ACid-StOmach Brings
On Premature
Old Age

You can fairly feel it work. This leaves the
stomach sweet. cool and strong. As the excess
acid is taken away, it aids digestion and assimila
ton and so helps you get full strength out OF
every mouthful of food you eat. In case or
Indigestion, heartburn, bloat, belching, gassy
sour stomach, foodrepeating, and that miserable
puffed up feeling after eating EATONIC at
fords almost instant relief.
1t is not intended that EATONlC is in any
suggested IA direct cure for catarrh. ul-
Ger and cancer of the stomach, cirrhosis OF the
liver, autointoXicaton, anemia, emaciation
nervousness, mental depression headache ana
other serious disorders arising from superacidity.
But EATONIC positively does clean out the ex-
cess acid. And never lose sight of the fact that
it is excess Observation-Disclosures Is the
starting cause, so great food scientists says, OF
all those physical and mental ills.
You have right to enjoy perfect health eat
the things you like without the slightest fear
of i'll after effects, feel fine and fit and be at
your best-physically ard mentally-every hour
of the day every day of the year and from one
years end to the other. You ought to sleep

that way? If YOU don't there's something the
matter-something hats slowing you down and
holding you back Look to your acid stomach.
See if YOU can't locate the source of all the
trouble right there. For the chances are that
you have an acd-stomach-and you can't be well
and strong, and retain your hold on youth until
you get rid of it,
EATONIC has been the salvation OF thou
sands in putting your acd-stomach TO rights.

III PasO Oil Man Here.

f. j. Garrett of the E,llott-Garrett
Co.. Limited, ltl paso, Texas, is in Ard
more on business for his company
which deals in oil properties. Mr.. Car
rett says that there are several tests
going down in Reeves and Pecos coun-
ties. In the vicinity of olbrook, AriZr
there are now five rigs drilling. He
predicts vigorous campaign of wild
eating throughout the Southwest as
soon as the obstacles imposed by the
war boards have been removed.
Conditions in FL Paso, Mr.. Garrett
says, have been extremely unsatisfac-
tory so far as business relations with
Mexico are concerned. Transportation
in Mexico is almost an impossibility,
and an appeal will be made to Wash
ington, asking that better conditions be
demanded from the Carranza govern
ment.
Mr.. Garrett mentions an instance in
illustration Of these transportation
troubles as follows: a rancher in Mex
leo raised 500 cars of potatoes which
he shipped to market, but only 10 per
cent of the shipment reached the mar
ket, the remainder being stolen enroute
Before "A shipment can be started out
the Mexican conductor of the train
must be paid 500; then the shipment
will go perhaps to the end of the diff
sion, where another bribe must be paid
which is more than likely to be double
the first bribe, and SO it goes on to the
end of the journey, where the shipper
is lucky if there is enough left to pay
the freight.

SALT WATER FROM OIL
FIELD MAKES KANSAS TOWNS
SUPPLY UNFIT FOR USE

Winfield Kan, No. 22.-The strange
Phenomenon Of a Kansas ripper being
transformed into a stream as bracksh
as sea water brought a crisis to this
city which finally has been overcome.
The crisis was due to the fact that the
city's water supply came from this once
fresh water stream-the Walnut river

stalling a new source of supply bv sink
ing eight wells and connecting them
with electrically driven pumps. The
wells have been supplying the city suf-
ficiently long to consider the test thor
ough. They are giving good satisfac-
ton, the quality of the water being
much better than that originally oh
tanned from the Walnut before it be
came a salt water stream.
The transformation that the Walnut
river underwent was due, it was ascer-
tained, to the development of the oil
field in Butler County, through which
the river passes before reaching here.
A great many wells had been drilled
within the watershed of the Walnut,
and these wells brought to the surface
and to the substrata such 4 supply of
salt water that the river became grad
ually contaminated until its water was
unsatisfactory for city use. \ chemical
analysis showed that il contained 1000
parts of salt TO each million parts of
water.
The city started prospecting for a
water supply. making about 80 tests in
the surrounding territory. An abun-
dant supply finally was located about
four miles west of the pumping sta
ton. The eight wells sunk here, to 4

A few years ago the famous scientist Prof.
MetchnikOff, declared that people generally be-
come decrepit-feeble-age years and year be
fore their time - that person ought to live well
"A hundred years. He devoted "A long life TO
scientific experiments and proved that the toxic
poisons which form in the intestines and
autointoXication-that is, self poisOning-had
more to do with shortening life than anything
else. Clean out these poisons and there is rea-
son why human beings should not live hale,
hearty strong and vigorous hundred years or
more. Such is the doctrine as taught by the noted
Metchnikoff
What causes those toxic poisons you ask
where do they come from-how do they get into
the intestinal tract?
Science gives us an answer in one word-super-
acidity-which is merely the medicinal name for
what is more commonly known as acidstomach.
Too much acid in the stomach nterferes with
proper digestion of food. Instead, it ferments
and it is this of partially dgested, sour
fermenting food passing through the intestines
that creates those toxic poisons-poisons that are
absorbed into the blood. causing it 10 become thin
pale and sluggish-posons that are carried into
every part of the system-poisons that cause
long train of diseases and make millions of
men and women feeble. haggard and old look
ing before their time when by right they should
be strong, healthy, in the prime of life.
Common sense tells that in order to stop
those toxic poisons forming in the intestnes
YOU must rid the stomach of excess acid. The
food you eat must be properly digested and
assimated. and not allowed to enter the intes
tines a sour. fermented mass, there to become
a breeding place for countless millions of deadly
germs-for these germs are in reality what
make the posOns.
A way has been found for removing the excess
acid from the stomach quickly, naturally,
easily, that it seems almost unbelievable. The
removal of the excess acid is done by an abb
sorbent remedy-much the same as you take up
a blot of ink with botting paper.
This modern remedy is called EATONIC. in
the form of compressed tablets. tnat you eat
like bit of candy. 1t is prepared to absorb
the harmful acid and carry il away through
the bowels 1t drives the bloat out of the body.
