GR0CERS FIX
DELIVERY HOURS

Since the food situation has be-
come SO acute, the very greatest
problem confronting the retail
grocers Of America has been the
delivery systei4.. Ttlasa,,satts o.
grocers throughout this land have
abolished the system entirely. A
good many others have put the
limit Of purchases to TWO,
THREE ard -FOUR DOLLARS to
be delivered. Still others are de-
livering only during the morning.
Now, we, the undersigned re
tail grocers Of Scotland Neck,
have given this matter consider
able thought and have discussed
it in all its phases, realizing that
it is absolutely impossible to con
tinue it as we have, since the prof
it's on foodstuffs have become SO

pensive, horse feed, buggy and
wagon repairs well-night out OF
reach. and wages for delivery
boys higher than ever before. to
say nothing Of the approaching
winter. which renders it difficult
to deliver.
At a meeting Of the Retail Gro
crs Of Scotland Neck, on Nov. ~,
# was decided that to discontinue
delivering altogether would work
too great a handicap and incon-
yenience on our very best friend, !,
the housewife; so we decided, at
ter carefully discussing the mat
ter. to reduce the service to reas-
enable limits, both as to purchases
and time in which to deliver, re
alizing that our customers and
friends would not only be willing,
but ANXIOUS, to cooperate
with us in making it possible to
continue delivering groceries III

Therefore, we, the undersigned
Retail Grocery Dealers, are forced
to limit our deliveries as follows
From eight o'clock in the morn
inc to twelve o'clock noon.
From three O 'clock in the after
noon to six 'clock in the evening.
No package can be delivered,
the total Of which amounts to less
than fifty cents.
This takes effect Monday, Nov.
26, 1917.

pleting a program that will give
each regiment "a machine-guns.
Before infantrymen leap over
the trenches thousands Of cannon
must rain down hundreds Of thou
sands Of shells on every inch Of
the ground to be attacked until
not a single spot has escaped
where machine gun might re-
main hidden.
With the artillery preparation
which the French have perfected
they have demonstrated that it is
mathematically possible to wipe
out every machine-gun before a
single infantryman shows his
head.
With the French method and
with sufficient guns and shells,
American infantry can face the
German new machine-gun con-
centration with practical immun-
ity.
But it means that America
must have thousands of guns and
millions of shells.

SAYS ACID STOMACH
CAUSES INDIGESTION
EXCESS OF HYDRocHLoRIc ACID
SoURs THE FOOD AND
FORMS GASES. AZ

Undigested food delayed in the stom-
gAch decays, or rather, ferments the
same sas 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
hydrothloric acid in the stomach which
prevents complete digestion and starts
food fermentation. Thus everything
eaten ssours In the stomach much like
garbage sours in a can, forming acrid
fluids and gases which initiate the
stomach like toy balloon. Then'we
/ feel a heavy, lumpy misery in the chest,
we beich 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 phar-
macy four ounces Of Jad Salts and take
d tablespoonful in glass of water be-
fore breakfast and drink while it is eff
fervescing and furthermore, to continue
this for IA week. While relief follows
the first dose, it is important to neu-
|tralize the acidity, remove the gas
making mass, start the liver, stimulate
the kidneys and thus promote free
now 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 results.
