CORRECTING ACID STOMACH

CORRECTING ACID STOMACH
 The only way to find out whether stomach acidity is hyperchlorhy- dria, that is, excessive secretion of the normal acid of the gastric juice, or fermentative acidity, that is, production of tactic and butyric acids in the undigested or partly digested starches and sugars which undergo fermentation when food remains too long in the stomach as it does when the normal hydro chloric acid secretion is deficient, is by 8 chemical test of the gastric juice or contents taken with stom- ach tube an hour after a simple test meal
 If the acidity is hyderchlorhy- dria, whatever it may indicate, these rules should be obeyed by the suf- ferer:
 l. Avoid all acids such as vine- gar, pickles, sour foods.
 2. Avoid all raw fruit except banana-more about banana pres ently.
 3. Take no soups or meat ex- tractives such aS gravies, consomme or bouillon.
 4. For you all spices or condi- ments are bad medicine-this in- cludes too much salt in or on food, pepper, mustard, hot sauces, catsup
 5. No sweet, no honey, nc 'lasseS, no candy, ana reduce your sugar allowance to one-half the amount you have been taking-in or on any food or drink.
 6. No corn, no nuts, no entire grains, no bran.
 2. No alcohol in any form.
 8. No tobacco.
 Never eat hurriedly, but take time to chew your food well and do not wash down morsels with drink. In the healthy individual an important part of digestion of all carbohy- drate food Sugars and starches) goes on in the mouth, the action of the enzyme ptyalin in the saliva. This continues after the food is swallowed. If the food is gulpeo down without mastication, the stomach and the pancreas have an additional functional burden to carry. If the stomach Is low in acid the undigested starches and sugars undergo fermentation with the formation of gas.
 Persons with hyperacidity should regularly take Ave or six small meals daily, not three large meals Calcium Carbonate Good Antacid
 Preferable to sodium bicarbon- ate (soda, saleratus) or magnesia (milk of magnesia) to neutralize excessive acidity in the stomach and relieve such symptoms as heartburn, waterbrash, or "gas," is prepared chalk, otherwise known as calcium carbonate. It may be obtained in five-grain or ten-grain tablets. Ten grains, best taken crushed to powder, will relieve acid. ity for hours. Take ten grains three or four times day or whenever acidity causes distress.
 Soda reacts with acid in the stomach to produce considerable carbon dioxide, a gas. The by product of this reaction is rather purgative. Magnesia is still more so. Chalk is not purgative-it is commonly used as a mild remedy against diarrhea associated with acidity. Moreover calcium carbon ate disturbs the acid-base balance of the blood and tissues less than soda or magnesia does.

 Every active sportswoman should remember
 To dry her hair as quickly as pos- sible after each swim. If she does her swimming in salt water, she ought to rub tonic into her scalp while hair still is wet, then, when 1t is dry, use a hairbrush energet- ically. Tonic and brushing will re- move every trace of salt and keep the hair st'ny and bright.
 That rather abbreviated, skirtless swim suits and shorts are for the -hipped and slender-legged only.
 To wear a lightweight panty girdle when golfing or riding. That if she plays golf and rides regularly and drives car good deal but never brothers to wear gloves. she'll have callouses on her hands.
 That black is color which doesn't look well with suntanned skin.
 The importance of looking as clean and perfectly groomed when playing her favorite game as she does in street clothes. The fact that one is really good at sport is no excuse for having hair which obviously ought to be shampooed, dirty fingernails cov- cred with clipped polish, a grirny neck or slightly soiled, impressed costume.
 That, regardless of the informal ity of the stacks or dresses she wears about the vacation cottage or farm, it isn't a good idea to shuttle around in broken down shoes with run-over heels and shattered arches. In sports shoes, just as in any other type of shoes, comfortable isn't synonymous with practically worn out" And the shoe which offers no support at all is as bad for ones foot as too-tight shoe.
 The importance of anti-perspir- ants and deodorants. Cts a good idea for any active woman to use an anti-perspirant two or three times a week during summer months.)
 The utter joy of coiffure which can be re-arranged easily after swim or a tennis match.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Sodium Citrate Is Right

Sodium Citrate Is Right When I sent to the drug store for one ounce of citrate of soda, to make up the Fool Proof Cough Med- icine, they sent me sodium citrate I suppose it is the same thing, but want to be sure. (Mrs. T. P.) AnsWer-Yes, sodium citrate is the right name for citrate of soda, just as sodium bicarbonate is the right name for bicarbonate of soda. Sodium citrate was formerly used in the modification of milk for in- fants, so it is pretty safe medi- cine.

the street. Now he is something very different.
 What makes a tattle- tale? Hurt pride, and an effort to reap praise. Also anxiety to hurt others. It is often the case of the stag at bay, taking last stand to save self.
 Now I am not insisting that this short sport has come to his un- enviable state through failure or 1nattention. It happens frequently that an overly -indulged child is tattler But whatever the state of his mind, he THINKS it is neces- sary to elevate himself still more by the lowering of others. And tell ing, as he Supposes, serves two pur- poses; it is not only sinks his rival (the inferior child thinks all other children are rivals), but he hopes to find extra favor in the eyes of his teacher or parent by carrying tales.
 You see, he doesn't know. He is looking from the inside out in stead Of from the outside in He cannot possibly get true picture of himself Quite often the young tale bearer is terribly surprised when he gets hoots and jeers for speaking out of turn.
 One cure, therefore, is time. Once the child gets the idea that it is mean to tell, and that he only loses caste by doing so, he stops running to headquarters. But not so, if he really has streak of saffron in him. The worst of it is that our little tattle-tale gets in his poison under cover of virtue, using his snugness as shining armor.
 Teach Honor Early
 My answer to this is that this child has his counterpart a hun- dredfold Tn the world of grownups There is the incurable gossip, for instance, who whispers the shock ing, and often embroiders his or her news with new meanings. There is the public muck -slinger. Lots of so-called true friends love to hurt and betray.

BOTH LEGISLATORS
OF VANCE ATTEND
White And Peace To Go To
Special Session Of AS
sembly Monday

Senator w. w. White and Repre-
se..4Stive j.. M. Peace members OF
the General Assembly from Vance
county. plan to attend the extra ses-
sion of the legislature called by Gov
ernor Hoey to convene next Monday
to approve bond issues to match Fed
eral aid for an extensive construction
program at State institutions. 1t IS
expected the session will last six days.
or exactly one full week, Monday to
Saturday, inclusive.
This will make the third session of
the legislature to be attended by these
two officials as the result of their
election in 1886. The first was an
extra session called by Governor En-
ringhaus in December, 1886, a few
weeks after the November election.
Then there was the regular session
in the winter of 1887, which lasted less
than three months.
The special session in December.
1886, was a brief one, as this one
will be.
Neither Senator White nor Repre-
sentative Peace will be members of
the 1889 General Assembly. Mr..
Peace was not a candidate to succeed
himself in the House, and the sena-
torship rotated to Warren county for
the next session, which eliminated
Mr.. White. w. A. Hunt, has been
nominated for the House seat, but has
rot been elected and will not be until
the regular general election in Novem-
Der. Frank Gibbs, of Warrenton, will
be the senator from the fourteenth
senatorial district composed of Vance
and Warren counties
