RETIRING HUNS RIOT:
WAVING RED FLAGS

American Army Of Occupation, Nov.
25.-The German frcntier was crossed
at several places yesterday by American
Signal Corps units and ambulance worker.
Short trips were made into Rhenish
Prussia, where the inhabitants are re-
ported to have shown the Americans
every consideration.
The American forces, resting Sunday
along the German frontier, spent their
spare time at various points watching
the Germans opposite them. In numerous
instances the Germans waved farewell
when their detachments started on their
homcward march
Reports of rloting continue tn reach
American headquarters from various
sources. One report was that n German
Colonel had been dragged from his horse
by soldiers and beaten severely. Before
crossing from Itixemburg many of the
privates said that when they reached
Germany they would decline to obey
their officers, do rs they. please, and If
taken to {; s'l ny their officers trouble
would result.
The Americans yesterday observed
individual German soldiers carrying rcd
flags. but these men did not attempt to
cross to the American side, nor were
they apparently in any hurry to with
draw from the frontier

Dentists tell US that acid mouth causes
the eating away of enamel on the teeth, a
substance much harder than bone. Keep
the mouth free from acid, they say. and
there will be little or no danger of decayed
teeth
Think Of thiS-you can at once see what
an excess amount of acid in the stomach
acid stomach means in the way Of under
mining ones health and strength
Many people make the awful mistake Of
thinking that acid stomach super acldltN
as the doctors call it merely causes an Oc-
caSional attack Of Indigestion, bloat, heart
burn. belChlng, sour. gaSSy stomach and
similar troubles that can quickly be rernedled
and leave no serious after effects. As
matter Of fact super-acidity is responsible for
a long train Of serious ailments. 1t some
times creates conditions which battle the best
medical skill. 1t is a we'll established fact
that most cases Of chronic stomach trouble,
anemla. stomatltis, gastrltls, rheumatism,
gout, lumbago intestinal ulcer many cases
Of cancer of the stomach, ValVular heart
trouble and heart failure find their start in
acid stomach.
The excess acid must be removed The stomach
must be kept pure sweet and strong, free to digest
food properly. That is the only way to avoid
the evil consequence of acid stomach and TO enjoy
vigorous, robust health
4 wonderful preparation now makes it possible
to quickly acld-stomach Ii is called EA-
TONIC pleasant tasting compound that YOU eat

cess acid and drives the bloat of the body You
