Aciidity
Puts More Persons Con the Spot"
than All the Gangsters in the World!

There's a skulking figure abroad to-
day that lays more men low than all
the guns of gangdom! It's the tnsidt-
Gus demon of ACIDITY! More sin
lister than barking guns, it lays hold
of persons with a Stealthy hand and
often accomplishes untold ruin before
1t is noticed.
Many a rundown condition, many
case of nerves." melancholia, and
mental depression is but a case OF
acidity. For when, as result of our
unnatural living habits, the stomach
Secretes too much acid, it does many
things to us. It causes acid-indiges-
ton, with sour, gaSSy fullness, pain
jul stomach distention, heartburn and
nausea-a condition which in time may
result in an attack of acute indigestion.
The acid sets up fermentation and
putrefaction in the intestines. This
breeds poiSonS which permeate the
whole system. The poisons sap strength
and vitality, make us feel tired all the
time, and blue and discouraged. And
they rag our nerves to the point where
we can't sleep at night, exhausted as
we may be.
The modern and true way to cor
rect acidity is by the release Of active
oxygen within the intestinal tract.
This is now accomplished by an amaz-
ing and harmless white tablet devel-
oped in Germany by the worlds fore

PROTEST ACTION
/ OF TRADE BOARD
Automotiye Association Says
0ut.of.TOWn Talent Was
Used at Dinner.

Protesting that the Board Of Trade
does not practice what it breaches was
made by the Washington Automotive
Trade Association at a meeting last
night at the Racquet Club.
As q result of charges made by Ches-
ter H. Warrington, director, that the
Buy in Washington" creed was over
looked by the ty~NA body when that
association went OUT ., che city to pro-
vide entertainment talent for its re-
cent Midwinter dinner, a letter was
ordered to be written to the Board of
Trade secretary, expressing the opin.
Ions of the local automobile dealers.
Attendance Increase Noted.
Mr.. Warrington stated that more
than 80 per cent of the trade body's
entertainers had been furnished from
New York. He called to the attention
of the automobile dealers that as chair
man Of the Banquet Committee of the
w. A. 7. A. held in December he had
been 100 per cent Washingtonian in
providing talent
Fred L. Halter chairman Of the Show
Committee of the w. A. T. A., reported
that the attendance this year was ii
per cent higher than in 1880 and WASH
ington was the only city on the Allan
tic seaboard to show an increase over
last year.
Robert J. Cottrell, executive of the
Board of Trade, said today:
THE facts actually are that the or
cheStra employed was local orchestra;
that the soprano was local singer;
that the duo-Bill Raymond and Fred
East-are local singers; that Miss Mil
dred Miller is also a local singer; that
Miss Bobbie Dulin is local dancer; that
the Baltimore & Ohio Glee Club is as
much local to Washington as anywhere,
and is constantly used by local organi-
cations; that the entire scenic effects,
decorations, ETC., were not only bought
locally, but were designed and painted
for the occasion by local people.
Position Is Defended.
"As for other acts in the dinner which
supplemented the program, the board
did no more than other organizations
are doing, and as q matter of fact the
board has presented practically all Of
the desirable local talent heretofore and
did not want to be placed in the posi-
ton of presenting entirely the same peo-
pie on the program over and over again
every year.
'As for buying in Washington, the
Board of Trade Is consistently adhering
to this policy as is evidenced by the
fact when 1t was reconStructing its new
quarters at the cost of about $4,000 it
turned down outside bidders who offered
TO do the work considerably cheaper in
order that the entire equipment and
work should be done by local people. All
its supplies and its purchases through
out the year are confined to Washing
eonians."

Confident of Win in

BY GEORGE H. BEALE

United Press STAFF Correspondent
PASADENA, Cal, Dec. 29.-The
particular brand of enthusiasm
that permits the Southern Califor-
MAN to become a rabid booster of
local products has been turned on
the Kew Years day football game
with the likely result that Southern
California will be favored heavily
over Tulane university Friday.
A definite trend in that direction
was noted today in a survey of bet
ting commissioners, all Of whom re-
ported that, despite records of the
respective contenders, money was
being offered on Southern Califor-
mia at increasingly longer odds.
May Go Higher
Where two days ago the coast
conference champions were backed
to win by seven points at even
money, thirteen points were being
offered today, with the indication
the scale would go up if the weather
clears.
The fact Tulane swept indicated

Southern california enthusiasm.
The same trend to Southern Cali

such impressive record as has Tu-
lane and those who watched the
Bulldogs in practice felt their lack
OF weight made it certain they could
not stop the heavy Trojans.

However, it is even probable
Coach Bernie Bierman's line will
outweigh the Trojan forwards from

Western writer's were impressed in
the short glimpse they had Of the
Tulane team in practice. Southern
California should be slight favor
lite, but certainly there is no reason
