Heartburn.


 l. Heartburn is due to hyperacid- + ity or excess of acid secretion l. in the stomach. This interferes * with digestion by preventing the l. proper digestion of starch, and F in this condition acid foods and ' sugar are especially irritating. E It can be relieved, but not cor l. rected, by the use of alkaline E drugs. Bicarbonate of soda and F similar remedies may be taken ' for temporary relief. Acid foods E should be avoided. Baked pota- E to is alkaline and is usually ac- E ceptable in such cases. The food E should be thoroughly mixed with E saliva and should be confined for E a time to stale bread, potatoes E and a small amount of beans in E some cases. The mental state is frequently an important factor in E the cause and correction of the malady, but lack of proper exer- else is the principal cause. Sys tematic exercise, including walk P ing, should be adopted gradually E and followed regularly. The sim- E pier the diet the better. } # % j. A % # + + l. + + + + + + +

"How much experience have you had behind the counter?" asked an electric shop manager of young man who had just applied for a job as retail clerk.
 "None," admitted the applicant, 'but I've had a heap of experience as GUS tomer."
 The ability to put on the customers glasses and see windows, cases and prices from the buying side of the coun- ter is an asset that cannot be too highly valued. Every electric store salesman is also a buyer. He must purchase clothing, neckties and shoes. The cleo trical man who can remember how oth- CT salesmen and clerks showed him their merchandise in a way that invited his interest and encouraged him to buy and who can apply these methods in his own everyday selling is the man who will contribute to the building of clientele of satisfied patrons for his store.-Electrica Merchandising.
