OUTSTRIP BRITAIN
British Premier Seeking to
Offset Trade Losses.

LONDON, Aug. 1s.-In a three hours
speech in the House OF Commons, in
which he dealt with Great Britain's do
nestle affairs generally, David Lloyd
George, the British Prime Minister. to-
day disclosed three important decisions
OF the Government. Two Of these had
been wisely discussed and the Govern
ment's purpose with regard TO them was
hnxiously awaited.
One OF the decisions was that the post
war plan OF ultra protection. under
which imports were limited to those
granted special licenses by the Board
OF Trade. would be abandoned Septem-
Der |, and the putting into effect OF
measures to prevent dumping"
The second decision was the rejection
OF the majority report of Justice San
key's coal commission, which provided
Tor the gradual naturalization of coal
nnnes, and in its stead launching a plan
Tor partial Cover tent control by which
The Government :, II buy out the own
srs OF coal lands who receive royalties

share In the control of the mines, or
sanize the mines into districts and es-
tablish fund for Improving the living
Conditions OF miners
Under the third decIson the Govern
ment will embody in a bill recommen'
dations for a joint Industrial council o.
employers and employees and forty
eight hour week and a living wage ap'
plying to almost all industries.
The Premier dealt at length with tbs
economic situation. The war. he said
had cost great Britain ,0oo.oo0,o O'
and an outstanding fact OF the presen
situation was an alarming adverse trad
balance OF $4,000. 100000. The nationa
debt. he pointed out. had grown from

Undigested food delayed in the stomach decays or rather. ferments the same as food leT- in the open air, says noted authority. He also tells us that Indigestion is caused by Hyper hydrochloric acid in the stomach which prevents complete digestion and starts food fermentation. Thus ev- erything eaten sOurs in the stomach much like garbage sours in a can, forming acrid fluids and gases which inflate the stomach like a toy balloon Then we feel a heavy lumpy misery in the chest, we belch up gas. we eruc- tGtc sour food or have I artburn, flat ulence, water-brash or nausea.
 He tells us to lay aside all digestive aids and instead, get from any phar- macy four ounces of Jad Salts and tako a. tablespoonful in a glass of WA ter before breakfast and drink while 1t is effervescing and furtherfore, to continue this for a week. While re- lief follows the first dose, it is import ant to neutralize the acidity. remove the gas-makinE mass. start the liver, simulate the kidneys and thus pro- mote a free flow of pure digestive juices.
