c. Howard Lloyd, in statement

that he has ever paid commissions TO

TRY THIS TO BANISH
ALL RHEUMATIC PAINS

People who have been tormented
for years-yes, even so crippled that
they were unable to help themselves
have been brought back to robust
health through the mighty power OF
Rheuma.
Rheuma acts with speed; it brings
in a few days the relief you have
prayed for. 1t antagonizes the poisons
that cause agony and pain in the
joints and muscles and quickly the
torturing soreness completely disap-
pears.
It is a harmless remedy, but sure
and certain, because it Is one dis
covery that has forced rheumatism
and sciatica TO yield and disappear.
Try a 50-cent bottle of Rheuma
and IL you do not get the joyful re-
lief you expect. your money will be
returned. II. C. Kennedy always has
supply of Rheuma and guarantees
it to you.

Acid is Cause of Indigestion

well-known authority states that
stomach trouble and indigestion is
nearly always due to acidity-acid

He states that an excess of hydro
chloric acid in the stomach retards
digestion and starts food fermenta-

and gases which Initiate the stomach
like a toy balloon. We then get that
heavy. lumpy feeling in. the chest, we
eructate sour food, belch gas, or
have heartburn, 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 while it is
effervescing, and Furthermore, to
relief follows the first dose. 1t is i'm
portant to neutralize the acidity, re-
move the gas-making mass. start the
liver. stimulate the kidneys and thus
promote a free flow of pure digestive
juices.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and is
made from the acid of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with lithia
and sodium phosphate. This harm

people for stomach trouble with ex-

Hair Often Ruined
By Washing With Soap

Soap should be used very care
fully. if you want to keep your hair
looking its best. Most soaps and pre-
pared shampoos contain too much
alkali. This dries the scalp, makes
the hair brittle and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is
just ordinary mulsified cocoanut oil
(Which is pure and greaseless), and
is better than the most expensive
soap or anything else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will
cleanse the hair and scalp thorough
ly. Simply moisten the hair with
water and rub it in. 1t makes an
abundance OF rich, creamy lather,
which rinses out easily, removing ev-
cry particle of dust, dirt. dandruff
and excessive oil. The hair dries
quickly and evenly, and it leaves the
scalp soft, and the hair fine and
silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy
to manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil
at any pharmacy, it's very cheap,
and a few ounces will supply every
member of the family for months
