A well-known authority states that
stomach trouble and indigestion is
nearly always due to acidity-acid
stomach-and not, as most folks be-
lieve, from a lack of digestive juices.
He states that an excess of hydroch-
loric acid in the stomach retards di-
gestion and starts food fermentation,

a can, forming acrid fluids and gases
which initiate the somacm like a toy

He tells us to lay aside all diges-

pharmacy four ounces of Jad Salts
and take a tablespoonful in a glass
of water before breakfast while it is
effervescing, and furthermore. to
continue this for one week While re-

have released cabin boys for military

passengers on a rough trip is no in
viting task, yet these girls do it
and what is more, do it cheerfully.
Soon after the outbreak of war,
the Canadian Pacific Railway began
training women to fill positions made
vacant by enlistments. There were
many such vacancies. Today they
total nearly nine thousand. At first
women were considered only for Of
fee work and it was not long before
they were to be found in offices all
along the line. Then came the call
for car cleaners. The women re-
sponded. Engine wipers were need
ed. Again the women stepped up to
do the work, Every time new call
developed the women were ready for
it. On November 14th new fashion
in ticket sellers was put out at
Moose Jaw when Miss Jean Ellis
took her place at the ticket window.
No doubt this fashion will be widely
copied on both sides of the line.

The women of the United States
are in the first flush of enthusiasm
of volunteering to do mems work.
Daily we read of their entrance into
hitherto closed lines of labor. New
York City is becoming accustomed
to khaki CARRIED women street car
conductors; smartly uniformed girl
elevator operators; nattily clad the
alter ushers, and trim businesslike
postgirls.
Because of the much smaller popu-
lation of Canada and its earlier en-
tranc1 into the war, It's women were
long since called upon to do the alb
sent mems work. They have become
an accepted faeture, attracting little
or no attention today. It is not the
uniform that has lured the Canadian
girls into "doing their bit" 1t has
been the desire to help. Many of
the positions filed by women across
the border have no attractive fea-
lures. It is duty-plain duty-that
keeps the women in them.

stepping over torn strips of wall pa
per and some boards on the floor.
There is nothing more cherries
than empty rooms in the process of
painting and papering. And Helen
could not throw off feeling of de-
preston at the thought of living
here. A real sense of homesickness
for the apartment they were leaving
possessed her.
1t was after when they got back.
Helen quickly slipped into a house
dress and started to pack the rest of
the china.

third full he Strengthened up and
pushed it back.
