"EAToNIC neutralizes the acids.

juice chance to do Its work as it
should.
ITO promote appetite and aid diges-

"For distress after eating; sour.

What miserable feelings are caused
by an upset stomach! That dull.

Yes; H. L. Kramer, the man who
originated Cascarets, has found sure,
quick, relief for indigestion, dyspepsia,
"sour stomach" heartburn. formation
of painful gases, "bloating," ETC., etc.

PRESIDENT ASKS
PEOPLE TO Save
Requested to Buy Only Things
Necessary to Health
and Efficiency.
THRIFT PLEDGE ALSO ASKED
All Citizens Must Be Economically
Adjusted to War Conditions II
Nation 10 to Play Its
Part in Conflict.

Washington, ID. C.-TO save mate
poses. President Wilson appealed to
Americans "to buy only those things
which are essential to the Individual
health and efficiency" and to volun-
teer on or before June %. National
Thrift day. to invest Systematically in
War Savings and Thrift Stamps, or
other government securities.
"This war is one Of nations-not of
armies" said the president. "and all
of our 1O0,OO0,0O0 people must be
economically and industrially adjusted
to war conditions II this nation is to
play its full part In the conflict.
Pledge 10 Sought.
1.-THE problem before us Is not pri-
marily n financial problem, but rather
a problem of increased production OF
war essentials and the saving of the
materials and the labor necessary for
the support and equipment of our
army and navy. Thoughtless expendl-
ture of money for nonessentlals uses
up the labor OF men, the products of
the farm, mines, and factories, and
overburdens transportation. all OF
which must he used to the utmost and
at their best for war purposes.
"The great results which we seek
can be obtained only by the participa-
tlon of young and old in national
thrift movement. l therefore urge
that our people everywhere pledge
themselves as suggested by the secre-
f..f fI.a Rtff al
thrift; to serve the government to
their utmost In increasing production
in all fields necessary 10 the winning
of the war; to conserve food and fuel
and useful materials of every kind to
devote their labor only to the most
necessary tasks, and TO buy only those
| things which are essential to individ-
! ual health and efficiency.
BUY More U. S. Securities"
"The securities issued by the treas
ury department are. so many of them.
within the reach of every one that the
door OF opportunity In this matter is
wide open to all of us.
81 appeal to all who now own either
Liberty bonds or War Savings stamps
to continue to practice economy and
thrift and to appeal to all who do not
own government securities to do like
wise and purchase them to the extent
of their means. The man who buys
government securities transfers the
purchasing power of his money to the
United States government until after
this war, and to that same degree does
not buy in competition with the gov
ernment.
81 earnestly appeal to every man,
woman and child to pledge themselves
on or before June 2S to save constant
/ Iy and to buy us regularly as possible
the securities of the government.

stoker,s Act of bravery.

In these days of undersea warfare,
when the blow is often struck without
warming, new danger is added to the
already hazardous tasks of the ships
fremen. Speed is an essential In
beating the U-boat. and this requires
constant work. Recently the bottom
blow valve of n boiler was carried away
on n vessel of the United States navy.
One of the crew was Aloysius Fawcett,
II fierman, first class. With two others
he made his way through II steam-filled
fireroom and fought passage through
hot cloud in the engine room. Here
he helped haul the fires at II critical
moment. The nerve and quickness of
the act snved the boiler and the YES
sci from serious accident Fawcett en-
listed in the navy In 1911 at Clncin-
natl.
