 WHAT TO EAT
Avoid Indigestion, Sour Acid Stomach,
 Heartburn, Gas On Stomach, Etc.

Indigestion and practically all forms
 of stomach trouble, say medical au-
 thorities, are due nine times out of ten
 To an excess of hydrochloric acid in the
 stomach. Chronic "acid stomach" is
 exceedingly dangerous and sufferers
 should do either, one of two things.
 Either they can go on a limited and often diSagreeable diet. avoiding foods that disagree with them, that ir1itate
 the stomach and lead to excess acid
 secretion or they can eat as they please
 in reason and make it practice to counteract the effect of the harmful sourneSs or premature fermentation by
 the use of a little Bdsurated Magnesia at their meals
 There is probably no better, safer or more reliable stomach anti-acid than Bisurated Magnesia. and it is widely used for this purpose It has no direct action on the stomach and is not q digeStent. But a teaSpoonful of the powder or q couple of five grain tab. lets taken in little water with the food will neutralize the excess acidit1 which may be present and prevent its further formation. This removes the whole cause of the trouble and the l meal digests naturally and healthfully without need of pepsin pills or arti' l flcial digestents.

THE FARMERS TALK TO FARMERS


(TVr1tten Specially For The Bulletin.)
 Ny old friends of The Rural New Yorker have been hunting down two or three more instances of the undue profit which farmers are gOuging out of unfortunate consumers.
 You know that certain consumers and certain city newspapers which are in sympathy with them are all the time harping about the outrageous prices which farmers are charging for their products; and pointing to the enormous" profits which the said farmers are obtaining
 Hides, for instance Cow hides which used to bring the farmer perhaps 8 Iple of dollars, he is now getting an average of about S7 for. Just think of 1t. ''More'n three times as much!" NO wonder them greedy farmers are get tln' richi"
 Let's look into that a little. Ao- cording to the best authorities whom The Rural could reach a hide makes about seven pairs of shoes. Those seven pairs of shoes sell for an aver age of $35-some a good deal more ana some a little less but about SS5 CT an average.
 That is, the farmer who sells hide for s7, and then has to buy during the year seven pairs of shoes for his fam fly, pays s3S to get that hide back in shoes He gete S7 for the hide; he pays the tanner and the shoemaker and the toIl-takers s28 for their atten- tons to it.
 Ills share is $7: their share is $2S The Rural figures that he, the farmer gets from Y to 19 cents of the dollar the consumer pays.
 To man up tree and well out of reach Of Mrs. Consumers wildly-wav- ing broomstick it would seem as if the farmer was the last man in the hide handling bunch to be charged with ylofiteering or with grinding the faces of the poor It is by no means cer- tain that anybody is deliberately do- ing that last thing. But if anybody really is. doing anything which de- rnands the use Of the averaging broom stick. the farmer certainly is the last one in the line who ought to feel it instead Of the first one.
 But it takes money and skill ana labor to tan hides and make shoes, someone may say. Sartain sure. Car -he Consumer family, big, little, of al coiurs and both sexes ever get il through their heads that it also takes money and skill and labor to raise | COW 10 bearing age2 That j takes just about three times as much now, as 1t used to- Tha; the farmer who gets three times as much for his

Concerning Christmas Cartons.

There has been some misunder-
 standing in regard to the notice in the papers a day or two ago concerning
 application blanks for Christmas car
 tons. These applications are only for
 Americans serving in the armies of our
 allies, British, French, etc., and for
 those in the '. M. c. A., K. of C.,
 Red Cross and other organizations
 working in the war zone to whom la
 bels have not been issued. Their case
 is quite different from that of the men
 in the A. E. F., each of whom has re- ceived from his commanding officer a label which he will send home and which must be presented in order to obtain a carton. Many labels have all ready been received in Norwich and many more are on the way and Will arrive in plenty of time. Should one fail to arrive, there is. nothing that can be done about it. Much as it would like to help in such cases, the Red Cross has no power to do so.
 As it has been found that some per- sons cannot call for cartons at the
 regular hours, 10 to 12 and 2 to 80,
 there will be an opportunity to secure

In regard to the question as to how
to get rid of small ants in a kitchen,
the Indiana state entomoIogist says :
"One of the best remedies is to make
a strip of four ounces Of sugar to one
half pint of water, and after this strip
has boiled add one ounce of sodium
fluoride. Moisten sponge with this
and put it in q can that has some
holes punched in it; then place this
where the ants are most numerous.
The idea is to get the ants feeding on
this and in that way carry some back
to their nest. If they stop feeding,
move the can back a short distance
and they will again start eating. The
can should be kept moist with this
strip and the ants will soon dlsap-
pear"

Importance of a Tan Coat
Depends on How Acquired

Tan is the result of the action of
chemical rays or of the ultraviolet
rays Of the solar light on the pigment
Of the skin. 1t proves nothing, says
an authority, but that the skin has
been exposed to Photographic rays of
one kind or another. The skin is also
tanned by exposure to the rays of q
mercury lamp, but such tan has moth
ing to do with health.
Tan is important and of meaning
according to the circumstances under
which it is acquired. Acquired at sea
or by the sea as result of life and
exercise in the open air, it is sign of
health, because it accompanies general
effects which are lacking in the condi-
lions of electric tan.
Electric tan is accompanied by no
multiplication of red corpuscles in the
blood, such as exercise produces, in
surfing renewal of physical strength.

