ELAN NOT UP TO PAR.

For many seasons Roy ELAN, at pres
ent manager and shortstop OF the NASH
willie Volunteers, has been the kingpin of
all shortsmiths In the Southern league,
But the season OF 1919 which has just
been carefully consigned TO Its last rest
ing place found King Roy dethroned
from his pedestal as the king of sun
land shortstops.
The only Sane deduction that may be
arrived at Is that Roy's work has suf-
fered because OF the worries attendant
upon managing a ball club, To n who
has never played In the two roles Of
manager and active player, II IL diff
ficult TO understand why the play OF a
manager shouldn't be up TO the same
high standard as always, But the fact
remains that ever since ELAN assumed
charge of the Volunteers as manager,
his work as a shortstop has been steadily
declining until today there are two for
three shortfielders In the Sunland cir
cult who have 1t on the Volunteer
leader.

ACID IN STOMACH
SOURS The FOOD
Says Excess of Hydrochloric
Acid is Cause Of
Indigestion.

A well-known authority states that
stomach trouble and indigestion are
nearly always due to acidity-acid
stomach-and not, as most folks be-
lieve, from a lack Of digestive Juices.
He states that an, excess of hydro
chloric acid in the stomach retardS
digestion and starts food fermenta-

in a can, forming acid fluids and
gases which initiate the stomach like
toy balloon. We then get that

have heartburn, fiatulence, water
brash, Or nausea.
He tells us to lay aside all diges-
tive acids and instead, get from any
pharmacy four ounces of. Jad Salts
and take a tablespoonful in a glass
Of water before breakfast while 1t Is
e~ffervescing. and furthermore, to con-
tinue this for one week. While re-
lief follows the first dose. It Is impor-
tant to n~eutxalize the ,acidity, remove
the gas-makihg mass. start the liver,
stimulate a free flow OF pure diges-
tive Juices.
Jad salts is inexpensive and is
made from the acid OF grapes and
lemon Juice, combined with lithia and
sodium phosphate. This harmless
salts is used by thousands OF people
for stomach trouble with excellent
results.
