Stomach Ulcers Formula
Attracts Much Attention
Scientific Focts Of Hyperocidc Conditions Made Known

Four important functions should be
obtained to help conditions Of this
kind: u) excessive acid must be re-
duced. ~ protective coating over
stomach walls prevents irritation, pro-
notes healing, (3) elimination aided,
az proper foods taken. This is ex-
actly what the Toma Tablets course
endeavors to do. If you suffer from
stomach ulcers, gastritis, gas pains,
heartburn, indigestion, dyspepsia, con-
stipation and associated conditions in
ddeed by hyperacidity, investigate the
Toma Tablet course. as it is proving a
palliative and symptomatic aid for
these conditions. Toma Tablets are
recommended as a course to take con-
sistently according to directions, over
a reasonable period, as well as adhering
to the food suggestions included with
each bottle. Thousands Of sufferers

only since the entry of the
Federal Government into this
field through the organization
of the Federal zIome Loan Bank
system and the insurance of mort
cages by the FE1A that the 20
year amortized first-mortgage
loan has come into favor. Europe
on the other hand, with more ex-
perience and a more stable popula-
tion and values to deal with, has
found it sound practice to lend
for much longer periods.
In France it is possible to bro

In the cheaper type Of houses
and apartments built or subsidized
in part by European governments
for low-income workers, bathrooms
are sometimes missing, and in the
big municipal apartments in
Vienna there is no central heating,
the tenants being supplied with
coke-burning stoves.
In most of Europe'S large7scale
housing projects there is gas or
electricity for lighting, and al
ways running water. This in it
self represents a considerable ad-
vance over pre-war conditions as
found in the dwellings of the work
ing classes.
Rents are below even the lowest
American levels. Governmental
subsidies account for this in part.
In Austria the unemployed are
permitted to rent newly con-
structed dwellings for $1.87 q
month. The municipal apartments
in Vienna rent for from $1.15 to
$3.50 at the maximum. No profit
or return on invested capital is
figured in these rentals.
In the government-aided houses
and apartments in Paris the lowest
rent is 1852 per room yearly or
SO a month. From this the rents
run up to a peak of 1853 year,
approximately $55 a month, for
four rooms, kitchen and bath.
German rents in public housing
projects range from $10.89 a month
for two rear rooms without bath,
to $16.13 for three rooms and
kitchen.
In the garden cities outside Of
Berlin, workers may buy new
houses for down payment of
$201.60, with 40 years or more
in which to pay the remainder.
Stockholm has solved the low
cost housing problem by acquir-
ing large areas of farm land be-
yopd the city limits, and holding
this in reserve until it becomes
desirable for building sites. The
city then arrangeS with the
prospective home owner to pro-
vide most of the rough and
skilled labor under expert super
vision, and when the dwelling is
complete the land on which it
stands is leased to the builder
for go years, with the privileges
Of renewal.
Although interest rates on real
estate loans are not low, rang
ing from to 8 per cent, Euro

payment period in the case of
home mortgages than has been

Long Loan Periods

Prior to the 1929 debacle 1t

demned for treason in the Moscow
conspiracy trial.
The executions were thought to
have been carried out during the
night after their appeals for par
dons had been rejected.
The pardon pleas were turned
down by the presidium Of the Gen.
tral Executive Council. Under Or
dinary procedure, the executions
would take place in secret some
time between this rejection and
midnight tonight.
The exact manner in which
Soviet executions are carried out
is not known 10 Cle fCuSSAdu pun
lie, because the criminal code is
silent on this subject and wit
nesses are not allowed to attend
executions.
This secrecy is explained by
Soviet officials on the grounds
that executions are 'barbarouS

lie is never informed until after
the death sentence has been exc
cuted.

One of the most miraculous rescues
in the history OF aviation was part OF

as it gained altitude, watchers saw the
landing gear drop. The ship vanished
in fog.
Suspense soon became doubt and.
within FIVE days, hope for the flyers
was abandoned. King George even
sent condolences TO Mrs. Hawler
But three days later the steamer Mary
radioed from of the coast Of Scotland
that the flyers were safe aboard They
had been picked UP 1850 miles out Of
Newfoundland q week before.
The flyers told this story of their trip:
The water In their planes radiator
had boiled away and after shutting Of
the motor, the flyers found that bits OF
solder had clogged the cooling SYSTEM
AT 100 feet above the ocean Hawker
switched the ignition on again. but the
engine failed to start until the craft was
about to plunge into the water. The

soon boiled again

sighted ahead turned out to be ship,
they circIed three times and landed

Three months after Lindberghs flight,

tant, was the goal of his nonstop flight.
His route lay over the Caribbean Sea

Last sighted by ship several hum
dred miles north Of the South Amer
ican mainland, Redfern never was heard
of again, except in the aforementioned
legends Rescue parties sought him as
recently as last year, confident that ne
was forced down in Brazil. and that he
still lives.
Less hope is held for the celebrated
