Last winter and winter before it was the entente
soldiers who had to stand fast in mud, sush and
water of the lowlands This winter these soldiers
hold all the highlands on the 450-mile front from
the North Sea to Switzerland, barring few small
sectors, and it is the German soldier who must
dure the musk-rat existence.
Over in Italy the situation is reversed The Ital-
ians hold the comparatively comfortable plains
while their enemies must endure all the terrors of
winter in the mountains with their supplies de-
pendent upon their ability to keep open adequate
transportation thru blizzard-sw passes. Indeed
it is said that Gen. Cadorna long ago planned for
retirement to the present line of the Piave first
class strategy but was forbidden to so move be-
of the ill effects upon the morale of his forces
which was being steadily undermined by German
propaganda.

Dear Miss Grey: Three

PUT STOMACH IN

Says Indigestion Results from
an Excess Of HydroChloric
Acid.

Undigested food delayed in the stom.
ach decays, or rather, ferments the
same as food LIFT in the open air, says
a noted authority. He also tells US
that Indigestion is caused by Hyper
acidity, meaning, there is an excess of
hydrochloric acid in the stomach
which prevents complete digestion and
starts food fermentation. Thus every
thing eaten sours in the stomach much
like garbage sours in a can. forming
acrid fluids and gases which initiate the
stomach like toy balloon. Then We
feel a heavy, lumpy misery in the chest,
we belch up gas, VIZ eructate sour food
or have heartburn, flatulence, water
brash or nausea.
He tells US to lay aside all digestive
aids and instead, get from any phar-
macy four ounces OF Jad Salts and take
a tablespoonful in glass OF water be-
fore breakfast and drink while il is ef-
fervescing, and furthermore, to CON
tinue this for a week. While relief fol-
lows the first dose, it is important TO
neutralize the acidity, remove the gas
making mass, start the liver, stimulate
the kidneys and thus promote a free
flow of pure digestive juices.
lad Salts is Inexpensive and is made
from the acid Of grapes and lemon
Juice, combined with lithia and sodium
phosphate This harmless salts is used
by thousands Of people for stomach
trouble with excellent results. (Adv)
