Indigestion
May Lead to


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 palpitation of the heart after
eating are some of the most common
symptoms of poor digestion.
If you are subject to any form
stomach distress, don't 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 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

UNCLE WIGGILY AND THE
DUST RAG

. Uncle Wiggily was getting ready
to hop away from his bungalow one
morning, to 90 advcnturing, when he
heard Nurse Jane moving around
in the sitting room.
''This is the day of the week
when she sweeps and moves the fur
niture about said the rabbit gen
tleman to himself. q IN glad | I'm
going out. don't like sweeping
and dusting.N
The rabbit uncle was about to call
good-by to Miss Fuzzy Wuzzy, when
all of a sudden he heard her give a
sort of squeaking sigh and she said.
"Oh / can't do it, ! simply
can t, and what is going to happen
| don't know
Goodness" whispered Uncle
Wiggilv to himself. "This sounds
like trouble and right in my own
bungalow! Well, that s what IN
here for-to help those in trouble,
and, like charity, / must begin at
home.
He opened the door of the sitting
room, where Nurse Jane had been
sweeping, and there Mr.. Longears
saw his muskrat lady housekeeper
sitting in a chair and holding her
head in her paws.
"Why, Nurse Jane! What s the
natter l'' asked the rabbit.

A Rad TEETH PARADE

said, would astonish everybody. In examining many

cent of the boys and 65 per cent of the girls have
"teeth that might be rated as good"
And why do the girls have better teeth than ooys

THE TAX RELIEF

The expiring Congress will be forgiven much, be-
cause it lowered taxes. It's revenue law may pc un-
scientific in principle and wrong in many details Dut
the average taxpayer is not given to close analysis
The law does grant relief to millions Of citizens in
their income tax payments-moderate relief this year
in general cut of 25 per cent and the prospect OF
emf of onehalf or more in next years payments. The
"heher brackets gain little; but the majority are not
much concerned about that.
It would have been better, we'll informed persons
nav admit If Congress had made greater reduction
on the income taxes big fortunes, and coupled II
with legislation to stop the issuance of tax-eXempt
securities. That might have brought under taHatoh
aoa;n a large volume of wealth now escaping the in
come tax and poured into productive enterprise again
hundreds of millions buried in public bonds ana
looical according to economists that it must come
sooner of later.
In the meantime there is a noticeable perkng up
of business because of the general cheeruhess
hv relieving the small tax burdens of the many That
effect may be more psychological than scientific, out
it is an economic fact just the same.

Sentiment is keen to get a new
series started while the delightful
weather lasts, and at least four plans
are suggested.
Plan One-Set a score limit and
each player play a game with any
partner he can arrange with. All
who fall below the score set are elm
mated. Set another and lower score,
those not eliminated play again. And
so on to the last man.
Plan Two-Pair the players as ev-
emily as possible on the basis of their
best scores in the present tourna-
ment. Then pair the winners as ev-
emily as possible. And so on.
Plan Three-Adopt the scheme US
ed in the state basketball tourna-
ment, which in brief is: Using as
many numbers as there are contest
ants pair them by lot. Then number
the games and work out a set sche-
dule, winner of the game so and so
plays winner of game so and so,
making the schedule so that each
contestant has a chance until he has
lost twice. Then by lot assign the
numbers to the different contestants.
Plan Four-Divide the members
into two nearly equal groups. For
instance in group A all whose scores
show they average below SIS, and in
group B all whose scores show they /
average SIS or more. Let each play t
err in each group play one game with
every other member of his group, c
exactly like the play in the baseball /
excepting that one game in S
stead of many is played. Games won Il
determine the rank of players in the
percentage column . Ties to be de- l
cided by another game or by average \
