BRITISH WAR LOAN 0F BILLION POUNDS
 IS FLOATED EASILY
(By Review Leased WireD

LONDON. Feb. 26.-There was a scene of great enthusiasm in the house of commons today when An drew Bonar Law. chancellor of the ex- chequer. announced the result of Great Britain's third war loan, which is by far the greatest voluntary con- tribution by the people of any bellig- erent nation. More than G1.000,000,- GOO of new money, with more than five million subscribers. are the stupend- Ous figures which the chancellor of the excheduer confessed he would have thought il impossible to raise only a few days ago.
 The loan has resulted in striking victory for the government over the professional financiers, since bankers had advised the treasury department that it could not be Hated at less than six per cent. MT Law at the time de- clared that he preferred to risk fail- ure in an attempt at a flee per cent loan rather than to place six per cent as the standard of the nations credit. The chancellOr's highest expectations had been for e600,000.000 of new money.

PUT STOMACH IN
 FINE CONDITION
Says Indigestion Results from an Excess of Hydrochloride
 Acid.

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 Fly per-acidity, meaning, there is an eX- cess of hydrochlOric acid in the stom- ach which prevents complete diges- ton and starts food fermentation. Thus everything eaten sours in the stomach much like garbage sOurs in a can, forming acrid fluids and gases which infiate the stomach like a toy balloon. Then we feel a heavy. lumpy misery in the chest, we belch up gas. we erucate sour food or have heart burn, fiatulence. water-brash or nau- sea.
 He tells Us to lay aside all digestive macy four ounces of lad salts and take a tablespoonful Tn a glass of water before breakfast and drink while it is effervescing and further more, 10 continue this for a week. While relief follows the first dose, it is important to neutraliZe the acidity. remove the gas-making mass, start the liver. stimulate the kidneys and thus promote a free flow of pure diges- tive juices.
 lads 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. Adv.

"It Pays to Advertise" Cohan

 Local Theatre Thursday
 Evening, March 1.

One of the best plays produced in recent seasons bears the title Tt Pays to Advertise" and Conan and Harris count it as one of their successes. The play proves its title. and every rusty old business house in the country that has something the matter with it" should send its representatives 10 see this play and find out the reason. for there are thousands of rich old con- scrvatives like Cyrus Martin. the head of the Soap Trust in the play, who need q few practical illustrations or the fact that Tt Pays to Advertise" The play is the funniest combination of circumstances ever staged, but as a practical lesson to those who do not believe il teaches a great truth. Cyrus Martin quarrels with his son. and the latter goes into business in the new way. determined to succeed through advertising. He scores a big success. as any energetic young man is bound to do if he advertises judiciously. and his skeptical father is. in the end. glad to buy into the new firm. Every news paper publisher. and every town knows the man who does not believe in a6- vertising, and when the players glibl, tell of the success Of O'Sullivan Rub Der heels. Ivory Soap, Kellog's Corn Flakes and other immense concerns created through advertising. then there hardly need be anything local in the estimate placed upon the work of the play producers who entertain while proving that every line of bust ness is sue to become stagnant unless it is advertised.
