To AlkaIize
Acid Indigestion
Away Fast

The way to gain almost incredibly
quick relief, from stomach condition
arising from overacidity, is to aka
lie the stomach quickly with Phil
lips Milk of Magnesia.
You take either two teaspoons of
the liquid Phillips after meals; or
two Phillips Milk of Magnesia Tab
lets. Almost instantly "acid indiges-
ton" goes, gas from hyperacidity,
"acid headaches''-from over-in-
diligence in food or smoking - and
nausea are relieved. You feel made
over; forget you have a stomach.
Try this Phillips way if you have
any acid stomach upsets. Get either
the liquid Phillips or the remark
able, new Phillips Milk of Magnesia
Tablets. Only 25t for a big box of
tablets at drug stores.

AbELL SEEKS
SONS CUSTODY
IN D. C. suit
Writer Files Action
Against Ex-Wife

George Abel, well-known news
paper writer, today asked the
United States District Court for
permanent custody Of his five-year-
old son, Tylor Abel, central figure
in an international episode last
summer when his former wife,
Mrs. Luvie Moore Pearson, wife of
Drew Pearson, noted columnist,
kidnapped" the child while he and
Abel were on a European tour.
The Pearsons, who reside at
1920 Dumbarton Ave. N. w., re-
turned to the United States imme-
diately after they seized the child
on the Island Of Sark. just off the
coast Of England, and were fol-
lowed here by Abel, who declared
that he would appeal to the courts
to regain custody Of the boy.
AGREEMENT CITED
Abel and his former wife were
married In Switzerland in 1880 and
took up their residence here in the
same year. Differences arose be-
tween them, he tells the court to
day through Attorney George D.
Horning, and on October 10, 1884.
they entered into a separation
agreement. A later agreement on
February %, 1885, as well as the
earlier one, provided for equal di'
vision Of the custody of the boy,
with Abel to have him from May
is until November Is each year,
with the right Ct each party to
visit him when he was in the
others custody.
The former Mrs. Abel obtained
a Reno divorce IN April, 1885, &C
cording to the suit filed today, and
the decree ratified the two separa-
ton agreements.
Abel says that Mrs. Pearson
turned the boy over to him, &C.
cording to the terms Of the de-
cree, and later in the summer he
permitted his ex-wife to take the
child with her to visit relatives
in New Mexico after they had
virtually agreed to reconcilia-
ton and remarriage.
Before he had recovered from
the effects of an operation, Abel
says that his former wife married
Drew Pearson and the newlyweds
took his son to Europe on their
honeymoon. He was unable to
see his son until June % this
year, he said, and that was after
Mrs. Pearson had appealed to the
Reno courts to modify her divorce
decree, giving her exclusive Gus
tody and control Of the child.
PLANNED TO REWED
Abel countered this move with
a habeas corpus petition in the
local courts, and at the same time
contested his wife's action in
Reno. Since he was unable to
obtain service of his habeas corpus
writ on his former wife here,
Abel went to Reno and during
the court contest there made a
new agreement with his ex-wife,
to which he was an unwilling
marty, under which she was to
have the child for 1O1a months
each year and the father would
have him from July / until August
is each year, with the further
provision that the child should not
be taken out of the United States
by either party without consent
of the other.
Justice Daniel w. O'Donoghue
signed a temporary order, effective
until October 20, enjoining Mrs.
Pearson from removing the child
from the District.
