peace, says the Petit Journal.
Austria, declares the newspaper,

Trentino and the region now occupied
by the Italian forces on the Isonzo.

SIR JOHN SIMON OPPOSES
coMPULSo SERVICE BILL.
Bess the Government and House to
Consider the Difficulties 1t Will Create.

London, Jan. 5, 4.45 p. m.-Sir John
Simon, whose resignation as home sec
rotary was announced yesterday, made
a speech in the house of commons to-
day. in which, after expressing regret
that he had found it necessary to sever
his relations with Premier AsQuith, he
pleaded for rejection of the compulsory
service bill. He said it must be re-
pellant to his late chief to recall that
among the most ELUSIVE of his present
supporters were the very men who for
years had made it their trade to accuse
him without reason of breaking faith.
None could say, he said, how many
young men could be spared or were
hanging back. When the national
register was taken, Sir John went on,
the country was given a pledge that it
had nothing to do with compulsion. He
regarded the voluntary system as a
vital principle of the national life and
argued that among the single men
registered under the registration act
were large groups of merchant sailors
who ought not to have been reckoned
in the total. He asserted no one could
be so bold as to declare after exam
lining the figures, that there would be
left more than a negligible number.
The present bill, Sir John said. rep
resented legislation first and inquiry
afterwards.
"Voluntarism is a birthright of the
nation" he continued. Let the gov
eminent be sure that If they sell it for
a mess of pottage they are getting a
square meal"
Sir John begged the government and
the house to consider the difficulties the
bill would create. He denied that the
facts before the country justified the
assertion that young men had refused
to pay their debt, adding:
do not let us pay Prussian mill
tarism the compliment of initiating the
worst of its institutions
