SAYS ACID STOMACH
CAUSES INDIGESTION
Excess of hydrochloric acid
SourS the food and forms
gases.

Undigested. food delayed in the
stomach decays, or rather, ferments
the same as 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 hydrochloric acid in the
stomach which prevents complete di-
gestion and starts food fermentation.
Thus everything eaten sours in the
stomach much like garbage sours in
a can, forming acrid fluids and gases
which initiate the stomach like a toy
ballon. Then we feel a heavy, lumpy
misery in the chest we belch up gas,
we eructate sour food or have neart-
burn. flatulence, water-brash or
nausea.
He tells us to lay aside all diges-
tive aids and instead, get from any
pharmacy four ounces of Jad Salts
and take a tablespoonful In a glass
OF water before breakfast and drink
while il Is effervescing and further
more, TO continue this for a week.
While relief follows the first dose, II
is important to neutraliZe the acidity,
remove the gas-uaking mass, start
the liver, stimulate the kidneys and
thus promote a free flow Of pure d.
gestive Juices.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and is
made from the acid of grapes and
lemon Juice, combined with lithia
and sodium phosphate. This harm
less salts Ia used by thousands of
people for stomach trouble with eX-
cellent results.-Advt.

PETRoGRAD, March 24.-''Today
Russia is no longer a dead weight
on the allies" declared Foreign Min.

press today.
"The allies" he said, "camk into
touch with the new regime without
delay, appreciating that the old re-
gime constituted a serious hindrance
Organization of the Russian peo-
pie was necessary to a final triumph
Today Russia, is a productive force
Hence, rumors OF a separate peace
with reactionary Germany vanish
completely.
New Russia is likely to bear the
name, THE United States Of Russia"
IL the temper OF the people in Petro-
grad Is an index. At least the form
of government will be republican.
The Russian peasants mind is prin-
cipally fixed on the land question
the breaking up Of great estates, and
equal rights to all.
Today the Duma members were
scattering to all quarters of the en-
pire to explain to the people exact
ly what has happened.
In the meantime. the, council OF
workmen. soldiers, and deputies,
numbering 1000. continues its admin
istration as II was organized on the
first day Of the revolution. Organi-
nation OF q social democratic party

LONDON, March 24-Having them

striving by every art of warfare to

British approached the "Hindenburg

Northeast of Tergnier, where Cen
eral Nivelle's French troops are near
est the "Hindenburg line" the enemy
inundated the ground by opening
canal sluices. La Fere was flooded.
On the longer British front, Field
Marshal Haig's men still pressed for
ward today, rebuilding the country
as they progressed. German counter
attacks developed in force at half a
dozen points along this line, but all
were beaten back.
The weather was described as win

"If the measure is absolutely neces-

be stated that for many the limits OF

The grounds advanced for the meas
