PUT STOMACH IN
 FINE CONDITION
Says Indigestion Results From An Excess of Fly
 drochloric Acid

Undigested food delayed in the stomach decays, or rather, ferments the same as food left in the open air, says a noted authority. He also tells us that Indigestion is caused by Hyper acidity, meaning. there is an excess of hydrochloric acid in the stomach which prevents complete digestion and starts food fermentation. Thus ev erything eaten sours in the stomach much like garbage sours in can, forming acrid fluids and gases which inf1ate the stomach like a toy balloon. Then we feel heavy, lumpy misery in the chest, we belch up gas, we eruc- tate sour food or have heartburn, flat ulence, water-brash or nausea.
 He tells us to lay aside all digestive
 aids and instead, get from any phar. macy four ounces of lad Salts and
 take a. tablespoonful in a glass of wa
 ter before breakfast and drink while it is effervescing and furtherfore, to continue this for week. While re- lief follows the first dose. it is import ant to neutralize the acidity remove he gas-making mass. start the liver, simulate the kidneys and thus pro- note a free flow of pure digestive 'uices.
 lad Salts is inexpensive and is aade from the acid of grapes and emon juice, combined with lithia and | ,,dium phosphate. This harmless salts l used by thousand of people for l tomach trouble with excellent results ~-Ady

KEEPS UP FOOD CONTROL.

London, Jan. 17-George H. Rob- erts, the new British Food Controller. said yesterday that the continuance of food control in England would be governed by the needs of Europe as a whole, just as during the war
 "Rationing was more drastic and complete here than in any other Al lied country" he said. This was the direct outcome of ever-increasing calls upon British tonnage by the needs of the Allies for munitions, clothing, food, coal, and other materials. The Supreme Food Council is now going to do for the rest of Europe what the Inter-Allied Food Council and the inter-Allied executives for wheat, su- gar, meat, etc, did during the war for the Allies alone,
 Great Britain, of course. takes her share with the United States, France and Italy in the necessary financial arrangements. My duties are thus not limited to this country, and, just as England helped to save the Allies in the war. so she will take her part in helping to save Europe from star vation and chaos now that peace has come"

AFTER THE WAR INlPosTERs.

The warning is issued that i'm posters and dead beats may soon be expected to make their appearance, claiming that they served in the war and have had hard luck. Some of them will buy out a uniform from some soldier and trade on their ap- pearance as a veteran.
 These cases will be difficult to han dle. Our peoIle feel intensely grate- ful to the soldiers, and would go to the limit to relieve genuine distress This will create an opportunity for fraud, and some well meaning peopl- will be imposed upon. Foreseeiaf his situation, business mems associa- ions in some places are devisine plans to guard against fmposters.
 In cases of genuine ill fortune soldiers would better not go anon rangers seeking help. They shoul
 late their case in the places wher
 hey are known, or to charitable an
 asiness organizations in a positio
 investigate such matters. Deser .ng men who have had misfortune I'll find many helping hands.

NEW COURSE FOR
 HARVARD WOMEN
Students in Special Courses Are Preparing to Be In
 dustrial Physicians.

AS industrial physicians multiply, many women will find 8 wide field of usefulness. Among the students in the new course of industrial hygiene, which Harvard University offers this year, are a number of young women who are preparing themselves for ser vice in the big plants where more at tention than ever before will be given to health problems.
 The working conditions service, De- partment of Labor. is doing all possi- ble to arouse the interest of educators in the importance of preparation for a constantly widening work in fac t.ries. Yale University is now offer ing an intensive course and the Uni Versity of Pennsylvania will have one at its next semester These are lead ing a nationwide effort to make ready for the demand for industrial physicians wherever there are large factories.
 The industrial physicians, it must be understood, are really the successors of the. old contract physicians. In- stead of being concerned altogether with the workers who are i'll or in jured, they devote themselves to the conservation of health. Much of their work is educational as well as strictly professional, for, after they have eX- amined the worker to ascertain his exact physical condition and have
 prescribed for him, they are inter-
 ested in teaching him how to keep
 well.
 Their instruction goes further even
 and embraces lectures on the eco-
 homie value of health and the indus
 trial loss through illness. In factories Iwhere large numbers of girls are en- ployed the usefulness Of women who
 serve as industrial physicians is read
 fly understood.
 Diet, eXerise and recrea ion are pre-
 scribed by the industrial physician iW'ho seeks to avoid the need of medi-
 cine. Through it's executive ability and organizing uower he is able tc
 reach employees in many ways and
 to inspire them with due respect fol
 the human machine, a knowledge O.
 the operation of which will pay 1T money as well as happiness, for sta 5 tistics prove how great is the annua
 loss through illness or disability. The Department of Labor is no only encouraging the extension of ed
 ucational opportunities for the indus trial physician, but it is also doins much to develop the actual scope o . hS work in shop and factory In ad [ diton to the special training for phy sicians, there will be courses fo nurses who desire to devote them t selves to industrial work.
