Acid -Stonlach Makes Millions

 What 9 lot of misery they causel How Acid-Stomach, with its day after-day sufferings, does take the ioy out of life! Not only that = Acid Stomach is always undermining one's health. Think of what acid does to the teeth--how the acid eats through the enamel, causing them to decay.

 You see ACID-STOMACH victims everywhere always ailing. They can't tell exactly what is the matter; all they say is, "I don feel well'-''I'm all in; tired, sickly." If they only knew it, nine times out of ten it is Acid-Stomach that is ailing them.

 GIVES OPINION ON
 SALE OF MEDICINE
(Continued from Page Five)


 used with the knowledge of the seller in that way; or if such liquors, etc, were sold under such circumstances as would charge a reasonably prudent man with knowledge that they were being pur- chased and used for beverage purposes.
 ''The evil aimed at by the law is the use of intoxicants or of any substitute therefor, or of any liquors, liquids or drinks containing alcohol for beverage purposes, rather than as an ingredient of medicines and articles for the toilet or for culinary purposes. and those liquors etc, which are not made or used for those purposes do not come within its prohibition.
 In the famous intoxicating liquor cases decided by the supreme court of Kansas in 1881 (25 Kan. 2d Ed. 52D, in which the opinion was written by Justice Brewer, afterward justice of the supreme court of the United States, and quoted with approval by our own supreme court in the Carle case above referred to, it was held as matter of law that the Kansas statute did not prohibit the sale of standard medicines and liquids used for toilet and culinary purposes, such as tincture of gentian. bay rum, cologne, essence of lemon, etc, but don't think our courts would go that far, since the test under our law is not whether the preparation will produce intoxication, as it was under the Kansas statute, but whether or not 1t be made or used for beverage purposes. No druggist or other dealer would be responsible if he. in good faith. sold some ordinary innocent me- dicinal, culinary or toilet preparation con- taiEing alcohol, and the purchaser after ward converted it into beverage Hum- phrev vs.H State, 7l So. 32), but if he sold the article under such circumstances as would charge a reasonably prudent man with knowledge that it was being pur- chased for use as beverage, he would be guilty of a violation of the law, it be- ing a question of fact in every case.

EXPLAINS REASONS

| As the reason for asking such wide au- thority to determine terms of the Victory Liberty. Loan, Secretary Glass explained in his letter to MT Kitchin that he could not determine this far in advance, par ticular1y because the country was in d state of commercial and industrial read justment. what the terms should be in April. Furthermore, it is necessary for Congress to act before adjournment March 1.
 "The Victory Liberty Loan could not be issued successfully, now that hostilities have ceased. within the limitations im- posed by existing, laws" said Mir Glass. He also declared that restoration of nor nal financial conditions in the United States would be facilitated by enactment of pending legislation permitting liquida- ton of claims arising under informal war contracts and enabling the food admin istration Ito protect the guaranties given by the United States"
 Mir Glass expressed hope that the op- eration of the laws of supply and demand regarding foodstuffs would soon cause reduction in the cost of living, and warned against artificial retardation of the process of falling prices and credit contractions.
 Buying will not begin and activity will not set in," he commented, "until the co immunity at large is satisfied that prices have reached bedrock.
 T am sanguine enough to believe that it is within the range of the possible that such may have been accomplished on the lines above in Heated before the expiration of two months from now that the whole situation will have been changed, and that we may look forward to the successful issue of the Victory Lib- erty Loan on terms which today would seem quite impossible"
 BUSINESS LOANS
 The proposed extension of powers of the war finance corporation would allow the corporation for one year after the declar- ation of peace to make advances to busi- ness firms or exporters in the United States up to the market value of the goods exported, or to banks which had made advances to those intGSests. The loans would run for not more than five years, and the aggregate would be limited to a billion dollars By this means the treasury hopes to stimulate foreign trade, which is now prevented because of the inability of foreign purchasers to pay cash. The advances made to a bank would be limited to the unpaid balance of loans previously made to the business interests. Ample security would be re- quired and in the rates would be deter mined by the corporation.
 Extension of loans to allies into peace times also would serve to stimulate for eign trade, the treasury believes.
 Through the sinking fund provision the treasury annually might buy outright, redeem before maturity or pay on ma turity, Liberty Bonds up to 2k per cent of the amount outstanding one year after the end of the war. This would establish real sinking fund. which the United States has never had for cancellation of It's public debt.

WILL SUPPORT BILL

Such men as Senator John Craft of Mo- bile have openly said they would sup port the measure in it's present form That doesn't mean. however, that they will vote against an amendment that will make it stronger, or one that is con- sidered to be an improvement of the present bill. Senator Craft spent the afternoon listening to the discussion ot men for and against the measure, but he says he will support the measure as a just one.
 One of the surprises of the discussion was the absence of delegation from Mobile. That city has developed into one of the strongest opponents of the compen- sation bill. judging from dozen or more telegrams received by Senator Craft from the manufacturers and business men.
 Birmingham was well represented at the joint hearing. Speakers for the meas ure in it's present form were w. L. Har- rison of the labor unions, John Altman and others. Forney Johnston was the chief speaker against the measure.
 The house of representatives will face a large calendar when it meets Tues day morning. One of the most important bills is that of Jones of Montgomery, which seeks to make changes in the present form of government of Montgom- cry. He would increase the salary of each commissioner, and would abolish the board of public safety, which controls the police and fire departments.
