NEW TIME PLAN
ENDS THIS WEEK
Expert Tells How to Change
Clocks and Watches With
out Damage.

With the beginning of next week
clocks and watches will be changed
and the time schedule for the future
will be operated as of old before the
wartime daylight saving act became
a law. In this connection, Perry D.
Martin, of many years experience in
watch and clock repairing, has sounded
a note of warning to M~emphians in or
der that great damage may not be
wrought to the thousands of time
pieces.
No striking clock or watch or alarm
authority said. In the case of ordi-
nary watches or clocks that do not
strike or alarm the hands can be moved
backward or forward without damage.
In changing back to the old or sun
time, timepieces should be set back
ward exactly one hour. The best plan
is to do this upon retiring. In other
words, II you retire at IL o'clock on
SATURDAY. night, the 25th, set the clock
at 10 and forget about IL, II this is
done you will arise Sunday morning on
correct schedule,
In readiusting your watch--if it isn't
of the striking variety-simply turn
the hands back one hour, but for strik-
ing clocks and alarm clocks turn them
forward ii hours.
There are certain wires and cog in
the mechanism of striking and alarm
clocks that are easily injured when the
hands are turned backward. but no
harm will be done by turning them
forward II hours in order to reach the
proper time schedule.

STOMACH TROUBLES
ARE DUE TO AC|O|TY
Tells Safe, Certain, Speedy
Relief for Acid Indigestion.

So-called stomach trouble, such as in
digestion. gas, sourness. stomachache
ard inability to retain food are in prob
ably nine cases out of ten simply evi-
dence that excessive secretion of acid
is taking place in the stomach, causing
a formation Of gas and acid indiges-
ton.
Gas distends the stomach and causes
that full, oppressive, burning feeling
sometimes known as heartburn, while
the acid initiates and inflames the deli
cate lining of the stomach. The trouble
lies entirely in the excess development
or secretion of acid.
To stop and prevent the souring of
the food contents of the stomach and
to neutralize the acid, and make it
bland and harmless. two Bis-Mag Tab
lets, n good and effective corrector of
acid stomach, should be taken in a
quarter OF a glass of hot or cold water
| after eating or whenever gas, s~ourness
or acidity is felt, This sweetens the
, stomach and neutralizes the acidity in
a few moments and is a perfectly harm
less and inexpensive remedy to use.
An antacid, such as Bis Mag Tablets
| which can be obtained from Hammer
Ballard Drug company, Washburn-Lyle
Drug company or any druggist, enables
the stomach to do its work properly
without the aid of artificial digestents.
