Says Acid Stomach
Causes Indigestion
EXCESS OF HYDRAULIC ACID
SoURS THE FOOD AND
FORMS Classes

Undgested food delayed in the
stomach decays, or rather. ferments 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, there is an excess Of hydro
chloric acid in the stomach which pre-
vents complete digestion and starts
food fermentation. Thus everythin
eaten sours iIr the stomach much like
garbage sours in can, forming acrid
fluids and gases which initiate the
stomach like a toy balloon. Then we
feel a heavy, lumpy misery IN the
chest, We belch up gas, We eructate
sour food or have heartburn, fatulence,
waterbrash or nausea.
He tells Us to lay aside all digestive
aids and instead. get from any phar-
macy four ounces OF lad Salts and
take tablespoonful in a glass Of water
before breakfast and drink while it is
effervescing, and furthermore to con-
tinue this for week. While relief
follows the first dose, it is important
to neutraiize the acidity, remove thu
gas making mass, start the liver, slim
ulate the kidneys and thus promote a
free flow Of pure digestive juices.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon
juice, combined with lithia and sodium
phosphate. This harmless salt is used
by thousands Of people for stomach
trouble with excellent results.

IOWA IN SPANISH WAR.
Iowa Was Ready Before the Call
Came.

Enthusiasm for national service ran
high in Iowa at the outbreak OF the
Spanish American war twenty years
ago, says a writer in a recent publica-
ton Of the state historical society OF
Iowa The national guard officers of
this state anticipated the call to arms
and were in readiness. The four regi-
ments were opened for enlistments, and
assembled in their armories ready to
move before the call came. In addition
to these four regiments owa furnished
two batteries of light artillery, signal
corps, and a company Of colored i'm
munes. Only two of the infantry re-
giments saw service outside the coun-
try. The Forty ninth regiment went to
Cuba and, on Jan. l, 1899, participated
IN the ceremonies attendant upon the
evacuation of Havana by the Span
iards. The Fifty-first regiment took
part in a number OF the engagements
Of the Philippine expedition. Only one
man OF the entire four regiments was
killed IN battle: 1875 died Of typhoid
fever

States-Mennonites Must Serve.

| Washington, March while
| large number Of men will be called
out during the present year to fill up
| the army and complete its organiza-
| ton, it was learned tonight that the
war department plans do not call for
the creation of any additional divisions
in 1918. The announcement concern
ing the second draft, expected soon
from Provost Marshal General Crow
der, may outline the manner in which
less than 100000 men. probably not
much in excess of 100000 are to DE
summoned gradually during the year
to complete the existing organizations.
Delay in the announcement as TO
the next draft is understood to be due
to uncertainty as to which method of
alloting quotas to the states is to be
followed. The senate already has
passed, and the house military COM
mittee has favorably reported, an
amendment to the law to base the
quota on the number Of men in Class
II instead Of upon the total registra-
ton of a state. This change is re-
garded as certain to be made but to
avoid further delay schedules OF allot-
ments under both systems have been
prepared at the provost marshal gen.
erals office. ready to go out as soon as
final action is taken.
Not to Hurt Farming.
AS to the date of the second draft,
mem ers OF congress from agrcul-
tural sections have been practically
assured that no withdrawal of men
from civil life was contemplated which
would embarras harvesting. II has
been indicated however, that rela-
lively small number Of men must be
called to the colors prior to June and
that process may start in April, when
equipment. clothing and quarters will
be availa BILE.
The men are needed to fill with full
strength the divisions slated for early
departure to Europe. and also for field
army and corps troops not attached TO
divisions. The replacement detach-
ments also must go forward at an ac-
celebrating rate, since American troops

Dandruf Surely
Destroys The Hair

Girls. if you want plenty OF rnck,
beautiful, glossy. silky hair, do by all
means get rid of dandrufr, for it will
starve your hair and ruin it if you
don't.
It doesn't do much good to try to
brush or wash it out The only sure
way to get rid Of dandruff is to dissolve
It, then you destroy it entirely. To do
this. get about four ounces of ordinary
liquid arvon; apply it at night when re-
firing; use enough to moisten the scalp
and rub It in gently with the finger
tips.
BY morning, st if not all, of your
dandrun will be gone. and three or four
more applications will completely dis
solve and entirely destroy every single
sign and trace OF it.
You will find, too, that all itching and
digging of the scal1 will stop, and your
hair will look and feel a hundred times
Detter. Yea can get liquid arvon at
any drug store. 1t is inexpensive ana
four ounces is all you will need. no mat
ter how much dandruff you have This

pletely. In many localities there is
great excitement over it.
Crowder rules they are exempt for
combat service, but liable for non
combatant service, that is, army serV-
ice other than fighting.
Much the same question is up in
South Dakota and the leaders of the
lutheran Brothers from the Jim river
region have come here to confer with
officials about migrating to Canada
with their people.
Senator Sterling presented them to
the war department. The department
s willing to let them go with the
reservation that their men OF draft age
must do noncombatant service.

made soon to the effect they are liable
for noncombatant service. Senator

The navy department is working
upon several devices which are en-
pected eventually to put an end to the
submarine peril. according TO informa-
ton given by responsible source. Since
the beginning of the war Secretary
Daniels has received thousands OF sug-
gestions for construction OF such de-
vices. and anything practical in the
ideas has beer thoroughly investigated
by the navy experts and its value
determined.
There is one device which is oe-
| lieyed by scientists as well as naval
EXPERTS to be the best solution OF the
problem. This invention has passed
beJond the blueprint stage and has
been given some practical tests, but IL
has not yet been tried in the war zone
according to information here.
Bv means of this device, which can
be operated from almost any ship, the
! location OF d submarine can De deter
mined to within few hundred 1eet
from a ship several miles distant from
the U-boat. Experts stated that the
device is perfect theoretically, and
Heading electrical authorities or the
country have been devoting weeks 10
rendering it practical as we'll as ae-
curate.
! AS the toll Of the submarines mas
mounted up the energies of these ex-
| merits have been more completely con-
centrated upon this one invention. II
| is not expected the practical apphca-
ton can be made for several weeks
vet. The device is most intricate Dit
of mechanism, affected by a great
many surrounding conditions. and ef-
forts are now being directed toward
providing safeguards against interior
enceS.
This one invention appears at the
present moment to be the principal
hope for the elimination OF the sub
marine danger The American navy
is not alone in the study and devel-
opment Of the device. but experts OF
France and England also are working
along similar lines and are in constant
consultation with the American SCI
entists.
| The efficacy OF the depth charge
against the submarine has been proved,
and several U-boats have been de-
stroyed by them but the objection to
the depth charge is that the destroyecs
must first find the submarine. The
combination of the new device and the
depth charge. it is believed, will mate
rally reduce the number OF GermanEs
subn1a rines and in the end route them
! from the seas.
