RAILROAD STRIKE

It is stated by officials of the T. c. |. lcompany that the railroad strike will hale no effect on the operation of their mines, in this district as the company have ample storage room for their out ut. if the strike lasts for several weeks. About 10000 miners are employed at the various mines in the vicinity of Besse- mer, and the operation of the mines by the company have a decided effect on business conditions.
 Other companies are not as well situ- "a ted for storing ore and the continued 'railroad tie-up may have the effect of

TTALY's WAR RECORD

Our war debt of $16,00o, 000,0Oo is being met with fortitude and stoicism that be- littles the gigantic efforts of other coun- tries. Our last budget approximated $2,- GOO OO0,Oo0 so that the annual per capita tax for every man. woman and child in Italy approximated $45.
 Before the war Italy's foreign com merce amounted to more than s1o00,- OOo0O0. This was divided chiefly among the European powers, with Germany leading all the rest both in imports and exports The war left this market in a chaotic state.

STRIKE ATTEMPTS FAIL

.E'LOng years in the trenches, he Sdld, made the men of the allied armies re- turning to civil fife nervous and rest less. We see evidences of it all over the world. We have had sporadic cases of unrest in Italy, but none serious enough to warrant undue alarm. All at tempts at general strikes have proved to be great failures.
 '@rhe problem of the high cost of Hy- ing will be brought near solution when the industrial groups have accepted this need for output and as long as this feel ing permeates the mass of the Italian people fear of a revolution of Asiatic bol- shevism will be unfounded.
 tTo insure this great production we find ourselves handicapped by a shortae of material with which to recoup our industries and resume our normal opera tions. Be assured that when once the channels of trade begin to assume their ordinary functions and Italy receives the raw material and food necessary to keep her industrial processes in opera ton, there will be no need for coun- tenancing of violence within the country.
 My cherished ambition is that the wor1men's leaders should participate in the affairs of the government, preserving consistently to solve problems of increas- ed production and better living condi- tions. These would constitute bull wark against the violent intransigeants who have been inserting them in all parts nf tho world

FARMERS SUMMER
 SCHOOL CLOSES;
 PRIZES AWARDED
FOrty-Five Alabama Coun- ties and Eight Different States esRepresented-At-
 tendance Good

Auburn, August Special )-The closing day of the farmers summer school yesterday was devoted largely to awarding prizes and closing up the work. The attendance this year was nearly double that of last year There were $50 in attendance Forty-five counties of Alabama were represented and eight states. The interest in the work was an improvement over that of last year and the director of the summer school, C. A. Cary, says that he believes more good and effective work was done in the way of instruc- ton and demonstrations than in any previous year.
 This was the seventeenth summer school and every year has been up to standard, barring the year of 1918 when the war conditions seriously interferred with the attendance. The striking i'm provement of the live stock on exhibi- ton was very marked and there was a great improvement in the work done by the short course for women.
 The women were very much pleased with the work and went away with many new ideas to carry back to their respective counties. Miss Mary Femi near, state home demonstration agent, had charge of the womens work and did excellent work in handling the in struction and demonstration work for

GAS IN The STOMACH
IS DANGEROUS
Recommends Daily Use OF
Magnesia To Overcome
Trouble Caused By Fer
menting Fool And Acid
Indigestion.

Gas and wind in the stomach accom-
panied by that full, bloated feeling
after eating are almost certain evil
dence of the presence of excessive hy-
drochloric acid in the stomach, creating
SO called "acid indigestion. ~
Acid stomachs are dangerous because
too much acid irritates the delicate lin
ing of the stomach, often leading to
gastritis. accompanied by serious stom-
ach ulcers. Food ferments and sours,
creating the distressing gas which dis
tends the stomach and hampers the
normal functions of the vital internal
organs, often affecting the heart.
1t is the worst of folly to neglect
such serious condition or to treat
with ordinary digestive aids which
have no neutralizing effect on the
stomach acids. Instead get from any
druggist a few ounces of Bisurated
Magnesia and take a teaspoonful in a
quarter glass of water right after cat
ing. This will drive the gas, wind and
bloat right out of the body, sweeten
the stomach, neutralize the excess acid
and prevent its formation and there is
no sourness or pain. Bisurated Magne'
sia lin powder or tablet form--nevef
liquid or milky is harmless to the stom-
ach, inexpensive to take and the best
form of magnesia for stomach purpos
es. 1t is used by thousands of people
who enjoy their meals with no more
fear Of indigestion.

Grandmother kept her hair ibeauti-

Whenever her hair took on that dull,
faded or streaked appearance, this sim
pie mixture was applied with wonder
full effect By asking at any drug

Compound" you will get a large bot
tie fthis old time recipe, improved
by the addition of other Ingredients,
all ready to use, at very little cost.
This simple mixture can be depended
upon to restore natural color and beau
ty to the hair.
A well known downtown druggist
says everybody uses Wyeth Is Sage and
Sulphur Compound now because it
darkens so naturally and evenly that
nobody can tell it has been applied
it's so eas yto use, too. You simply
dampen comb or soft brush and draw
it through your hair, taking one strand
at time. By morning the gray hair
disappears; after another application
or two, it is restored to its natural
color and looks glossy, soft and beau.

SAYS ACID STOMACH
CAUSES INDIGESTION
Excess OF Hydrochloric Acid
Sours The Food And
Forms Gases.

Undigested food delayed in the stom-
ach decays, or rather, ferments the
same as food left in the open air, says
a noted authority. He also tells us
that indigestion is caused by Hyper
acidity, meaning, there is an excess of
hydrochloric acid in the stomach which
prevents complete digestion and starts
food fermentation. Thus everything
eaten sours in the stomach much like
garbage sours in can, forming acid
fluids and gases which initiate the
stomach like a toy balloon. Then we
feel a heavy, lumpy misery in the
chest, we belch up gas, we eructate
sour food or have heartburn, flatulence
water brash or nausea.
He tells us to lay aside all digestive
aids and instead, get from any pharma-
cy four ounces of Jad Salts and take
a tablespoonful in a glass OF water be-
fore breakfast and drink while tits
effcrveseing and furthermore to con
tinue this for week. While relief fol
lows the first dose, it is important to
neutrahze the acidity, remove the gas
making mass, start the liver, stimu-
late the kidneys and thus promote a
free flow of pure digestive juices.
Jad Salts is Inexpensive and is made
from the acid Of grapes and lemon
Juice, combined with lithia and So
dium phosphate. This harmless salts is
used by thousands of people for stom-
ach trouble with excellent results.
