 STOMACH suFFERERa
says Indigestion comes from an ex-
 cess of hydroehlorie acid.

A well-known authority states that stomach trouble and indigestion are nearly always due to acidity = acid stomazh-and not, as most folks be- lieve, from a lack of digestive juices He states that an exoess of hydro- chloric acid in the stomach retards digestion and starts food fermentation, then our meals sour like garbage in a can, forming acrid fluids and gases which infiate the stomach like a toy balloon. We then get that heavy, lumpy feeling in the chest, we eructate sour food, belch gas, or have heartburn, hatulenee, water brash, or nausea.
 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 water before breakfast while 1t is ef- rervescing, and furthermore, to con tinue this for one week. While relief follows the first dose, 1t is important to neutralize the acidity, remove the gas-making mass, start the liver stimulate the kidneys and thus pro- mote a free flow of pure digestive juices.
 lad Salts is inexpensive and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juices, combined with lithia and sodium phosphate. This harmless salts is used by thousands of people for stomach trouble with excellent results.

 BEFoRE ULSTER PARLIAMENT

Belfast, March IA CBy the A.

 Sir James Crdig was emphatic In hif statement that no change in the boun- dary under the 1920 act would be sanc- tioned, unless by mutual agreement Ills announced that pounds sterling 2.ooo.- 900 would be allotted, if needed, for the restoration of order, and insisted that a=--sII zoe-s- must be amenable to the ordi- nary course of law.
 Colonel Spender, secretary of the Ul- stsr cabinet, told the Associated Press tonight that the pounds sterling 2.00o.- 900 was intended to show Field Mar shaI Wilson that the Ulster government really meant business and was deter mined. regardless of the cost, 10 see that | the province is fully protested The premier in the course of hif | speech. alluding to the liberation os the l Londonderry prisoners ana other prs oners by the British government, said: l "The British government has repeat | edly refused my request to draw the line in this respect. l now have drawn the line myself and told the Brtis'i government that from this time onward our courts must run and their sentences | must be executed"

NORWICH PosTMAsTER LED IN
 TREASURY CERTIFICATE SALES


 A few reports of sales received by F. c. Ayres, director savings division, First federal reserve district, show that dur ing the month of February the people of Connecticut commenced to appreciate the many advantages of investment which the U. s. government is offering through the treasury department. and the post masters have been uniformly busy in the sale of these treasury savings eertifi- cates
 The best sale so far reported goes to the credit of Postmaster John P. Mur- phy of Norwich, who during the month sold IS $25 treasury savings certificates, IS $100 treasury savings certificates and eight S1,000 treasury savings certificates.
 Among the best reports received arc those from Postmaster David A. Wilson of Hartford and Postmaster Philip Troup of New Haven
 Among the smaller postoff1ees may be mentioned the results obtained from the efforts of Postmaster John G, St John of Windsor. who aggregated for his town a per capita average of about 40c for the month. Postmaster M. J. Stanton Lake vile, also had a very successful month and aggregated about the same per cap ita as did his brother postmaster ol Windsor,
 The new issue of savings certificates, as an investment and as a means to safeguard the money either temporarily or permanently. is receiving much favor able comment, It is evident from the returns which Ma Ayres Is receiving from time to time that much e this money that is now being invee led in treasury savings certificates has been hidden and hearded either, on the prem ises of the owner or has been carried on the person. This Is a very foolish l practice as it entails 8 great deal of per i sonal danger upon the owner. who is l running the risk of burglary as we'll as the loss of the money by fire.

 Mrs. Gahlard's testimony was the sub
 1ect of continual objections by counsel ol
 both sides and the cctlrt was called upo,
 to rule upon objections continually an.
 numerous exceptions were noted from tn
 rulings The objections arose princfpalI as to testimony Mrs. Gaillard gave re
 garding the breaking off of Mrs. Luther

 ing upon Mrs Luther's testamentary ca pacity at the time she made her will.

SUSPEND FOR YEAR NEW
 NORMAL REQUIREMENTS

The state board of education has sus- pended for one year the new require ments for entrance to the state normal school.
 Unodiclaliy, the reason Is the chance or a shortage in school teachers in the near future.
 While no official announcement of the change has been made, Marcus D, White. superintendent of the state nor mai school at New Britain, told of it at the teachers institute at New Haven.
 Mir. White threw verbal bomb al the teachers when he declared that schools were not properly fitting chil- dren for admission to the states normal schools, and backed up his statement by reporting the number of pupils dropped from his school for failure to keep UT with their work
 A. B. Meredith, new commissioner o1 education, drew up the new require ments for admission to the states nor mai schools and they were announced only a few weeks ago, When the act cal conditions of scholarship became ap parent, the state board promptly decid ed to cancel the requirements for thu present, at least. There is chance that the requirements will not be raised again for even longer than anothe year.
 The state board finds a difficult .prob lem confronting it, If the girls nov studying to be teachers cannot pas their tests in the normal school an in crease in the requirement. would tend t produce a great shortage of teachers fo Connecticut schools in years to come, . In New Haven alone thsre was an In crease of about 700 pupils in the pas year. meaning that probably 20 neN teachers were needed.
 While the other cities never require as many teachers as New Haven, the. require some each year. and the suppl is never quite up to the demand,
