Hot Weather Poisons
Hit The Stomach First
How to Keep Your Stomach
Strong, Cool and Sweet

Hot weather always starts those

Such summer poisons in foods not
only make well stomachs sick but de-

sensitive, sick or ailing stomachs and
bowels.
These poisons not only generate
gases and fluids which cause that
bloated, lumpy feeling, heartburn, sour
stomach, belching, acidity, but endless
other stomach and bowel miseries.

been found which absorbs and neu-

League that to him. with three 9TH

Doctor Smith conceived the idea OF
releasing thousands OF small balloons
with propaganda attached by six foot
threads, TO be carried by the winds
and so timed that they would land in
the interior of Germany and Austria
wherever desired and thus defeat the
irOnclad censorship.
This plan, with more than 1000
others. was submitted TO the commit
tee designated by the National Sc
curity League, of which ex-Ambas-
sador Gerard was chairman. The
committee examined all the plans,
and 1t was found that four stood out
pre-eminently practical OF these
the idea conceived by DR.. Smith was
one. The committee recommended
that all four OF these plans be adopt
ed and the prize divided. and this
was done.
1t is of interest to note also that
when DR.. Smith was in Washington
in February he was informed by the
committee on information that they
thought so highly OF this plan that
they had alrady forwardd il to the
War College, where il is now doubt
less being employed.
