Rotarians Discuss

The meeting Of the Rotary club

needs Of the city and he was fol-
lowed By John Macarthur. These
men are we'll Informed upon the
uses OF water and manner In which
II has to be handled in this locality
and their talks were not only inter
esting but educational. BY the use
OF the irrigation system. the resi-
dents Of the city use too much water
for their gardens and lawns with
the result that the sewers are over
bsrdaaeA and cellars and ram pits
are flooded. Open irrigation bitches
are not desirable from a health
standpoint and sub-irrigation is not
the best way to make lawns. This
suggests the possibility Of installing
q city water system and diversion OF
the present canals to a more remot&
distance from the city. Such 4
change would OF course entail q
heavy expense. but under present
conditions the necessity Of q system
OF covered drains becomes apparent.

Operated On For
Appendicitis
FUNERAL ARRANGEMENTS TO
BE ANNOUNCED LATER

Many times, no doubt you have
seen the above headline in your
newspaper. Very often it has told
of some friend suddenly stricken
with dread appendicitis. The news
papers, however, neglect to state
that appendicitis is usually preccd-
ed by stomach trouble. They don t
tell you that the afflicted person
suffered frequent. attacks of heart
burn long before he went to the
hospital.
While heartburn is not always II
sign of an inflamed appendix, it is
always warning that something is
wrong In many cases it results
from indigestion, which is one Of
the predisposing causes of appen-
dicitis.
If you suffer from burning,
gnawing sensation in the stomach,
excessive gas, sour stomach, nausea
or other distress after eating, go at
once and obtain bottle of Smith
Bros. NJ. a, C., the guaranteed
stomach treatment. This pleasant
harmless liquid rids the stomach of
catarrhal mucus, allays infIamma-
tion, helps digestion and clcanses
the bowels of poisonous waste mat
ters. Price $L25. Money back if
the first bottle does not relieve.
