It's Acid-Stomach That
Makes Millions Sick
and Suffer

It is . scientific fact that Acid Stomach
robs blood of its vitality, resulting in fabby
flesh-weakness-pale cheeks-loss of energy,
in fact causes many of the ills Of suffering
humanity.
You know what acid-mouth does to the
teeth and gums-how the acid literally eats
through the hard enamel, causing the teeth to
ache and decay. Just imagine, then, what
havoc Acid Stomach must create throughout
the entire body.
Millions Of people are weak and unfit, suf-
fering al the time, in one way or another,
from Acid Stomach.
They don't seem dangerously sick Just
ailing. Going through life weak, listless, drag
ging one foot after another. They're nervous
and Irritable; lack power and punch frequently
have severe attacks of binding, splitting
headaches; subject to fits of melancholia and
mental depression. And nearly always their
stomachs are out Of order, even though many
experience no ualstonach pains digestion
poor-never getting anywhere near the full
strength from their food.
Acid-Stomach interferes with digestion It
causes the food to ferment This fermenta-
ton creates gas, sometimes causing painful

NEWPORT TOWN

| Word has come to us of an acct
dent to Charles Briggs, formerly of
this town now living with his family
in Burlington. MI. Briggs severed
an artery in his right hand,
Mrs. Eula Estey, who for the past
eight weeks has been caring for Mrs.
Charles Prouty in Newport City re-
turned to her home here last Sunday
afternoon.
Rev. Charles W Kelley was call
cd to Littleton, N H., last Sunday
night because of the serious illness
of his only brother, who was stricken
with pneumonia the previous We'd
nesday.
A fierce fire ragged here last FIJI
day morning which for time
threatened the entire village. The
building occupied by Elmer C. Niles
as a general store caught fire at
about o'clock shortly after he had
rebuilt wood fire in his stove. A
part of the force that had gathered
to fight the fire, both men and wom-
en-, worked untiringly, even when
driven out by the black smoke, to
save as much as possible of the
large stock. This was later trans
felled to the store Of |, B. Dick
inson. The chemical was tried and
found useless. When the old tub,
condemned by so many OF the towns
people to the rubbish heap of wasted
town money, was brought out and
long lines of hose attached, and soon
to the amazement of many and the
delight of few, the old tub respond
ed and a strong, steady stream of
water was directed on the flames and
after four hours completely subdued
them, thus saving large section OF
the village from total destruction.
For the first time in the history of
Newport Center after a serious fire
there were no smoldering embers to
watch for the water had effectually
done its work and cooled them. Even
some of the walls of the building
were left standing and the kerosene
tank in the cellar and a number of
cans of caned goods were damaged
only by smoke and water.
After the fire was eXtingulshed
those who were most severe before
in their condemnation of the old tub
were now loudest in their praise of
ii and fell upon the nccks of those
responsible for its purchase and wept
from sheer gratitude.
Both the tub and the chemical will
now be- stored in heated building in
The future and guarded against any
other coniGar2 CATION.
During TINS fire both men and
women worked like to%anS, handling
water, wcttinr down the roof of adj
joining buildings and caring for Mr..
Niles goods, carrying hot coffee to
the fire fighters, and working the
pumps which is no small boys job.
Many of the fire fighters were
drcnched to the skin by the spray and

L. p. A. Notes

The next Indiana Division T. P. A.
convention will be held in the City of
Indianapolis, Friday and Saturday,
May 2 and 8, 1919, in the convention
hall Of the Claypool Hotel. The state
board of directors have just reached
| this decision and are making the an
p. nouncement. 1t was thought for q
time, that on account of the unsettled
condition of the worlds affairs, it was
very doubtful II any convention would
be held. but instead a meeting Of the
state board of directors who would
handle all matters that might be
brought before them. However, con-
ditions are now gradually getting
back to normal and the usual state
convention program will be carried
out. 1t Is to be hoped that Post c
members will make an earnest en-
deavor to have their post fully repre-
scented at this years meeting, which,
as announced, will be held under the
direction of the officers of the Indian
from beginning to end.
Sorrow has entered the homes of
Brothers Frank M. Taylor, and VIM.
Kramer, and the sympathy of Post G
members goes out to them in their
bereavement. Mrs. Nancy Jane Tay-
lor, aged "a years, widow Of Samuel
Taylor, and mother of Frank M. Tay-
lor of the First National Bank, died
at the home of her daughter, Mrs.
Annie Moore, 229 North Nineteenth
street Monday afternoon last. Mrs.
Taylor had been a resident of Wayne
county all her life. Conrad Kramer,
70 years old, died last Sunday morn
ing at the family home at New Hope,
o., following a lingering illness. Mr..
Kramer was a native of Germany and
the only brother of VIM. Kramer, with
whom he came to this country in the
year 1859, coming over on sailing
vessel from Hamburg to New York
City, encountering man ystorms on
the way that took the ship largely out
of it's course, and being on the water
48 days. He and his brother William
organized the C. & w. Kramer Lum-
Der Company of this city, and of
which he was a member at his death.
Mr.. Bullerdick, chairman of our en-
tertainment committee-upon close
uestioning-informs us that from the
minute our honor guests step inside
the door at "a North Ninth street the
evening of March 8, next, until they
leave, not a dull moment will con-
front them. He will not divulge ex-
actly along what lines this Is to be
carried out, but knowing that he has a
free scope, and his ability In this d.
rection, we would urge you not to
miss 1t. He also advises us that he
has at last convinced Mr.. Morris as
to his duties Of the evening along the
Feed" line, and boys. knowing as we
do Bills" penchant for keeping the
Home Fires Burning" and what he
does when once aroused, do not let
any ordinary happening stand in the
way of your escorting wife or sweet
heart to this evening enjoyment.
We have been slyly Informed that
President Bartel and the board Of di-
rectors are seriously considering the
advisability of debarring from our
club rooms, for period, and possibly

and widower members do not each es-
cort some lady to our rooms the night
of March 8. We are also told that this
contemplated action on the part of
our president and board has reached
the ears Of these boys and they have
been worked up to a high state of I'M
rest. Never mind men, cool down,
and let US suggest that you apply to
Mr.. Leroy Browne, chairman of our
sick and relief committee, who, we
feel sure, can supply the needed
charms to lift you out of your dilemma
and place you again in good grace
with our president and directors.
