One Of the worst features of acid
stomach is that very often it literally
starves it's 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 an acid-stomach cannot properly
digest food. Instead of healthy, nor
NAL digestion, the excess acid causes
the food to sour and ferment. Then
when this mass Of sour, fermented
food, charged with excess acid, passes
into the intestines, it becomes the
breeding place for all kinds of germs
and toxic poisons, which in turn are
absorbed into the blood and in this
way distributed throughout the entire
body. And that is exactly why it is
that so many thousands Of people eat
and eat and keep on eating and yet
are literally starving in the midst OF
plenty. Their acid-stomachs make it
absolutely impossible for them to get

long for this poor nourishment to show
it's i'll effects in a weakened, enact
ated Body.
You may 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

Tea, 5000 tons of it, reached Mem

The cargo arrived on the government

The tea was brought from China

BLACKFOOT MEN SHOWING
THE RIGHT SPIRIT

It was a good meeting held at
Blackfoot Tuesday evening when the
council was sitting to hear protests
against the paving if there were to
be any.
All those who had convictions
against the undertaking were there
. either in person or by signature, and
those who had been talked into sign
ing and who later decided they had
been misinformed, were there by
telephone calls, in which they asked
to have their part of the protest dis
regarded.
Men who had convictions that the
Improvement ought to have been
done sooner and that it would be a
mistake to delay it longer, were there
taking the floor against the protest
or cheering those who talked. Those
who spoke for the paving were sup
ported by liberal applause. Those
who spoke against it were chilled by
the silence following their remarks.
Their statements fell fiat when their
leader side-stepped their written pro-
test and offered a new set of reasons
which were promptly shown to have
been considered and taken care of.
Mr.. Montgomery showed a fine spirit
when he heard these points explained
and then remarked good-naturedly
that he could take care of his part
o fthe improvements and that the
water and sewer considerations were
really the things that had stiffened
the opposition rather than the first

Former Mayor Capps showed a
proper spirit when he took the floor
and declared that he was for i'm
provements land it was only a matter
of difference in viewpoints as to what
to do first, and that his sympathies
went out to the poor people who
owned property that was mortgaged
and who might lose their homes thru
the pavement tax. The statements
of John G.. Brown and j. H Andersen
showing how the pavements would
increase the market value and make
a demand for the property and en-
able them to save the property from
the mortgage, was such convincing
answer that even the DIRECTORS
smiled their approval and showed
themselves good sports in accepting
the judgment. of those arrayed
against their position.
Back Of it all, they realize that
there is happy opportunity just now
to join forces with the county while

calamities they feared, and not one of
them is expressing any regret that 1t
was laid. Some have had very pro-
nounced surprises in good fortune
arising from the presence of the
pavement, and some who merely
doubted the wisdom of the improve
ment are glad that somebody else
knew moreahan they did of how such
things work. out.
1t is to Be regretted that good
many of those who were talked into
signing the protest were misinformed
about how much it was likely to cost
them per lot. One lady who was
much troubled about it, had the fig
ures four and half times as high as
the price of the old pavement, and
nobody who is studying the matter
at close range finds any reason to
ieve that the council will pay four
times as much per yard for paving
now as they did three years ago. We
repeat, it is unfortunate that good
men become over-zealous in working
on such matter as the protest, and
they make statements carelessly till
they get to feeling justified in max
ing them seriously, since it appears
to get the desired signatures. They
also make statements that have no
bearing on the case, but. which secure
signatures and leave people misin-
formed and believing that gray is
black. But happily the protestants
are not the only ones possessing that
weakness land now that the council
have heard both sides and have said
in effect, ION with the dance" all
parties are joined in the decision to
support the enterprise and help make
a better town.
We repeat it, the Blackfoot men
show fine spirit.
The Cost of Paving
Of course nobody knows in ad-
vance of the bids, just what it will
cost for the paving, but for person
paying for one half of a sixty-foot
street the length of a lot, 1875 feet,
it is likely to cost less than $1,000,
probably about $500, and this will be
divided into ten yearly payments
drawing about 5 II or per cent, SO
the payments will be something like
500 a year for the half block and
the payments arranged a long time
in advance so people can plan to
meet them. Where the streets are
narrower, or where the center is
parked, the cost will be proportion
ately less. People living on the side
of the street, where the clouds of
dust drive into their houses, prob
ably pay out that much money now
in cleaning dust out of the house and
in cleaning rugs, carpets, draperies
and in general laundry expense due
to the dust. The additional
wear and scuffing on rugs, carpets
and curtains due to the action of the
dust and the cleaning, destroys them
so much sooner, that it is likely the
cleanliness of the paving will actu-
ally save it's cost to people SO located,
while those who do not receive so
much of the dust will probably find
that they easily save as much as the
charges on their share of the
bonds.
We predict that by the time the
bonds are partly paid off those who
are paying them will laugh at their
present fears, and will wish they had !
asked to have the alleys paved too.

Let Blackfoot Go Ahead
J. H. Andersen, attorney represent
ing property holders favorable to the
paving issue: If you don't start right
now and keep going, other towns up
the valley are going to run right

oldest town and the newer ones are

If you try to save money that
