Says Acid Stomach
Causes lndieesSon
Excess Of hydroohIorIo acid
sours the food and forms
gases.

UndigeSted food delayed in the stom-.
ach decays, or rather, ierments the
same as food left in the open air, says
a noted authority. He also tells us
that indigestion is caused by Hyper
acidity, meaning thcJe is an excess OF
hydro chloric acid in the stomach
which prevents complete digestion and
starts food fermentation. Thus every
thing eaten Sour5 in the stomach much
like garbage sours in a can, forming
acrid fluids and gases which initiate the
stomach like a toy balloon Then VIC
feel heavy, lumpy misery in the chest,
we bclch up gas, We eructate sour food
or have heartburn, ilatulence, water
brash or nausea.
lie tells US to lay aside ali digestive
aids and instead, get from any phar-
macy four ounces OF Jad Salt, and take
a tablespoonful in a glass of water be-
fore breakfast and drink while it is ef-
fervescing, and furthermore, to cot
tinue this for a week. While relief fol-
lows the first dose, It is important to
neutraliEe the acidity remove the gas
making mass, start the liver, stimulate
the kidneys and thus promote a free
flow of pure digestive juices.
lad 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.

News OF the accident ran rapidly

lined with watchers who, linked by a
common bond OF curiosity forgot for
the moment their enmity
Kerdraiec did not lose his head. Al
most the second that he realized the
wind was driving him over the enemy
lines he must have pulled the ripping
cord, for we saw the huge shapcless en-

slowly earthward. AT the same instant

the falling mass and shot downward
A sigh went up from the watching

of his fall.
Now the parachute, like an enormous
umbrella, hung in the air three thou
sand feet above our heads. II seemed
