One OF the worst features of acid
stomach is that very often it literally
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 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-Etomach cannot
properly digest food. Instead of
healthy. normal digestion, the excess
acid causes the food to soar ard fer
ment. Then when this mass Of sour.
fermented food, charged with excess
acid, passes into the intestines, it be
comes the breeding place for allknds
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 n0ur-
ishnent out of their food, And it
doesn't take long for this poor nour-
ishment to show its i'll effects in 4
weakened, emaciated body
Ioumay say: My stomach doesn .

many victims of acid-stolnach do not
actually suffer stomach pains. Then
again, there are millions who do suffer
all kinds Of aches and pains head

bago, pains around the heart and in

half finished, or of crude mater iaIs?"
 The Chairman of the Shipping Board in considering the adoption of a policy controlling the nations in voluntary investment of billions in shipping, has reached the concIu- sion that the ships of the govern ment-built fleet should be sold to and operated by American citizens under no restrictions other than the terms of the bill of sale and the fix alton of maximum freight rates.
 ''Mr. HurIey's plan, with perhsps a few minor exceptions. appeals to many shipping men of experience having at heart the upbuilding of an American merchant marine as plan dictated equally by business sense and equity and in the public interest. There remains to be de- termined the vital question whether these vessels can be operated profit ably under the American flag, Amer ica's future is on the sea, and it hears the call of genius and initia- tive. If aided by wise legislation not necessarily such as to bring re- Prisals but rather such as to render the enterprise competitive, our ships will again be seen commercfaIly- in ports that have forgotten them.''

AMERICAN MERCHANT MARINES IS
 IMPORTANT PROLEM SAYS FARRELL

Chicago, April 28.-The future de- veIopment of the American mer- chant marine Is at stake and no more important economic problem has ever presented itself at one time to the American people. James A. Farrell, president of the United States Steel corporation, today told the delegates to the National Foreign Trade Convention here.
 ''The ocean-going steel cargo ton mage now held by our government aggregates 555 vessels of 3,3G5,OOO deadweight tons and there are under contract 1886 vessels of 9,275,OOO tons,' said MT. Farrell. Should the present program be carried out to completion there will be under the American flag next year 16,732,OO deadweight tons of shipping of which perhaps 14,OOO,OOO tons can be cIassed as ocean-going.
 'In it's initial stages the problem Is one of international cooperation and stability of rates rather than of International competition. A world one of whose most pressing needs is ocean transportation, will have to start the process Of social, conner ciaI and industrial reconstruction with a merchant marine smaller by 5,OOO,00O tons of carrying capacity than that which it possessed at the outbreak of the war. It will thus be seen that the world is still short of ships especially those of general util- ity suitable for offshore trades and there will still be work for ship yards for vessels of this character until the world shortage Is made up.
 There is no escaping the fact that we start in the race with higher costs of operation. How much high CT cannot as yet be stated accurate ly but I think I may hazard the statement that if in other respects we are able to meet the competition of the world on equal terms, espe- ciaIly the types of ships built or to be built, comparable with those of our competitors, the relatively high wages of American officers. engtn- cers and sealnen sufficient in number to operate economically with safety will not prove to be a serious hand icap."
 MT. Farrell said It could be as sumed that American vessels should

De manned by competent crews and have American seamen enjoy the best possible conditions of life in service. But" he added, "It must be equally obvious that provisions of law which require American vessels to maintain larger crews than is the case with foreign vessels and to carry as the engine room crew 30 per cent more than the steamships Of any other nation necessarily sub Ject- American vessels to a very ser ious disadvantage"
 Concerning government ownership and operation of steamships, MT tarrel said: The temporary appear anee as military necessity of the government of the United States as ship builder and ship owner on a colossal scale does not render it any less a fact that the future of the American merchant marine must de- pend on the attractions which it of fers to the employment of private capital and the application of pri- Vate enterprise. Government own eG ships in foreign trade could only rt suit in discrganization of existing trade routes in which government slips might engage, while brinE.nE about complete paralysis of indiv- iduaI effort to obtain for private American ships 8, larger share of American 9ea-borne commerce. Thus IL tho event of government owner. ship and operation of merchant ves- sels becoming Q settled policy the problem of the future of American shipping would solve Itself by the extinction Of private endeayor."
 Discussing the proposal to use American government built ships for the benefit of the nation, MT. Tar reH said:
 Any policy which places at the disposal of any single oIass of pro ducers n fleet of government steam CTS is bound to be unsuccessful. How. for example, under the policy Indi- cated. could 1t be determined in whose interest the necessity for the development Of foreign trade was most pressing; what section of the country would It favor; and would 1t take account of the transportation of manufactures wholly finished

 The foregoing gives a practical in sight into the transportation meth ods of the immediate future. Motor truck transportation has come to stay. The problem now is to per feet and develop ir.
 Engineers who for years have been engaged in the building of better roads are now including in their eff forts the problem of better motor transportation. They realize that good roads are but a means to an end-efficient transportation, the getting of things from where they are to where they are needed in the best. quickest and most economical manner.
 Within a range of 50 to 100 miles the motor truck is today easily a, com petitor on better than even terms with the railroads. All that Is need ed to widen the limits of this zone is the building of smooth, hard sur faced highways of adequate strength. Government recognition has been taken of this fact, and a new gov crnmeut department is to be born out of the stress of the great war. Its purpose will ba to create a coun- try-wide system of roads that can be
 
 This has the double strategicaI value of a strictly military measure and of relieving railroads.

New and sounder types of roads than here tofore will have to be constructed having as the first consideration the greatly increased wear and tear of heavy trucks. Even the best of our existing highways are not Calculat- ed to withstand continuous traction Of heavy duty trucks
 The best engineering brains of the world thrashed out the problem of gcod construction behind the bat tie lines in Belgium, France and Italy. An approach to it's solution was made when the engineering division of the French army ''metaled'' the roads behind Verdun in such speedy fash ion that heavy tractors top heavy with men, munitions and supplies of all kinds, were enabled to pound over those roads day and night, thus giv- ing the Hun a blow that. led to his defeat. This lesson of Verdun has awakened highway engineers to the possibilities of auto truck transpor- tation in times of peace as well as war.
 The problem of transportation will be solved by good roads engineers and motor truck engineers working in CO., operation to achieve the desired end.
