Acid Stomach Steals Strength and
 Good Feelings From Millions

acid-st0mach is the real cause of the trouble.
 , Naturally, the sensible thing to do is to strike right at tine very cause of this trouble and clean the excess acid out of the stomach. There is a quick, easy way to do this.s A wonderful new remedy quickly removes the excess acid without the slightest discomfort. It is EATONIC. Made in the form of tablets-they are good to eat-just like a bit of candy. They literally absorb the injurious excess acid and carry it away through the intestines. They also drive the bloat out of the hody-in fact you can fairly feel it work. Make a fest of 'EATONIC in your own case today. Get big box of EATONIC from your druggist. See for yourself how surely it brings quick relief in those, painful attacks Of in digestion. bitter heartburn. belching, disgusting food repeating, that awful bloated, lulnpy feeling after eating and other stomach miserfeS. BaniSh all your stomach troubles so completely that you forget you have stomach. Then you can eat what you like and digest your food fn comfort without fear of distressing after effects
 If sEAT0NIC does not relieve you, 1t will not cost you one penny. You can return 1t to your druggist and get your money back. So if you have the slightest question. about your health
 -if you feel you are not getting all the strength out of your food-if you are not feeling tip-top, ready for your work. full of vim and yigor-flo give EATONIC a fair trial this very day and see how much better you will feel.

by executive order. Its function was so manufacture gas, to load it into shells. devise additional appliances for delivering it, and to provide defensive appliances for protection Of the troops against similar devices on the part of the enemy
 That this function was fulfilled is shown in the fact that on November II, the day the armistiee was signed. standard plants were in operation with a. production capacity greater than that of France, England and Italy combined, and we were turning out ten times more gas than Germany. We kept our allies supplied with toxic gases. and while very little exclusively American equipment got to France. every American soldier at the front was wearing q mask that was wholly American in make.
 While America, under fhe direction of General Sibert, produced ten tons of gas to Germany's one. the surface of production had hardly been touched when the armisticeE was signed, and had the war lasted until the spring of 1919 Germany would have been flooded with toxic gases such as the world never dreamed of before. Only five men in the world know what the composition of this gas is, yet it is said to be 70 times more power full than mustard gas. So great was the secrecy in its manufacture that the men at the plants were carried to and from their meals under guard and kept under constant surveillance.
 Built Up Big Army.
 Within less than six months, in ad- dition to the building and equippfng of the big manufacturing plants, the location of training camps, proving grounds, etc., General Sibert had built up an army of about 2,0OO officers and 10000 enlisted men, nearly every man in the organization being above the average in intelligence.
 William l.. Sibert was born near Gadsden, Ala. He was graduated from the university of that state and from West Point in 1884 He is a major general in the regular army. His sons in the service are as fol- lows:
 Franklin c. Sibert, lieutenant colo mel, divisional machine gun officer, A. F. F., France; graduated from West Point in 1912; William O. Sibert, ma jor, chemical warfare service, U. S. A.; divisional gas officer, Seventy seventh U. s. division, A. E. F., France University of Virginia gradu- ate, class of 1911; Harold W Sibert, major. corps of engineers, Washing ton, D. C.; Cornell graduate, class of 1915; Edwin L. Sibert, first lieutenant. field artillery, West Point, 1918; Mar. tin D. Sibert, corporal. A. E. F., Rus sia. - < rAss5e-z - .q

 RECORD SEASON

Washington.-A decided revival of building all over the country, but par ticularly in the middle West, is report ed by Henry T. Teague. field agent for the United States department of labor. who has just completed a six-weeks' tour from coast to coast.
 "There will be great deal Of public building during the next six months" !" says Teague. "The public Improve ments program for 1919, am con- vinced, will equal that of any five years in the country's history. and the road-building activities from the At 1Antic to the Pacific, once they are un- der way will be tremendous.
 '"The! scope of improvement work Is much larger in the West than in the East.
 There issmuch criticism in the West Of the government's failure to go ahead with it's own building operations, Tn many localities federal buildings, for which sites. plans and appropriations were made before the war. are held up because the original appropriation is not high enough to cover the increased cost of construction and additional money has not been granted.
 New Orleans, says Mir. Teague. shows more building activities than any city he visited. The city is spend ing $14.0O0. 900 on the municipal docks. employing more than 10000 men.

CRAWLED WITH LEG BROKEN
Crippled Youth Went Two Miles for Fear of Being Frozen
 to Death

Pueblo, Colo.-With death from freezing staring him in the face and suffering from a broken leg, Roland Deyore, sixteen years old, crawled two miles to a neighbours home to obtain assistance.
 The youth had been on an errand and was on horseback. The horse fell and crushed the boys leg. A foot of snow was on the ground and the wind was bitter cold.
 Knowing that he would freeze to death if he remained, the boy dragged himself along with his hands and arms and pushed himself with the leg that was not broken. Several times the pain overcame him and he sank exhausted into the snow, The skin on his hand was worn off and the flesh bleeding when at last he reached aid.
