ACID IN STOMACH
SOURS THE FOOD
Says Excess of Hydrochloric
Acid is Cause of In
digestion :

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-
ton, then our meals sour like gar
bage in can, forming acid fluids
and gases which initiate the stomach
like toy balloon. We then get that
heavy, lumpy feeling in the chest,
we eructate sour food, belch gas, or
have heartburn, fatulence, water
brash, or nausea.
He tells us to lay aside all digestive
aids and instead, get from any pharm-
acy four ounces Of Jad Salts and
take q tablespoonful in glass of
water before breakfast while 1t is
effervescing, and furthermore, to
continue 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, stimulate the kidneys and
thus promote a free flow Of pure
digestive juices. e.. .1..
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.

/ There seems to be a homely; utili-
tarial effect about the summer girls

has turned to the crocheting OF pas

Since the fad or vogue for these
hand-crocheted rag rugs has entered
into the summer girls simple life, her
vision Of rags has Jbroadened beyond
that of the jazzeries.

BELOVED GOLF CAME FIRST
Little Things Like Marital Ties and
the Demands of Business Didn't
Worry These Devotees.

A golfers wife had just told her hus.
band that she intended to leave him
forever, not because he was golfer,
but for some other reason.
"Will nothing alter your decision?
Will nothing induce you to stay?" he
asked.
The wife was obdurate.
"Well, he said, sit is terrible
shock, but while you are packing, I
think I will go out on the lawn and
do a little putting!"
This is reminiscent Of story of one
of the heroes of golf, an Edinburgh
innkeeper who lived hundred years
ago or Whereabouts. He was so devot-
ed to the game that he started playing
at dawn and was seen at night putting
on the green's by the light Of can
die. At last his wife applied for
separation ON the ground that her hus-
band was not attending to his bust
ness
He went to the court, admitted the
impeachment, and said: "She can have
all got if she will give me so much
week to buy golf balls. She can look
after the business!"

OVER FIFTY PERSONS KILLED
HUNDREDS WERE INJURED
IN STORM.
Town of Peggs Is Swept Away-Wire
Service Is Demoralized-AIl Doctors
and Nurses In TahIequah Have Re-
sponded.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Tulsa, Okla.-Fifty persons were
killed and more than a hundred in
jured by tornado that destroyed the
town of Pegs, in Cherokee county,
so miles from Tulsa. Messages re-
ceived are vague because of the de-
moraliZation of the wire service. Not
building was left standing in the
town, according to telephone report
from Tahlequah, the county seat of
Cherokee county. The information
was taken to that point by the first
REFUGE from Pegs. According to mes
sages received from the devastated
area at noon, the injured were being
transported hastily to Locust Grove
and to Tahlequah. All doctors and
nurses in Tahlequah have been sent to
the devastated area. A special train
carrying doctors and nurses has been
sent from Muskogee.
MuskOgee, Okla.--The bodies of 43
victims of the tornado that destroyed
the town of Pegs have been recovered
by rescue workers from Muskogee,
Tahlequah and Locust Grove. More
are believed to be in the wreckage.
Forty-twO collins were sent to the
scene of the storm from Tahlequah.
This was as many as could be found
in the city. Temporary hospitals have
been organized amid the wreckage and
scores of severely injured are receiv-
ing first aid. Tahlequah doctors were
the first to reach the scene. Six ply
sicians left there Immediately after the
storm was sighted. Later they sent
calls for more assistance and before .
O'Clock in the morning 100 automobiles
with men and women relief workers
were on their way to aid the injured.
The stricken village had a population
of 250 persons. Clothing was found
plastered on trees, several miles from
the path of the storm, by rescuers Oh
the way to the village. The storm
covered an area three miles long and
one mile wide, apparently descending
just in time to hit the village and ris-
ing soon after passing it. Entire fam
lilies were crushed to death when their
homes were torn to pieces by the force
of the gale. Nine members Of the Lev
ems family were killed Eight persons
of the name Of Frank and five mem
bers of the Wilkerson family were
among the victims John Littleford,
his wife and six of their seven chill
dren were among those killed by the
storm, report to Tahlequah said. The
one physician in the town, DR.. w. r.
Hill, also was killed When the first
rescWers reached Pegs they found but
a heap of twisted, mudsplattered de-
bris. A heavy rain and hail accom-
panied the storm, and when the work.
ers began to collect the bodies from
the ruins number were plastered
with mud so completely that they had
to be washed before they could be
identified. One of the freaks of the
storm was that a small frame shack,
uninhabited, was left standing in the
heart Of the town, while brick build
ingS around it housing a number OF
persons were RACED. The Pegs school
house, a concrete building, was
crushed.
