Distressing Malady Is
Most Prevalent Of All.
Present-Day Diseases -
Thousands. Are Relieved
by Tanlac.

" OF all the conditions that afflict
humanity, chronic dyspepsia, or
what is more commonly known as
Indigestion, is probably the most
prevalent
This most universal malady has
baffled the medical profession for
years. and the more skilled special
: lists have been unable to cope with
1t successfully.
Hours might be consumed in de-
scribing the stffferings, mental and
physical. OF the sufferers from
chronic dyspepsia and their failure
heretofore to get relief. A morbid,
unreal, whimsical and melancholy
condition Of the mind, aside from
the nervousness and physical suf-
fering. is the usual condition OF the
average dyspeptic.
Dyspepsia, or Indigestion, as the
case may be. 10 usually caused by
the eating OF too much or unsuit-
able food, and the mucous men,
.brane Of the stomach becomes irri-
tated, and there is set up an acute
or sub-acute gastric catarrhal con-
dition which prevents the proper
digestion Of the food. This food is
apt to ferment and decompose, and
as result the familiar distressing
symptoms Of dyspepsia may arise
In mild cases there Is nothing more
than an uncomfortable feeling in
the stomach. with . certain amount
Of depression. headache, loss Of ap-
petite. perhaps belching Of gas and
occasional vomiting. There may be
also accompanying intestinal symp-
toms. such Is constipation. pains in
The back. collie. etc. There may be
only the familiar heartburn due to
the Inflammation of the stomach
from excessive. gases Of fermenta-
ton or putrefaction. In the most
severe cases-those that last over
q day or two-the symptoms emu.

BUREAU RANKS
HIGH IN STATE
Richey Says That Committee o.
Seventeen Plan vitality Affects
Local Farmers
Especial to The Argus

Aledo. ILL.,, April ia recent
report from the Illinois Agricul-
tural association received at the
farm bureau Office in Aledo showed
that out of the So counties in Illi-
nois Mercer ranks among the first
five in having over 80, per cent farm
bureau dues paid up. The counties
paid up rank as follows: Morgan,
80; Mercer. "a; Brown, "a; Craw-
ford, "a; Macon, SO, Sangamon. SO;
Logan, IS; Peoria, "a; Vermilion,
So; Champaign, so.
p S. Richey, Mercer county farm
adviser, who was in attendance at
a meeting of the Illinois Agricul-
tural association held. at Chicago
last week, declares that nothing in
the way of recent agricultural news
concerns the farmer of Mercer
county as vitality as does the rati-
fication Of the committee of seven
teen grain marketing plan" Ac-
cording to latest available reports,
Mercer county. produces approx
imately 305,296 bushels of winter
wheat and 3,S95.671 bushels of corn
yearly.
This grain according to the new
plan can now be marketed by the
farmers themselves where before
it has often been in the hands OF
spectators. This plan also pro-
vides for the farmers marketing
their own grain with their own
elevators and their own national
sales agency: in cooperation rather
than competition with grain dealers
and bankers. 1t aims to stabilize
the market and work for. the good
of the consumer as well as the
grower.

is revamped, and the final location
Of the high school agreed upon!
NDut Of Proportion.

= UUt VI 1hVYVAoVhhs
The fact that the present dis
trict is out of proportion with the
high school in Reynolds, with only
one mile of the district territory
east of here and six miles of 1t, TO
the west, is said to be the result
of the layout of the 'Sherrard anf
Presumption districts, which were
planned first Sherrard is said 70
have reached into the natural Pre-,
emption territory, and Presumption
in establishing its district. in turn
reached out into the natural Rey-
nolds territory, going up to within
one mile of the town on the east
ern SIDE As a consequence, when
the Reynolds district was mapped
out it was impossible to place the
town in the center of a district four
miles in each direction from the
town. 1t could only go one mile
east. To offset this those who did
the planning, extended the district
1imit on the west sufficiently to
make up for the last of territory
to the east. In 80 doing, however,
Reynolds was thrown in the posi-
ton of being on one side instead
Of in the middle of the district, and
many of those in the outlying ter
ritory became opposed to the pro-
posal for a community high school
in Reynolds for that reason.
Present Plan "Dead."
With the election over the pres
ent plan has the same as been kill
ed, and future plans must depend
upon developments, which will
probably bring about a rearrange-
ment of the district. 1t is point
ed out that if within two years aft
er a district has been layed out no
school has been erected to serve
the needs of that territory its rights
I become void. In this connection
! the Presumption situation is brought
| up as a possible solution of the
Reynolds problem. The Presumption
district has been layed out a year
and nothing has been done>on the
high school project, and unless
done within the next year, the Rey-
nolds district can be rearranged, II
/ is said, taking in some of the ter
ritory to the east which is nov
close to it.

general uncomfortable feeling in

nounced. This is particularly true
in acute gastritis.
1t frequently occurs from con-
tinued errors in diet that this con-
dition becomes chronic, and the
symptoms persist for an indefinite
period. The appetite is very apt to
be varied, but at times very good.
Heartburn is frequent. II not con-

is bad taste in the mouth, and
there are changes in the amount of

also usually present. although di-

Most cases of dyspepsia can be
cured if the diet is properly looked
after and with the proper treat
ment. Proper eating, the proper
amount Of food and hygienic living
are the most important features Of
the treatment. Most people eat too
fast and eat too much.
One noted authority has said that
the stomach is the fountain head Of
health or disease, as the case may
be. Tanlac was designed primar-
lily for the regulation of the stom-

uncommon thing for persons who
have used il to find that they have
also been relieved OF rheumatism

recognized as having their origin

favor the present arrangement OF
