THE PROUD COAL
~ MARY GRAHAN.BQNNER

to boast this winter"
II find it hard every winter not to
boast" said a second piece Of coal.
THAT Is So" said the first piece Of
coal, but 1t ls harder as the winters
go by. Now last winter l had the
hardest time Of all to keep from boast

"Why last winter, especlally2" asked

could do to get us. They were very
often short Of coal, and when we ar
rived anywhere we were very much

cestors talking about It,"
what are ancestorsW asked the
second piece of coal.
Ancestors" said the first piece Of
coal, 'are things that go before u.s."
II see" said the second piece of
coal, wed call horses ancestors be-

ancestors, which, by the way, they're
very apt to do, especially If they have

instead of having to live up to their
ancestors; they mean the people who
have gone before them, who are Of
their own family.
"For instance, little boys grand
father and his great grandfather and
his grandmother and his great grand
mother and those people of his family
who came before him-they are all his
ancestors"
"Well," said the second piece of coal,
1--WE haven't any coal grandfathers."
"That is true" said the first piece
Of coal, but 1 spoke of our ancestors
meaning the coal which was around
last winter. l am sorry if 1 mixed you
up at ALL"
"Tll forgive you," said the second
piece of coal. II am glad to know what
ancestors are. But l don't think they
are as nice as roaring fires. Now if
we had ancestors and could choose
them ourselves I'd pick out furnaces
and coal fires"
That's a good idea," said the first
piece of coal, but of course ancestors
are never chosen. We can't choose
those who go before us, and be-
sNles the furnaces and the coal fires
don't 60 before us. They go with US.
They wouldn't do for ancestors any
way"
Maybe not" said the second piece
of coal, but let us pretend they would
It's such a pleasant thought to be re-

That's So" said the first piece Of
coal. "As we can't have ready-made
ancestors, and as we can't have any
really at all, We might as well have
some make-believe ones. But 1 was
going to tell you what made it par
ticularly hard for me to keep from
boasting this year."
"Oh yes, tell me-"
"Wen, you know that we're always
appreciated aud liked in the winter.
We were scarce last year and we're
rather scarce too this year, so we're
loved better than ever. Last year there
were pictures drawn with coal as the
most important thing in the picture,
but oh, piece Of coal, have just heard
that there have been two poems writ

about in verse or verses, telling how
valuable and fine and how much need

Those painful attacks of indiges-

food-repeating; that puffy bloated,
lumpy feeling after eating, dys-
pepsia and stomach miseries - all
point to Just one awful American
disease-commonly known as ACID
STOMACH.
Fortunately there has been discov-
cred a wonderful modern remedy
called EATONIC-that brings instant
relief from all these stomach miseries
because it absorbs the hurtful excess
acid in the stomach and drives out the
bloat and gas. You won't know you
have a stomach, 80 free of pain you'll
feel. Besides, it saves you from more
serious ailments because it is scien-
tific fact that ACID-STOMACH FREE
