Nervousness and
Headaches Caused
by Acid-Ston1ach

There is q much closer connection
between the stomach and brain than
most people imagine. It is because of
this close connection that indigestion,
belching, sour, gassy stomach and
are sure signs of acid stomach-are SO
often followed by severe attacks of
binding, splitting headaches.
Nervousness, sleeplessness, irritable
ity, mentaldepression, melancholia and
many other disorders which affect the
brain can also nearly always be traced
to the same -acid-stomach.
So often you hear people say II am
60 nervous I think I'll fly to pieces"
or "Itseems l never get good nights
sleep any more, my nerves are all on
edge" Little do they dream that acid
stomach is the direct cause of their
troubles because very often there are
no pains in the stomach at all. So you
see, you can't always judge an acid
stomach condition by the way your
stomach, itself, feels.
If you are weak, nervous, unfit
you are not up to your old time form
If you lack your accustomed enthu-
siasm, energy and pep-make this test
and see if it isn't acid-stomach that is
holding you back = robbing you of

GREER ON JOB

L. F. Greer, sage of Choccolocco val

will make an official inspection. Mr.
Greer, in 1910, supported Governor
O'Neal and was made a member of the
board. He gave good service. During
the Henderson regime he engaged eX-

Governor Kilby rewarded his efforts,
and thereby served the state, it is prob

Iron and Steel Review

Cleveland, O., March 20-The Iron
Trade Review today says:
While an expectant market awaits
the outcome of the price conference at
Washington, iron and steel buying con-
tinues along exceedingly restrained
lines. Buyers, with few exceptions.
throughout the past week have car
ried out their policy of declining to
make purchases at the prevailing quo
tations unless they were allowed salts
factory concessions. On several sides
these inducements have been forth
coming. The total turnover has ro-
manned exceedingly small Most pro-
ducers have preferred to await their
chances on closing business until after
the opportunity for a concerted and
orderly readjustment of prices had
been availed
The sharpest Illustration of any dis
counting on the part of producers OF
deep cuts in finished steel prices has
been shown in the Chicago district
Certain makers there have restored a
Chicago base price of $2.70 C in stesl
bars. This represents a concession of
Pittsburg freight of $5.40 per ton on
structural shapes, The price has been
81 below the Pittsburg freight differ
entail. A net reduction of $40 per
ton in plates and shading has beer
only s. per ton. On foreign billers
quotations $17 lower has been encoun-
tered. A better and more clearly de-
fined outlook for new tonnage to fol-
low substantial lowering of prices
is appearing.
Railroads in this are showing a
greater desire to release needs long
held back and the formulating of a
programme on the part of the railroad
administration for financing the re-
quirements of these systems is an ac.
companying development of favorable
character 1t is believed that If satisfy
ing prices will be put out large orders
for rails. cars and locomotives may be
expected
In various districts new structural
steel demands have been coming out

disrupted the electric light service to
such an extent that no illumination could

and the first general meeting of the or

STUDYING FUTURE
OF THE AIRPLANE
BY HOLLAND

New York, March 20-(Special)
Sometime in the late spring or early
summer an airship or airplane adapted
to commercial purposes will prob
ably undertake to carry commodities
from the Atlantic coast to San Fran
cisco or Los Angeles. 1t is necessary
to qualify direct assertion that an
across continent trip of this Kind will
be made, because not yet are all the
plans and details worked out But
there were many hints of this purpose
made at the recent aeronautical expo
sition. which was held for two weeks
in Madison Square garden, and also in
one of the regimental armories. Large
as the garden is its space area was not
sufficient for the exhibition of all the
aircraft apparatus SO that 1t was
found necessary to take one of the
largest armories in New York for the
overflow.
This exhibition was planned more
as an object lesson than for any i'm
mediate commercial purposes. 1t diff
fered in this respect from the fine dis
play of automobiles which recently
features the automobiles are similar.
To the amateur one automobile looks
as another of different make does. But
collected under the roof of Madison
Square garden and that of the armory
were every conceivable type of air
craft, some fishshape. some birdlike.
some resembling balloons. And it was
only Wy visible demonstration of this
kind that a fairly good idea could be
obtained not only of'the advance which
has been made in the construction Of
aircraft of all kinds but also of the
purpose to which these machines will
be put in the near future The expo
sltion was visited by business men, by
men who have much to do with i'm
portant financing, by engineers and
by others, all of whom spoke in terrns
of wonder of the revelation which was
made to them of what aircraft corr
struction now is and what are the uses
to which the apparatus will be put IN

Dentists warn Us against the bad
effects of acid mouth, pointing out

Thousands of people are using
EATONIC and the results obtained are
go remarkable as to be almost unbe-
Ievable. Yet their letters of gratitude,
many of which are received daily,
prove absolutely that EATONIC does
all and even more than we claim. The
medical profession, too, recognizes the
great value of this wonderful remedy.
A learned Michigan doctor wrote re-
Gently: 81 have had such wonderful
success with EATONIC that l want
every one to know how quickly it will
neutralize the acidity of the the stom-
ach (acid-stomach) and the stomach
will soon be sweet and normal again,
and the sick man well and happy
once more.
So be sure to get q big box of
EATCNIC from your druggist today.

kind of satisfaction you want, take It

WHAT ORvILLE WRIGHT SAYS

WdAl OhNILLE W hlGHl SA1S
Orville Wright. who is sometimes
called the pioneer birdman,. regards
with qualification the advances which
have been made in aircraft construc-
ton since he and his brother were at
last able to demonstrate that a ma
chine could be made which would
overcome gravity and which would
maintain itself in the air, carrying at
the same time one or two persons Mr..
Wright communicated to the aircraft
exposition his views upon some Of
the most essential and fundamental re-
quisites for the advancement of civil
ian flying. He regards the most Int
portant of these as a development OF
aeroplanes of such design as to permit
of landing in any field which may be
encountered in cross-country flight.
This, however, entails, Mr. Wright
says, good deal of expense. for In
addition to the preparation of surface
for reasonably flat ground the cost
of the upkeep would be large and con-
tinuous. Mr.. Wright in his commu-
nication to the exposition speaks OF
flights that have been made recently
from his home in Dayton, Ohio ~
Washington and also from Dayton to
New York. Between the moment of
leaving Dayton to that of landing at
Washington only three hours elapsed.
Four hours and 10 minutes were need
ed to make the trip from Dayton to
New York. No railroad train operated
at highest possible speed has ever COW
cred such a distance in SO short a
time. Mr.. Wright Furthermore says
that the aeroplane today from the ac-
tual flying standpoint is sufficiently
safe. The great problem before aero
sautical engineers is that of landing.
That problem will be solved,
