ORCHESTRA HAS NO
RIVAL IN PLAYING
MUSIC OF THE SLAV

The Russian Symphony orches-
ira, which organization appears in
concert at Augustana gymnasium
tonight under the auspices OF the
college conservatory, ranks first
among orchestral societies in
America in the playing of the music
of the Slav. Modest AItschuler,
conductor of the orchestra, has
placed a number of such compost
tons on the program offered for
this evening, including In the
Aul' and March Sardar," sketches
by Ippolitoff- In reviewing
these numbers the Toronto World
says.
Then came two delightful eau
Casian sketches. The first of these
was remarkable for the oppOrtu-
nifty it gave for the display of viola
playing which has never been
equaled in this city The notable
performance was by Jacob Alt
schiller, brother of the conductor.
and he was ably seconded in what
is virtually a duet with the English
horn by f. Splitter, who played that
instrument eXquisitely. Such viola
playing is rarely heard, with tone
equal to the cello in richness, and
10 the violin in delicacy."
This is the first opportunity Rock
Island people have had TO hear any
thing in the line of good music for
many a day and there will undoubt-
eddy be a splendid audience pres
ent tonight to welcome the players.

Millions Are Weak
and Ailing Because
OF Acid Stomach

There are any number of people who for years
have been sick and ailing, weak, run down and in
poor physical condition who will be surprised
even dumbfounded-to learn that their trouble has
Just been acio-stomach, which is merely another
for what doctors call superacidity. Yet it is
now positively known that acid-stomach is the
cause of very large number of diseases.
Excess acid in the stomach prevents proper
digestion and assimilation, thus causing the
blood to become thin and impoverished a result
OF which people become sallow-skinned, emaciated
and anemic.
Excess acid causes irritation all along the intes-
final tract-rritation so severe and aggTaVatng as
to frequently result in catsrrh and even cancer OF
the stomach.
Excess acid causes stomach and intestinal fer
rnentaton, producing poisons which, absorbed into
the blood and carried throughout the system,
auto-ntoxication, insomnia, nervousness, irritable
ity, mental depression, melancholia, dizziness,
vertigo and, often times, vavular heart trouble and
heart failure.
Yes, many people will be greatly surprised to
learn that such long train of physical ailments
be traced directly to an acid-stomach, But there
is no need for surprise. Think what acid mouth
does to the teeth. The acid eats right through the
enamel-the hardest substance In the human body
And that is exactly what makes teeth rot and de-
cay. No wonder, then, that excess acid in the
stomach plays such havoc; causes SO much i'll
health and misery-makes many people weak
and ang-unit for either work or pleasure and
brings on premature old age
So often you have heard the remark: I've
taken all sorts of tonics and medicines and tried
many different doctors but nothing seems to help
me-" Nine times out of ten the person making
such o remark has an acid-stomach. And until
the excess acid is removed, nothing WILL help.
Remove that excess acid and the resulta are truly
wonderful. Health and strength return almost
like magic.
You can now rid your stomach of it's excess acid,
wonderful modern medicine called EATONIC
literally wipes it out. 1t does the work easily
speedily and thoroughly 1t makes the stomach
pure sweet, cool and comfortable It helps you
get full strength ont of every mouthfu of food you
eat; and unless you DO get full strength from your
food you cannot enjoy robust, vigorous health.

EATONIC is in the form of tablets They are
pleasant-tasting- eat them Just like candy.
Try EATONIC and see how wonderfully diff
ferent you viii. feel. See how quickly EATONIO
bsnishes the immediate effects of acid-stomach-
bloat, heartburn belching. food repeating. indi-
gestion, etc. See too, how quickly your general
health improves-how much more relish you take
IN e2tIng-hoW much more easily your food is
digested-how soundly you seep-how nervous
ness and irritabihty disappear. And ali simply
because, by taking EATONfC, you get rid of a lot
of excess acid that has been holding YOU back and
making your life miserable.
This is the help you need. You need il to keep
your stomach in 8 strong, healthy condition so
that, in turn, your mind and body will be strong
and vigorous.
1t is so easy to get this hepand il costs go little
So why suffer another hour when sure quick relief
is at hand? Ask your druggist about it. He knows
that tens OF thousands of people all the United
States have used this wonderful modern remedy and
the results have been nothing short of marvellous.
Everywhere people who have used EATONIC tes-
tfy to its power to bring quick relief. The testi-
monials OF some OF these people are enthusiastic
and tell of such remarkable results as to be almost
unbelievable.
If you are one OF those who have "tried every-
thing, but in spite of it still lacking in physical
strength and vgor, begin at once 70 take EATONIC.
Don't put it off. Get back your physical and
mental punch. Have the power and energy to
work with vim, Enjoy the good things OF life.

