Wreck survivors
tell how tobacco
kept them going
When food and water gave
out on third day. they
smoked until rescued

Perhaps they were only pirates Of
the sea, and deserved no great charity
from the hand of Fate. Nevertheless,
they were very much human beings
when they found themselves miles out
to sea adrift in an open boat.
With two days supply of food and
water, they confidently expected to
be rescued in plenty Of time. But
when the third day passed and no
friendly sail appeared on the horizon,
it began to look like case for Davy
Jones's locker.
One of the victims, crazy with
thirst, suggested that they divide q
bottle Of iodine and end the agony
quickly.
1.-THE tobacco hasn't given out yet"
said another. Lets stick it out a
while longer" And they did.
Late in the afternoon of the fifth
day a tramp schooner saw their dis
tress signals and came valiantly to
the rescue.
"The only thing that kept us going
at all was tobacco" one of the survi-

ROME. March 1i.-Gambling has found no friends in the government of Premier Mussolini. which. by re- cent decision, has authorized the re- pression of tho practice on the grounds that 1t does not promote q healthy morality in the nation and that Ialian cities must find better means than "plrasitism and vice" for their prosperity.
 The Minister Of the Interior, the portfolio of which is held by Premier Mussolini. has been given power to adopt severe measures to run down the gamblers and to abolish the traf- flc in any quarter where it may be found.

GLASGOW COINS
 ONE NEW WORD

GLASGOW, March 14.-The high cost of whisky in these hard recon struction times, caused partly by the heavy demand for their national beverage sn the Bahamas and points west. is forcing Scotch drinkers into bhe anomalous necessity of resorting to a cheap substitute made of methy- latod spirits, known to the local trade as "sinlsh.''
 A police report just issued says several persons have been reduced to human wrecks in very short time by indulgence in this dope Scores of even mild drinkers have been found completely incapacitate1 from the effects of it.
 Hardened drinkers have found a most satisfying "wallop' in the new concoction. but for the ordinary tom peratc drinker It's effects have proved far too/daadly to recommend it as ar agreeable tfpple.
 However, in order Ito preserve | moderate kick" in their beverage al a minimum cost. 'sco.chman have begun to form the habit of mixing finish with red Spanish wine. Bu even this mixture, if used too freely is likely to 'lrave paralyzing results.

"THE GOLDEN GALLONS" COMING TO PALACE

Miss DuPont, ,1eading woman of "FaJi,sh Wives" and Universal saar in her own riYht. may be seen at the Palace ,Thestcr next Friday in '.The Golden Gallows," the story of a woman who was unlucky enough to inherit a million.
 If isn't generally considered .bad thing ito be m hcir to q fortune. But fer a girl to inherit 6 vast sum of money from a man who is no rela- ton of hers and supposedly means nothing in her goung life, is another matter entirely. The public likes to talk about it.
 When Wllow Winters heard that her elubman friend. Leander Sills, had been killed by a former sweet heart, she was genuinely sorry, for he had been kind to her-after he had found out that he couldn't be anything else. And when she learned that he had left her a million or two, she was deeply surprised and grate- ful though it was too late to express her gratitude.
 But when the public learned of it then the story begins.

ACID STOMACH
 SOURS THE FOOD
Says Excess of Hydrochloric Acid Is 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 believe, from lack ot di- gestive juices. He states that an excess of hydrochloric 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 inflate tho stomach like a toy balloon. we then get that heavy, lumpy feeling in the chest, we eructate sour food, belch gas or have heartburn, fiatu- lence, water-brash or nausea.
 He tells us to lay aside all di- gestivc aids and instead get from any pharmacy four ounces of lad Salts and take a tablespoonful in glass of water before breakfast, while it is effervescing, and furthermore. to continue this for one week. While relief often follows the first dose, It is important to neutralize the acid ity, remove the gas-making mass, start the liver, stimulate the kidneys and thus promote free flow of pure digestive juices.
 lad Salts is inexpensive and IS made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice. combined with lithfa and sodium phosphate. This harmless salts is used by thousands of stom- ach sufferers with excellent results
