H. L. Kramer, the man who origin
ated Cascorets, has discovered a sure,
safe, quick-acting relief for bad stom-
achs. He named it EATONIC for your
stomach's sake.
You can eat anything you like now
and digest it in comfort, for stomach
ease is positively assured If you eat
an EATONIC tablet regularly after
each meal.
EATONIC acts directly with the
food the moment it enters the stOm-
ach. 1t Immediately checks any ten
dency toward too much acid and en-
ables the food to pass from the stom-
ach into the bowel in a sweetened con-
dition, and thus prevents the fOrma-
ton of sour distressing gases that up
set digestion and cause blOated, dull,
lumpy feeling that makes your
FOOD REPEAT.
EATONIC enables you to eat your

sia, heartburn, "sOur stomach" and all
the other bugaboOs of "the-man-afraid-
Of-his-stOmach."
Kramer says: "EATONIC should be
in every home ready for use after ev-
cry meal. An EATONIC tablet will
aid you naturally to easily digest
and assimilate-your food can be thor
oughIy enjoyed without the slightest
danger of misery from acid stomach.
1 strongly advise every one to take EA-
TONIC after meals. To correct bad
Stom, chs and keep them in perfect
condition, it is a most wonderful dis
covery."
If EATONIC fails to give you
prompt stomach relief, your money
will be refunded; SOC buys large box

Despite the competition Of electri-
city, the coal gas business is steadily
increasing in England.
There was record production of
sulphuric acid in the United States
last year, exceeding the previous year
by at least 100000 tons.
There were S99,S16 gallons of cream,
valued at $S64,1S6, invoiced at the
American consular agency at Beebe
Junction, Quebec, Canada, for the
United States during 1917, as com.
pared with 471,S96 gallons, valued az

and in consequence my husband could
not accompany us. The colonel insist
ed upon my taking my two children
with us, although both were very
small, my little boy, John A. Logan,
Jr., mere baby. However, he regard
ed the trip in the light of an historic
pilgrimage and felt that the children
should see some of the battlefields
over which distinguished generals had
led their armies.
ut was cold, bleak day on which
we arrived in Richmond, and the hO-
tel was desOlate place of refuge. It
afforded one of the evidences of the
privatiOns which the people of the
Confederacy had suffered. These evil
dences were very plentiful throughout
the city, as we later discovered. The
vehicle which Colonel Wilson found
for our conveyance for the drive to the
backgrounds nearby was wretched
carriage drawn by two miserably poor
horses. The driver was the picture Of
detection, and the small boy who
served as fOOtman was no better, and
he shivered from head to foot with
the cold.
"As we drove over the battlefields
we observed colored people picking up
the bullets and pieces of shell, shrap-
mel, minnie balls, bits of broken can
non and other iron material. Foun-
dries had set price on this product,
and 1t afforded quite livelihood for a
time to the poor about fortified cities
and battleflelds.
1--WE visited the churchyards and
cemeteries at Richmond and Peters
burg made historic through the strug-
giles which had taken place in and
around those cities. There were
great many burial grounds in those
neighbOrhOOds, because the globes,
which were land grants from Eng
land to the Episcopal church in
America, had still existed as church
grants at the time of the Civil war.
and were used as burial grounds for
the citizens and soldiers.
"In the burying ground near Peters
burg we saw many hundreds Of
graves of Confederate soldiers, and
they nearly all bore a small, faded
flag, and the dark, withered wreaths
and remains of their floral decoration
Of nearly year before. These
mOurnful mementOes Of the bygOne
tragedy of the South touched me
deeply, and on our return home from
the tour of the battlefields I told my
husband of this tribute Of the Southern
men and women to their soldier dead.
General Logan reciprOcated my
