indigestion, Gas, BIoat,
Heartburn n, Caused
by Acid Stomach

What is the cause of indigestion, dyspepsia
bloat, heartburn, food-repeating helching, gassy,
stomach and all the stomach miseries that
bring much distress? Just this-acid- stomach
superacdity the doctors call it. 1t robs millions
of their full strength, vitality and the power to en-
Joy life-to be real men and women.
Scientists have proved this but you do not need
to take their word; you can prove it in your own
stomach by getting rid of tine acid and find
ing out how much better you will feel. Let your
stomach be the judge 1t will tell you the
truth. Decide then according TO your own feelings,
if acid-stomach is not directly responsible Tor
long train of ailments that in time become so ser-
GUS that they battle the best medical skill.
1t is well known that an acid mouth destroys
the teeth, The acid mouth can be detected only BY
a chemical analysis, and still it is so powerful that
it eats right through the hard enamel aid causes
the teeth to decay This certainly is fair warning
OF what excess acidty will do to the delicate or
ganization of the stomach; as a matter OF fact
excess acdty not only produces at the start great
many painful and disagreeable symptoms that we
generally name stomach troubles " but il is the
creator OF long train OF very serious ailments
Acid stomach interfeles with the digestion and
causes the toOd to Iernent, the stomach gets sour
and creates gas and then this mass of sour fer
mented tood charged with excess acid passes into
the ntestines where 1t becomes the breeding place
Tor all kinds of germs and toxic poisons, which in
tHrn, absorbed into the blood stream and in
this way distributed throughout the entire body.
OF course, these poisons naturally attack the
weakest points and cause the most trouble where
they find the least resistance. The bad effects OF
aeid-stomach do not show up at once, but YOU can
see the beginning wherever YOU go in So many
people who, while not actually down sick are al
ways ailing-have no appetite, food doesn't digest,
beching all the time, continually complaining OF
being weak and tired and worn out. 1t is this acid
poison in the system that takes the Pep and Punch
no vitality to enjoy the real pleasures of lille
The simple thing, the humanity sensible thing
is to strike right at the Of all this trouble
and clean this excess acid out ofthe stomach. This

A Dollar in the Plate
RY RSyEH CAMERON

He must be pretty we'll off. He
puts IA dollar bill in the plate every
Sunday"
So I heard a ncighbor Of mine
speak of a man who has recently
come into our neigh borhood.
I acquiesced without comment a
the time. Afterwards, the huinor of
ii struck me.
He put a. dollar in the plate and
therefore he must be pretty we'll off.
\ Dollar For Cigars is Nothing.
If Il man spends a dollar a week
for cigars or cigarettes, we don't
necessarily think he is pretty well off.
If he goes to the theater every
week, spending two or three dollars
(more likely more) for his seats, VIC
don't think that anything out of the
ordinary.
If business woman spends a dol
lar every week for manicure and
a wave that does not necessarily I'M
ply a large salary.
That Dollar Looks Stupcndous to Us.
But when a man or woman freely
puts Il dollar bill into the collection
plate, straightway that sum looms up
as stupendous.
One Of my earliest childhood mem
cries is of hearing it told of Il young
man who was counting (Alas, I fear
we used the much less poetic express
sion: going with') one Of my
neighbors' grown up daughters, that
he put a dollar in the plate every
time he went to church with her. The
mother was especially proud of this
distinction She said there weren't
many young men like that. AS
look back, I realize that this man
must have been making a salary Of
four or five thousand q year.
