TELLS DYSPEPT|cS
 WHAT 10 EAT
Avoid Indigestion, Sour Acid Stomach,
 Heartburn, Gas On Stomach, Etc.

Indigestion and practically all forms of stomach troubse, say medical au- thorities are due nine times out of ten to an excess of hydrochloric acid Tn the stomach. Chronic acid stomach IS exceedingly dangerous and sufferers should do either one of two things. Either they can go a limited and often dfsagreeab1e diet. avoiding foods that disagree with them. that irritate the stomach and lead to excess acid secretion or they can eat as they please in reason and make 1t a practice to counteract the effect of the harmful sourness or premature fermentation by the use of 8 little Bisurated Magnesia at their meals.
 There Is probably no better. safer or
 more reliable stomach antacid than B1s1yrated Magnesia and it is widely
 used for this purpose. It has no direct action on the stomach and is not a d1gestent. But a teaspoonful of the powder or couple of five grain tablets
 taken in a little water with the food
 will neutralize the excess acid1ty which
 may be present and prevent It's further
 formationa This rem owes the whole
 gests naturally and healtflfuIly without
 neeA of pepsin pills or artificial diges-
 tents.
 Get g few ounces of Bisurated Mag nes1a from any reliable druggist ASK for either powder or tablets. It never
 comes -as 8 liquid. milk or citrate and nsthe bis surated form is not a laxative
 Try this plan and eat what you want at your next meal and see if this isn't
 the best advice you ever had on what

RHEMATISM
Physician Believes Genuine Remedy for the Disease Has
 Been Found.

Rheuma, the wonderful rheumatism remedy sold by Lee & Osgood Co. and all good druggists, gives quicker and more lasting relief than other rmedies costing many times much.
 RheuIna passes the deadly poisonous secretions into the bowels and kidneys from which they are quickly thrown off in a natural, healthy way.
 Read what a reputable physician says about Rheuma: T have made a most careful investigation of the for mula employed in the manufacture of Rheuma, and I heartily recommend it as a remedy for all forms of rheuma- tism. I find Rheuma far in advance the treatment of rheumatism, and all together different in composition from the remedies usually prescribed."-Dr. Lyons
 This should give any sufferer from confidence to try Rheuma.

on their shields as we our flag. The
first flag used by the Greeks was dec
grated with a Two headed eagle and
was Used in the revolt against the
Turks in 1854. In the revolution Of
1859 a white fac with a blue cross was
raised. In 1903. when Ali Pasha was
ravaging Thessaly. John Stathans led
a f1otilla into Skiathoe under a flag
which was the same as that in use at
the present day-btue with a white
cross. The first flag Of the great revo-
luton was raised by Marco Botzaris.
on october 25, 1920. 1t was white with
an icon of St. George. On January L.
1922. the national assembly in Epi-
daurus, at the foundation of the indie
pendence of Greece. defined the Greek
flag as follows: On the land, nine hori-
zontal stripes. a plain blue flag in four
quarters. with Il white cross in the
middle. to he called the LAND flag" On
the set. nine horizontal stripes, five
blue and our white. with a blue square
in the corner in four quarters. on
which is a white cross. This is the
flag known AS the Greek flag today.
The blue ground is very dark.
