ACID STOMACHS ARE DANGEROUS A I*lij'Nioijin'M Advloe on Cause nnri Cure A New York Physician wao has made I a special study of stomach and intes tinal diseases says that nearly all in testinal troubles, as well as many dis eases of the vital organs, are directly traceable to a deranged condition of the stomach. This in turn is due about nine times out of ten to excessive acid- I ity, commonly termed sour stomach or [ heartburn, which not only irritates and ; inflames the delicate lining of the stom- I ach but also may set up gastritis and'! in a large majority of cases gastric j ulcers are accompanied by hyperacidity. It is interesting to note that he con demns the use of patent medicines, and practically all medical treament tnat is, designed to act upon the stomach lin ing, stating that the best results are obtained by the use of a simple ant- I ncid which acts upon the contents of 1 the stomach and neutralizes the acidity 1 of the food thus removing the source , of the trouble. As an antacid he pre scribes ordinary bisurated magnesia and says that Irritating medicines and i medical treatments are useless, so long j as the contents of the stomach remains j acid; remove the acidity and there will be no need for medicine —the in- i tlamed lining of the stomach will then | heal itself. Sufferers from acidity, sour | stomach and heartburn should get a I small bottle of bisurated magnesia I from their druggist, and take a tea- I spoonful in a quarter of a glass of hot j or cold water after each meal, repeat ing in fifteen minutes, if necessary, this being the dose which the doctor has j found most efficacious in all cases.— | Advertisement. GENTLE RUBBING HELPS VARICOSE VEINS Rubbing the swollen veins nightly for j about two minutes with a gentle up- ! ward stroke bring benefits to suffer ers and is mighty good advice, says an j authority. After the rubbing, which should always be toward the heart, because tho blood in the veins flows that way, apply Kmerald Oil (full strength) with brush or hand. Try the simple home treatment for a few days and improvement will bo no ticed. then continue until veins are re duced to normal. It is very concen trated and penetrating and can be ob tained at any modern drug store. It is so powerful that it also reduces Goitre and Wens. All druggists have Emerald Oil in the original bottle and will be ; glad to supply it.—Advertisement. 00 YOU KNOW YOUR HUSBAND always requests his barber to use CLOYERINE TALCUM on hie face after shaving?

McCann.) J, CHAPTER 14 "Dust thou art and unto dust thou shalt return" as a law of life, not a symbol of death. Dr. Slade, continuing his comments upon the disturbing results of the ex amination of the health of the em ployes of the New York City Depart ment of Health, said: "The last ten yearß have recorded a steady reduction In the general death rate in all ages under forty years, but there has been a simultaneous In crease In the death rate between forty and sixty years, due largely to diges tive, circulatory, and kidney diseaess. "Our Investigation shows that the extension to the community at large of the plan now begun by the New York Department of Health In safe guaiding the health of Its employes would add several years to the life of the average individual. "Furthermore, in view of the sur prising increase In the adult death rate, it would add to the most effi cient years of life." Certain it is that all these infirmi ties fower efficiency, and for this rea son public school boards are ordering operations upon Bome children's throats, are removing adenoids, are correcting defective Vision for others, are doing denfal work, providing ■nurses, furnishing meals at cost price for others. A few of them are send ing cards of Instruction on hygiene and diet to parents. The charge for all these services is borne by the com munity. "If the work were not done under school direction it apparently would not be done at all. The State in these instances exercises vast and elastic powers in the regulation of public health and education. "The great question is: 'Why does not the State make an attempt to get at the real cause of these diseases and instruct the people how to remove the cause?' " It is the purpose of these words to set down in unvarnished speech a number of common but deadly sins of diet, ignorance, or disregard of which can end only in disease. Our object Is to put in plain form the principles of life BO that they may be understood and heeded by parent and child. If it can be said that the home is the cradle of the nation, it can be said more truthfully that the pantry is the cradle of the home. Facts will be revealed to you here concerning the. nation's crimes against its wheat, corn, rice, barley and rye; against its biscuits, crackers, cakes, and breadstuffs; against its milk, but ter, eggs, meat, products, poultry, and fish; ajjainst its molasses, condiments, Flower-Studed Armlet or Anklet, Society's New Fad New York The latest feminine craze is so effective, yet simple and inexpensive an addition to the evening toilet that it is being universally adopted. It consists simply of a band of ferns set off with a red rose, or if desired tha wearer's favorite flower. This decorative flower jewelry is worn about the curve of the upper arm which is left uncovered in all its natural beauty. Just imagine a perfectly formed arm. Then leave this arm entirely un draped from shoulder to finger tip. About the cosy curve of the upper arm, against the whiteness of the skin, twine a small bit of feathery fern. Then use this natural armlet to hold in place a red, yes, a deep red, rosebud' The effect is striking. The very simplicity of the idea gives it instant attention. During the past few days a number of prominent young women have appeared with simple flower ornaments. Nor is tho flower ornament confined to the better display of an attrac tive arm. Some of the more artistic have managed to find a way to call at tention to a superior attraction by the same method. A woman whose pride ir, a dainty foot and ankle deftly hangs her green band and rose setting about the ankle. r _ ; The New Labor Law The new Workmen's Compensation Act is now in ef fect.

