 When they christened Jeanne Marie, the legitimate daughter of Madeline and Francois Poisson, even the preacher winked one eye.

Is Acid-Stornach Sapping Your
 Strength?

Have you any idea of the great number of ailments that are directly traceable to Acid Stomach? Few people have. When they are bilious, have severe headache, or an attack of indigestion, rheumatism, lumbago or sciatica; or when they begin to feel run down and are nervous and mentally depressed; or have dizzy spells, vertigo and pains around the heart-little do they think it may have it's origin in an Acid Stomach
 You know how it is with acid mouth the acid which is created as a result of fermen- tation of particles of food lodged around the gums, literally eats through the enamel of the teeth and causes them to decay.
 How, then, can anyone expect to "feel right" when Acid Stomach is making digestion more and more difficult, causing food to sour and ferment in the intestinal tract, filing the system with poisons?
 And then there are thousands yes, millions -of people who, without having any well de- fined ailment, are always complaining. They can't say exactly what is the matter with them. All they can tell you Is that they "don't feel right are "all in, tired, sickly.'
 Is 1t any wonder that there are so many people who, while not downright sick, show plainly in face, figure and action that they are anything but well? They are Respondent, weak, hstless, unfit. Aches and pains in practically

 A wonderful remedy now makes it possible to get rid of Acid Stomach without the slightest discomfort. It is called EATONIC-a com pound in tablet form good to eat-like candy. EATONIC brings amazingly quick relief from gassy stomach and the pains of indigestion. It makes the stomach cool and comfortable keeps 1t sweet and strong. You can eat what you like and digest your food in comfort with out fear of distressing after effects. It puts you on the road to bounding, vigorous, vibrant health.
 Thousands upon thousands of people who have used it are enthusiastic in it's praise They say they never dreamed that anything could bring them such quick relief.
 Every druggist is authorized to guarantee that if EATONIC fails in any way he will re- fund your money.

he reached the center, he stepped into

HOW LAPLAND GOT ITS NAME
Danish chronioler of the Twelfth Cen.
fury First Used Term "Lappia,"
From Which It Is Derived.

The origin of the term "Lapp" is OBJ
scure, according to Through Lapland
with Skis and Reindeer" by Frank
Hedges Butler. The Swedish histori-
an, Johannes Magnus, writing in the
sixteenth century, called the land Lap
p!a, following Saxo examinations, the
twelfth century Danish chronicler.
Other writer's called it by the Latin
lied name Lapponia. In the seven
teenth century the region was known
in England as Lapland, in Sweden as
Lapmarkia, mark being swedish for
land; in Denmark and Norway as Lap
lEndia or Findmarkia.
Several ingenious etymologies have
been suggested, both in ancient and
modern times. Some derive the name
fSOm the Swedish Lapp. rags, from
their Lfhe LaDlanderSl coming into
