Nervousness and

bV Acid Stomach

There is a much closer connection
between the stomach and brain than
most people imagine. 1t is because of
this close connection that indigestion,
belching, sour, gassy stomach and
other stomach miSerieS-all of which
are sure signs of aeid-Stomach--are SO
often followed by severe attacks of
binding, splitting headaches.
Nervousness, steeplesSneSs. irritable
ity, mental depression, melancholia and
many other disorders which affect the
brain can also nearly always be traced
to the same source acid-stOmach.
So often you hear people say Il am
so nervous I think I'll fly to pieces" {;
or "It seems / never get good nights
sleep any more, my nerves are all on
edge" Little do they dream that acid
stomach is the. direct cause of their
troubles because very often there are
no pains in the stomach at all. So you
see. you can't always judge an acid
stomach condition by the way your
stomach, itself, feels.
If you are weak, nervous, unfit
you are not up to your old time form

SAVINGS or $500 PER MILE TO
THE STATE AND COUNTIES
THROUGH LOWER RATES.
REDUCTION 10 CENTS A TON
Copy Of State Highway Act is Mailed
+, to Boards Of Commissioners Of
Every County in State.

Saving of about 5000 a mile on fed
'ral aid roads will be made under the
ne wruling of the director general of
railroads, lowering the rates on con-
struction materials, State Highway
Engineer w. S. Falls stated.
The greatest saving will be made on
the hauling of rock, but there will also
be savings on shipments of cement
and sand, said Mr.. Falls The new
order reduces all rates of over 40
cents ton ten cents each, without
regard to the length of the haul
When the tariff is below 40 cents the
original rate applies.
Since the government would normal
ly pay the freight on materials for
federal aid roads, the theory is that
the government makes the saving. A
request for the reduction was made
some time ago by the North Carolina
Good Roads Association.
Copies Of the State Highway law
were mailed to each of the boards of
county commissioners in the State.
The pamphlet contains three acts, one
regarding the creation of the highway
commission, one on maintenance by
counties, and the third on the subject
Of State aid in road building.
The maintenance law is especially
important from the highway commits
sion point of view, because it makes
1T mandatory that the counties issuing
road bonds tax themselves for the, up
keep of roads SO built. The county
commissioners are warned not to fail
to put this tax in their budgets for
the coming year.