Yet nothing will be destroyed with out the corresponding work of con struction. We will tear nothing down without building up. With this promise we are now ready to devote a few words to a description of the building of a human body out of its food supply By carefully following this description you will prepare yourself for a com plete grasp of all that is to come here after, including the subject of "How to Feed the Child." That subject does not follow Immediately because it is in reality the summing up and Inter pretation of the hundred food truths that must be understood thoroughly before intelligent provision for the child's food needs becomes possible. Man has not probed into the real meaning of the words, "Dust thou art and unto dust thou shalt return." His knowledge of the first law of life has been lost. Perhaps, looking closer, he may find a subtler meaning than the one ordinarily given by him to the declaration of God to Adam. He may find that those words rep resent a law of life, not a law of death, as he had thought. L,et us look at the soil from which we have sprung. If we take a hand ful of fertile earth into the laboratory and split it' up we find It to be com posed chiefly of some sixteen elements. When we analyze the body of a man we find that it, too, is made up prin cipally of the same sixteen elements. If we take next a measure of milk, an egg, a handful of wheat or corn, oats or rye, again we find the very same sixteen elements. This is in deed the clue to the riddle of life. There is no creature alive to-day on the face of this planet whose body does not contain these sixteen substances. Evidently these substances are present as the result of no accident. The constancy with which they ap pear and the consistency with which they are found in certain proportions in this or that food reveal the opera tion of a fixed law. These substances or elements are oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen, carbon, chlorine, fluorine, iron, phosphorus, calcium, potassium, magnesium, manganese, sodium, sulphur, silicon, iodine. The body obtains them for its needs through the medium of food, and through food alone. This is the very heart of the exposure we have under taken. Even the Indifferent and the skeptical will see in it some relation ship to the deaths of nearly 400,000 children under ten years of age in the United States every year.

[GOLDSMITH'S 2(^,^U&. 2 GGTGA STST L ____________________ PX INDUSTRIALS KILLING BIG ARMY Commissioner Jackson Pre-1 ' | diets 300,000 Injured and 6,000 Killed in 1916 Before 1916 is ended the industries of Pennsylvania will have injured 300,000 men and killed 6,000 more, is , the prediction made last evening by Dr. John Price Jackson, of the State Department of Labor and Industry, unless immediate action is taken by the manufacturers of the State to pro vide greater safety measures in their plants. Commissioner Jackson's prediction was made following the receipt of re ports at the State Department of Labor and Industry showing that 1,010 men were injured and 21 killed in one day recently. The commissioner immedi ately issued an urgent appeal that every employer in Pennsylvania should j form a safety organization and call upon the Department of and In dustry for every aid in the promotion of the safety work. "This high toll of human lives and health is terrible," declared the com missioner. "This loss of life, health, eyes and ability to work means an j amount of suffering and an amount, of j financial loss to the industries and I the Commonwealth well nigh beyond comprehension. Possibly the most sad j | and deplorable feature of this loss is that a very large part of it. can be avoided by employers and employes. The time has arrived when every in i'dustrial establishment in this State must, honestly and energetically take hold of this problem. "The same foresight and skill must I be given this work as is given to the * problems of manufacturing and pro ducing. If this is done before the year is out, the terrible toll of human life nnd energy will be 'reduced by half. The first responsibility falls on the. em ployer. His first stop should be to call immediately his chiefs together and form a safety organization, composed of those in authority and the workers. This organization should immediately start an active propaganda to promote individual carefulness and to reduce unnecessary hazards. "This work does not cost any great amount of money; only a little human spirit and time. The manufacturer who neglects taking this step imme diately deserves severest censure from the people of the state. The Depart ment of Labor find Industry has worked out full details for the best promotion of safety work and will be only too glad to aid any industrial establishment in an effort to conserve human life and energy."

The best way to avoid contracting It yourself or to treat the disease If you do contract It Is to follow a few simple rules of health as outlined by the Health Hoards and get from your drug gist a large bottle of Oxidaze (con taining ninety tablets) and every two hours allow one of the tablets to slow ly melt In vour mouth so that its pow erful healing Juices, mixing with the saliva, will reach and heal the inflamed i membranes, clear the throat of all I dangerous germ life, loosen a dry, ; hoarse or tight cough and by stopping the formation of phlegm In the throat and bronchial tubes quickly end the ! persistent "hang on," loose cough.

RULES FOR FIGHTING Grip and Pneumonia Avoid crowds, keep away from peopl.' who cough and sneeze. Don't ride In street cars when you have only a short distance to go walk. Sleep with windows open and W-eathe deeply. Avoid mouth breath ing, avoid crowded theaters and movies, keep throat antiseptic with Oxidaze. IF VOU GET THE GRIP Cover your face when coughing or sneezing and don't expectorate in public. Allow an Oxidaze tablet to dis solve in mouth every hour or so. druggists everywhere sell them on a positive guarantee that they will stop a cough or the grip or money back, no one who has a cough or cold or the grip can lose by giving them a fair trial. Be sure to Insist on Oxidaze and take nothing in its place. A single package taken now may easily save many dollars in doctors' bills la future. 9
