DEMAND THAT is SUPREME
World Must Have Food, for Famine
and Disorder Have Always
Been Synonymous.

About 1850 Benjamin Franklin OBJ
served in Poor Richards Almanac thai
wherever there was famine there was
disorder, and wherever there was dis
order famine followed in its train.
This has been the keynote of the
present world situation. Graham Lusk
writes in the American Museum Jour
nal. Lack of hygiene and sanitation
does not cause disorder. Soldiers have
lived incrusted In the mud OF Flanders,
but have maintained their morale
when well nOurished. The Russian is
firmly convinced that the louise is nee
essary for health because this vermin
leaves his body only in the event of his
death. If cleanliness were as much
desired by the people as food. then the
streets OF our cities would be kept In
perfect order. and TO dirt would be
allowed to accumulate upon them. In
deed, Tolstoy teaches that the desire
for cleanliness is a cultivated extrava-
gance and not an instructive impulse.
The call for food is, however, insistent
and instructive and must be satisfied
or social discomfort arises.

Starving in the
Midst OF PLENTY
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 fact
that an acid-stomach cannot properly
digest food. Instead of healthy, nor
NAL 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 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 aeid-stomachs make it
absolutely impossible for them to get
the full measure of nourishment out
of their food. And 1t doesn't take
long for this poor nourishment TO show
its III effects In a weakened, enact
ated body.
You may say: my stomach doesn't
hurt me-" That may be true because
many victims of acid-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

Fullerton. Pa.-On a little farm

solve a most difficult problem. Her
first husband, Miles Roth, who had
been reported killed in action over
seas. is alive and has returned TO the

married when she believed herself to
be a widow, is in Camp Humphreys,

Roth was member of the National

responded to the call to the colors and
soon arrived in France. One day a
German shell exploded near the camp
kitchen. Roth was a cook. Three Of
his companions were killed and he
was seriously wounded. Roth was re-
moved to a hospital. His condition
was so critical that he could not write
home. After he had partly recovered,
Roth was invalided back to the United
States. When he arrived in Allen
town, Pa, his former home. he re-
ceived word that his wife had mar
ried in his absence. He returned to
a hospital.
It was one day last summer that
Mrs. Roth received word that her hos-
band had been killed. Then Smith
began to help her in her financial diff
culties. Later he asked Mrs. Roth
to be his wife. assuring her that he

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 discomfort.
1t 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 intestlnes.
They also drive the bloat out of the
body-in fact you can fairly feel it
work. Make test of EATONIC In
your own case today. Get big box
of EATONIC from your druggist. See
for yourself how surely it brings quick
relief in those painful attacks Of in
digestion. bitter heartburn, belching,
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 comfort without
fear of distressing after effects.
If EATONIC does not relieve you.
1t will not cost you one penny. You
can return 1t to your druggist and get
your money back. So II 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 a fair trial this very day
and see how much better Won will feel.
