F ederal Employment

WITHOUT regard to the ACCESSIBILITY Of making it per
" msnent institution, which is another question, The
Herald IS inclined to the opinion that the federal employ
ment bureau at this time Is filling real place in the af
fairs Of the country and that until stable cond
ton IS established following the rehabilitation of
army this branch Of government endeavor should not
done away with.
The work that has been done in FL Paso in the past is
satisfactory; IN fact, It has filled During the
past year. the FL Paso branch found places for s817
and women Of the men, 453 unsked and $50 were
skilled men OF the women placed there 494.
The Herald would be inclined to say that the continu
alton Of this service permanent institution would be
mistake It would make II possible to build up great
political machine for the party power, If the
OF job placed much at the mercy the federal
employment agent but present the argument advanced
that t is time to 90 slow IN dsconnung those forms Of
national service which tend keep down bolshevism BY
assisting during the transition from to peace conditions
to soldiers and sailors who have borne the brunt of the

Acid-Stomach Steals Strength and
Good Feelings From Millions

acid-stomach is the real cause of the
trouble,
Naturally, the sensible thing to do
IS to strike right at the very cause of
this trouble and clean the excess acid
out of the stomach. There is a quicli
easy way TO do this. A wonderful
new remedy quickly removes the
excess acid without the slightest di--
comfort. 1t is EAT0NIC. Made in
the form of tablets-they are good
to eat-just like bit of candy. They
literally absorb the injurious excess
acid and carry it away through the
intestines. They also drive the bloat
out of the body-in fact you can fairly
feelitwork. Make testof EATONJG
IN your own case today. Get q big
box Of EATONIC from your druggist.
See for yourself how surely il brings
quick relief in those painful attacks
ofindigestion, bitter heartburn. belch-
ing, disgusting food repeating, that
awful bloated, lumpy feeling after
eating and other stomach miseries.
Banlsh all your stomach troubles so
completely that you forget you have
q stomach. Then you can eat what
you like and digest your food in COM
Tort without fear of distressing
after effects.
If tEATONlC does not relieve you. it
will not cost you one penny. You can
return IL to your druggist and get
your money back. So if you have the
slightest question about your health
III You feel you are rot getting all
the strength out Of your food-if YOU
are not feeling tip-top, ready for your
work, full of vim and vigor-do give
EATONlC a fair trial this very day
and see how much better YOU will feel.

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
cat, they do not gain in strength.
This is clearly explained by the
fact that an acid-stomach cannot
properly digest food. Instead of
healthy, normal digestion, the excess
acid causes the food to sour and fer
ment. Then when this mass of sour.
1ermented food, charged with excess
acid, passes into the intestines. il be-
comes the breeding place for ali 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 1t is that 30 many thousands OF
people cat 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 nour-
ishment out Of their food. And it
doesn't take long for this poor nour-
ishment to show it's i'll effects in I
weakened, cmaciated body.
Youmay say: MY stomach doesn't
hurt me. D." That may be true because
many victims of acid-stomach do not
actually suffer stomach pains. Then
again, there are millions who osuffer
all kinds of aches and pains-head-
aches, rheumatic twinge8, gout, lum-
bago, pains around the heart and in
the chest-who never dream that an
