It's Acid Stomach
That Makes Millions
Sick and Suffer

Life Is dark-not worth much to the
man or woman with an acld.stomach.
Acid-stomach kills Hope, Ambition.
Energy, Courage. 1t saps the strength of
the strongest body-fmpov erishes the
blood-causes untold suffe ering-makes
millions weak, unit and brings on pre-
mature old age.
You know what acid.mouth does to
teeth and gums-how the acid literally
eats through the hard enamel, causing
the teeth to decay. Just imagine, then,
what havoc an acid stomach must do to
the delicate organization Of the stomach.
Millions Of people are weak and unfit,
suffering all the time, in one way or an
other. from superscidity or acid.stonach.
They don't seem dangerously sick.
Just ailing. Going through life weak,
listless, dragging one foot after another.
They're nervous and irritable; lack power
and punch. frequently have severe at
tacks Of binding, splitting headaches;
% subject to fits of melancholia and mental
depression. And nearly always their
stomachs are out of order, even though
many experience no actual stomach pains
digestion poor-Rever getting anywhere
near the full strength from their food.
So, you see. it's just this-acid-stom
ach-that Is holding so many people back
--sapping up the strength they should
get from their food-taking away their
yigor and vitality-leaving them weak
and Inefficient.

SUNDAY BAN ON GASOLINE
CARS SCARCE IN SMYRNA
FINE DISPOSITION IN SMYRNA
TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUEST
Local Garages Did Not Sell Gasoline
All Day and Some of them Were
Closed to Business Entirely.

Smyrna had a comparatively quiet
Sunday so far as automobile traffic
was concerned, the suggestion of the
government regarding Sunday con-
servatiOn of motor cars and hence of
gasoline, being generally needed. On
the State Road less Delaware licenses
than those of any other state were
noticed, there being many from New
York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, and
New Jersey. To the credit of the To-
cal autOmObilists, it must be said that
there was more general observance
OF the request, than was expected, and
in some of the church yards there
were teams, which had been driven bv
people who are accustomed to attend
church in automobiles. Some of the
local citizens, however, were to be seen
riding about as usual, and they either
did not know of the Sunday ban on
gasoline or found it necessary to be
out. The local garages and dispensers
OI gaSOllne showed fine spirit of
patriotism by not selling gasoline all
day Sunday and most of them closed
their garages, the first Sunday that
some of them have enjoyed off in
many a day. In Wilmington and
other cities there appeared everywhere
a disposition to fall in with the gov
eminent request. There was a not
able exodus Of machines out of cities
on Saturday, many to get out of town
to the summer resorts before the ban
on Sunday motoring went into effect.
That IS people who wished to spend
Sunday out of the city went out on
Saturday instead of waiting until
Sunday morning. In Smyrna few
cars were seen, although quite a num-
Der after all went thru town Main
street, during the day.

AUTO THEFT AT MIDDLETOWN
Stranger Made Way with a Machine
OF Jitneyman He Had Called at
Night-WOrks a Slick Trick.

One of the boldest automobile thefts
ever noted in this part of the country
took place at Middletown Monday
evening, and V. NJ. Barnett, a resident
OF Chestertown, Md, who operates a
Jltney line between that place and
colchester Beach, is out one 1917 car
by the operation. Barnett had fin
ished his days work and was about
TO retire when he had an urgent call
from WortOn, Md, the person calling
saying he had broken his machine.and
was forcd to go to Middletown for
repairs. Barnett named his terms
and started for his passenger. When
leaving Worton, the. passenger had
Barnett stop near tree by the road
side, saying that he had left a pack
age, which he threw into the rear of
the car. The trip to Middletown was
made without incident and when
they arrived in the town, the driver
was directed to halt his car on the
north side of the town, while the SUD-
posed repairs were found. The
stranger returned to the car in a few
minutes, and asked Barnett to walk
around the corner with him to get
them. Barnett was walked in a
roundabout way to one of the back
streets, where he was told to await
the return of the stranger. The
stranger then cut through the lot of
j. F. McWhOrter and Son, returned
to the car, and made his escape. A
car was noticed a few minutes after
wards at the canal bridge, the driver
OF which was apparently changing
his tags, which was supposed to have
been in the package taken from under
the tree near Worton. Barnett tele-
phoned to all the neighoring towns.
but could only describe the car. as in
all probability the license tags had
been changed, and there was no wav
to identify it by them. 1t is thought
that the car was stolen by a member
OF one of the Philadelphia gangs OF
thieves.
