may follow. EATONIC Tablets, good
tasting, quick acting, and absolutely
harmless, have already proven an I'M

One or two EATONIC Tablets after
meals work wonders. They sweeten
and purify the stomach by neutraliz-

disturbances.
And the best part Of it is-you can
be your own judge. Just try EATONlC.
Let your own stomach tell you the
truth. III you are not pleased then
they don't cost you one penny.
Druggists are amazed at the aston

Sowe tell you to get large box Of

HOW NAMES BECOME CHANGED
Sometimes Intentionally, but More
Often Due to the "Wear and
Tear of Time"

"Who Was Who?' is the suggested
title for n new book to contain the
names of all persons who have
changed their names. A new publica-
ton will do that in England. If the
work is carried back far enough it will
be found that scarcely a name has
survived the wear and tear of time.
Some of the changes are intentional,
like our daily applications in court, but
most of them are due to bad spoilers
or poor pronunciation and phonetic
spelling to express the errors of pro-
nunciation. Our Dutch ancestors had
a habit of cutting off everything that
went down to and including the VAN
The name "Burch'' was originally
"Birch' and meant a man who lived by
the birch tree. 1t is a curious com
ment on this new book that the Lon
don newspaper editor who is putting il
out has juggled his own name after
] the English custom. when taking q
title. Good names are a misfortune
when they are used like family por
traits TO make snobs.-EXchange.

When hot weather comes, stomach
and bowel miseries begin. Strong,
sound stomachs as well as weak ones
are easily affected by the harmful
gases and acids so often produced in
the things we eat and drink during
hot weather. Winter-Nature's ice
box, is gone-hot weather breeds
the poisonous germs that cause pto-
maine poison in all its many forms.
Every one knows that the after-eat-
ing nausea, belching, that wretched,
bloated, ''lumpy" feeling, sour stom-
ach, heartburn, food repeating, and
other forms of indigestion and dys-
pepsia are far more frequent during
bot weather. 1t is the time when you
have-to guard constantly against ar
upset stomach and the many ills that
are always apt to follow. Then again
we have the worlds war to win
with the change of diet and extra

has been found for stomach sufferers,
which makes it possible for you to eat
