As Uncle wiggily Longears. the bun

stairs In his hollow stupp bungalow
one morning, he heard Nurse Jane
Fuzzy Wuzzy saying:

10 put in II I'd be all right"
Il wonder II she is talking about her
pofketbook. and wants some money 70
put in that?' said the bunny rabbit
gentleman TO himself, as he looked in
bis red vest TO see how many pennies
he had.
Then. as he kept on down the stairs
he peeped out into the kitchen, and
saw Nurse Jane, with a dab Of flour on
her nose. The muskrat lady house
keeper was standing in front Of a table
on which was some pie crust rolled out
and ready for the oven. .
"oh, hol Cherry pies, | hope cried
Uncle Wiggily.
YHo. not cherry pies, nor any other
kind" answered Nurse Jane. That's
just what ! was saying. II | only had
something TO put in It I'd be all right,

made, The pie is here all right, but |
have nothing TO put in--no apples,
cherries, nor even yet custard. ] was
speaking OF pie"
TTm glad 10 hear you" said Uncle
Wiggily. AT first | thought you meant
your pocketbook was empty, But II
only the pie crust needs flling-what
do YOU cay II | go off and look for
something that will do TO make a pie?'
'T'li say co. exclaimed Nurse Jane,
But don't be gone too long, or my pie
crust win spoil, See II you IAN find
SOME sort OF fruit or vegetable that
can use"
Il witt promised Uncle wiggily, and
away he hoped on his red, white and
blue striped rheumatism crutch, to get
something for Nurse James pie.
The bunny rabbit gentleman had not
hoped very far through the woods be-
fore he came TO n bush on which green
and red berries were growing. The
bush had sharp thorns on 1t, too, and
Uncle Wiggily had to be very careful
how he reached up and picked the red
and green berries, which were about a.
large as a grape. The berries had thin
skins, and he could see the seeds inside
them.
These might do for a pie thought
Uncle Wiggily, as he began to pick
the berries. I'm take some of these,
as they seem TO belong to no one,

STOMACH SUFFERERS
Says Indigestion Comes From An
Excess Of Hydrochloric
Acid,

A welIknown authority states that
stomach trouble and indigestion are
nearly always due to acidity-acld
stomach-and not, as most folks be-
lieve, from lack of digestive juices.
He states that an excess of hydro
chloric acid in the stomach retards
digestion and starts food fermenta-
ton, then our meals sour like garbage
in a can, forming acrid fluids and
gases which initiate the stomach like
a toy balloon. We then get that heavy,
lumpy feeling in the chest, we cru
ctate sour food, belch gas, or have
heartburn, flatulence, waterbrash, or
nausea.
He tells to lay aside all digestive
aids and instead, get from any phar-
macy four ounces of Jad Salts and
take a tablespoonful in a glass Of
water before breakfast while it is eff
fervescing, and furthermore, to con-
tinue this for one week. While relief
follows the first dose, it is important
to neutralize the acidity, remove the
gas-making mass, start the liver slim
ulate the kidneys and thus promote a
free flow of pure digestive 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.-Adv.

Advanced from the old-style buggy

has a mileage sufficient to go on one

I'm fact the electric is the ideal city

Haynes Car Crosses
Continent II Times

''How would you like to ride seventy
one times across America in motor
carr" asks Leo Bowers of the Central
auto agency. Haynes distributors.
This would have been the feat ac-
complished by the Lincoln Heights
Bus company in a car built on
Haynes chassis, had the driver chosen
the route between New York and San
Francisco for a seventy-one times
trip"
The noteworthy Haynes was first
put on the road in August, 1915, and
driven continuously until the latter
part of 1918, when it was sold back to
the Lagerquist Carriage & Auto COM
pany, Haynes distributors at Des
Moines, Iowa.
During these years of constant use,
very few repairs were made. The
pistons and bearings were not
changed" says Mr.. Lagerquist, presi-
dent of the Des Moines company.
THE way the car is running today in
dicates that it is good for many more
thousands of miles"
1t is said that this Haynes Travelled
225,000 miles. This is more than sew
enty-one times across America, the
distance between new 1Ork anu Dan
Francisco being 1871 miles. Today
the car is being used by Mr.. Lager
Quist for his own driving.
when you consider the hard usage
this Haynes had to undergo, over all
sorts of roads under all conditions
during the time it was used by the
Lincoln Heights Bus company, this
record is remarkable and reveals the
inherent stamina of Haynes charac-
ire cars" say S. M. How, general
sales manager of the Haynes Auto
mobile company. Kokomo,/ Indiana.
"Of course, no factory would guaran-
tee every car produced to make such
an extraordinary showing, but it is
interesting to hear Of such perform
ances because they prove the motor
cars practicability for transportation.
