One Of the worst features OF acid
stomach is that very often 1t literally
starves its victims in the midst OF
plenty. And the strange thing about
it is that the people with acid-stom-
a chs seldom known what their trouble
really is.
No matter how good or wholesome
the food may he. or how much they
eat, they do not gain ia strength
This is clearly explained by the fact
that an acid-stomach cannot properly
digest food Instead Of healthy. nor
NAL digestion. the excess acid causes
the food to sour and fermenL Then
when this mass OF sour, feTmented
food, charged with excess acid, passes
into the intestines, il becomes &c
breeding place for all kinds Of germs
and toxic poisons. which In turn are
absorbed into the blood and in this
way distributed throughout the entire
body. And that is exactly why II Is
that so many thousands of people eat
and eat and keep on eating and yet
are literally starving in the midst OF
plenty. Their acid-stomachs make II
absolutely impossible for them to get
the full measure Of uouTishment out
OF their food. And it doesn't take
long for this poor nOurishment TO
show its in effects ia a weakened.

CALVERT STREET
BRIDGE FAULTY
Removal of Street Cal
Tracks is Once More
Emphasized.

Urgent need for the replacement Of
the Calvert street bridge across Rock
Creek with a concrete structure or
its abandonment as vehicle for
street railway traffic was emphasized
yesterday, when il became known that
five planks gave way under the
wheels of a fire engine responding
to an alarm Wednesday night.
Although the breaking of the planks
did not result in any serious accident,
it was stated yesterday that the
wheels of an automobile which came
along a moment later went down in
the rut caused by the break in the
flooring.
Engineer Commissioner Kutz, has
advocated the plan OF abandoning the
bridge as far as street car traffic is
concerned. requiring the Capital Trac-
tion Company to. run it's Chevy Chase
line over the new Connecticut avenue
bridge.
Other members of the Board of
Commissioners from time to time,
recommended that it be replaced with
concrete structure, but Congress
has not seen fit to provide the neces-
sary funds in the District appropria-
tion bill.
