Many people, two hours after eat ing, suffer indigestion as they cali 1t. It is usually. excess acid. Correct 1t with an alkali. The best way, the quick, harmless and efficient way, is Phillips Milk of Magnesia. It has remained for 50 years the standard with physicians. One spoonful in
 water neutralizes many times it's volume in stomach acids, and at once. The symptoms disappear in five minutes.
 You will never use crude methods when you know this better method. And you will never suffer from ex- cess acid when you prove out this easy relief. Please do thnt--for your own sRke--ncw.

INDUSTRY.
OUTLOOK SEEN
BRIGHTER
Trade Earnings Increasing
and Economies Effective,
Says Standard Statistics
By THE SPECTATOR

NEW YORK, July 2.-The out
look for the motion picture indus.
try has taken on a much brighter
hue, according to the latest sur
vey of this field just completed
by Standard Statistics.
It points out that certain con-
Structive accomplishments have
been witnessed recently, incluoing
large reductions in salaries,
sharply lower expense in picture
production, and similar retrench.
ments which have effected note
worthy savings.
Earnings Are Better
In addition, trade earnings, al
though considerably below those
Of the previous year, are max
ing an appreciably better show
ing than aggregate corporation
profits.
The first quarter income of
threee leading amusement COM
panies was 80 per cent lower than
in the initial 1880 period, as com
pared with a So per cent decline
for 248 industrial companies.
With the industry now in its
period of seasonal dullness. it is
the belief of this authority that
the bottom will be reached this
summer, and that subsequent i'm
provement should be accompanied
by an appreciable gain in profits.
Therefore it is held that con-
sideration may now be given to
the purchase of the more con-
servative motion picture issues,
with Scale-down accumulation fav-
ored in Radio-Keith, Paramount
and Loew's.
DeflatiOn Features
Assuming that the lows OF
June 2 marked the bottom of the
long bear market, it is now
POSSIBLE to look back and take
cognizance of the severe price
deflation that has taken place
since August 80, 1929.
A brokerage house analysis dis
closes that copper stocks lost S2.2
per cent in that period; amuse-
ments 1871 per cent; railroad
equipments, 67.8 per cent; steels,
67.2 per cent; chemicals. 81 per
cent; electrical equipments, 66.9
per cent; oils. 65.2 per cent:
motors. 63.9 per cent; stores, 63.2
per cent: rails, 60.6 per cent;
industrials. 81 per cent; utilities.
