THOUSANDS OF AMER.
 ICANS TORTURED

The greatest evil that faces the people of America today and inflicts the agony of unspeakable torture upon countless thousands of men, women and children is something more terrible than steel bayc- nets or poison gas. It is Acid Stomach this great nation. The most terrible thing about Acid Stomach is that, at the start. it seems so trifling and unimportant that it is almost always neglected, yet it counts it's sualties-not by the thousands. but by the tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands.
 First the victim of Acid Stomach mo- tices a tendency to belch gas after eating. This small matter and nothing is done to correct it. Then heart flut- pressure of gas from the stomach upon the heart. After this follows a foul and of fensive breath of which the victim is ire quently unaware, next blotchy complex ion showing pimples, roughness and loath- some eruptions. The acid is constantly fer menting the undigested food in the stomach and gradually poisoning the entire system. The result is constipation that, in time, be- comes chronic; and bilousness that per- meates the whole being and brings with it the black despair of complete mental de- pression. with it's despondency. moodiness. crying spells and melancholy breeding over ach is truly living death under such ter rible pains that the tortures of savages seem nothing in comparison.

NAVY RECRUITING
Some Valuable Information to Young
Men Wha Want to Enlist in
the Navy

Chief Yeoman John Wilson, u. S.
N, in charge of the local navy re-
cruiting party wishes to inform the
local young men, who might be in
terested in the U. S. Navy, that they
can apply at any time to the local
postmaster for information and ex-
animation and enlistment. If they
are then rejected they will be given
transportation back home. If they
pass and are enlisted and wish few
days off before going to the training
station same can be had but trans
portation in this case will be at the
expense Of the man himself, but his
pay starts from the day he enlisted
and more than covers this cost of
transportation from Burlington to his
home and back. From there he is
furnished transportation and sleeping
car accommodations, and meals, en-
route to place sent for training.
Chief Yeoman Wilson also wishes
again to call attention of young men
to the fact that the scale of pay in
effect during the war is incorporated
in the naval appropriation bill now
before Congress and is to be made
permanent.
The navy recruiting party will
leave st. Johnsbury Tuesday for Rye

Brown.

ST. JOHN, N. F., Saturday-Cap-
tain John Alcock, pilot, and Lieute-
nant Arthur Brown, navigator, made
their getaway in the Vickers-V -Vimy
airplane today at 13 minutes aftel
o'clock, Greenwich time, on their
attempt to make a nonstop flight
across the Atlantic. Their decision
came as a surprise to many but was
induced by highly favorable reports
from the Meteorological Office, des-
cribed by officials there as being the
best since the service was started
three months ago. Conditions were
said to be absolutely ideal for an
eastward trip, with southwest winds
virtually the whole way across, the
advantage of which would be that
they would contribute another 20
miles an hour to the speed of the ma
chine itself on the entire cruise.
In the early morning the airmen
decided they would not attempt to get
away because the, southwest breeze
of yesterday, which prevented their
leaving then, had continued and was
even stronger. However, after study
ing the weather chart and returning
to the ground, they altered their
plans and decided to attempt the
flight, usin gonly the western section
of the field, which is somewhat high
er than the eastern section and sep
arated from the latter by a hilly
patch down which they proposed to
run and gain momentum in making
start against westerly winds.
