The patriot. (Glenmora, La.) 1918-1955, 1918-10-04

Life is dark-not worth mach to the
man or woman with an acid-Stomach.
Acld-stomach kills Hope. Ambition.
Energy Courage. 1t saps the strength
of the strongest body-impoverishes the
blood-causes untold suffering makes
millions weak, unfit and brings on pre-
maturG old age.
Millions of people are weak and unft,
suffering all the time, in one way or an
other, from superacidity or acid-stomach.
They don't seem dangerously sick.
Just ailing. Going through life weak,
listless. dragging one foot after another.
They're nervous and irritable: lack pow
er and punch. frequently have severe
attacks of binding, splitting headaches;
subject to fits of melancholia and men
tai depression. And nearly always their
stomachs are out of order, even though
many experience no actual stomach
pains-digestion p0or-rever getting
anywhere near the full strength from
their food.
SO, you see it's just this--acid -stom-
ach-that is holding so many people
back sapping up the strength they
should get from their food-taking away
their vigor and vitality-leaving them
weak and inefficient.
Get rid of the excess acid. That's
the secret of good health and is the only
way to obtain good digestion and assim-

ilatfon. 1t is the right way to be well
and keep strong. Ordinary medicine
won't do any lasting good. The best
they can do is to spur up your appetite
for awhile.
A modern remedy makes 1t possible
to remove excess acid without the slight
est discomfort. 1t is called EATONIC,
in the form of pleasant tasting tablets.
Their action in the stomach Is a good
deal like a piece Of blotting paper taking
up a drop of ink-they literally absorb
the injurious excess acid and carry it
away through the intestines.
Begin using EATONIC right now
today-and get on the road to bounding,
vigorous, vibrant health. Thousands
upon thousands of people who have
used EATONIC are enthusiastic In Its
praise. They say they never dreamed
that anything could bring them such
quick relief.
EATONIC is fully guaranteed. Your
druggist will give you a big box for only
so cents with the distinct understanding
that IL you are not PLEASED In every way,
you get your so cents back. II you can't
get EATONIC where you live--send US
your name and address; we will send
you a fifty cent box and you can send
us the soc when you get 1t. Address

BIRDS NEED HELP
ropekans Urged to Feed Feathered
Friends During Cold Spell.

z. F A Reinisch, superintendent or
Topelza pa.k5. in accordance with gov
eminent efforts. is handling cam
uaign here to induce Topekans to feed
the birds this winter
Feeding birds in winter, says
Reinisch. costs but little in food and
time. II the present bird population
IS kept alive. il means more birds next
summer. and more summer compan-
ions. TheJ will sing their thanks and
cl1irp to the beauty of the community.
Beside every bird Topekans keep
alive this winter will next summer re-
pay the debt by destroying hundreds
of caterpillars, grubs. borers. beetles
and insects that would prey on vegeta-
ton, trees and flowers It's better to
feed the birds now than to feed the
insects later.
The best winter food for birds is
suet or other fat. pork rinds, bones
With shreds Of meat. meal worms, cut
I'D apples. birdseed. crackers, crumbs.
seeds. oats and scores of other things
ekat humans eat. for birds will relish
most anything their benefactors like. -
The government, thru Reinisch, is
distributing posters and circulars
showing how birds can best be cared
for IN the winter.

THE LIGHr OF NIcorIASA.

Men boast Of the --ght that waneth.
When the glowing da5 is done;
They boast OF rhe light that waxeth,

They boast Of the light that shineth.
When the moon and stars arise;
And the light Of the lones-dsad pI2nets
swept out of the crowded skies
They pirate of the Vulcan-torches,
And the fireflies' fitful glow;
OF the glare OF the ightnings giances-
And the storrn-cloud's glaaming bow;
But the Light OF Nicotiana.
All where's on the land and sea,
When il springs from sweet HAVANA
IS the light Of lights for me-
king on his throne may weary,
soldier deplore the strife
A statesman may long for leisure
The toiler may tire OF ire;
But there's ever a soothing solace
For tn man with Il troubled soul
In the arms OF Nicotiana
The goddess whom I exrOi-
She softenS the rage OF battle.
She smiles at the frost and rain.
She Hg1rens the load OF labor
And pIucks out the sting OF pain.
The torch Of this pleasing goddess.
With its Pickering glow is seen.
Alike in the boreal Kingdom
And the tropics endless green;
In shines in the darksome valley,
In gIints the plain and lea.
Il CLOVIS on the lofty mountain
And gieams on the rolling sea
The tribes Of the ancient Forest
Inclining to wars surcease.

With the fragrant pipe of pence"
They read without lines or letters.
Their fate that friendly scroll
As IT streams in 4 cloud or incense
From the Natchitocnes bowl
There is nothing so Gains our spirits,
And kindles new hope in lie,
There is nothing so coothes our sorrows-
And guenches our rage for str1re,
There's nothing that gives ambition
Such pinions for lofty flight;
Nor ever brings such nepeurne,

REVIVE old CLUB
Chamber of Commerce Men,
bers Miss Their Yarn tests.
They Want Long View Organs
zatiOn Back Again.
PROVIDES HOT AIR ESCAPE
That Is the Principal Function
of the Club.
However. 1t Does Much Good In
Many Ways.

AT the Chamber OF Commerce at
the noon hour two Topeka men, prom
inent in nearly every effort for town
bstrernent. have recently been busy
circulating around among the diners.
quietly suggesting the resurrection OF
the Ole Long View club, which flour-
isfled had its being and died in the
old Chamber of Commerce on the firth
floor of the Commerce building.
When the old Long View club was
in the height of its glory. it was a
cosmopolitan body or men and its
chief function was to promote the art
of conversation and storytelling
Nearly every noon when the Chamber
of Commerce was in ITS old quarters
the men of the Long View club could
be seen in the reception room. where
they congresated around the big round
table and told stories and conducted
the business OF the nation and the
universe, and incidentally knit for
themselves fast Friendships and appre-
citation Of hidden qualities.
Cook Revives Interest
The effort to revive the Long View
club is the outgrowth OF a letter from
Fl. l. Cook. former secretary OF the
Topeka State fair. who was a member
u the Luis view CAQO VI the (uALrloeE
of Commerce. The letter was written
to e. L. Overton. who held the office
and title of careraker of the Long
View club.
It is thought that the Long View
club once more in fun operation would
prove an attraction for strangers
within the gates and that the Informal
atmosphere of the conversational en-
deavor would send many man OUT of
the Chamber of Commerce with a
taste of the ultimate of good-reilo4v-
snip IN his mind Incidentally it is ex-
pected that the revival of the Long
Viewers would do much to eliminate
the clique effect that number OF the
members of the Chamber Of Cons
merce unwlttingly give to visitors.
