 And of course, you got your nice little teeth and jaw and ear and every thing mended up?'t I suggested, "and the bands played and the people ap- plauded and the Metallic Militaire was pinned on your manly bosom?"
 The nice young lieutenant smiled at my foolishness and then I asked him what those IA Germans were doing all the while he was getting back to earth.
 "Oh, they were doing some vrilles too," he laughed, lat least, they were trying to. but they are aviators particu larly as to organization and not as indi- viduals; they are too mechanical; they have very little temperament. The Rus sians don't have it at all and the Ger mans only to a slight degree. Ameri- cans being a bit of everything, have 1t to a great degree.

 There's Lieut..

 And the nice part of 1t all is, that matters not what happens in thesway of physical torture and discomfort none of the terrible experiences he had "Over There" seem to have destroyed his good looks, splendid spirit or the modest man ner of this courageous, brave, young sky warrior, but then what's a little thing like DelnS torn up, or having CoIuInHS written in the newspapers about you, to such a man as Lieut..

An acid-stomach cannot digest food properly. Instead, the food sours and ferments and, passing into the intes- tines, becomes breeding place for countless millions of deadly germs toxic poisons they are called. These poisons are absorbed into the system and cause untold misery. So, you see, it is just acid-stomach, nothing else that makes so many people weak, listless and unfit; saps their strength and energy; robs them of their vigor and vitality. Biliousness, bad liver, nervousness, blinding, splitting head aches, rheumatism, lumbago, sciatica these and many other still more serious ailments often are traced to the common source-an acid-stomach.
 Take EATONIC and get rid quickly of the pains of indigestion, heartburn, that horrible, lumpy, bloated feeling after eating; disgusting, belching, food-repeating; sour, gassy stomach. These stomach miseries are caused by what doctors call "Hyperacidity." It's just STOMACH.
