Acid Stonachs
Are Dangerous
Tells Common Sense Way To Treat
Indigestion.

Medical authorities claim that nearly nine
tenths of the cases OF stomach trouble. indi-
restIon. sourness. burning. gas, etc. are due
Ia an excess OF hydrochlOric acid in the
stomach.
"AcId' stomachs are dangerous because too
much acid irritates the delicate lining OF the
gtomach often leading to gastritis accom-
panIed by dangerous gastric ulcers.
Ordinary stomach medicines or after din
ner pills" that act only on the stomach walls
or lining or artincally digest and force the
acid food contents from the stomach to the
intestines are Inadequate I'm such cases. for
they leave the source Of the trouble, the ex-
cess acid in the stomach. as dangerous as
ever.
such cases are well treated by the use Of
sinple Rntacid and astrtngent which will act
upon the stomach contents, neutrslize the
acidity of the food and tend to prevent the
further excessive formation or acid.
There is an excellent treatment for this
purpose namely a teaspoonful OF ordinary
bisurated nagnesia taken In little hot water
after eating.
sufferers from acH indigestion, sour stoms
ach and heartburn should get a small bottl-
OF Bisurated Magnesia teither powder or tab
lets-neYer liquid from any good druggist
and they may expect that the distress or
dinarily caused by their food will be avoided

TOWNER PLANS FOR HOUSE
Iowa Congressman Would Have
Party Politics Set Aside.

Expressing the view that no party
contest should be allowed in this
time of international crisis to delay
emergency legislation, Congressman
Towner Of Iowa today gave details
of his plan for a provisional organi-
zation OF the House to bridge over
the emergency. He would have the
Speaker and the old officers and GER
tain committees of the old House con-
tinued for an agreed length of time.
In the meantime, national defense
measures could be passed and then
the organization could be effected.
Judge Towner explained his plan
as follows:
AT the commencement of the forth
coming special session Of Congress,
called for April ., a provisional or
ganization of the House should be
effected. This could be done. by a
House resolution. and the terms of
the provisional Organization could be
arranged by the leaders on both sides.
The Republicans already have a COM
mittee appointed who could take up
the matter at once, and the Democrats
could easily arrange for a committee
to represent them. The terms of the
provisional arrangement as thus
agreed upon could be submitted to
both caucuses and their approval Sc
cured, so that no time need be lost
when the House meets.
"a provisional arrangement could
be made by which the organization OF
the Sixty-fourth Congress, including
the Speaker and other officers Of the
House, should continue for a certain
agreed time, so that the necessary
appropriation and national defense
legislation could be considered and
passed without delay.
