Says Indigestion Results

Undigested food delayed in the
stomach decays, or rather fermentS,
the same as food left in the open
air, says a noted authority. He also
tells us that Indigestion is caused
by hyperacidity meaning there is
an excess of hydrochloric acid in the
stomach which prevents complete
digestion and starts food fermenta-
ton. Thus everything eaten sours
In the stomach, forming acrid fluids
and gases which initiate the stomach
like a toy balloon. Then we feel a
heavy, lunpy misery in the chest:
we belch up gas; we eructate sour
food or have heartburn, flatulence,
water-bruSh 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 glass
of water before breakfast and drink
it while it is effervescing, and fur
therlnore, to continue this for q
week. While relief often follows the
first dose, it Is important to help
neutralize the acidity, remove the
gas-making mass. start the liver,

campaign fodder for Walter Myers,
candidate for the Democratic nom
tnation for United States Senator, in
a singing address here Wednesday
night.
His lawyers tried on him the
statute of limitations and it fit like
a glove" Myers said. Luckily his
lawyers were tWo-fiSted men, for as
soon as the trial was over they had
to fight with might and main to
keep the Governor off the witness
stand
But they bravely took their lives
IN their hands and made a motion
to direct verdict at the close Of
the States evidence. Although the
Governor is a lawyer himself, the
carklny cares of State must have
made him forget that the same kind
OF motion could be made at the con-
cluSlon Of all the evidence after he
had testified.
Myers declared Democrats and Re
publ1cans alike had been ignored
and deceived by gang politicians
The same gang that nominated
jackson in a field of six. elected

to it that Arthur Robinson was an

when Ralston died. The same gang
elected Duvall mayor and six of their
crowd to The council in Indianapolis
Today five of that six are under in
dlctment and DuvaI has been found
guilty of violating the corrupt

THE same gang made Clyde Walb

George V. Coffin the chairman in

the Federal banking laws and Coffin
was honored by being indicted along

Johns drawing is somewhat COM
plicated, but it seems that the man
shoots the gun, bullet A striking
plate B, tips candle G, burning
string D, which causes ball E to fall
and tip water container F, allowing
water to run over man through con-
tainer G and H. The glasses and
spat have nothing to do with the
shower bath.
Drawings do not have to be quite
so complicated as this one to win

better. All you are asked to do is
explain some crazy invention or con-
trivance in such way that 1t can
