PUT STOMACH IN
FINE CONDITION
Says Indigestion Results From An
Excess of Hydrochloric
Acid.

Undigested food delayed in the ston-
aeh 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 hydro
chloric acid in the stomach which pre-
vents complete digestion and starts
food fermentation. Thus everything
eaten sours in the stomach much like
garbage sours in a can, forming acrid
fluids and gases which initiate the stom-
ach like toy balloon. Then we feel a
heavy, lumpy misery in the chest. we
belch up gas, we eruetatc sour food or
have heartburn, hatuicncc. water. hrash
or nausea.
He tells us TO lay aside AL. digestive
aids and instead, get from any phar-
macy four ounces of Jad Salts and take
tablespoonful in glass of water be-
| fore breakfast and drink while it is
effervescing and Furthermore, to con-
tinue this for week While relief fol-
neutralize the acidity, remove the gas
making mass, start the liver, stimulate
the kidneys and thus promote free
| flow of pure digestive Juices.
,Iad 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-Ady.

CUT YOUR SHOE BILLS
WITH NEOL|N SOLES

The answer TO the problem of shoe
wear lies in the use of Ne0lin Soles -
so says II. l.. Evans Of Steubenville,
Ohio.
For five months, " says Mr.Evans, Il
have been wearing the same pair OF
Ne0lin-soled Shoes at my work at the
La Belle Iron Works and they are
good for two months more wear. As
my work takes me to all parts of the
mill daily where | have TO walk over
cinders, Stag, etc. it is simply out OF
the question TO buy anything else to
take the place OF Neolin Soles."
You too-and your whole iamily-will
find Neohn-solal shoes wear long and
so save money. You can get themin the
styles you like at almost any good shoe
store. And any repairman will re-sole
your worn shoes with Ne5fn Soles--

omitted the Earth which they held to
be the center of the universe around
which all planets reVolved. In recent
times Uranus and Neptune have been
discovered and, together with the
Earth have been added to the number
while the sun and Moon have been
eliminated. Thus at the present time
we have eight recognized planets.
Given in the order of their respective
distances from the sun they are:
Mercury. Venus. Earth, Mars. Jupi-
ter. Saturn. Uranus and Neptune. In
addition there are a large number of
minor planets termed "Planetoids'' or
"Asteroieds," which hevolYe in more
or less excentric orbits between those
of Mars and Jupiter. For time there
was a spirited controversy in regard
to a body which was claimed to have
been discovered between Mercury and
and the Sur and to which was given
the name of Vulcan. 1t is claimed,
however, by subsequent developments
that the supposed discovery was only
a mistaken identity and. that like
"Marjory Daw" there is no Vulcan
and there the matter remains at the
present time.

Son of a tailor, he was born
in New York, &c years ago and
is single. Since three years olo
he has lived at Sea Cliff where
he attended the grade and
high schools. He helped to
support the family while at
tending school by selling pa
pers, delivering special delivery
letters and cleaning and press
ing clothes. Both in grammar
school and as a senior in high
school he was president of his
class. Mr.. Raft worked his
way through Syracuse univer-
sity and law school by wash
ing dishes and waiting on ta-
BILE. He belonged to the debate
club, the basketball team and
in his junior year coached the
freshmen basketball squad.
Following his graduation
from the Law School in 1917
he made application to enter
the Officers Training Camp at
Madison Barracks, N. Y, but
was rejected on account of be-
ing less than the height requir-
ed by army regulations.
While preparing himself to
try for the next officers train
ing camp, the draft act was
passed, to which he became
Subject. He waived his right
of exemption, being the sole
support of widowed mother,
and became a private in the
305th Infantry, 77th Division,
at $50 a month. He served in
France little more than a
year, beginning in the Baccarat
sector, then the Oise-Aisne Of
fensive, next the Argonne and
finally in the Argonne-Meuse.
He was mustered out as a pri-
vate.
