May Lead to
Appendicitis

Repeated attacks of indigestion
often lead to serious inflammation
of the stomach and intestinal tract.
This inflammation may finally ex-
tend to the appendix, which usual
ly becomes infected through the
presence of foul, irritating matter
in the bowels.
1t doesn't pay to ignore even the
most simple warnings of digestive
trouble. Neglect is responsible for
much misery. Uneasiness at the
pit of the stomach, sour taste in the
mouth, excessive gas, heartburn,
nausea, vomiting, bitter risings, con
stipation ,biliousness, dizzy spells
and nalpitation of the heart after
eating are some of the most common
symptoms of poor digestion.
If you are subject to any form o
stomach distress, don fail to try a
bottle of Smith Bros. M. A. c., the
guaranteed stomach treatment. This
wonderful medicine usually gives
prompt relief from all discomfort.
In fact, it is sold on a positive
guarantee of money back if the first
bottle fails to do so. A large bot
tie costs but $1.25. Loynd's Drug
Store will supply you. Mail orders
accepted. adv

The new figures do not show our

ing to Director julius Klein of the

Commerce, because they do not in
clude shipments valued at less than

at least half a million such ship

hal the cost of compiling the figures
would be excessive and out of pro-
portion to the value of the data thus
collected.
Commenting on the significance of
the new figures, Director Klein
points out hat where formerly the
average American business man con-
sidered foreign sales as same fan

The most gratifying feature If this

opinion, is the fact hat it proves
that the American business man is
at last viewing foreign trade in its
true light-as merely long distance
