What miserable feelings are caused
by an upset stomachl That dull,
heavy. "bloated" sensation that follows
a full meal, robs good living Of half
Its pleasures. Is there any way out
for you sufferers with stomach weak
ness?
Yes; H. L. Kramer, the man who
originated Cascarets, has found a sure.
quick, relief for indigestion, dyspepsia,
"sour stomach" heartburn, formation
Of painful gases, "bloating," etc., etc.
He calls his stomach relief EA-
TONIC. and 1t certainly is making a
wonderful record. Countless thous-
ands of people who formerly ap-
preached their meals with dread, now
eat their fill of their favorite foods
without fear of the after-effects.
Mr.. Kramer says: my EAT0NIC
tablets are the solution Of the age-old
problem Of indigestion and all formS
Of stomach misery. :

olIded Chicken Feet.

1t may be because of war economies
and 1t may be something else again"
as Abe said to Mawrus, but 1t is fact
nevertheless that new and unusual
fields are being invaded to fur
nish milady's headgear. At the same
time splendid opportunities are offered
to earnest nature students. One of
the most novel skypiece ornaments
seen here is gilded chicken feet. One
woman appeared on Broadway the
other day In a bonnet trimmed with
English walnuts cracked open to show
the kernels, while another woman
wore a merry widow Of single alligator
skin garnished with single gray
squirrel. New York women seem to
have lots of new millinery thoughts
these days.

You Can Now
Your Favorite Food
Without Any ear
Kramer Says: 'Eatonic'' Rids Weak Stomachs Of
Acids Cas- Heartburn, Food Repeating
and Stomach MiScrics

"EAToNIC neutralizes the acidA
that form the painful gases, Sweet
ems" the stomach, and gives the gastric
juice a chance to do its work as It
should.
"To promote appetite and aid dlges-
ton, take EATONIC tablets-one or
two after each meal. They are per-
fectly harmless. Eat them just like
candy.
"For distress after eating; sour.
"gassy," acid stomach, vertigo, nausea
and belching, and that wretched,
puffed-up, '1umpy" feeling, after over
eating; there is nothing to compare
with EATONIC Tablets"
All druggists sell EATONIC = SOC
for large box. Watch out for inita-
tions. The genuine bears the name
EATONIC on each tablet-guaranteed
to do all that is claimed; or If your
druggists don't carry EATONIC-send
to Eatonic Remedy Co., Chicago, III.

Raid a ForIorn Hope.

Washington. at last has
brought her submarine warfare to
the shores of the United States, ap-
parently in forlorn hope Of striking
telling blows on this side Of the At
lantic, and of drawing home some Of
the American naval forces from the
war zones, where the U-boat menace
is being slowly but surely strangled
to death.
In the attacks upon coasting YES
sells almost in sight of the New Jersey
shore, navy officials see frantic ad-
mission from Berlin that the subma-
rine has failed. American armed
power is rolling overseas In ever-in-
creasing force, despite the utmost ex-
ertions of the undersea pirates off the
coasts of Europe.
Now the raiders have crossed tie
seas and lurked for days near Ameri-
cas- greatest ports. They no doubt
were sent to sink transports, but here
again they have failed. Blocked off
the troop ships by convoy craft, they
have turned in fury against defense
less coasters.
In all the record of destruction they
have written, the raiding party has
struck at no vessels bound overseas
and therefore armed for fight. Only
ships that could not hit back have
been attacked. The only one Of half
score of vessels probably sent to
the bottom that had any real military
value in ship or cargo was an oil
tanker.

MAYOR TAKES SCOUT OATH.

An event Of unique interest was the
taking of the oath Of the Boy Scouts Of
America by Mayor Hunter. of Terre
Haute. Ind, as part Of his Inaugural
ton ceremony. II is undoubtedly the
first time this has been done In the
history of scouting In the United
States.
This will mean more than n mere
curious distinction for Terre Haute.
1t is II par. of the heralding to the
whole land that Terre Haute has shak-
en- off its old mantle. The principles
Of the scouts are universally recog-
nlzed, and the fact that the incoming
mayor of Terre Haute has pledged
himself officially to these principles
speaks significantly to the world Of
what is to be expected of Terre Haute
from now on.
As soon as the applause subsidized, n
scout stepped forward and presented
Mayor Hunter with reproduction Of
the Mckenzie statue of boy scout
ms n reminder that the boy scouts Of
Terre llaute were always ready W
the mayors service in his efforts for
E. new and better Terre Haute.
