ACIDS In STOMACH
CAUSE INDIGESTION
Create Gas, Sourness and Pain
How to Treat

Medical authorities state that nearly
nine tenths of the cases of stomach
trouble, indigestion, sourness. burning,
gas, bloating. nausea, etc, are due to
an excess of hydrochloric acid in the
stomach and not as some believe to a
lack Of digestive juices. The delicate
stomach lining is irritated, digestion
is delayed aud food sours, causing the
disagreeable symptoms when every
stomach sufferer knows 50 well.
Artificial digestents are not needed
in such cases and many do real harm.
Try laying aside all digestive aids and
instead get from any druggist a few
ounces of Bisurated Magnesia and take
a teaspoonful in quarter glass of
water right after eating. This sweet
ems the stomach, prevents the forma.
tion of excess acid and there is no
sourness, gas or pain. Bisurated Mag
nesia (in powder or tablet form-ney.
er liquid or milky is harmless to the
stomach, inexpensive to take and is
the most efficient form of magnesia
for stomach purposes. 1t is used by
thousands Of people who cljoy their
meals with no more fear of indiges-

fornia crop Was cut down half, not only
in quality but in quantity by the unsea-
sonable rains. At the same time the
Oregon crop was larger thansver known
and the quality of the prune was finer
Hence many Americans as well as Eu-

While it is rather early to estimate
the crop in the Willamette valley, the
general reports indicate favorable con

crops in southern oregon where il is
practically out Of danger.
The same cannot be said of the crop
in the Willamette valley. In the low
lands the crop is mostly set, while the

There is vet danger from frost in the
Willamette valley, according to the
opinion Of several old time prune grow
ers.
The crop raised last year in the north
west, which includes Oregon and Clarke
county, Washington, was the largest
ever known in the history of prune
raising. In 1916 this crop in the north
west was 100000 pounds. In 1917 it
was 23,0O0,00O But last year the rec

prunes in this northwest territory up to
