STOMACH TROUBLES ARE DUE ID ACID|TY
Tells Safe. Certain, Speedy Relief for
 Acid Indigestion.

So-eailed stomach troubles. such as Indigestion, gas, sourness, stomach acne and inability to retain food arc Tn probably nine cases out of ten sim ply evidence that excessive secretin,, of acid is taking place in the stomach causing the formation of gas and acid indigestion. -N
 Gas distends the stomach and causes that full. oppressive, burning feeIine sometimes known as heartburn. while the acid irritates and infiames tbe delicate lining of the stomach. The trouble lies entirely in the excess dee velopment or secretion of acid.
 To stop or prevent this sourinq of the food contents of the stomach and to neutralize the acid, and make if bland and harmless, a teaspoonfuI oS bisurated magnesia. a good and ef- fective Corrector of acid stomach should be taken in quarter of a gIa ss or hot or cold water after eating or whenever gas, sourness or acidity is felt. This sweetens the stomach and neutralizes the acidity in a few mo ments and is a perfectly harmless and Inexpensive remedy to use,
 An antiacid, such as bisurated nas- nesia, which can be obtained from any druggist in either powder or tablet form. enables the stomach to do its work properly without the aid of arti- fcial digestents. Magnesia comes in several forms. so be certain to ask for and take only Bisurated Magnesia. which is especially prepared for the above purpose.

PENN ANNUAL TWO DAY
 CARNIVAL BEGINS TODAY

Philadelphia, April 29-With the Ox- for Cambridge universities track team of England as the star attraction, the University of Pennsylvania inaugur- ates it's annual two day relay carnival here tomorrow. Every indication points to the meet being the greatest intercollegiate track and field games ever staged in the United States. In addition to the entries of the leao ng British varsity athletes almost every college or university of prominence in the country will have team or individ- ual entrants. An additional aspect is added to the games by the appearance of a competitor from the Toronto uni lversity of Canada.
 All told, more than 300 schools and colleges will compete in the various team and individual events and the quality of the athletes is considered to be higher than in any previous meet With competitors from all sections of the east, middle west, south and the Pacific coast, the games will afford the first opportunity of the season to guage the material available for the American Olympic which will oppose the athletic world at Antwerp next August and many members of the Olympic committee will be present to stpdy the performances of the collegi- ans.
 The keen interest evinced in the con- tests is reflected by the largest ad- vance sale of seats in the history of the relays which covers a period of 25 years. Officers of the University of Pennsylvania predicted a larger at tendance than was the case in 1914, when the Oxford team won the four mile race, the feature event of that years carnival. Weather forecasts to- night were for fair and warmer wealth CT and the high and warm sun dried put the track at Franklin field today to an extent that led the athletic sharps to look for fast track and pos
