ISN'T SCIENCE WONDERFUL UN-
DER THIS ADMINISTRATION?

When a Democratic President,
Grover Cleveland, appointed Norman
]. Coleman of Missouri to be the first
Secretary OF Agriculture, little did the
farmers of America dream that that
Cabinet Department would degener-
ate into an organization employing
high priced scientists to count skip
pers on hams and cheese. And yet,
according to a recent Washington
Dispatch to the Missouri State Jour
nal, this is what is happening in the
year 1922 in the Republican, coil
t,olled Department of Agriculture i'll
Washington. Ii you don't believe it,
wl;te TO the Bureau of Entomology OF
the department and you may obtain
printed brochure telling all about
the count On ham, for instance,
showed total production of 52,627
shippers in eighteen months. How
well it speaks for the acuteness of
Secretary Wallace and his aids to
e,rn the exact number of shippers.
What nicely of exactness! No
rough and tumble approximation!
20 wild stabs and guesses! A total
OF 5a,627 shippers! Not $500! Not
5e,6aS! But 52,627-all counted

PUT STOMACH IN
FINE CONDITION
Says Indigestion R e S Il 1t 5
from an Excess of Hydro
cloric Acid.

Undigested food delayed in the
stomach decays, or rather, ferments
the same as food left in the open air,
says noted authority. He also tells
us that Indigestion is caused by
Hyper-acidity, meaning, there is an
excess of hydrochloric acid in the
stomach which prevents complete di-
gestion and starts food fermentation.
Thus everything eaten sours in the
stomach like garbage sours in a can,
forming acrid fluids and gases which
initiate the stomach like a toy bal
loon. Then we feel a heavy, lumpy
misery in the chest, we belch up gas,
we eructate sour food or have heart
burn, flatulence, water-brash or nau-
sea. He tells US to lay aside all di-
gestive aids and instead, get from any
pharmacy four ounces of Jad Salts
and take tablespoonful in glass of
water before breakfast and drink
while it is effervescing and further
more, to continue this for a week.
While relief follows the first dose, it
is important to neutralize the acidity,
remove the gas-making mass, start the
liver, stimulate the kidneys and thus
promote free flow of pure digestive
juices.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon
juice, combined with lithia and sod
ium phosphate. This harmless salts
is used by thousands of people for
stomach trouble with excellent results.

His work in this respect in the Sixth district
is an outstanding feature of his career in con-
gress. The former soldiers have no warmer
friend than Mr.. Elliott and who has OBJ
tanned relief so speedily and at the expense of SO
so former service men say, has received imme-
date attention, and often, long and tedious de-
lays that held up action, were quickly broken by
Mr.. Elliott in his effort to help the applicant.
This accounts for the warm esteem and affec-
ton in which he is held all over the district by
the service men and their families and friends.
Mr.. Elliott also has been jealous in attending
to the matters upon which his constituents
wanted information or were anxious to learn the
methods of procedure.
In his statement to the voters of the district
Mr.. Elliott expresses his satisfaction in what has
been accomplished by the administration and his
participation in the work. He says:
II have supported all of the measures passed
and have tried to give heed at all times to the
needs and requests of the people of my district
and especially to the soldiers and their depend
ents during the war, realizing that | am your
servant and that my commission comes from
lyou. If my services in the past have met with
your approval, will appreciate your support in
the coming primary and election"
Mr.. Elliott has been in congress long enough
to establish himself in the esteem of his col
leagues. The continued presence of a representa-
tive in congress is of worth to his constituency
for the longer an efficient and a capable man re.
mains the better is his grasp of public affairs.
