troubles mainly have been from her

there would be weeks on a stretch

She had headaches that almost

One OF the worst features Of acid
stomach is that very often it liter
ally 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 how
wholesome the food may be, or how
much they eat. they do not gain IN
strength. T. Is is clearly explained
BY the fact that an acid-stomach
cannot properly digest food. In
stead Of healthy, normal 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, il becomes the
{ breeding place for all kinds OF
Ngerms and toxic poisons, which IN
turn are absorbed into the blood
end in this way distributed through
out the entire body. And that is
exactly why il is that so many
thousands o. people eat and eat
and keep on eating and yet are lit
erall}y starving in the midst OF
plenty. Their aGd-stomachs make
It absolutely impossible for them to
get the lfull measure Of nourish-
ment ott, Of their N-tood-> And (
doesn't take long for this poor
no1rishuent to show its i'll effects
In a weakened, emaciated 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-headaches.

Closed Bre,Ueries Add
To St. LOuis's Troubles

ST. LOUIS, Jan. T. - Labor leaders,
employment agencies and the bureau
for the replacement of soldiers and
sailors look with optimism on the
future Of the labor situation in St.
Louis and the absorption in industry
of thousands of soldiers and sailors.
Within the past month virtually all
war industries have readjusted them
selves, in part or whole, to peace time
industry, with but little disturbance in
the employment Of men, NJ. Z. Single
ton, chief of the st. Louis ordnance
section of the War Department, said
tonight.
Singleton said the st. Louis labor
situation is complicated by the closing
of the breweries and the ban on the
manufacture Of soft drinks. A total Of
$500 brewery workers are idle.
David Kreyling, secretary of the Cen
trail Trades and Labor Union, and
Charles j. Lammert, president of the
Building Trades Council, placed the
number of unemployed men in ST. Louis
now at 10000, including brewery
workers.
Mayor Kiel, as means to aid return
ing soldiers, has proposed a special
election in May, to levy $22,000,000
bond issue for public improvement and
put every soldier on city work who
desires it. There is every indication
that this bond issue will carry.
