that excessive secretion of acid is taking
place In the stomach causing the forma-
ton of gas and acids
Gas distends the stomach and causes
that full oppressive burning feeling some
times known as heartburn, while the acid
irritates and lnfames the delicate lining
of the stomach. The trouble lies entirely
in the excessive development or secretion
of acid.

Death would occur if the kidneys did

The danger signals are bsclsche,

All people in America, and espe-

are prone to eat too much meat and
in consequence deposit uric acid

sometimes from gout, swollen hands
or feet. Such people are not always
able to exercise sufficiently in tho

Coming Theater Attractions
NationaI-aIntoIerance


Did you ever think you would live
to see spectacle in a theater IN
which 125,ooO people took part along
with 1900 -horses and 1,50o chariots.
Well, this is what is revealed in u.
w, Grinith's colossal work 'lntoler-
ance, which comes to the New Ma

This mighty work is not only big IN
numbers and scenes. but it is big IN
theme 1t portrays the hopes ana
struggles of love through all ages and
how the human aspiration has always
been hampered by the intolerance OF
those who put themselves in hign
places.
In Grlffith's great epic you find the
whip OF Intolerance cracking over the
heads of the ancient Babylonians
nearly 5000 years ago and you follow
1t down through Palestine when the
Man of Men came with his great toll
erance and message of hope.
Again you see 1t in religious war
fare as II was carried on in medievai
France, and again you see 1T in fac
tory and home and the streets OF TINS
country. And though the scenes
change and the magnitude OF the
shifting views appal you there Is ever
that great note of human appeal calling
to you from across the ages.
Viewing Intolerance" is like taking
3,000-year trip around the world.
Babylon of Belshazzar's day; Paris of
the sixteenth century, Judea OF the
Nazarene are made to live again.
Famous personages come and go,
great historical events again take
place.
This morning the seats for the en-
tire two weeks will go on sale.

than two years elapsed from the time the

GARDEN WORKING NOTES
BY e. VAN BENTHUYsEN.

Propagate rubber plants this month.
Pack handful or two OF moss around
the stem and keep IL well soaked. In
short time roots win appear. Saw
flower pot in half and bind the
plants or roofing portion of the stem.
Fill with very light soil with plenty
Of sand and keep thoroughly watered.
During the winter the roots will take
good hold and in the spring the stem
may be cut off level with the bottom
of the pot.
The outdoor carnations may he
potted up this month.
Cuttings from geraniums may be
made early in September In most eli
mates.
Watch the tender greenhouse plants
that are in the open and take them up
before the last days of summer are
passed.
Have the pots ready for the bulbs
which must be taken up soon.
Sow mignonettes seeds In pots or
boxes for the window garden. Water
frequently but not too much.
The dahlias, gladioli and other rank
I growing plants are apt to be blown
down by the strong winds of fall.
Stake them up.
Unless the chrysanthemum have
been shaded during the hot months
they will not come up to expectations
this fall.
Drench the ground around the tea
roses but do not spray the bush.
Roses of all kinds should be thor
oughly MANFRED with well rotted COW
manure and mulched with lawn cut
tings and leaves.
Liquid manure should be applied on
ly when the ground is moist enough
TO absorb it.
1t Is fatal TO some plants to fer
tilize them with rich manures when
the ground is dry.
Never allow roses to remain on the
bush until the petals begin to fall.
All plants that are intended for Win
ter boomers should have the buds
pinched Off now.
Pick the pansies and nasturtiums
every day II you want to have plenty
of bloom.
The best way TO kill weeds now is
to pull them up by hand.
The red bug and other enemies of
the rose If not killed off last month
should be effectually removed now.
An excellent spray for the rose
bushes is made of one-half pound Of
laundry soap melted in hot water TO
which is added one eupful of kerosene.
When this comes to boil, use about
one part to fifteen parts of water,
