a noted authority. lie also tells us that
Indigestion IS caused by Hyper-acidity.
meaning, there is an excess Of hyro-
chloric acid in the stomach which pre-
vents complete digestion and starts
food fermentation. Thus everything
eaten sours in the stomach much like
garbage sours in a can. forming acrid

ach like a toy balloon. Then VIC feel a

WORRIED HOW TO
STOP THE PRACTICE
Stealing From Trains Gives
Authorities Other Things
to Think About.
TIMES BUREAU,
AT STATE CAPITAL.

INDIANAPOLIS. IND. Feb. s.
Stealing Of coal from trains and in
railroad yards has become. apparently.
an established industry in some parts
OF Indiana. and it IS causing much
trouble TO railroads and coal dealers.
Reports come in from various places
that every time coal train arrives
in a town and stops at a water tank
or any other place people swarm
around It and throw large amounts OF
coal off the cars which they take
home with them.
Aat Terre Hauto. for instance, and
at HIuncle and other places this prac-
tice has become serious. It is esti-
mated that as much as twenty tons
OF coal Is taken from the cars OF coal
trains in Terre Haute alone at times.
Local police officials are unable to
core with the situation. because the
crowd OF coal thieves IS generally too
large for them to handle. As many
as a hundred persons join n the raid
on coal trains at times. Policemen
who undertake to dispense such crowds
take their lives into their hands, and
in numerous instances policemen have
been assaulted when they attempted
10 break up a coal stealing party. One
man was arrested at Nuncie To- steal
Ing coal. but this IS the only reported
instance Of the kind In the crowds
0 coal thieves are men, women. Buys
and girls. and t IS said that tho <. on
en- who indulge IN the pastime are
tho worst offenders OF ali.
The loss that comes from coal steal
ing falls on the dealer TO whom the coal
IS consigned. The railroad does not
lose the coal and no claim for damages
for the loss can be sustained against
the railroad. All coal shipped in open
top cars IS shipped a the risk of the
owner. the railroad assuming no liabil-
titles for it.
On the other hand the operator sells
the coal {. o. b. cars at the mines. and
the deaIor to whom It is consigned owns
the coal from the time it IS Put in the
car at the mines. Thus the coal be-
longs to the dealer from the time Il
is loaded and If any Of It IS stoler
while the car IS in transit from tn'
mine to the coal yard the dealer mus
lose it. The same is true in the case
Of a public utility. electric company o.
any other such concern that uses Goa
in It's business IS in the same elias:
and must stand its own loss.
One dealer at Charlottesville a few
days ago reported that when a car Of
coal arrived that had been shipped e
him from an Indiana mine X was short

Deep-Seated Disease That Can,
not Be Reached by Local
Treatment.

When you hawk and spit until you
almost strangle in an effort to get
your breath, because your air-pas-
sages are all choked up with Catarrh,
and your condition grows worse from
day to day, you are about ready to
realize that Catarrh IS by no means a
Eimple ailment.
IF you have had the disease for any
length of time, you have doubtless
used enough treatment to convince
you that you viii not be able to find
any lasting relief from the remedies
that are so generally relied upon.
Others who have been afflicted with
Catarrh have used atomizers and
sprays, ointments, salves, jellies and
other local applications by the whole
sale, without making the slightest
progress toward cure.
You are doomed to the same disap-
pointment, if you rely upon the same
misdirected methods of treating this
disease, for Catarrh is too stubborn
and deep-seated to be reached by
indicated applications which are ap-
piled only to the surface.
Why not save yourself the expense

merritt Not only is Catarrh a source
of suffering to yourself, and annoy
ing and repulsive to those about you,
but it is disease that is not TO be
considered lightly, for IL it is not
checked the lungs sometimes become
affected, eud everyone knows how
serious that is.
Catarrh is caused by millions Of
tiny disease germs that infest the
blood. When they attack the delicate
membranes and air passages of the
nose and throat, you can never get
rid Of them by sprays and atomizers.
They must be thoroughly routed
from the blood. That is why S. S. s.
is used so successfully in treating Ca
tarrh. This remedy is so thorough in
cleansing the blood that it .routs out
every germ Of Catarrh or other dis
ease.
S. S. S. goes right down TO the
source of the disease. and If you will
begin its use today, you will find
yourself at last on the right treat
