Queens and Tobacco,
CURES THE SICK

Of tobacco, such as Queen Mary Of
England; there are others, and more
numerous, who do not disdain to
smoke in their intimacy good num-
ber of cigarettes.
Quen Amelia of Portugal, for in
stance was welded to tobacco. She
undoubtedly had this passion for to-
bacco from her mother. the countess
of Paris, who even smoked cigars, and
one day took to the pipe.
The dowager empress Of Russia
likewise enjoyed smoking. and her
daughter-in-law, the tsaritzh, whom
drinking tea consumed innumerable
cigarettes.
Queen Nathalia Of Serbia. the queen
Of Roumania and in general all Bal

fumed cigarettes.

In the salient Of Ypres there are not

marked by plain wooden crosses, some
times obliterated by the debris Of
ruined trenches, sometimes hidden in

Acid Stomach
Ruins Health
of Millions

Besides those painful attacks Of In.
digestion; that awful bloated, lumpy
feeling after eating and downright
stomach misery that you who have
experienced 1t know so we'll; besides
disgusting belching, food-repeating.
sour stomach and distressing heartburn
besides all this, ACID-STOMACH
undermines the health and saps the
strength of millions.
II you don't get rid Of those stomach
miseries there is no telling where your
stomach troubles will end, for 1t is a
well known scientific fact that many
serious ailments have their start in an
acid-stomach.
Start now-this very day to get rid Of
your stomach miseries-take EATONIC
the wonderful remedy that absorbs
the excess acid from the stomach and
brings INSTANT relief. You simply
have no idea how much better, stronger
and brighter you feel at once. 1t drives
out all the gas and bloat, puts an inn

cool, sweet, comfortable and strong.
There can be no further excuse for
you to allow acid-stomach to wreck
your health-pile up misery upon mis-

"ServIce,"

That has been the message of the
uniform to us. 1t was the badge Of
service. It samed us into unselfish-
ness. In every coat of blue or Of
olive drab was a lad who might per-
ish from torpedo or shrapnel. He was
a living sacrifice to the safety Of the
rest Of us. Thoughtful people could
not look on one Of these handsome
young men without inwardly wonder
ing whether he would be spared. or
how badly he would be wounded. Such
thoughts discourage meaner emotions.
