ACID IN STOMACH
S0URS THE FOOD
Says Excess of HydrochIoric
Acid is Cause of
Indigestion.

A well-known authority states
that stomach trouble and indiges-
ton are nearly always due to
acidity-acid stomachs-and not, as
most folks believe, from a lack of
digestive juices. He states that an
excess of hydrochlOric acid in the
stomach retardS digestion and starts
food fermentation: then our meals
sour, forming acrid fluids and
gases, which initiate the stomach
like a 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 diges-
tive aids and instead get from any
pharmacy four ounces of Jad Salts
and take a tablespoonful in a glass
of water before breakfast, while it
is effervescing, and furthermore, to
continue this for one week. While
relief often follows the first dose,
it is important to neutralize the
acidity, remove the gas-making
mass, start the liver, stimulate the
kidneys and thus promote a free
flow of pure digestive juices.
Jad 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
resultS.-Advertisement.

for q moment he'd lost his reason.
But pretty soon the significance
of it daWned on him; and 1 can see
him grinning to himself. Obviously
he knew who the murderer vast

with his character had he failed to
learn the identities of the Canary'S

"And now there had fallen into
his lap, like mama from heaven,

doubtless INDUCED himself with
roseate visions of a life of opulence
and ease at Spotswoode's expense.

minutes later, he merely said the

himself had produced the record

he did. Spotswoode no doubt gave
him something on account and
promised him the rest anon, hoping

when he failed TO pay, Skeel
phoned you and threatened to tell
everything, thinking to spur Spots
woode to action.

over the money, but, instead, throt-

THE whole thing it's amaz-

Il shouldn't say that, now. Spots
woode had an unpleasant task to
perform, and he set about 1t in a

HE had decided that his little
Canary must die for his peace of

"And do you think it's ethics or

Perjury Case.

Verdict in the trial of Otis j.
Briggs, former head of the College
of Drugless Physicians, on charge
Of subornation of perjury in connec-

Criminal Judge James A. Collins,
who heard the case.
Briggs defense was completed late
Wednesday. He was the only defense
witness to take the stand. although
his attorney, H. B. Pike, said several
others could have been used.
On the stand Briggs denied that
he ever saw Henrietta Sing, Green's

dates. She had contradicted her
former testimony of Saturday in
that she said she had never talked
with Briggs. She said before she
had talked to him twice.
Judge Collins said from the bench
that "the school was undoubtedly a

Woode was standing with one arm
on the switchboard when the
screams were heard.
"He merely had his eye on his

the cry, he calculated the intermis-
sion on the record, and put his
question to the imagin'ry lady at
just the right moment to receive the

beforehand; he no doubt rehearsed
it in his laborat'ry. 1t was deuced
simple, and practically proof against
failure.

and it requires about five minutes
for the needle to traverse it.
by putting the screams at the
end, he allowed himself ample time
to get out and order taxicab.

rode direct to the StuyveSant Club,
where he met Judge Redfern and
played poker till three.
eff he hadn't met the Judge, rest

his presence on some one else so as
to have established an alibi."
Markham shook his head gravely.

Great ACE OF
MAN SHOWN BY
FLORIDA Bones
Lived in America 100000
Years Ago, Deposits
Prove.
Ru Science Serpice

By Science Seruice
WASHINGTON, May 18.-Human
beings lived on this continent during
the first interglacial period, about
100000 years ago, DR.. Oliver P. Hay,
paleontologist of the United States
National Museum, thinks. In lee
ture here he laid before an audience
of biologists and other scientists his
reasons for assigning so great an
age to man in America.
The human bones and man-made
implements found in Florida are as
sociated with the remains Of extinct
animals known to have existed dur
ing the so-called Aftonian time, DR.
Hay stated. These animals included
a very primitive type of elephant,
q giant beaver, an enormous arma-
dillo-like creature, several species of
horses and camels. There were also
numerous animals of species still
living.
No Sign Of Evolution
Three times after this period the
ice advanced and reiterated again,
over the northeastern section of the
continent, and with each advance a
number of the animal species be-
came extinct. The surviving animals
showed no changes; in fact, DR.. Hay
states, there has been no detachable
evolution in any mammal since the
beginning of the glacial period.
sDr. Hay bases his belief in the
great antiquity of man in America
on the high proportion of extinct
species represented among the foS-
sis in the Florida diggings. The
older the stratum, the higher the
percentage of extinct species to be
found in it, he declares; and the
Florida collections show far more
extinct species than the later inter-
glacial strata show anywhere else
in the world.
Man Unchanged
DR.. Hay also is inclined to disa-
gree with the opinion held by some
andSloropologistS, that man has
evolved rapidly during the last 1OO,-
900 years or so, passing through the
low-browed Neanderthal stage on
the way.
Inasmuch as the bones Of all other
creatures now living are indistin-
guishable from fossil remains of the
same species nearly half a million
years old, it is hard to see, he says,
why man alone should have under
gone such radical physical changes.
He more is inclined to regard Mean
derthal man has a separate species
that became extinct, and to hold
that man of essentially modern
type, SO far as his physical makeup
is concerned, runs back indefinitely
toward the beginning of glacial time.