wonderful cbFage for the better could be brought
about so quirkiy.

Sources That Pro jected
E t e rprise Is Nearing
COnsummat ton.

Backed by a group of Texas capi-
talists whose investing eyes have been
cast Imperial Valleyward for some
time, James Guitar. a practical cot
ton man, who is at present in Calex-
leo, was today reported to have COM
pleted negotiations for the construc-
tion Of two cotton gins.
The gins, which will represent an
investment mounting well up into six
figures, are proposed to be erected in
Ell Centre and Calexico to handle the
crops of these two regions.
While the entire story could not be
confirmed, owing to the failure to To-
cate the promoter, it was understood
that the machinery for the local plant
would arrive within short time and
that the installation would be COM
pleted in time to catch some of the
late run cotton.
1t was reported that sites for the
two plants had already been purchased
or were under option and that the
entire deal was nearing consummation.
This news is of interest to ranch
ers and business men throughout the
Valley, as the mills will be indepen-
IDENTIFY run and will divorce the GIN
ming operation from the monopoly en-
joyed by the Globe Mills. Company.
Mr.. Guitar, the man heading the
projected enterprises, is Texan and

ATTACKS REVE NUE..
B Ill IN DEBATE
Declares That Wealth Has Been
Taxed to Straining Point and
Warns That New Tax Must Be
Borne by Internal Levy.
By Associated Pressl

Washington, Sept. 10.-Representa-
tive Longworth today declared that
wealth was taxed about to the strain
ing point by the new war revenue bill,
when debate was resumed. He warned
his hearers that additional levies
hereafter must be borne by people
purchasing articles of daily necessity.
He commended the bill as whole,
although he criticized some features
of it.
REPRESENTATIVE Longworth por-
trayed the conditions under which
the German people are gagged and
bound to pay bloody tribute to the
Unsuitable ambition of the House OF
Hohenzollern. He said no citizen of
the embattled nations, not even sons
of the great pacifist Henry Ford, was
more surely immune from bodily harm
Titan are the German emperor's six
sons, who are to be preserved undam-
aged to posterity. The sons of pres
idents of the United States had bee
less timorous he said. Without men
tioning the name of his father-in-lav
Theodore Roosevelt, Representativ
Longworth said that all four sons
former president had been at tn
real front. One had perished glol
iously on the field of honor; two ha
been wounded, one so seriously tina
he had been invalided home, and tn
only one who had escaped injury ha
bene decorated for conspicuous gal
lantry. He said ex-President Taft's
sons were at the front and that if
President Wilson had been blessed
with sons of fighting age they, too,
would be on the firing line.

FOCH SAID TO EMPLOY
HINDENBURG STRATEGY

New York, Sept. 1G.-Marshal Foch
is credited by some of the German
newspapers with adopting 'new
method of defense learned from Hin
denburg." The Allied commander Is
said by the German correspondent of
the Berlin Vorwaerts to have applied
he method to the defensive fighting
just before the great Allied offensive
began at the Marne salient in July.
The method is described as with-
drawal of troops from the first line
and placing the main force on the
second line. This weakened the Of.
feet of the German artillery.
"Enemy batteries were in such deep
formation" writes the Vorwaerts'
correspondent, shat their barrage
struck the German attacio, not in
frorntr rof the first line. but only in
front of the second line. This defcn-
sive action, learned from Hindenburg,
naturally demands a new method Of
attack, which will not be long in COM
ing"
