TAKE SALTS IF

Says Indigestion Results from
an Excess of Hydrochloric
Acid.

Undi gested food delayed in the
stomach decays, or rather ferments,

says a 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 fermenta-
ton. Thus everything eaten sours in
the stomach much like garbage sours
in can, forming acrid fluids and
gases which initiate the stomach like
a toy balloon. Then we feel a heavy,
lumpy misery in the chest; we belch
up gas; we eructate sour food or
have heartburn, flatulence. water
brash or nausea.
He tells US to lay aside all diges-
tive aids and instead get from any
pharmacy four ounces of Jad Salts
and take a tablespoonful in a glass
OF water before breakfast and drink

thermore, to continue this fCf>a week.
While relief often follows the first
dose, 1t Is important to help neutral

ing mass, start the liver. stimulate
the kidneys and thus promote fres
flow of pure digestive Juices.

made from the acid OF grapes and

VIGOROUS BATTLE
AGAINST FRENCH
Half Miners in Ruhr Valley to
Leave Posts in Great
Economic Struggle
Along Rhine

ESSEN, Feb. 27.-(By Assoc
ciated Press.) Fifty per cent of
the miners in the Ruhr valley are to
be given vacation on full pay dur
ing March and the others are to be
granted April on the same terms, &C
cording to information received by
the French.
By this means the German mine
directors will further their campaign
of obstruction to the Franco-Bel-
gian occupational authorities, as it
is conceded that such vacations
would reduce the present production
of the Ruhr mines approximately
one-half or to about one-fourth of
normal. There are 100000 miners
in the Ruhr.
French official estimates place
the reduction in the output already
at from so to 60 per cent of normal,
as the miners have been working
seven hours day instead of eight,
as formerly, and many are employed
in repair work and odd jobs around
the mines instead of in the actual
production of coal.
o o
Coal Above Ground.
According to French estimates.
there are from 100000 to 100000
Tons of coal above ground at the pit

combing the Ruhr in a determination
to rid the district of those who are
practiclng sabotage. In Essen yes

These men were regarded as trouble
makers. They were out OF work and

DUSSELDORF, Feb. 27.-Rust-
mile upon mile, rusted network Of
railways. rou1dhouses filled with
rusted locomotives, cars with rusting
wheels on silent sidings-that is the
most striking, the most tell-tale evil
dence of the success or failure of the
occupation of the Ruhr. 1t is more
informative than any official inter-
view or statistics.
On an automobile through a dozen
or more Ruhr towns, observed the
extension OF the red rust which
marks the creeping paralysis over
coming the nervous system of the
great industrial organism. One by
one the tall smoke stacks everywhere
hedging the horizon are ceasing to
smoke as the paralysis reaches them.
Already fifty thousand persons are
idle in the Ruhr valley and their
number will increase from now on in
a growing ratio. Hundreds of thou
sands of others are engaged in non
productive work Raw material and
stocks are fast diminishing, meaning
that the factories must soon shut
down.
From one viewpoint, this paralysis
shows the success Of Fran Belgian
aims. Owing to the resistance or
Germany's Industrial cts. the French
and Belgians feel they must paralyze
the occupied area to force capitula-
tons. But the glare of the red
rust reflects the future of the in
vaders to procure separations in coal
--one of the avowed objects of the
occupation. Officials now admit the
impossibility of obtaining an appreci-
able amount of coal unless, and until
the Westphalian miners decide to
work under orders of the French and
Belgians.
Hunger Threat.
My impression is now that the pur-
pose of the occupiers to bring about
situation under which the indus
.rialsts ami tho workers will give
in and decide not to oppose the aims
OF the occupation. Although the
F;clcE officials ssod using the ugty
word. that conG;t,en can be summed
