A well-known authority states that stomach trouble and indigestion is nearly always due to acidity acid stomach —and not, as most folks be lieve. from a lack of digestive juices. He states that an excess of hydro chloric acid in the stomach retards digestion and starts food fermenta tion, then our meais sour like garbage in a can, forming acrid fluids and sases which inflate the stomach like a toy balloon. We then get that heavy, lumpy feeling in the chest, we eructate sour food, belch gas, or have heartburn, flatulence, waterbrasli, or nausea. He tells us to lay aside all digestive aids and instead, get from any phar macy four ounces of .lad Salts and take a tablespoonful In a glass of water before breakfast while it is ef fervescing. and furthermore, to con tinue this for one week. While relief follows the first dose, it is important to neutralize the acidity, remove the gas-making mass, start the liver, stimulate the kidneys and tints pro mote a free flow of pure digestive juices. .lad Salts is inexpensive and is made from the a« id of grapes and lemon juice, combined with llthia and sodium phosphate. This harmless salts is used by thousands of people for stomach trouble with excellent results. Throw Away Your Eye-Glasses!

Y., as a moral failure. Clem runs after him In a tangle of short skirts to bid him good-by. CHAPTER ll—Captain Wayne tells Alan of the failing of the Waynes.

CHAPTER IX—The .iudsjc fails to trace Gerry. A baby la born to Alix. CHAPTER X-The native girl takes Gerry to her home and shows hlrn the ruined plantation she Is mistress of. Ger ry marries her. CHAPTER Xl—At Maple house Col llngeford tells how he met Alan—"Ten Per Cent Wayne"—building a bridge la Africa. Tn the cool of the evening he looked about him. The tiny world into which he had fallen was penurious but self contained. Such fabrics as there were, were homespun from the bolls of a scraggy patch of cotton bushes. A little oil In a clay dish with a twisted wick of cotton giving forth more smoke than light seemed to fix him in his setting of prehistoric man. The rice, gathered from an enduring bot tom. formed with manioc, the back bone of the household's sustenance. From the outcrops of the abandoned cane fields, with the assistance of an antediluvian hand-mill and an equal ly antiquated iron pot, they made the black sirup that served for sugar. Salt slightly alkaline, was plentiful. A few cows and their progeny lived in the open and lived well, for, even unfilled, the lands of the valley were rich. An occasional member of the herd was car ried oft to market by the old darky. The proceeds bought the rery few con tributions of civilisation necessary to the upkeep of the lenten life. Gerry deckled, ne looked at the girl and she ran to him. He put his arms around her and sazed with a sort of nnmbed emotion into her great dark eyes. Those eyes were wells of simplicity, love, fidelity, but below all that there were depths unmeasured and unmeasuring that gave all and de manded all. In the mind of the husband who believed himself deserted and betrayed there no longer existed any barrier be tween him and this woman who had come so strangely into his life. Mar riage with her was no wrong to Alix. The last scruples of clviiiaation and of law fell from him like a garment thrown aside and he became the hus band of the girl who had so innocently wooed him. Collingeford gave a sigh of relief when l>e saw what manner of place was Maple House. As they gathered around the great table for dinner he was the only stranger and he did not I'eel it Nance was there with the faint smile of a mother that has just put her children to bed. Charley Stir ling, teasing Clematis, tried to forget that Monday and the city were coming together. Mrs. J. Y., with Collinge ford on her right and the Judge on her left held quiet sway over the table and nodded reassuringly at the old captain who wes making gestures with his eyes to the effect that a whisky and soda should be immediate ly offered to the guest. J. Y„ j?.-etty gray by now, sat thoughtful, but kindly, at the other end of the table. Clem was beside him. It was not until the men were sit ting alone after the (.'lass of port, in which all had drunk Collingeford's welcome to that home, that the judge said casually. "Collingeford saw Alan In Africa." WHAT TO DO FOR BURNS, SCALDS AND BRUISES Accidents will happen. They do happen and often with the most seri ous or fatal results. Every home should always keep a supply of antiseptic Ucanol handy to use immediately in ease of a burn, scaid or bruise, because there is posi tively nothing else that is so effective or speedy in giving relief, or that is so healing. Even some of our largest factories use Ucanol freely when acci dents occur, and always keep it in their emergency hospitals. Would they do this if they were not sure it was absolutely the best? Do not delay