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

Undigested food delayed in the
stomach 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 Hy-
per-acidity, meaning there is an ex-
cess of hydro-c hloric acid in the stom-
ach which prevents 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 stomach like a toy balloon.
Then we feel a heavy, lumpy misery
in the chest, we belch up gas, we
eructate sour food or have heart
burn, flatulence, water brash or nau-
sea.
lie tells us 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 and drink
while 1t is effervescing and further
more, to continue this for a 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.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon
juice, combined with lithia and so
dunn phosphate. This harmless salts
is used by thousands of people for
stomach trouble with excellent results

Today brings Dolores CassinelH, the
cameo girl. to the Pastime theatre for

tional ability, Finis Fox designed this
story to supply the beautiful star with
every opportunity 10 bring out her
talent. Taking two girls who bear
resemblance in features, but widely
differ as to dispositions. the author
has woven a clever and dramatic story
in which the selfish girl, by trickery,
lies and deceit, gets the riches she
craved. though they belonged to the
other.
Edwin Carew is both producer and
director of the Web of Deceit the
action of which takes place on
charming little New England farm
and in New York city and fashionable
Long Island. The action of the story
calls for some particularly large and
lavish sets. Very few characters are
required to tell this powerful story.

most famous race in the world, is
faithfully Depicted on the screen. The
horses are seen at the post. and are
followed by the camerman throughout
the running of the race
The story itself concerns the betting

handled in this country during the past
few months, with net imports rs per
cent or over 1,O0O,OOO,000 pounds
greater than in any previous period.
1t is obvious, therefore, that there has
been no actual sugar shortage here this
wear. The difficulties encountered
have arisen from the inability Of the
consumer, to secure his share Of the
supply. Unless enormously increased
amounts have been consumed, the
trouble must be laid to boarding, and
it is very evident that large quantities
are being held for future use both by
the housewives and commercial con-
Germs.
During the past fifty years the con-
sumption of sugar in the Unites States
has steadily increased, at an average
annual rate of / pound per- year, until
in the past few years the average yearly
per capita consumption for all pur-
poses is between IS and 80 pounds
This compares with per capita con-
of $50 pounds in 1899. The
increased consumption of sugar by the
soft drink, candy, and ice cream in
dustries during recent years has helped
raise the total average, but to what
extent is not known.
