Do you realize that you may
have an acid-stomach?
1t is the very thing that
causes indigestion, heartburn,
bloat, belching, stomach pains
and all kinds of stomach miser-
les. So If you ever suffer from
any OF these painful and dis
tressing symptoms you may feel
lure that you have an acid
stomach.
On the other hand, there are
millions of people who are VIC
tins of acid-stomach without
their knowing it. People who
are tired, listless, run down and
worn out-always sickly and
ailing. People who arc thin
blooded, pale, weak and emaci-
ated. People who have frequent
attacks of rheumatism, sciatica,
lumbago. Thousands upon thou
sands who suffer almost daily
from severe headaches, whose
nerves are always on edge, irri-
table, mentally depressed, lie
awake and toss about through
out the night, and take a dark
outlook on life. They may have
no pains in the stomach at all
and yet, nine times out of ten
il is just acid-stomach that is
causing them all their troubles.
Boiled down to few simple
facts the condition is this: An
acid--stomach cannot digest food

Liberal Offer Made.
The special ballot offer gives can
didates a splendid opportunity to
pile up a big list OF votes, as each
$500 worth of new subscriptions
counts for a special ballot of $4,000
votes. in addition to those regu-
larly given on the subscription.
For instance. four one-year sub
scriptions would give a candidate
10000 votes and also earn for them
a special ballot which would count
for $1,000 more. making total Of
$4,000 votes. Never again during
the campaign will there be an op-
portunity to get as many votes on
this number of subscriptions.
In some of the districts and Dis
trict No. 8 In particular. only one
candidate has passed the 10000
mark. There are three prizes to
be awarded to each district regard
less of the number of votes can

only two candidates are credited
with more than 10000 votes, and in
District No. only a few of the
candidates have started. 1t is up
to some live-wire candidate to get
busy in these districts.

COTTON SALES
TO HUNS URGED
HeAin Suggests Deal to
Beat Alleged English
Combine.

Representative Heflin. of Ala
bama, yesterday. requested the
alien property custodian to permit
the sale of 100000 bales OF cotton
to German spinners. to be stored
and held in this country until the
allied embargo against Germany is
lifted. Mr.. Heflin expects a de-
cision within a few days.
The Alabama Congressman urged
that this arrangement be permitted
in the interest OF the Southern
planters. who he says have suffered
tremendous loss as result of the
great decline in the price OF cotton.
The Germany purchases. he says.
will increase the demand and. con-
sequently, advance the price.
Mr.. Hefiin charges that the most
serious factor working against the
cotton growers is a combination Of
English spinners, who are working
through the New York Cotton Ex-
change to beat down the price of
cotton.
