One of the worst features of acid
stomach is that very often 1t literally
starves its victims In the midst Of
plenty. And the strange thing about
1t is that the people with acid-stomachs
seldom know what their trouble
really is.
No matter how good or wholesome
the food may be. or how much they
eat, they do not gain in strength.
This is clearly explained by the fact
that an acid-stomach cannot properly
digest food. Instead of healthy. nor
NAL 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, it becomes the
breeding place for all kinds of germs
and toxic poisons, which in turn are
absorbed into the blood and in this
way distributed throughout the entire
body. And that is exactly why it is
that so many thousands of people eat
and eat and keep on eating and yet
are literally starving in the midst OF
plenty. Their acid-stomachs make it
absolutely impossible for them to get
the full measure of nourishment out
OF their food. And 1t doesn't take
long for this poor nourishment to show
its III effects in a weakened. enact
ated 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-head-
aches, rheumatic twinges, govt, lum-
bago. pains around the heart and in
the chest-whc never dream that an

Combed woods and angora yarns are
playing conspicuous parts in the spring
styles. They appear everywhere, the
conbad wool in accessories of suits
and coats as yestees, collars, cuffs, and
the yarns in embrOideries on dresses
and millinery and in other forms. As
nothing escapes the Industrious eyes of
the designers of waists the vogue for
wool embroidery soon brought grist to
their mills, for they appropriated the
idea and have used it on blouses, add
ing one more to the many interesting
vagaries that make the blouses of the
season attractive. One would not ex-
pect wool yarn to travel hand in hand
with georgette crepe, but it does, and
successfully, as is witnessed by the
blouse shown in the picture.
This model is Of dark plum-colored
crepe, ornamented with scattered
spirals Of beige-colored embroidery.
Its front is extended into litrle
apron rounded at the bottom. Fancy
stitching finishes the hens and out

silk like the pendant silk ornaments

Japan in the War.

Japan entered the war because of a
treaty with Great Britain, concluded
in 1902. The original alliance pre-,
ceded the Russo.Japanese war. IN
1905 the alliance was further extended
to provide for the defense of British
interests in India and Afghanistan
while England agreed to give Japan
a free hand in Korea. In 1911 it was
again modified by the agreement that
Great Britain should not be bound to
aid Japan against any power with
whom she had a treaty of arbitration
thus excluding the United States as
a possible enemy. The alliance has
been extended to 1921.

No wonder the French are fond of
beige. Time demonstrates that we
never grow tired Of this refined and
beautiful color, which ranks with
white in these two particulars. Be
sides this, it goes well with all other
.colors, as white does. The spring is
welcomed by many a pretty suit in
beige-colored wool and many rich and
handsome ones in beige-colored tri-
colette and other silk weaves. The
one-piece dresses reveal this color a
favorite with their designers, often in
combination with other colored fab
RIGS or frightened by rich embroid-
cries.
A suit of beige tricot shown in the
picture is fine example Of harmonic
ing color and design. Here there Is
the same "class" in the design as in
the cloth. It is made with a plain
skirt, and very neat machine stitching
is an important detail in its finishing.
The skirt is instep length and just
wide enough for comfortable walking
The neat effect of machine stitching
is emphasized by placing it on narrow
panels rounded at the ends, that are
applied around the coat. 1t appears
again on the front of the coat, where a
wide panel is cut to form pockets at
the sides, and again on the narrow belt
Of the tricot. The small, round buttons
are covered with the CLOTH.

It is EATONIC. Made in the form
Of tablets-they are good to eat-just

carry it away through the intestines.
They also drive the bloat out of the

fear of distressing after effects.
If EATONIC does not relieve you,
It will not cost you one penny. You
can return 1t to your druggist and get
your money back. So If you have the
slightest question about your health
--if you feel you are not getting all