Hot Weather Hits Us
Hardest in Stomach

Keep a closewatch on yourstom-
ach this summer. We need all our
fighting strength. War work
change of diet-will make us all
easier prey to stomach and bowel
trouble than ever before. tits so
easy to become overheated on a
blazing hot day, especially after
eating a hearty meal. And then
the excessive heat makes us food
our stomachs with all kinds of
cold drinks. That's bad at any
time; much worse-even danger
ous-when there is the slightest
feeling of stomach trouble.
Keep the stomach sweet and
cool and free from too much acid
that's about all that is neces-
sary. It's not SO much the diet
as to keep the poison from start
ing trouble. You can easily do
this if you will just take a tablet or
two Of EAT0NIC after your meals.

EATONIC is the wonderful new
compound that absorbs the HARM
full gases and juices and almost
instantly drives away stomach
misery.
&C Instead of sudden and painful
attacks of Indigestion, after you
begin using EATONIC you'll for
get you have a stomach. And there
will be no more heartburn, food
repeating, sour stomach. gas pains,
or that lumpy, bloated feeling you have
so often experienced after eating. Then
your appetite-you know how hard it
is to satisfy in hot weather-eat one or
two EATONIC Tablets a half hour be-
fore meals-and you will enjoy the re-
suits and feel better in every way.
These are few reasons why you
should start using EATONIC to-day and
fortify your stomach against the chance
trouble this summer. It costs only 500
for a big package. Your druggist whom
you know and can trust, will promptly
refund your money ii you are NOS
more than satisfied.

Persons who have sought to excuse
their violations of rules and regula-
lions of the United States food adj

such cases. According to the law,
persons who willfully hoard any nee
essaries shall, upon conviction, be
fined not exceeding 5000 81 be i'm
prisoned for not more than two years,

what ''hoarding" is and includes, not
only the act of boarding, but the with
holding Of necessaries to gain a high

Underground Railroad and
Useless Caucus Room, Two
ExtravaganceS at Capitol.

One of the curioSities of the capitol
is the miniature railroad that connects
the senate, via underground passage,
with the senate office building, relates
Washington correspondent. The cars
of this railroad operate on a monorail
by electricity.
The road is about $50 yards in length
car is at one end of the track the other
car is at the other end, and vice versa.
The railroad was intended originally to
aid senators in making speed from
their offices to the senate chamber. Roll
calls do not require mucn time in the
senate and there is danger that if a
roll call is asked when senator is in
his office he will miss the roll call I'M.
less he uses the electric car. That
saves him about ten or fifteen seconds
time.
The road is open to the public and
it costs nothing to ride. AS conse-
quence messenger boys, clerks and
| janitors use the railroad freely, while
senators, except on days when the
weather Is inclement, prefer to walk in
the open air between their offices and
the senate chamber.
Besides the initial equipment, the
road entails an expense of about $50
weekly for the employ of two opera
tors and probably half that amount for
electricity. This. would make yearly
expense of $500 as a very conserva-
tive estimate. AS matter of fact the
railroad probably costs more like $6OO8
or $1,000 year.
The senate has another extravaganza
that is almost an eyesore. This is the
palatial caucus room that cost no one
knows how many thousands of dollars
when the senate office building was
constructed. The room is finished
throughout in marble and has immense
crystal chandeliers. 1t has the largest
seating capacity Of any room in the
| capitol except the hall of the house
and the senate chamber.
Yet the acoustic properties of the
room are so bad that it is never used,
and it stands there as an expensive
monument to some ones mistake in
planning the senate Office building. OF
course a person would ordinarily pay
no attention to such thing as bad
acoustic properties, but in this room it
cannot help but be noticed.

POULTRY DON'TS
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

Don't allow your hens to eat de-
cayed flesh of any kind unless you
want them to get down with Timber
neck and have many of them die from
the effect of it.
Don't allow filth and dampness to
abound in and around your poultry
roosting house; it will cause roup and
its various attending ills.
Don't let the mites and lice get the
upper hand about your place and
cause you untold trouble and loss of
both old and young stock.
Don't be afraid to give your fowls
an abundance Of green stuff at all
seasons and all times; it is their sal
walton, whether they are old or young.
Don't be afraid to invest few dol
lars in good stock any more than you
would in improved seeds and grain to
insure success.
Don't keep any males with the fe-
males unless you intend Matching the
eggs. Eggs for market will keep
much longer if they are not fertile.
Don't put all sizes, shapes ana
colors of eggs in one lot for market
learn to grade them so they will look
as much like one hen laid them all as
possible.
Don't allow dirty, stale egg to go
into your market basket, no matter
how high they are or how badly you
need the money.
Don't be afraid to work with your
poultry the year round, as it is the
only road to success, and one must
stick to the right track. Keep up in,
terest in your poultry both winter and
summer. No matter what other duties
you have, they should not be neg
lected.
Don't expect every egg to hatch
when you buy eggs for that purpose
from some good breeder. Your OWL
eggs as a rule will not do that well.
