Good food in itself is harmless.
The usual reason stomach troubles
arise Is dre to faulty digestion
brought about by overwork. sickness,
overeating. late hours, etc. sss
The best way to correct faulty
stomach troubles due to digestive
mistakes Is to do what nature wants.
All that nature usually needs In such
cases Is a little assistance to do this
work. This is why doctors tell you
to diet. Nature Is then compelled 10
aid herself. You do not then over
work her when she is already az
hausted.

next meal is eaten, the system Is

By following this practice many
have corrected their stomach trou-
bles, and have conquered the old
"bugbear" Of indigestion.

People who do not own their own
homes are the ones who can best
afford to build or buy now" said .
prominent and successful business
man Of this city when discussing the
present cost Of building. "Their rents
are going to double very shortly" he
continued. "and their income has
very probably doubled since pre-war
times. which means that they can
still afford to own their own home
even on the present market and they
viii have to pay about as much In
rent II they don't build or buy" Ia
This far-seeing citizen then went
on to explain that even should the
cost of building come down during
the next five to ten years the proba-
bilities are that the rise In ground
values. due to development OF the
neighborhood, probably would more
than overcome the decline in cost.
"A modern, modest house used to
cost $4,000. to build" he said. 'To-
day it will cost $4,000. 1t can be built
on an $500 lot, If the home owner Is
willing to pioneer on O promising
and growing street. In two years
that lot will be worth $4,000 merely
because the peighborhood will have
been built up and beyond. built
my house just ten years ago when
it was almost the last to be passed
on that street when going out OF
town. Then lots across the street
were selling for $500. l bought
four for $4,000. Today one Of those
$S00-lots adjoining my four has
sold for $1,000, but rise from $500.
to $4,000. in value In ten years has
been quite common. This will take
care OF $1,000. decline in the cost OF
building the house which is probably
more than the decline will be when
it does come. Nobody expects prices
to fall back to their pre-war level.
The former $3,000-house which costs
$4,000. now may be built for less
sometime but probably never for less
than $4,000 IL for that.
But that is only half the problem
in house. building" continued this
man whose financial judgment is
we'll rated at the local banks. There
is the difference between owing
something and owning nothing. The
salaried person, wage worker or man
of professional income, who does not
need all Of his capital in his business
should be paying something into a
property investment as he goes along
or else he will never get ahead in the
world. No investment can give so
much contentment or SO much secur-
ity as a home and no time il SO gooA
in which to own a home as times of
high wages and easy employment for
every member Of the family.
Thirty dollars per month will pay
for a $4,000. property in eleven years
on the building and loan plan. Inter
est and upkeep would be ertra. The
time is soon coming when such a
property will rent for $50 per month
It must rent for that to be a sound
investment. He who pays rent for
eleven years owns nothing. He who
acquires home in that time, II It be
worth $4,000, draws a pension OF $50.
per month for the rest Of his life In
the rent that he will not have to pay.
The home one owns never sends its
collector around for the rent when
sickness or death has impaired the
income"

ACID IN STOMACH SOU2S THE FOOD
Says Excess of Hydrochloric Acid is Cause of Indi-
 gestion

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 di- gestfon and starts food fermentation, then our meals sour like garbage in a can, forming acrid fluids and gases which inaate the stomach like a toy balloon. We then get that heavy, empty feeling in the chest, we eructate sour food. be1ch gas, or have heart burn, fatulence, waterbrash. or nau- sea.
 He tells us to lay aside all digestive aids and instead, get from any phar- macy four ounces of lad Salts and take a tablespoonful in a glass of wa ter 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 neutraIize the acidity, remove the gaS-making mass. start the liver, stim- ulate the kidneys and thus promote a free flow of pure digestive juices.
 lad 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.

CHAMBER FAVORS FEDERATION OF
 ALL FINANCES

At a meeting of the Chamber of Commerce in The Stratfield last night the members went on record as favoring the federation of the finances of the various charity and relief or ganizations in the city. But one dis senting vote was voiced, by George L. Warren. Business men, those inti- mateIy connected with the various organizations, and those who have contributed during the past two or three years were of the opinion that combining the financial drives into one single effort would be of great aid to all of the organizations in voIved.
 The widening of Main street was also discussed at last nights meet ing, this proposition meeting with considerable opposition from Main street merchants.
 Traffic Captain Charles A. Wheeler gave an interesting talk on traffic conditions in the city and stated as his opinion that parking in Main street between Congress and State would be prohibited by ordinance within the near future.
 A change was made in the bylaws of the Chamber at the meeting whereby the nomination of directors by referendum vote was inaugurated.

 The Occident, according to the h. terchureh, cannot afford to evade its responsibility. The population of the East is increasing by leaps and bounds. There are today 500, ,0oO, O0a persons in India and East Africa alone, and a conservative estimate of the population by 1850 is 100000 900.

 One of his first duties is to rid them of the weight of i'll health that drags them down.
