Is Acid-Stonach
Sapping Your
Strength?

Have you any idea of the great number of
ailments that are directly traoeahle to Acid.
Stomach? Few people have. When they are
bilious, have severe headache, or an attack Of
indigestion, rheumatism, lumbago or eciatica;
or when they begin to feel run down and are
nervous and mentally depressed; or have dizzy
spells, vertigo and pains around the heart-little
do they think it may have its origin in an Acid
Stomach.
You know how it is with acid-mouth-how
the acid which is created az . result OF fermen-
tation of particles of food lodged around the
gums, literally eats through the enamel OF the
teeth and causes them to decay.
How, then, can anyone expect to "feel
right" when Acid Stomach is making digestion
more and more difficult, causing food to sour
and ferment in the intestinal tract, filling the
system with poisons?
And then there are thousands yes, millions
of people who, without having any well de-
fined ailraent, are always comp. aiming. They
can't say exactly what 10 the m after with them.

There is no doubt, whatever criti-

The attention of the members of the
american Legion is called to the fol-
lowing letter written to Mr. William
Howard Taft. in reply to an editorial
written by him and published in many
newspapers, Dec. 2. 1919.
My Dear Mr.. Taft:
AS National Commander of the
American Legion I wish to thank you
for the clear and able Interpretation
OF the spirit and purpose of the legion
as stated in tho editorial written by
you and published in many news
papers on Dec. 3. 1919.
The American Legion has Just held
its first national convention in Min
neapolis, representing nearly 100000
men and women who wore tho uni
form OF the United States during the
great war and have now returned to
civilian activities.
"You have accurately interpreted
the sentiment Of the members of the
legion as expressed in the fundamen-
tai principles adopted at Minneapolis,
when you say:
"'The legion must knew that it's in
fluence for great good depends on its
maintenance of the ideals shown by
its members in military defense Of
the country and the world. 1t
was their self-rcstraint that made
them effective. Liberty regulat-
ed by law is their only safe guide
| 1t is lawlessness awakening the
sympathy Of the people that is most
dangerous to the state and our. lib
critics.
"In view of your letter and the i'm.
portance of having the public through
you understand the spirit of the le-
/ gion. I am venturing in open public
letter to add the following, as embody-
I ing whatI am suro is the threefold
purpose Of the great body of ex-service
men enrolled in the American Legion.
First: Mutual helpfulness whereby
all our comrades who have been han
dicapped in mind, body and position,
through service to their country, may
receive that liberal consideration
which they have reason to expect
from a grateful and patriotic nation
Second: Protection for our country
from foes without. Having lately de-
Tended our country from such foes, il
will be our endeavor to assist in the
adoption Of military policy which
will make it safe from future aggres
sion and yet n policy which will be
truly American, and just and equitable
to the entire country.
II Will Stand for Americanism.
Third: Protection fer our country
from foes within. Our stand for 10(
per cent Americ2nism will be virile

II am sure this is the spirit of the

Of all forces standing for real progress

these days of REIMBURSEMENT.
