Nervousness and
eadaChes Caused
by Acid Stomach

There Is a much closer connection
between the stomach and brain than
most people imagine. II Is because Of
this close connection that indigestion,
belching, sour, gassy stomach and
other stomach miseries-all Of which
are sure signs of acid-stomach-are so
often followed by severe attacks of
binding, splitting headaches.
Nervousness, sleeplessness, irritable
ity, mental depression. melancholia and
many other disorders which affect the
brain can also nearly always be traced
to the same source-acid-stomac
So often you hear people say 81 am
SO nervous think I'll fly to pieces" /;
or ut 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 ime form
If you lack your accustomed enthu-
siasm, energy and pep-make this test
and see If it isn't acid-stomach that is
holding you back-robblng you of your
health strength, and vigor. Get a
big box of EATONIC-the wonderful
modern medicine that so quickly puts
an acid stomach to rights. 1t Is in
the form of pleasant tasting tablets
that you eat like O bit of candy.

It's In the Atmosphere.

The scventh-grade pupils, having
just completed study of the eight
zenith century In American history,
were having a review. "And what"
asked the teacher, "did the American
colonists do in regard to the Articles
of Confederation"
There was company in the room
aud of course the teacher was very
anxious to call on the pupils who
knew. Back at the end Of one row
hand was waving frantically. "All
right, Nina, you may tell u.s."
And very thin, small voice replied !:
"Why, think they put tax on them"

purpose was further demonstrated In
recent tests at the forest service labor

The Appeal for Phone Relief.

City and state officers will find their act ap-
plauded if they take the Central Union Teie-
phone company resolutely by the neck and
shake some OF the obstinacy out of it.
The phone people seem to believe that there
is no way to reach them according to law; that
all they have TO do is to stand pat till things
blow over. OF course the local branch of their
business will not flourish for the time being,
but they feel that they afford to make up
the deficit, if there is any, out of other earn
ings. If they concede point here it will have
to be done elsewhere and the aggregate effect
upon income will be considerable. So they
are holding fast and saying as little as pos
sibIe.
Such an attitude might be tolerable to the
people in general under other circumstances,
but in this case it involves the public service
We have come to consider the telephone
necessity. Business and private affairs are ar
ranged on that basis. Such an interruption in
it's use as is now being experienced in this To-
cality is costing the community far more than
it is costing the company.
The state has a commission which is sup
posed to stand between public utilities corpo-
rations and the people. If service is not up
20 standard or charges are too high the patrons
have the privilege of appealing to it for relief.
It has certain remedies that may be applied.
Next Tuesday the state public utilities COM
mission is to give ear to the question of tele-
phone service in the quad cities. Public inter
est demands that the situation be fully and
truthfully presented. This is a new situation.
No one knows what may come of the appeal
for relief, but it is worth trying. At any rate
we shall test the good faith of the commission
from different angle. If it fails there re-
main the courts, which have been addressed
with some success at Galesburg.
The telephone company gets its right to do
business from the people and it should be an
swerabIe to them for its acts If no legal ma
chinery to make it exists it is time to be
finding it out.

Next Tuesday there will be special selee-
ton to pass upon bond issue for storm drains
and to settle. the question Of annexing territory
in South Rock Island. Voters should keep the
matter in mind and be prepared to pass intelli-
gently upon the issues.
There are two storm drains involved, and
both of them are necessary for the city's de-
velopment. One is to drain the southwest part
of the city via Sixteenth avenue. The other
is joint enterprise between Rock Island and
Moline to benefit the two cities equally in the
district near the boundary lines. 1t is esttmat-
ed that $4,000 will be needed to complete the
work. Benefit to property in the districts
named will be much more than that.
Annexation concerns all territory lying east
OF Twenty-hrst street and north Of Thirty-hrst
avenue and aims to correct an irregular boun-
dairy line and to bring city benefits in the way
Of schools, sewer water and street improve
ment to area which promises rapid future
growth. Rock Island never has turned down

Q. What is the basis of the con-
tention that imports must balance
exports? P. L. G.
A. Where one country exports
extensively to another and buys
drafts given in payment do not bal
ance and it becomes necessary to
ship gold or otherwise re-adjust ac-
counts. This is expensive and
makes it necessary to pay a pre-
MUM on exchange. This premium
is virtually an addition to prices
paid. When it becomes too high
purchases will be made in other
markets. Thus will trade be lost
unless it is balanced.
@. Who was the British ambas-
sador who got into trouble because
of his interest in American politics?
L. H. T.
A. Lord Sackville West. British
ambassador to the United States in
1888, received his passports from
President Cleveland because OF a
letter he had written to an Ameri-
can friend advising him how to
vote in a forthcoming election. His
action was held to be an interior

and am engaged to her. During all

have not kept company with other

lately my fiancee has had the same
attitude as I, but for the past tw7
months she has been having, on the
average, two dates a week with an
other fellow. I do not distrust her
and try not to be jealous, but Il
makes me feel badly to think
have become so uninteresting as to
no longer receive her whole atten-
ton.
Do you think she is treating me
fairly?
If you do, how can make her
understand without hurting her
feelings?

case do you think 1t too soon2

The girl is not treating you fair
ly. Tell her that unless she loves
you enough to give up the other
young man, you release her from
the engagement. She may accept
your offer of release, and II she
does, be thankful, because you
would never be happy in a lovele&s
marriage.
If she gives up the other young

Wrap the loaf or any unused

That is the best place to keep IL
