One OF the worst features OF acid
stomach is that very often it liter
ally starves its victims in the midst
of plenty. And the strange thing
about it is that the people with
acid-stomachs seldom know what
their trouble really is.
No matter how good or bow
wholesome the food may be, orfhow
much they eat, they do not gain in
strength. This is clearly explained
by the fact that an acid-stomach
cannot properly digest food. In
stead of healthy, normal digestion,
the excess acid causes the food to
sour and ferment Then when this
mass of sour, fermented food,
charged with EXCESS acid, passes
into the intestines, it becomes the
breeding place for all kinds of
germs and toxic poisons, which in
turn are absorbed into the-blood
and In this way distributed through
out the entire body. And that is
exactly why it is that so many
thousands of people eat and eat
and keep on eating and yet are lit
orally starving in the midst OF
plenty. Their acid-stomachs make
it absolutely impossible for them TO
get the full measure of nourish-
ment out of their food. And it
doesn't take long for this poor
to show its i'll effects
in a weakened, emaciated body.
You may say: MY stomach
doesn't hurt me-" That may be
true because many victims of acid
do not actually suffer
stomach pains. Then again, there
are millions who do suffer all kinds
of aches and pains-headaches
rheumatic twinges, govt, lumbago,
pains around the heart and in the
never dream that an

Acid-stomach Is the real cause of

do is to strike right at the very
cause of this trouble and clean the
excess acid out of the stomach.
There Ia a quick, easy way to do
this. 4 wonderful new remedy
quickly removes the excess acid
without the slightest discomfort II
is EATONIC. Made in the form Of
tablets-they are good to eat-just
like a bit of candy. They literally
absorb the injurious excess acid
and carry it away through the in
testines. They also drive the bloat
out of the body-in fact you can
fairly feel it work Make a test of
EATONIC in your own case today.
Get a big box of EATONIC from
your druggist See for yourself
how surely 1t brings quick relief
in those painful attacks OF indiges-
ton. bitter heartburn. belching. dis

bloated, lumpy feeling after eating
and other stomach miseries. Danish
all your stomach troubles so conS
pletely that You forget you have
a stomach. Then you can eat what
you like and digest your food IN
comfort without fear of distressing
after effects.
II EATONIC does not relieve YOU,
II Will not cost you one penny. You
can return it to your druggist and
get your money back So If you
have the slightest question about
your health-f you feel you are not
getting all the strength out of your
fOod-if you are not feeling tip-top,
ready for your work, full OF vim
and vigor-do give EATONIC a fair
trial this very day and see how
much better you will feel

A FAIR TRIAL.

Legislation to prevent the president from re-
turning the railroads to private management
in the immediate future will be introduced in
congress. according to advices from Washing
ton.
According to the present arrangement in
gard to government operation of railroads, these
properties will be returned to private ownership
twenty-one months after peace is signed, or
earlier. if congress should SO enact.
According to Senator Cummings of Iowa. a
resolution depriving the president of authority
to return the roads will be presented shortly.
In recent hearing, former Director-General
William G.. McAdoo surprised his interrogators
by declaring himself personally opposed to the
government ownership of railroads, in spite of
the fact that he has most successfully bossed the
job of railroad management during the months
that the United States engaged in warfare.
However Mr.. McAdoo may personally feel, the
results of government ownership of railroads
have spoken for themselves in better operation
and more satisfactory service in every respect,
at least when McAdoo was on the job.
It is too and conditions are too far as yet
from normal for offhand public condemnation or
appreciation to mean much, but the improvement
of the public service assuredly marked in
many respects after the government undertook
to souve the problem, and it certainly deserves
a longer trial under normal conditions.
