Lucinda tried, in all her letters to the

Acid Stomach Holds Millions Sick and Sufferinq

Do you realize that you may have an acid-stomach?
 It is the very thing that causes in- digestion, heartburn, bloat, belching, stomach pains and all kinds of stom- ach miseries. So if you ever suffer from any of these painful and distress sing symptoms you may feel surethat you have an acid-stomach.
 On the other hand, there are millions of people who are victims of acid stomach without their knowing it. People who are tired, listless, run down and worn out always sickly and ailing. People who are thin blooded, pale, weak and emaciated. People who have frequent attacks of rheumatism, sciatica, lumbago. Thou sands upon thousands who suffer al- most daily from severe headaches, whose nerves are always on edge, irrit- able, mentally depressed, lie awake and toss about throughout the night, and take dark outlook on life. They may have no pains in the stomach at all-and yet, nine times out of ten it is just acid-stomach that is causing them all their troubles.
 Boiled down to few simple facts the condition is this: An acid-stomach

 Brindley of Morgan county paid a
 tribute to the newspaper men who had been in attendance at the session of the house. A resolution, expressing appreciation for the service of the newspaper men, was adopted unanl- mously. He said the newspaper men had reported the proceedings ac- curately."
 When Gus Torgerson of Birmingham. as a representative of the press, "in- vited himself" to make a speech, two newspaper men, afflicted with timidity, left the house side. MT.

cannot diggest food properly and the whole body suffers from lack of suf- fcient nourishment.
 It is dangerous to take any chances with acid stomach. So test your own case and find out for sure whether acid-stomach is the cause of your i'll health. Here is the surest and most simple test for you to make: Go to your druggist and get a big box of EATONIC-the pleasant tasting tab lets that you eat like bit of candy. If you have acid-stomach, EATONIC will clean out the excess acid and bring such wonderfully quick relief that you will think it almost too good to be true. It makes the stomach clean, sweet, cool and comfortable You can almost feel it work as it drives the gas and bloat out of your body. You will feel like your old time self again-get back your pep, enthusiasm and energy-be hearty, hungry, vigor- ous, keen, eager to be up and coming
 If you are not entirely pleased with your test of EATONIC, take it back to your druggist. Our orders are that he will refund your money. Your word is good enough for us, so make this test of EATONIC TODAY.

 ing dramatic about the last days ses- sion of the lawmaking body, the busi- ness of the morning session being eX-
 pedited so that bills could get to the desk of the governor before adjourn ment under a joint resolution of the senate and house.
 The afternoon in the two houses was spent in exchanging jokes, adopting resolutions thanking the clerks, pages, newspaper men and others who were connected with the short session of the legislature. Probably never before in the history of Alabama has there been such an amusing incident as that af- l forded by the pages in the two houses These pages who have worked diligent- | ly have become accustomed to parlia- mentary laws and durnig the afternoon | the speaker of the house and presiding officer of the senate turned over the i chairs to the pages, who introduced many freak resolutions and held the | floor with the dignity of learned law makers.
 PAGES PRESIDE
 1 Hinds Jones, page in the senate and son of MT. Jones of the state treasurer's s 1 office, presided in the senate for a short time, while in the house the chair was occupied by Page Frazier

 Miller, are given 20 days in which to 1 compile the bills, records and other proceedings of the legisla ture.
 Reading Clerk Alridge of Brming-
 ham was extended the thanks of the house for his diligent work during the session The resolution of thanks was lprepared by MT. Greene of Dallas county. 1 H. P Merritt speaker of the house, l was given the thanks of the house for his untiring efforts to please the rep l resentatives. This resolution also was prepared by the Dallas representative. MT. Merritt, in the brief speech, said he had been in the Alabama legislature for 1 four consecutive sessions, and that the | one just closing was the most harmoni- l ous and pleasing he had ever been 1 member of. When the vote was taken 1 on the Merritt resolution four newspa per men. who have been in the house 1 ever since the legislature met, arose | and voted for it.
