ACID IN STOMACH
 SOURS THE FOOD
Says Excess of Hydrochloric Acid Is Cause of Indiges-
 tion

A well-known auth ority states that stomach trouble and indigestion are nearly always due to acidity-acid stomach-and not, as most folks be- ieve, from lack of digestion juices. He states that an excess of hydro chloric acid in the stomach retards digestion and starts food fermenta- ton; then our meals sour like garbage in can, forming acrid fluids and gases, which infate the stomach like toy balloon. We then get that heavy, lumpy feeling in the chest. we eructate sour food, belch gas or have heartburn, flatulence, water-brash or nausea.
 He tells us to lay aside all di- gestive aids and instead get from any pharmacy four ounces of lad Salts and take a tablespoonful in a galss of water before breakfast. while it is eefervescing, and further more. to continue this for one week. While relief often follows the first dose, 1t is important to neutraIize the acidity, remove the gas-making mass, start the liver. stimulate the kidneys and thus promote a free flow of pure digestive juices.
 lad Salts is inexpensive and Is made 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.

 Keeping busy seems to be his own private formula for happiness. On birthdays 1t Is different. Then he can be found usually in hls library Of morning, taking a walk in the afternoon and celebrating at a little dinner with his family in the eve ming, If the day Is stormy, he nuts on heavy overcoat and walks any how.
 It is little more than 25 years since he became President McKin- ley's secretary of war, going, as he says, Ito preform a lawyers duty upon the call of the greatest of all our clients, the government of our country" He had then ahead of him service as secretary of state and sem ator, and host of distinguished &C., complishments in and out of office.
 All those things before 1915 when he reached the limiting age of Ithree-score years and ten Since that age, however. he presided over the New York constitutional con- Ivention, was president of the Amer ican Bar Association, was special ambassador to Russia, drafted the plan for the Permanent Court Of In- ternational Justice for the League of Nations, and gave his active atten- ton 10 dozens of organizations and movements as president, director or | trustee.
 Blot out the mental picture of an octogenarian and look at Elihu Root as he may be seen some night on a every week and several nights on a normal week.
 A straight, shapely, vigorous, gen ial patrician in evening clothes, he sits at the head of a banquet table There Is no senile bussiness over the good food. no trembling of the match as he lights his long cigar, nc hands to the ear as he follows the speakers, no implied begging of odds on account of his years. There Is a delicacy in his features, accented by the suggestion of bangs" In his ose-cut, white-gray hair. but 1t Is the keen delicacy of steel.
 He speaks with fire and pointed ness and humor. He fences with the toastmaster in extemporaneous quips reminisces perhaps about what Doug Fairbanks one said when they met at the Hague. reveals speak ing knowledge of whatever Is the occasion of the meeting. be it medi- cine, art, education, sport or what mot. In the end he gets around tc real ideas of originality, depth and ,consequence.
 1 A year and a half ago England was eager for the honor of receiv' ing him as ambassa dor, not because of his age nor in spite of 1t, but fol the distinction and wisdom tht years had brought to this perenni ally vigorous spirit.
