A well-known authority states that stomach trouble and indigestion are nearly always due to acidity-acid stcmach-and not. as most folks be- lieve. from q lack of digestive juices. He states that an excess of hydro -chloric acid in the stomach re tards digestion and starts food fer mentation: then our meals sour like garbage in can, forming acrid fluids and gases, which initiate the stomach like . toy balloon. We then get that heavy. lumpy feeling in the chest, we eructate sour food, belch gas or have heartburn, flatu- lsnce, water brash or nausea.

Johns Hopkins Authority Tells of Necessity of Well Bal anced and Properly
 Nourishing Foods

Pasteurization of the milk supply of any city was encouraged by Dr, K. V. McCollum of the chemical hygiene and public health department of Johns Hopkins. who spoke to the meeting of the Jefferson County So- ciety of Dental Surgeons at the Tut wiler hotel Tuesday evening. He stated that in cities which have Pas teurization of their milk epidemics of typhoid and other diseases result ant from milk supplies had been practically stopped and that babies fed Pasteurized milk with vegetables or fruit juice were as healthy as those fed on other milk.
 Going at length into the discussion of the various vitamines (classed alphabetically. a, b. and d). Dr. McCollum gave a list of the vegets- bles and other foods containing thes elements which are of such material value in the growth and health of people and animals He attributed most of the bone disorder and teeth trouble to an unbalanced diet which did not contain these necessary vita mines. giving as illustrations people of Switzerland, Scandinavia and other European counties whose diet consisted of dairy products and were of superior type.
 He also encouraged the consump- tion of at least one quart of milk per Qdy. WnetHeT IL De used Tn soups. coffee. cereals, or other foods; also the consumption of two salads and leafy foods. Explaining the three types of diet. including the carniver- ous, oriental and the modern diet. Dr. McCol1um drew some very in teresting illustrations of the people who are affected by the three classes. giving their physical and skeleton conditions. which had been demon strated through experiments.
 His talk was of more technical nature than a layman could ordi- narily grasp, but he urged the audi ence to aid in attempting a dietary reform throughout the country which would be agriculturally and economically sound with the eating of more leafy foods, also to go back to the ancestral diet of more dairy foods,

Der of Commerce committee and various luncheon clubs of the city were: o. l.. Bum, Frank Spain, Paul H. Earle, Frank B. Clark, F. w. Bromberg. J. w. Sibley, A. w. Townes, R. A. Porter, J. K. Brock man, E. w. Daniel, J. l.. Yancey, R. M. Mcconnell and o H. Horton. All these entered vigorous protests against the ordinance, stating that the city should proceed slowly on a matter of such importance.
 Rev. J. S. Eddins, Mrs. B. A. Cooper. II. s. Hill and John c. Arnold led the citizens in favoring the ord.- nance which had been drawn by Commissioner Harrison and w. J. Wynn, city attorney. Mir Eddins stated residents of West End had been presented with a petition, and few had declined to sign. He also said tina; petition could be pre- sented to the commission from the residents of that section of the city, should they require it. Paul H. Earle, also of West End, voiced an opinion that during the entire time he had riden the street cars of his section he had yet to see an infringe ment by the colored people in the white compartments.
 John C. Arnold told the commits sioners they had made haste too slowly on the one man, single en- trance cars. [ He declared that the opposition to the ordinance came from those who were financially connected with the traction cQmpa- ny. or those who owned automobiles who did not have to depend upon the street cars for transportation.
 Mrs. Cooper. who filed the petition of the Fountain Heights residents, stated the company when buying the s60o.oo0 worth of new equipment had purchased it in spite of protests by the patrons who ride the cars on the Fountain Heights line.
 Explains Pratt Cit. Line.
 James Meager of Pratt City stated that the installation of the partitions would work hardship on the Prat, City lines inasmuch as during cer- tain hours of the day cars carried 90 per cent white people. with ten per cent negroes, and other hours ninety per cent negroes, and ten per cent white. l.. w. Dadley of Woodlawn declared he had never seer. a negro encroach on the white sections of the cars but on numerous occasions had seen white people take advantage 6f the negro compart- ment. John W. Si3ley and J. L. Yan- cey. both stated the one man cars had been giving satisfaction to theil respective lines.
 Frank Spain delivered the principal address against the passage of the ordinance, stated the people must pay

of the single entrance cars and sub stitution of the double entrance cars. He later stated that petitions from the Norwood and Fountain Heights lines had been presented to the com pany in an effort to have the changes made but had failed. He brought out that after the state util ties com mission had informed them that the change would rest entirely with the police powers of the c.ty the com mission could not enact an 0rdi- nance that would affect only two lines of the city, but that 1t mus, adopt an ordinance which could be defended in court. He declared that the ordinance was no. one to arouse racial prejudice. but the present ordi- nance is in accordance with prn- cipal easily recognized.
 After the discussion Lad been closed by President D. /. McLendon, a vote was called and tn entire com mission voted in favor of tke ordi- nance.
