in the
Midst Of Plenty
Acid-Stomach Steals Strength and
Good Feelings From Millions

One Of the worst features of acid
stomach is thatYery 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
eat, they do not gain in strength.
This is clearly explained by the
fact that an acid-Etomach 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,
fermented food, charged with excess
acid, passes into the intestines, it be-
comes the breeding place for all 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 it is that so many thousands Of
people eat 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 its III effects in a
weakened, emaciated body.
You may say: My stomach doesn't
hurt me. That may be true because
many victims Of acid-stomaeh do not
actually suffer stomach pains. Then
again, there are millions who do suffer
Ill kinds Of aches and pains-head-
aches, rheumatic tWinges, govt, lum-
oago, pains around the heart and in
he chest-who never dream that an

Careless Use of Soap
Spells the Hair

Soap should be used very care
fully, if you want to keep your hair
looking its best. Most soaps and
prepared shampoos contain too
much alkali. This dries the scalp,
makes the hair brittle, and ruins It.
The best thing for steady use is
Just ordinary mulsified cocoanut oil
(which is pure and greaseless), and
is better than the most expensive
soap or anything else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls viii
cleanse the hair and scalp thorough
ly. Simply moisten the hair with
water and rub it in. It makes an
abundance Of rich, creamy lather,
which rinses out easily, removing
every particle Of dust, dirt, dam
druff and excessive oil. The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and it
leaves the scalp soft, and the hair
fine and silky, bright, lustrous,
fluffy and easy to manage.
You can get mulsified eocoanut
oil at any pharmacy, it's very cheap,
and a few ounces win supply every
member Of the family for months.

Many Eastern Concerns
Want Representatives Here

Industrial Manager Gillian Of the
Chamber Of Commerce asserts that
never in the history OF Omaha has
there been a time when eastern
manufacturers were SO anxious to
place their goods in this territory
as now.
According to Mr.. Gillian he is re-
ceiving six to a dozen letters a day
from eastern manufacturers and
their general agents, asking for the
names of brokers, or agents who
will handle their lines in Nebraska.
Right now the demand from the
east for reputable brokers to take
over these lines greatly outnumbers
the applicants. Many of the lines
sought TO be sold in this territory
are practical and are money makers,
it is said.

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 quick,
easy way to do this. A wonderful
new remedy quickly removes the
excess acid without the slightest dis
comfort. It is EATONIC. 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 EAT0NIC
in your own case today. Get a big
box of EATONIC from your druggist.
See for yourself how surely it 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.
Danish all your stomach troubles so
completely that you forget you have
a stomach. Then you can eat what
you like and digest your food in COM
fort without fear of distressing
after effects.
IfEAT0NIC does notrelieve you, Il
will not cost you one penny. You can
return it to your druggist and get
your money back. So if you have the
slightest question about your health
IF you feel you are rot getting all
the strength out of your fOod-if YOU
are not feeling tip-top, ready for your
