Acid Stomach Makes
Millions Weak and
Miserable

For years dentists hive been telling
us that It's acid mouth that ruins the
teeth. yet this acid that Is powerful

them, is tasteless. Its presence can be
detected only by chemical tests.
No chemical test is needed to tell you
that you have acid stomach.
Indigestion, belching, heartburn, sour
stomach, food-repeating, that miserable
pulled up feeling after eating, intestinal
pains, headaches, etc. These are all
Natures warning to you. They are
sure signs of superacidity.
Acid-stomach prevents proper diges-
ton and assimilation, thus causing the
blood to become thin and impoverished
as result Of which people become sal
low skinned, emaciated, sick and bad
looking.
Acid-stomach causes stomach and IN
testinal fermentation, producing poisons
and toxins which, absorbed into the blood
and carried throughout the system, cause
naturalization, insomnia, nervousness,
irritability, mental depression, melan-
cholia, dizziness, vertigo and oftentimes,
valvular heart trouble and heart failure.
Acid-stomach causes irritation all
along the intestinal tract-irritation so
severe and aggravating as to frequently
result in catarrh and even cancer of the
stomach.

washington, March 11.-Germany's
latest campaign of ruthlessness against
neutral shipping is attributed by the
War Trade Board in a statement to-
night to a deliberate plan for cutting
off the north European nations from
American and allied food supplies and
thereby reducing them through starva-
ticn to political and economic depend
ence upon the Teutonic war lords
While the board makes no reference
to the determination of the United
States and Great Britain. disclosed to-
dav. to take over Dutch ships in Amer
lean and Allied ports unless The Meth
erlands government accepts pending
economic agreement. its statement
throws interesting light upon the sit
uation which led to this decision. The
hope is oppressed that the neutrals
will contrast the respective attitudes
of the United States and Germany to-
ward the problem of feeding them.
Following is the statement:
"Germaay's war leaders are using
the submarine war weapon to prevent
fulfillment of American agreements to
feed and relieve European neutrals..
A mass Of cumulative evidence and in
dications in the possession of the War
Trade Board show that Germany is
employing the submarine menace to
prevent neighbor neutrals receiving
any food y favors at the hands OF the
United States and its associates in the
war and To coerce these neutrals
through starvation into political and
economic dependence upon Germany
quite as much as to strike at the COM
munications of its opponents-Ger

the ruthless submarine campaign.

the submarines are being used, along

stroy neutral shipping without regard to

LOYALTY OF
JAPAN SURE
SAYS BALF0UR

London, March 14-Speaking in the
House of Commons today on the situa-
ton in the East. Foreign Secretary
Balfour expressed perfect confidence in
Japans absolute loyalty in carrying
| cut any decision that might be reached
and declared that in this question he
had drawn no distinction between Jap
! an and the other allies.
Considered from the point of view of
| securing the freedom of small nations
| and saving the world from the DONNA
ton OF one greedy power Mr., Balfour
said nothing could he more unfortun-
ate than the coincidence between the
Russian revolution and the war that
was being conducted by Russia and her
allies. He was an optimist about Rus
sa. he added. but not about Russia s
immediate future.
H. b. Smith. Liberal for North
ampton, who several days ago notified
the House of his intention. asked Mr..
Balfour whether he could give the House
any information regarding the rumors as
10 the intentions of Japan in Asiatic Rus
sia and what was the attitude OF Great
| Britain on this subject.
Lord Robert Cecil. he said. had made
statement on the question which was of
a startling nature and most unfortunate
AT the present time. There was not the
slightest evidence. he declared. in support
OF the statement that large number of
| German prisoners in Siberia had been
armed and that a German general was on
the way to organize them. There was no
evidence that Germany was going to play
forces by mad expedition into Siberia
a. the Allies occupied Russia S eastern
provinces they could not at the peace
conference be able to raise their voice on
behalf of the world for Lithuania or Ru-
mania.
He dwelt upon the fact that President
" iison was the only Allied statesman to
send message to the Moscow convention
and declared that the avowed policy and
language of President Wilson were quite
at variance with those OF Lord Robert
Cecil, which contemplated a policy which
!. would mean that Japan would have to
! make war on the soveite government of
Russia. because If she entered Russia she
would be resisted by the Russian soveite
troops If Japan entered Russian terri
tory, seized and occupied it at the man
date of the alliance. it followed with al
most absolute certainty that this terri
tory would not be returned.
Asked by a member why not" Mr..
1 Lees-Smith replied;
Did Japan return Korea?'
Mr.. Lees-Smith hoped that Great Bri-
tain would follow the line of policy laid
down by President Wilson.
Alexander NJ. Scott, Liberal, Glasgow,
contended that the danger to the stores at
Vladivostok was insignificant In compar-
ison with the menace with which the
whole Allied campaign and strategy IN
the east was threatened.
