Acids In Stomach

Create Gas, SOurness and Pain
How To Treat.

Medical authorities state that near
ly nine-tenths of the cases of stom-
ac1l trouble. indigestion, sourness,
burning. gas bloating, nausea, etc,
are due to an excess of hydrochloric
acid in the stomach and not as some
believe to a lack of digestive juices
The delicate stomach lining is irri-
tated, digestion is delayed and food
soufs, causing the disagreeable symp-
toms which every stomach sufferer
knows so well.
Artificial digestents arn not needed
in such cases and may do real harm.
Try laying. aside all digestive aids
and instead get from any druggist
a few ounces of Bisurated Magnesia
and take a teaspoonful in a quarter
glass of water right after eating
This sweetens the stomach prevents
the formation of excess acid and
there is no sourness gas or pain
Bisurated Magnesia On powder or
tablet form never liquid or milk)
is harmless to the stomach inexpen-
sive to take and is the most efficient
form of magnesia for stomach pur-
poses. 1t is used by thousands of
people who enjoy their meals with
no more fear of Indigestion. G. A.

IDEAL STATESMAN
SANE PRINCIPLES APPLY NOW


III Ben Franklin were alive today,
you could bet he would be in the front
line Of patriots urging that the United
States bend every energy to defeat
Prussian militarism," said Joe Long,
Davenport, noted good roads booster,
in = stirring address last evening at
the Rock Island club at the annual
banquet of the Tri-City Ben Franklin
club. The affair was attended by
about sixty members and their wives.
Mr.. Long gave an interesting study
Of Franklin's life and showed that the
principles which the statesman advo-
Gated in the early and crucial period
OF this country's history were APP
plicable in most significant way in
the present national emergency.
Franklin was one of the strong
characters Of the colonial period,
standing out bravely for the rights of
democracy against autocracy," said
Mr.. Long. "He advocated with rare
ability and fortitude that the United
States should have the right of self
government without any interference
on the part Of foreign potentates, and
stood for all of the high ideals for
which the United States is now con-
tending in its fight in behalf of small
nations. The present generation can
we'll follow the shining example of
the printer-statesman and should be
as loyal in its support of Uncle Sam
as he was in the days of the Revolu-
tionary war"
The excellent address of Mr.. Long
was not the only feature of the gath
ering. Dinner was served at z o'clock,
during which time many popular
songs were sung by the company, the
climax coming with the rendition of
America"
Henry Kramer Of this city, presi-
dent of the club, was the first speaker
called on by POSTMASTER E. u Meyer,

Freeland, Moline, and w. L. Purcell

given by Mrs. Fay Gregg and Mrs
Henry Kramer, after which Mr.. Long
was introduced. Following the toasts

HOW STEVE MURPHY
WEATHERED STORM

Stephen Murphy of this city is con-
ducter on the Rock Island road be-
tween this city and Peoria. His train
was caught in the blizzard last week
at the hamlet of Stark and was snow
bound for 81 hours with 81 passengers
aboard. How Steve handled the sit

is as follows:
STRANDED in the hamlet of Stark,

Best Conditions for Sleep.

The best time for sleeping is that
time that will favor the greatest de-
gree of relaxation. With most people
this is some time during the hours
Of darkness, when there isn't so much
going on to distract the senses Of
sight and hearing. Just what hours
should be devoted to sleep is not as
important as that there should be
enough of them. The So-called beau
ty sleep, achieved during the hours
preceding midnight, is a fact only be-
cause it adds to the number Of hours
which; under ordinary conditions, we
might be supposed to spend in bed.
Most of us get up at about the same
time every morning-no matter how
early or how late we've gone to bed
the night before. So there isn't a
word of truth in the old fable that
one hour Of sleep before midnight is
worth any two hours later. Sleep
is sleep, provided only that it is sound
reStful Sleep-whether we get it at
eight o'clock in the evening, two
o'clock in the morning, or one o'clock
the next afternoon. If we can get
our sleep undiluted by disturbance so
much the better
