Starving in the
Midst Of Plenty
Acid-stomach Steals Strength and
Good Feelings From Millions

One Of the worst features Of acid
stomach is thatvery often it literally
starveS its victims in the midst of
plenty. And the strange thing
about it is that the people with acid
stomachs seldom know what their
trouble really is.
No matter how good or wholesome
the food mAy be, or how much they
eat, they Do not gain in strength.
This is clearly explained by the
fact that am acid-stomach cannot
properly digest food. Instead of
healthy, normal digestion, the excess
acid causes the fold to sour and fer
ment. Then wheHthis mass of sour,
fermented food, charged with exces$
acid, passes into the ntestines, it bt
zones the breeding phce for oil kinds
of germs and toxic pdisons, which lin
turn are absorbed into the blood ind
in this way distributed througb TOUT
the entire body. And thb is exb ctly
why it is that so many q thousand Of
people eat and eat and keep on 9 biting
and yet are literally starving in the
midst Of plenty. Their acid StS nachs
make it absolutely Impossible for
them to get the full measure of nour-
ishment out Of their food. And it
doesn't take long for this poor nour-
ishment to show its i'll effects ma
weakened, emaciated body.
Youmay say: ''My stomach doesn't
hurt me" That may be true because
many victims Of acid-stomach do not
actually suffer stomach pains. Then
again, there are millions who do suffer
all kinds of aches and pains-head-
aches, rheumatic twinges, govt, lum-
bago, pains around the heart and in
the chest-who never dream that an

OCTOBER

like October weather with it's
touch of early frost,
And the trees aglow with jewels
which some dead old king has
lost;
And l like the distant hill tops,
looming far away from town,
In their garb of gold and purple,
and that glorious autumn
brown.
l like the mist that rises with the
coming of the sun,
To betray some bit of beauty that
has just been newly born;
Oh, there's nothing that's too low
ly on the breast of Mother
Earth,
To receive a touch of color as
symbol of its worth.
| like October's manners, for it's
generous with all,
Every leaf is SplaShed with Splen-
dor ere the day that it must
fall;
And it passes from it's labor to its
everlasting rest,
Not as one that's worn and weary,
but as one that's at his best.
Oh, it never comes October but
the thought returns to me
That I'd like to end my toiling as
a leaf upon the tree;
| should like to flutter earthward
touched with scarlet and with
gold,
And pass onward, robed in splen-
dor, for the Master to behold
Edgar A. Guest.

Calls Advertising an Investment
Rather Than Expense.

Zone of the greatest mistakes
made by business men," ID. c.
Keller, president of the Dow
Drug Co., told the Cincinnati Ad-
vertising Club, 'is in investing too
little in newspaper advertising.
The Dow Drug Co. intends to in
vest so per cent more in 1919 for
advertising than it invested in
1913 for that purpose.
ut is a business mistake to re-
gard advertising as an expense.
1t is wise investment. Among
the most valuable assets of a
business or industrial concern is
that intangible something known
as good will which's is fostered
and cultured by advertising.
Many retail concerns which do
no advertising or advertising Of a
sparodic nature are blind to their
interest. They are missing tie
great increase and expansion
which would come to them through
systematic and persistent adver-
tising on a scale in comparison
with the possibilities of their
business"

Revivals at f. nj. Church

The Evangelist's pointed talks
at the Free Methodist church are
causing quite an interest. Some
folks are questioning as to where
he gets it all. Mr.. Helms declares
it is all found in the Bible.
Tuesday night the evangelist
said in his discourse that the
gentle age is Fastening to its
close, and is nearer to an end
than many suppose, quoting as
proof the words OF Christ found
in Matt. %: 80, "This generation
shall not pass till all these
things be fulfilled, declaring
that the generation here spoken
of means the generation living
when the things referred to in
the preceding verses are now in
process of fulfilling. The corober-
ate this prophesy, Mr.. Hines
gave the Interpretation of the
image recorded in Dan. 3, stating
that there has been WORLD
WAR at every change Of metal as
is proven by history. There was a
world war when the government
passed from Babylon to Medo-
Persia gold to silver another
when it passed to Greece (silver
to brass), and another when il
passed to Rome tbrass to iron)
There has been no world war
since Greece passed to Rome until
the world war" just closed. Hero
the metal makes another change
at the ankle joint from iron ia
iron mixed with miry clay, re.
sulting in a great change in the
worlds governments of today
There remains but a small part OF
the great image, according to his
tory-from the ankle to the toes
The evangelist affirms that we
are now living in the feet and toe
stage, and that since historians
agree as to events we may ex
lpect the winding up of the gen
title age for which the imag,
stands. A. Kelleys

Plans Are Coming Along Finely
and Much Interest Is
Manifested in Same

Our announcement in last
weeks paper regarding the or
ganization of a Fair and Race as
sociation has caused much talk in
our little city, and everyone
seems to be in favor Of the pro-
ject.
The plan has been discussed for
a long time by those who have
been instrumental in promoting
the idea, and already fifteen have
expressed their willingness to
take hold of the matter and push
it through to a finish.
But amovement of this kind re-
quires the cooperation of every
citizen, and we don't believe there
will be a knocker in sight.
Start talking the matter over
with your neighbors now, and re-
member any plan you can think of
that will help make a success of
the affair. It's really going to be
something big-falr and races
and everything that goes to make
good time for the crowd that
will surely attend.
There will be a meeting in the
Expositor office on Friday eve
ming at 1880 for the purpose Of
completing the organization and
electing officers and directors.
Let everyone who agreed to help
put the matter through be pres
ent on time.

Two Days of Real Sport Is
Promised to Lovers of

1t was decided on Saturday last
that Yale should have races this
fall, and the days picked on are
Tuesday and Wednesday of next
week, Oct. Z and g.
This is pleasing news to Yale
people in general, as it was ex-
pected that when Riverside Oriv-
ing Club sold its property soutn
of the city, the track wauld te
plowed up, and we would have no
more race meets. But arrange
ments have been made for these
two days, and it is expected that
Mr.. Ludington will keep same in
shape for future events of this
kind.
There will be three fast races
each day, and it is expected that
hot heats will be staged in each
event, as these will be the last
races of the season and the
horsemen are always as keen for
winning the last race as the first
one.
Following is the program that
has been mapped out by those in
pharUe.-
