The Toll Acidity Takes

When you go to bed dog-tired and
still can't sleep and you rise in the
morning more tired than when you
went to bed, it's a sign you're
"acid." Excess acid, formed in the
stomach as result of our unnatural
eating habits, causes acid-indiges-
ton with gas, Sourness and burn
ing and sets up poisonous putrefac-
ton in the gastro-intestinal canal
which saps our strength and vitality
and so taxes our nerves that we
can't sleep at night or work efficient
ly during the day.
Magnesia Oxoids, developed in
Germany by famous. 100-year-old
pharmaceutical house, corrects acid
ity in the right wayI Upon contact
with the acid in the stomach, Mag
nesia Oxoids generate nascent, or
active, oxygen. The "live" oxygen
stimulates the alkaline gastric mucous,
checks putrefaction in the gastro-
intestinal canal and stimulates the
activities of the intestinal walls
which aids the natural movement
of the bowels. All three effects are
necessary to the true correction of
acidity.

GOLD TRAIL OF 40 IS URGED
AS NICARAGUA CANAL ROUTE
Col. Sultan Ready to Make
Report on Project After
TWo-Year Study.
Declares Construction Feast
BILE and Puts Cost Roughly
at S750,000,000.

The trail the Forty-niners followed
in their quest for gold is the route
mapped by Army Engineers as the best
for the proposed Nicaraguan canal.
Returning to Washington after
two-year study of the project at the
head of an Army group, Lieut.. Col. Dan
I. Sultan today said canal is entirely
feasible from a construction viewpoint.
He estimated it could be built ct a
cost, roughly, of $75C,000,000, over the
line he and his associates have de-
cided would be preferable.
The proposed route, which will be
explained in report to the next Con-
greSS differs in details from any pre-
viously suggested and is material
improvement over others, in Col. SUI
tans opinion.
Across its miles of water and jungle,
rude boats and wagons comprising a
transportation system created by Cor

of the Vanderbilt fortune, transported
from thu East men lured by the gold
of the West more than 80 years ago.

the shores.

traversing the tortuous windings of the
San Juan River for its whole distance,
would go but part way, then cut straight
across country.
On the other side the canal would
follow the Los Lajos River out of the
lake, then into the Rio Grande, with
the Pacific terminus at Brito. Both Los
Lajcs and Rio Grande are little more
than rivers in name, being dry in sea-
son.
Col. Sultan said that at no place
would 1t be necessary to make a cut
as deep as that at Culebra, in the Pan
anna Canal Nor would there be danger
Of slides, he says adding that drilling
has disclosed solid foundation.
A presidential commission of which
Col. Sultan is member will make rec
concentrations as to the building of the
canal, the Army man explained, but
when it prepares to make its recommen-
dations, he added, the question before

sary or desirable right now, but what
the need will be Is years from now.

Completion Needs Is Years.
Even when the canal may be author

gotiation of the necessary treaties, and
10 years for the actual building
SO you have to guess what the sit
uation will be in Is years when you
get into this matter. and that is going

pointed out in this connection that in
