BABIES AND CANARIES

A man-just an ordinary man-on'
II the Smiths and Joneses took hi!
baby to doctor This happened In
one of the middle western states, but
that doesn't matter. 1t could have
happened anywhere.
The doctor prescribed various
things, and the man departed with
his baby to druggist. One of the
things he had to buy was bottle OF
cod liver OIL There was war tax
on it, but he thought more of his
baby than the tax. He bought 1t.
Another Of the items was zinc
steara te-which only babies need
and this also was subject to 5ax.
Again parental affection triumphed
over parsimony. He bought it.
AS he WAS leaving the st re he re-
membered that he needed bird seed
for his canary. He asked for some
ami was gratified to learn that there
was no tax.
On his way home he reflected
philosophically- without rancor. Yet
he felt mystified. Babies" he
thought, "are penalized in the U S. A..
They are not encouraged to exist, 1t
is more practical to keep canary
than a baby.
Long ago in England marriage
license cost three shillings and SIX
pence, and dog tax ten shillings. 1t
cost mnre to be dog than married

But there was method In this. II

VAN SCHAACK APPOINTED.

c. Fl. VanSchaack has been appoint
ed County Highway Commissioner
and he was here last Friday in com
pany with Commissioners Beckwitt
and Keller to look over the proposition
here. Mr.. VanSchaack is said to
have had considerable experience in
road building in Iowa, and we believe
we will be Of great assistance in see
ing to it that Mellette county will get
some good roads for the money aud
labor expended on the highways in
this county in the future. There is
no question but there has 1een great
waste Of money in the past, in road
and bridge construction in this county
and we believe by putting an exper-
fenced road builder in charge of the
work, will have a tendency to greatly
eliminate this vase, and eventually
give this county good roads at reason
able cost. We think the County
Board did absolutely the right thing
in appointing Highway Commissio'
ner to have charge of this work. Now
if they will but go step farther and
make some provision for the dragging
of all graded roads in the county i'm.
mediatedly after each rain, they will
have taken big step forward in the
direction of really good roads.

Starving 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 it's 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 cat. they do not gain in strength. This is clearly explained by the fact that an acid-stomach cannot 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 ncid, passes into the intestines, it be- comes 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 30 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- ishment out of their food. And it doesn't take long for this poor nour- ishment to show its ill effects in a weakened. emaciated 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, gout, lum. bago, pains around the heart and 1T the chest-who never dream that ar

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 quick. easy way to do this. A wonderful new remedy quickly removes the excess acid without the slightest dis- comfort. It 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 intestines. They also drive the bloat out of the body-in fact you can fairly feelitwork. Make a testof EATONIC in your own case today. Get a big box of EATONIC 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 Seting and other stomach miseries. Banish 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 con- fort without fear of distressing after effects.
 If EATONIC does not relieve you, it will not cost you one penny. You can return it to your druggist and get your money back. Soif 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 fair trial this very day and see how much better you will feel.
