FACTORY BOOMING

A visit to the plant of the Gillett
Motor Products Company, the first
of the week, showed it to be very
busy institution. Probably forty men
were at work and the new automatic
machinery in operation was very in
teresting. 1t looked mighty good to
us to have such an institution here,
especially as we are told there is an
almost unlimited amount of work for
the factory to do. Very few villages
of the size of ours have so large and
prosperous factory as this.

SAYS Indigestion Results from
an Excess of Hydrochloric
Acid.

Undigested food delayed in the
stomach decays, or rather ferments the
same as food left in the open air, says
a noted authority. He also tells us that
Indigestion is caused by Hyper-acidity,
meaning, there is an excess of hydro
chloric acid in the stomach which prevents
complete digestion and starts food fer
mentation. Thus everything eaten sours
in the stomach much like garbage sourS
in can, forming acrid fluids and gases
which initiate the stomach like a toy
balloon. Then we feel heavy, lumpy
misery in the chest, we belch UP gas,
we eructate sour food or have heart
burn. flatulence, water-brash or nausea.
He tells us to lay aside all digestive
aids and instead, get from any pharmacy
four ounces of Jad Salts and take a
tablespoonful in glass of water before
breakfast and drink while it is effer-
vescing and furthermore, to continue
this for week. While relief follows
the first dose, it is important to neutral
ize the acidity, remove the gas-making
mass. start the liver, stimulate the kid
neys and thus promote free flow OF
pure digestive juices.
Tad Salts is inexpensive and is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon juice,
combined with lithia and sodium phos-
phate. This harmless salts is used by
thousands of people for stomach trouble
with excellent results.
