Undgcsted food delayed in the

same as food left in the open air, says
a noted authority. He also tells US that
Indigestion is caused by IIyper-acidity,
meaning, there is an excess If hydro
choric acid in the stomach which prevents
complete digestion and starts food fer
mcntation Thus everything eaten sours
III the stomach much like garbage sours
in i can forming acrid fluids and gases
which initiate the stomach like . toy

misery IN the chest, We belch up gas,
We cructate sour food or have heart

He tells us 10 lay aside Ill digestive
aids and instead, get from any pharmacy
four ounces 81 Jad Salts and take Il
tablespoonful IN a glass Of water before

To Put In Another
Week Helping Boys

Major Stone Norman who has been
assisting returned soldiers in making
out their papers in order to secure the
$50 bonus allowed by the government
to all men who have seen service, will
put in another week at the work, and
not go to the oil fields this week as
he had intended. He has just re-
ceived information as the necessary
steps to be taken by those who served
in the navy as well as the army. Sec
rotary Daniels has issued statement
that those entitled to the gratuity are
Officers and enlisted men of the navy
and marine corps; naval reserves,
male and female; and persons in the
service Of the coast guard, coast and
geodetic survey and lighthouse ser
vice who performed active duty with
the navy during the war;"
Such persons, however, win not be
entitled to the gratuity II they have
already received one months pay on
discharge from the army under the
act of May IS, 1917, or II they are en-
titled to retired pay. Grautuities, it
was also pointed out, are not payable
to heirs or legal representatives.
Claims may be made by letter and
must be accompanied by a statement
of service and original certificate Of
discharge or orders to inactive duty.
IF the original discharge or order is
lost, duplicate must be submitted
together with a statement from the
officer making final settlement of ac-
count showing that no gratuity was
paid upon discharge.
