ACID IN STOMACH
 SOURS THE FOOD
Says Excess Of Hydr0chiOric Acid is
 Cause Of Indigestion

A Well-known authority states that stomach troubles and indigcs- lion are nearly always due to acidity -acld stomach-and not, as most folks believe, from q lack of diges- tive juices, He states that an cx- cess of hydrochlorc acid in the S'omach retards digestion and starts food fermentation; then our meals sour like garbage in a can. forming acrid fluids and gasc, which inhatc lhr stomach like toy balloon. We then get that heavy, lumpy feeling in the chest, we cructate sour food, -htich gas or have heartburn, iiatulcnct, Watcr-b -brash or nausea.
 He tells Us 10 lay aside all digcs- live aids and instead get from any pharmacy four ounces of lad Salts and take a teaspoonful in glass of water before breakfast while it is effcrvescing, and furthermore, 10 continue this for one week. While rNnG often foHows the first dose. it Is ihporianL to ncutralize the HcIdity, remove the gas-making IHss. start tlre liver, stimulate the kidneys and thus promote a pure flow of pure digestive juices.
 lad Salts is inexpensive and is maI" from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia and sodium phosphate, This harm less salts is used by thousands of stomach sufferers with excellent re- suits.

BINGHAM PUT ON
 FIVE COMMITTEES
Mclean Retains Important Posts
 and Gets Another
Bi GEORuE Il, MANNING. Washington Bureau ot N, u, lleraldl

Washington. D. C.. March r. Senator Hiram Bingham of Connec- tlcut will hold some important com mlttec places in this congress, es- pecially Influential considering that he is practically new member, il was disclosed when the senate com mitteG on committees this afternoon announced the committee assign ments of senators for the 69th con- gress.
 Senator George P. Mclean re- tains the important committee places he held in the last congress, that Of chairman of the committee on bank ing and currency, and membership on the finance and foreign relations committees, but gives up place on territories and insular possessions to get seat on the manufacturers committee, 6 more important posi- ton.
 Senator Bingham retains his place on military affairs to which he was assigned as soon as he entered the seat two months ago, and has been given also membership on com merce, immigration, education and labor, and the committee on terri tories and insular affairs.
 Because of his knowledge of aVia- ton Senator Bingham has in the two short months of his service here, already become one of the most in nuential members of the military af- fairs committee, and his advice re- garding the most important factor today in military science is constant Iy sought by the committee mem- bers and other members of the sen- ate.
 The commerce committee. one Of the others to which Senator Bing- nam is assigned handles rivers and harbors legislation, building or bridges across navigable streams and many other matters of legislation Of commercial nature.
 Senator Bingham was put on the education and labor committee in recognition of his capacity and eX- pcricnce along educational lines through years Of work at Yale.
 With the two Connecticut senator's holding between them places of nine of the most important committees or the senate the interests of the state seem certain of being fully cared for during the G9th congress which runs until March 4. 1927.
