 Washington, D.

Jones, acting prohibition com missioner.
 The present systems in Connecticut appears to be working satisfactorily, Mir. Jones said, in reference to the rumor that the present system is to be upset, and an experiment made with the plan which has been put into effect in Pennsylvania and New York.
 The plan of enforcing the prohi- hition law in Pennsylvania and New York, Mir. Jones said. was unlike the system in Connecticut; but consist cd of detailing q number of agents to the field working on direct detail and orders from Washington instead of being responsible to a state di- rector as in Connecticut.

ACID IN STOMACH
 SOURS THE FOOD
Says Excess of Hydrochloric Acid Is
 Cause of Indigestion

A well-known authority states that stomach trouble and indigestion are nearly always due to acidity-- acid -stomach-and not, as most folks believe, from lack of diges- tice juices, He states that an excess of hydrochloric acid in the stomach retards digestion and starts food fermentation; then our meals sour like garbage in can, forming acrid fluids and gases, which infiate the stomach like toy balloon. We then get than heavy, lumpy feeling in the chest, we eructate sour food, belch gas or have heartburn, flatulence, water-brash or neusea.
 He tells us to lay aside all diges- tive aids and instead get from any pharmacy four ounces of lad Salts and take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast, while it is effervescing, and furthermore, to continue for one week. While relief often follows the first dose, it is i'm portant to neutralize the acidity, re- move the gas-making mass, start the liver, stimulate the kidneys and thus promote a free flow of purse di- gestive juices.
 lad Salts is inexpensive and Is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lthia and sodium phosphate. This harm less salts is used by thousands of stomach sufferers with excellent re- suits,

DREADNOUGHT ERA
 IS SLOWLY PASSING
New ships For British Navy Arc Floating Forrcsscs and Airdsmes Combined.
Combined,

London, Jan. l0.-The design ot the hattleships Nelson and Rodney TOW being built by Great Britain nn- der the provisions of the Washing ion naval treaty, is so revolutionary according to the Daily Express, that Il marks the end of the dreadnought era just as the drcadnought5 marked the end of previous types.
 The new ships will be entirely dlt- fcrent from any others in the Worl1' the paper says. They will be both floating fortresses and airdromHS' ard will have a radius of action coI- ering thousands of miles, Nine It. inch guns will be mounted on each in three turrets, all forward. mere will be no guns on the after part, which will constitute flight deck, and the ships will carry their own flying corps and planes.
 Another feature, the Express Sa'S' is that there probably will be no tunnels, the products of the fur naces being discharged through pipes running alongside to the stern,
 The distribution of the armor will also be revolutionary. The magazines. like the guns, being all forward, the usual armor belt oX- tending from three parts of the ships length will be unnecessary, and the wright saved on the sides can be added to the deck protection against high angle fire and aerial bombs. There will also possibly be more than one armored deck, thus giving successive means of protcc- tion.
