Acid-StoI1lach Holds Millions Sick and Sufferinu

Do you realize that you may have an acid-stomach?
 It is the very thing that causes in- digestion, heartburn, bloat, belching, stomac pains and all kinds of etom- ach miseries. So if you ever suffer from any of these painful and distress sing symptoms you may feel surethat you have an acid-stomach.
 On the other hand, there are millions of people who are victims of acid stomach without their knowing it. People who are tired, listless, run down and worn always sickly and ailing. People who are thin blooded, pale, weak and emaciated. People who have frequent attacks of rheumatism, sciatica, lum ago. Thou sands upon thousands who suffer al- most daily from severe headaches, whose nerves are always on edge, irrit- able, mentally depressed, lie awake and toss about throughout the night, cnd take dark outlook on life. They may have no pains in the stomach at all-and vet, nine times out of ten it is just acid-stomach that is causing them all their troubles.
 Boiled down to few simple facts the condition is this: An acid-stomach

MARTIN SCHOOL
 IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION

The following interesting report of the work being done by the Martin School I'm. pavement association has been made by Mrs. Charles A. Lloyd, the secretary, and will be read with much interest:
 "The Martin School Improvement asso- citation is doing splendid work under the able leadership of Mrs. H. N. McTyiere as president.
 Committees on various activities re- ported most favorably at our last meet ing.
 "A new Victrola has been purchased and some little kitchen and lunchroom equip ments.
 "A report from Mrs. Hewlette Ansley, who as chairman of a committee visited the lunch rooms of five other schools, proved that our own lunch room compares well in menus, prices, etc., with any school in the city.
 "On Sunday, March 9, about 30 fathers of the school children responded to call from the principal, Mir Ijhanus to meet and discuss the boy and other problems. The meeting proved most interesting and with the association was expressed. MT. Forney Brandon was chosen chair man of a committee on community work.
 Splendid work is being done in the Red Cross. Also the health crusaders are reported as being most enthusiastic iE their work. Mothers observe that ob- jections to ablutions, etiquette and wholesomeness in general are less ire quently voiced, and the justly famous rite of the Saturday night bath is no longer confined to that particular day of the week.
 Mrs. I. w. Broughton as chairman of the back to school movement is doing earnest work.
 "A spirit of alert interest and desire to serve seems to be awakening in the con sciousness of every patron, and the future looks bright for our school. W

Advertisements on Trees.

Already in nine states the mailing of
advertisements onto trees, sides of
barns and fences within the limits of
highways and on property of persons
owning land, without the owners per-
mission is prohibited by law, Col Ed

tional Highways Protective society,
stated at Boston when commenting on
the work his society is doing to beau
tify and preserve the highways of the
United States.
Aside altogether from the stand
point of beauty. said Colonel Cornell
mailing of advertisement onto trees
is harmful to the trees themselves and
also the fact that heavy nails are left
embedded in the wood renders the
work of saving them into lumber dan
gerous to the workers later.
Colonel Cornell added that bill to
prohibit unlawful signs on highways

WHAT WAR DID FOR MEN

With the government asking that
all men be taken back and given
their old business position, American
employers are responding in way
to be proud of. But one British con-
Germ has found that it pays not only
to give men back their old jobs, but
to promote them accordingly as their
ability has been developed by their
terms of service. The plan is de-
scribed as follows by P. A. Best, d.

THE RED CROSS LEGION.

Red Cross work is beginning rather
than ending; it is not case of hang
ing on till the finish but of taking hold
of something that is for the most part
entirely new, and giving it the en-
thusiastic support which we gave to
the war service.
The Red Cross did wonderful. things
during the war but it is not sufficient
that we sit back and live upon the re-
putation of those things for the rest
of the generation. War work is still
to be finished, it is true, and no one
doubts that it will be finished, but
there is more suffering to be relieved
that is not altogether due to the raw
ages of war.
There is a great big job of social SER
vice, public health, and nursing work
which will never be done unless it is
done now by the splendid organization
which accomplished so much during
the nations emergency. This is peace
time work. 1t is not the strenuous
struggle of the last two years but
it is that task which enables US To
keep alive our Red Cross spirit, and to
perpetuate our Red Cross association
in sort of fraternity of effort such
as is exemplified in the army by the
American Legion.
We of the Red Cross do not want
a discharge, we want, perhaps a fur
Tough. or perhaps to go into the re-

remain Red Cross worker and to

serve only as kindly reminders of the
hard tasks we had before the day of
