How To Prevent
Acid Stomach And
Food Fermentation
BY A NEW YORK PHYSICIAN

MY experience in the treatment OF
stomach diseases has forced me to the
conclusion that most people who com
plain of stomach trouble possess stom-
achs that are absolutely healthy and
normal. The real trouble, that which
causes all the pain and difficulty is
excessive acid in the stomach, aggra-
waited by food fermentation. Hyper -
acidity irritates the delicate lining or
the stomach abnormally causing that
full bloated feeling. Thus both acid
and fermentation interfere with and
retard the process of digestion The
stomach is usually healthy and normal
but irritated almost past endurance by
these foreign elements-acid and wind.
In all cases-and they comprise a greaI
majority of, all, stomach diffculties-
the first and only step necessary is To
neutralize the acid and stop Nthe fer
menta ton by taking in a little warm
or cold water Immediately after eating,
from one to two teaspoonfuls of bisur-
ated magnesia, which is the most ef-
fective antacid and food corrective
have ever found. The excess acide will
be neutralized and the fermentation
stopped almos instantly. and your stom-
dch Will at once proceed to digest the
food in healthy normal manner. B.
sure to ask your druggist for bisurateo
magnesia which Is the form of magne-
sia especially recommended for acio

Then the tremendous fire of the Ger

until the whole field was lost in vast
clouds of smoke. The attacking in
fantry vanished in that grim pail while
high overhead scores of sausage bal
looms and hundreds of aeroplanes,
their wings cleaning like silver in the
brilliant sunlight, strove vainly to see
what was passing beneath them.
Then across the dead fields arose a
signal from Morval which told that
the British infantry had reached an
other goal and that another village
was taken. A man at a telephone in
a nearby signal station called out the
capture of the different strong points

Hair Often Ruined
By Washing With Soap

Soap chould be used very carefully.
If you want to keep your hair looking
its best. Most soaps and prepared
shampoos contain too much alkali.
This dries the scalp. makes the hair
brittle, and ruins It.
The best thing fog steady use is
just ordinary mulsified cocoanut oil
(Which is pure and greaseless). and Is
better than the most expensive soap
or anything else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse
the hair and scalp thoroughly. Sim
ply moisten the hair with water and
rub it in. 1t makes an abundance of
rich, creamy lather, which rinses out
easily, removing every particle of dust,
dirt. daadruff and excessive OIL. The
hair dries quickly and evenly, and 1t
leaves the scalp soft, and the hair fine
and silky, bright. lustrous. fluffy and
easy to manage.
You can get mulsifled cocoanut oil
at any pharmacy. it's very cheap, and
a few ounces will supply every MEM
ber of the family for months.-Ad-
