at becomes
100000
rent sacks
ar?
Practically 90 per cent Of
the 95,OO0,0OO barrels Of
portland cement shipped
last year was delivered in
returnable cotton sacks.
To supply users of cement
promptly, the industry must
have about 2OO,OOO,OOO
sacks either on hand or in
use.
The sack method of ship
ping is most convenient.
There are four sacks to a
barrel. Each sack contains
"a pounds of cement-a
cubic foot. And a cubic
foot is a handy volume in
proportioning concrete
mixtures.
When cement is shipped, thesacks
are billed to the purchaser. When
they are returned, they are bought
backat the same price if they are
in disable or repairable condition.
This involves much work in
checking, cleaning, sorting and
repairing. Z
But in spite Of the fact that every
good cement sack is redeemable,
100000 of the sacks shipped
everyyearfail to come back-aloss
Of nearly $5,ooO,0oo a year at
present prices of new sacks.
To replace these "lost, strayed or
stolen" sacks requires annually
over 10000 bales of cotton. 1t re-
quires that the textile industry
weave strip Of cloth 30 inches
wide and 1900 miles long. 1t
means that /, 900 looms are kept
working full time for year.
Thousands of sacks returned to
the cement mills for redemption
are damaged, yet accepted for
credit, If they can be repaired.
This repair is done by the cement
manufacturer at his own expense.
A medium sized plant shipping,
say 900, 900 barrels of cement
year, has to repair an average of
5000 sacks pen day from among
those returned for credit. This
keeps 6 people constantlyworking
at rapidly operated electric sew
ing machines. In a million barrel
a year plant, ~ people are con-
stantly employed sorting, counting,
repairing and otherwise caring for
returned sacks SO that they may
again be used.
At the present time $30,000,0O0
would be a conservative estimate
Of the investment which the ce-
ment industry has in cotton sacks.
Sacks are one Of the lesser, but
nevertheless important items in
the cement industry.

ACIDS in STOMACH
CAUSE INDIGESTION
Create Gas. Sourncss and Pain
How To Treat.

Medical authorities state that nearly
nine-tenths of the cases of stomach trOu-
BILE, Indigestion. sOurness. burning, gas,
blOatinE, nausea. etc. are due to an ex-
cess Of hydrochloric acid in the stomach
and not as some believe to lack Of di-
gestive juices. The delicate stomach lin
ing is irritated, digestion is delayed and
food sOurs. causing the disagreeable
symptoms which every stomach sufferer
knows so well.
Artificial digestents are not needed in
such cases and may do real harm. Try
laying aside any digestive aids and instead
get from any druggist n few ounces of
Bisurated Magnesia and take Il teaspOonful
in Il quarter glass of water right after
eating. This sweetens the stomach. pre-
vents the formation of excess acid and
there is no sourness, gas or pain.
Bisurated Magnesia lin powder or tablet
fOrm-never liquid or milk is harmless to
the stomach. inexpensive to take and is
the most efficient form of magnesia for
stomach purposes. 1t is used by thou
sands Of people who enjoy their meals
with no more fear OF indigestion.-Adv.

Common Coughs and Colds That
Hang on Persistently Are Apt
to Lead to Serious COmplica-
lions, Declare Authorities.
Public Warned to Beware of
Three Days Cough and Break
1t Up Before It's Too Late, by
Taking KurOkol. the New
Scientific Discovery.
Money Refunded in Every In
stance Where kurOkol Fails
to Bring Relief.

Leading authorities are using every
effort to arouse the public to the dan
ger of letting common colds just run
their course, for it is now definitely
known that many serious lung compli-
cations such as pneumonia, grippe.
etc, are the direct result of colds that
hang on persistently.
Colds are durable and preventable
and it is a duty everyone owes himself
as well as his neighbors to break up
any cold they may contract, before
some serious disease gets him in its
clutches. 1t is pointed out that a
three days cough is natures warning
and the time for immediate action has
arrived.
OF all the cough and cold remedies,
KurokoI, the new scientific treatment,
which has been accomplishing such re-
markable results all over the United
States and Canada, probably provides
the safest, surest and quickest, as
well as the most practical treatment
for colds vet discovered.
According to the statements of
thousands who have used it, Kurokol
is almost magical in it's effect The
first dose usually stops the tendency to
sneezing and coughing, and relieves
the feeling of discomfort, and the sec
ond and third doses usually suffice
to stop the progress of a cold alto
gether.
The wonderful efficiency of Kurokol
in breaking up a cold is best known
by the fact that all druggists are in
structed to refund money in any case
where it fails to give satisfactory re-
suits after three doses have been
taken-Adv.
