ACID IN STOMACH
SOURS THE FOOD
Says Excess of HydrOchloric Acid
Cause of Indigestion.

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
digestion and starts food fermenta-
ton, then our meals sour like garbage
in can, forming acrid fluids and
gases which initiate the stomach like
a toy balloon. We then get that heavy,
lumpy feeling in the chest, we eruc-
tate sour food, belch gas, or have
heartburn, flatulence, waterbrash,
or neusea.
He tells us to lay aside all digestive
aids and instead, get from any pham-
acy four ounces of Jad Salts and take
a tablespoonful in a glass of water
before breakfast while it is effer
vescing, and furthermore, to continue
this for one week While relief fol-
lows the first dose; it is important TO
neutralize the acidity; remove the gas
making mass, start the liver sti1nu-
late the kidneys and thus promote
free flow of pure digestive juices.
Jad Salts is inexpensive andis made
from the acid of grapes and lemon
juice, combined with lithia and sOdi-
UNI phosphate This harmless salts IL
used by thousands of people for
stomach trouble with excellent re-
suits.

Franz Lengger, notorious and daring
poacher, was recently arrested on the
charge of four murders for robbery

police found in his mothers house a

his accomplice was a young woman
Lengger wrote that she was born
poacher and he had trained her per-

own haunts were the crags and lofty
businesses where no other hunter dared
venture and where the finest channels
were found. He described the woman
as equally daring and strong, no spot

shot she had no equal.
He stated that in August she had

FIRE LOSS is Ex0RBITANT
Havoc From Flames in Five Years
Would Build $4,000 Homes


Three hundred and thirty-four thou
sand homes at $1,000 each, sufficient to
house l, 100000 persons, could be built
with the money lost in fires in the
United States from 1915 to 1920, ac-
cording to figures made public by the
national board of fire underwriters
The board places the national fire loss
during the five-year period at 81 ,672,.
722,677, based on an examination of
over 100000 reports of fires.
Matches and smoking hazards are
neId responsible for S9O,OOO,OOO of
losses, according to the report Next
comes electricity, which caused fires
costing $S6,0O0,O0O. Stoves furnaces
and boilers, caused a loss of S63, OOO,-
OOO and defective chimneys and
fiues, $61 100000.
Sixty-seven per cent, 1856, 100000 of
the total loss, was classed as strictly
or partly preventable. New York state
suffered most heavily with a loss of
$164, 100000; Pennsylvania was second
with S97 100000, and Illinois was third
with $8S,OOO,0OO.

Helena. May 2.-If the labor inter.
e~fs Of Great Falls desire to organize
2 banking Institution they can obtain 8
state charter for a purely savings bank
but any application by them for ar
organization to engage in a general
commercial banking business will not
be looked upon with favor by the state
banking department. SO State Exam
liner J.. q. SHELTON informed a commit
tee of Great Falls men who called
upon him Monday.
This committee. composed of Hugh
Jones. Leo Hetterer and II. NJ. Lord,
and representing a movement among
the labor interests of Cascade county
for the formation of a laboring mems
bank, informed Mr.. SHELTON it had been
told he was opposed to the opening of
any new commercial banks in the state.
He advised the committee that such
was the fact and that while he was
opposed to the granting Of a charter
to any labor or other organization for
a general bank be would give favorable
consideration to an application for the
institution of a purely savings bank
in any of the industrial centers of the
state. such as Great Falls or Butre.
At the present time there are no ex-
clusively savings banks in Montana.
SO far as State Examiner SHELTON
has been advised. the Great Falls la
boring men have not yet perfected any
organization for the carrying on of a
banking business. but are making plans
in that direction.

TWO CANDIDATES
DROP FROM RACE
FOR FEDERAL JUDGE
Freeman and Cheadle With
draw and Five Are Left
in Running.
(Tribune's Helena Bureau.)

Helena. May I'm the race for the
appointment to the additional United
States judgship for Montana. to be
created by the bill now in conference
IN congress, ii is understood here that
two possible candidates have eliminated
themselves and the field Of entries has
been reduced TO five. 1t is the under
standing that both Mr.. Freeman of
Great Falls. and Judge L. X. Cheadle.
or LeWlstown, nave indicated their
withdrawals and it is said they have
thrown their strength to one of the
remaining candidates. This leaves In
the running l.. A. Foote. of Choteau,
assistant attorney general. l.. l.. Cal
lAway and Fletcher Maddox of Great
Falls. Fred l.. Gibson Of Livingston,
and George W. Farr of Miles City.
1t is rumored that Eddie Booth.
former state senator from Fallon
county and now solicitor for one Of
the government departments in Wash
lngton, is also after the appointment.
So far the additional judgship for
Montana has not been created. finally.
The bill for the creation of % addi-
tional Judges passed the house some
time ago and went to the senate where
1t was cOncurred in but with an amend
ment which increased the number of
new Judges to %. The bill was then
sent back to the house for concurrence
IN the senate amendment and as far
as has been learned here is not yet out
of conference.
Many petitions and requests for the
appointment of n or other of the
Montana applicants have gone to the
Montana senator's and .congressmen
which, naturally. will not lead to any
recommendations until the bill shall
have finally passed and have been ap-
proved by the president. The appoint
ment of the judges will be made by
the president and the selections will
probably depend to a great extent upon
the recommendations of Attorney Gen
eral Daugherty.
