by Acid-StoInach

acid. Brings instant relief from indi-
gestion, heartburn, sour belching food
repeating, bloat and gas and makes
the stomach cool, pure. sweet and
comfortable.
Dentists warn us against the bad
effects of acid mouth, pointing out
that the acid eats through the enamel
of the teeth, causing them to decay.
You can easily imagine then the
amount of damage excess acid will
cause to the delicate organization of
the stomach
Thousands of people are using
EATONIC and the results obtained are
so remarkable as to be almost unbe
lievable. Yet their letters of graft
tude, many of which are received
daily, prove absolutely that EATONIC
does all and even more than we claim.
The medical profession, too, recog-
nizes the great value of this wonder
full remedy. A learned Michigan doc
tor wrote recently: 81 have had such
wonderful success with EATONIC that
want every one to know how quick
ly 1t will neutralize the acidity of the
stomach (acid-stomach) and the stom-
ach will soon be sweet and normal
again, and the sick man well and
happy once more"
So be sure to get big box of
EAT0NIC from your druggist today.
If it fails in any way to give you the
kind of satisfaction you want, take II
back-he will refund your money. He
doesn't want one penny of your money
unless EATONIC helms Won.

REFUSED TO ACCEPT FAVOR

The British officer, whatever his pro-

of his men to have his wounds dressed.
Outside of one dressing station sat
a young colonel with bad wound.
One of the secretaries noticed him and
said, "You had better get into the
dressing station at once"
1T is not my turn. / will not go out
of turn"
Some four hours later, the secretary,
passing out food and drink, again no
ticed the colonel.
"Herel Why haven't you had your
wounds dressed?" he exclaimed.
81 am waiting for my turn"
"But It was your turn long ago."
"Are you sure?'
"Of course l am. Come, let me lelp
you"
Into the dressing room he staggered.
He had no idea that he had done a
heroic thing.

There is q much closer connection
between the stomach and brain than
most people imagine. 1t is because OF
this close connection that indigestion.
belching, sour, gassy stomach and
other stomach miseries-all of which
are sure signs of acid-stomach-are so
often followed by severe attacks Of
binding, splitting headaches.
Nervousness, sleeplessness, irritable
fly, mental depression, melancholia and
many other disorders which affect the
brain can also nearly always be traced
to the same ce-acid-stomach.
So often you hear people say II am
so nervous l think I'll fly to pieces" !;
or ut seems l never get good nights
sleep any more, my nerves are all on
edge" Little do they dream that acid
stomach is the direct cause Of their
troubles because very often there are
no pains in the stomach at all. SO you
see, you can't always judge an acid
stomach condition by the way your
stomach, itself, feels.
If you are weak, nervous, unfit
you are not up to your old time form
if you lack your accustomed enthu-
siasm, energy and pep-make this test
and see If 1t isn't acid-stomach that is
holding you back-robbing you of your
health. strength, and vigor. Get a
big box of EATONIC--the wonderful
modern medicine that so quickly puts
an acid stomach to rights. 1t is In
the form of pleasant tasting tablets
that you eat like a bit of candy.

SECRETARY BAKER IN PARIS
No Draft Men to Stay In Germany
Talks of Disposition of Govern
ment Property.

Paris, April 16.-Amerlcan troops
to the number of 275,000 are return
ing to the United States from Europe
during the present month, Newton ID.
Baker, secretary of war, said on his
arrival in Paris from Brest.
In May, he added, the number will
fall to 100000 because Of lack Of
transports, but in June the number
probably will rise to 100000, which
will be maintained as the monthly
rate until all of the 100000 men still
here are returned.
The secretary said that If any
agreement should be reached by which
American troops would participate in
the defense of the Rhine indefinitely,
undoubtedly the only soldiers used
would be those who volunteered for
such service.
Mr.. Baker said he was In France to
participate in the work of the Amer
lean liquidation committee. He e&
poets to go to Coblenz and the former
fighting front with General Pershing
and to return to the United States
within ten days.
The secretary of war declared that
no decision had yet been reached as
to what disposition would be made Of
docks and warehouses here.

Important to all Women
Readers Of this Paper

Thousands upon thousands Of women
have kidney or bladder trouble and never
suspect it.
Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in healthy con-
dition, they may cause the other organs
to become diseased.
You may suffer pain in the back, head
ache and loss of ambition.
Poor health makes you nervous irrita-
bic and may be respondent; it makes any
one so.
But hundreds of women claim that DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root, by restoring
health to the kidneys, proved to be just
the remedy needed to overcome such
conditions.
Many send for a sample bottle to see
what Swamp-Root, the great kidney,
liver and bladder medicine, will do for
them. BY enclosing ten cents TO DIR.
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton. N. Y, you
may receive sample size bottle by Parcel
Post. You can purchase medium and
large size bottles at all drug stores.-Adv.

This liberal offer is equivalent to a

pert in all branches of aviation, and If
qualified noncommissioned or even a
commissioned officer. In addition to
regular pay, clothing, quarters and ra-
tons, extra pay begins with instruc-
