GENUINE BOOSTER
BAXTER SPRINGS


The old home town Of Baxter
Springs has received q fresh impetus
today in the person of Powell Briscot
of the Sanitary Grocery who has just
returned from a few days trip to
Eureka Springs, Ark.
Mr., Briscoe is naturally a wide
awake,es progressive citizen and has
heretofore made the very best that he
knew how of his advocacy Of Baxter
Springs interests, but the trouble
with him and many others in Baxter
has been that the lid has never been
sufficiently lifted-that is, the atmOs-
phere of progress in which they have
lived has been too selfish; too narrow;
their vision was not broad enough.
And from this statement hangs the
story of Powell Briscoe.
When Mr.. Briscoe arrived at Eu-
reka Springs he was taken in charge
by the secretary Of the Chamber Of
Commerce and driven over the new
auto roads (this in Arkansas) and
was shown the many new enterprises
launched thru the efforts Of being con-
nected with town that was backed
with business men who really knew
what the word booster meant-they
were united in every enterprise, and
this is why they were prOspering and
Eureka Springs was on the map.
Mr.. Briscoe has returned here a
very much changed man and from this
time on he will stand at the top Of
the ladder and proclaim in song and
story the advantages over all others
of Baxter Springs.
A dozen men of this character in
Baxter Springs can move the old home
town up several nOtches and create q
different atmosphere.
Don't hide your light under a half
bushel-let it shine that others may
see US.

Acid-Stomach Steals Strength and
Good Feelings From Millions

One of the worst features of acid
stomach is that very often it literally
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 wholesome
the food may be, or how much they
eat, they do not gain in strength.
This is clearly explained by the
properly digest food. Instead of
healthy, normal digestion, the excess
acid causes the food to sour and fer
ment. Then when this mass of sour.
fermented food, charged with excess
acid, passes into the intestines, it be-
comes the breeding place for all kinds
turn are absorbed into the blood and
in this way distributed throughout
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 literally starving in the
midst of plenty. Their acid-stomachs
make it absolutely impossible for
them to get the full measure OF nour-
doesn't take long for this poor nour-
ishment to show its i'll effects in
weakened, emaciated body.
You may say: My stomach doesn't
hurt me. That may be true because
many victims of aeid-stomach do not
actually suffer stomach pains. Then
again, there are millions who do suffer
all kinds Of aches and pains-head-
aches, rheumatic twinges, govt, lum-
bago, pains around the heart and in
the chest-who never dream that an

acid-stomach is the real cause of the
trouble.
Naturally, the sensible thing to do
IS to strike right at the very cause of
this trouble and clean the excess acid
out of the stomach. There is a quick,
easy way to do this. A wonderful
new remedy quickly removes the
excess acid without the slightest dis
comfort. 1t is EATONIC. Made in
the form of tablets-they are good
to eat-just like bit of candy. Thew
literally absorb the injurious excess
acid and carry it away through the
lntestines. They also drive the bloat
out of the body-in fact you can fairly
feelit work. Make test of EATONIC
IN your own case today. Get a big
box of EATONICf from your druggist.
See for yourself how surely it brings
quick relief in those painful attacks
ofindigestion, bitter heartburn, belch-
ing, disgusting food repeating, that
awful bloated, lumpy feeling after
eating and other stomach miseries.
Danish all your stomach troubles so
completely that you forget you have
a stomach. Then you can eat what
you like and digest your food in COM
fort without fear of distressing
after effects.
1fEATONIC does not relieve you, it
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
IF 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 n fair trial this very day
and see how much better YOU will feel

DEPEW MIXED IN HIS FACTS
Venerable New York Statesman a Little Ahead of Time ir Use
 of Term "Hiehbrow."

Who were "the highbrows of forty years ago." of whom Chauncey M. Depew spoke in giving his recollec- tions of Theodore Roosevelt at the Methodist preachers conference?
 The venerable ex-senator. relating the circumstances of MT. Roosevelt's political debut in 1880, quoted "a Re publican district leader" as suggesting to him the nomination of the young Harvard graduate for assemblyman to placate the element in his district which the boys call high brow hv- ing along Fifth avenue"
 Was there "any sich animal at that time? It was four years before the appearance of the mugwump, who. though a highbrow according to his lights, was not the simon-pure article. His was not "a superior attitude toward the generality of mankind" !" but only toward certain political rep resentatives of 1t. The real highbrow was yet to come.
 Was VIII Irwin his tnventor7 Ex- cursions into the origins of words are always hazards, even In the case of contemporary coinage, but 1t appears to be sufficiently we'll authenticated that highbrow Is a more recent prod uct than MT. Depew would have us suppose.
 Indeed. highban got into the diction- aries before highbro ', which is not cited In the Century of 1911 or the Webster of 1910. though 1t appears In the New Standard of 1913.
 An octogenarian memory, though it Is a marvellous storehouse of events. may at times deceive its possessor. What the district leader probably said was "silk stockings"
 MT. Depew has apparently merely confused the period at which the grow ing indulgence of the proletariat In silk stockings caused the term to be superseded by "highbrows." ."- New York World.
