to Furnish Records

All returning soldiers are urged
again to call at the Red Cross rooms

and on this record will be shown the
date of enlistment, the place where he

visited in France, and the personal
account of the battles engaged in, be-

in the Great War, where their child
ren and their children's children can
find a true history of their activi-
ties.
This record when completed, will

MRS. SLATON URGES MORE
RESPECT FOR NATIONS FLAG

ATLANTA, May 12.-The need for a
patriotic observance of all courtesies
due the flag of the United States in
peace as we'll as war times, was the
subject of talk by Mrs. John Mar

familiarize themselves with the regu-
lations governing the use of the flag,
and that they pay on all occasions the
strictest Difference to the national en-
blem.
Elimination of all torn and tattered
flags was suggested as one way OF
honoring the stars and stripes, though
Mrs. Slaton touched briefly on all
the flag courtesies. The address which
was delivered before a convention of
club women, was received with unus-
ual interest, and many women eX-
pressed the opinion that it will re-
suit in a more intelligent observance

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 10 decay.
You can easily i'm agine 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-
hevable. Yet their letters of gratitude,
many OF which are received daily,
prove absolutely that EATONlC does
all and even more than we claim. Tha
medical profession, too, recognizes the
great value of this wonderful remedy,
A learned Michigan doctor wrote re-
Gently: Il have had such wonderful
success with EATONIC that l want
every one to know how quickly it will
neutralize the acidity of the the ston1-
ach (acid-stomacn) ana the stomach
will soon be sweet and normal again,

There is a 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
ity ,mentaldepression, melancholiaa and
many other disorders which affect the
brain can also nearly always be traced
to the same source acid-stomach.
So often you hear people say 81 am
so nervous think I'll fly to pieces"
or "Itseems 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 it isn't acid-stomach that is
holding you back - robbing you of
your health, strength and vigor. Get
q big box of EATONIC--the wonder
full modern medicine that so quickly
puts an acid stomach to rights. It is
in the form of pleasant tasting tablets
that you eat like a bit of candy.