but be prepared for all pmergeneies. Stop at your druggist's to-day and get 50 cents worth of anti septic Ucanol. You can't really afford to be without it. H. C. Kennedy has a fresh supply and always sells it with guarantee of money back if not satis fied. aroused to sudden Interest. "What's that about Alan?" "I ran across Alan Wayne In Af rica," aatd Colllngeford, smiling. "Do you want me to tell you about ft?" Nance called Charley Stirling out. "You shirker," she said, "come and sit with me In the hammock." "Colllngeford was jnst going to tell about meeting Alan in Africa," aaid Charley indignantly. And then Nance said "Oh!" and wanted to send him back but he wouldn't go. "Yes." grunted the captain In reply to Collingeford's Question and J. Y. nodded as he caught the young man's eye. "Wish you would," he said and leaned forward, his elbows on the table. Colllngeford was one of those men who are sensitive to men. His vocab ulary did not run to piffle but he loved an understanding ear. He looked at the judge's keen but restful face, at the captain's glaring eyes, which some how had assumed n kindly glint, at J. Y.'s rugged flgure, suddenly grown tense, and he knew that Alan Wayne was near to the hearts of these three. He fingered his wine glass. "If I wag one of those men," he began, looking at nobody, "who dislike Ten Percent Wayne I wouldn't tell you about him. But I'm not. It took me only two hours to get over hating him and those two hours were spent in a broiling sun at the wrong end of a half-finished bridge. "Prince Bod sky and I were on shikari. We were headed home after a long and unsuccessful shoot in new country and we were as sore and tired and bored wiih the life of the wild as two old-timers ever get. On the day I'm telling you about we were trek king up a river gorge to a crossing. After lunch and the long rest we still had ten miles to go to cross and It didn't help things to know thai once over we had to come straight back on the other side. During the first hour's march in the afternoon we heard the strangest sound that ever those wilds gave forth. It was like hammering on steel but we refused to believe our ears until a sudden curve brought us bang up against the Indis putable fact Ol a girder-bridge in the throes of construction. P.e'ore the thought of the sacrilege to the game country—before we could see in this noisy monstrosity the root of our re cent bad luck —cnine the glad thought that we didn't have to do ten miles up that gorge and ten back. We would have whooped except that men don't whoop in Africa—lt «cares the game. "I said the bridge wag in the throes of construction. It was just that. Its two long girders, reaching from brink to brink, with their spidery trusses hanging underneath, fairly swarmed with sweating figures, and the figures were black. It was that that broughi us to a full rtop and just when oui eyes were fixed with the Intensity of discovery, one of the workers looked up, saw us, relaxed and gave the lond grunt which stands In Landln for 'Just look at that!' !n English. "The babbling and hammering around him ceased, but while he still stared at us. we saw a veritable ap parition. A white man, hung between heaven and the depths of the gorge, was racing along the top of the slip pery girder. His helmet blew off, hung poised, and then plunged in long tack ing sweeps. The man was dressed In a cotton shirt, white trousers and thick woolen socks. No boots. Of course. I didn't notice all that till af terwards. In his hand he carried a sjambok. Suddenly the staring darky seemed to feel him coming but, before he could turn, the sjambok quirt came down with the clinging sting of bide on flesh. We saw the blood spurt The negro toppled without a cry. He fell Inside, caught on a truss, clung, and finally with a struggle drew him self up on to a stringer. A shout of laughter went up from his fellows. Bodsky and I had heard It often— the laugh of the African for his broth er In pain. And then they fell to work again. The black with the blood trickling off his back rested long enough to get his breath and then climbed back to his place on the gir der. He was grinning. Don't ask me to explain it Men have died try ing to explain Africa. "The white man had stopped and half turned. He stood, a little strad dling, on the girder, and switched the sjambok to and fro. His eyes were blazing. From his Hps dropped a pat ter of all the vile words in I.andln, Swahlil and a half a dosen other dia lects—the words that a white man learns first if he listens to natives. The jargon seemed to incite the blacks. They worked as clumsily as ever but harder. They started to sing, as the 'African does when he's getting up a special hurst of speed. Then tbe white man walked off the girder on our side, out of the way. 'Now's our time,* I whispered to Bodsky. He shook his head slowly from side to side but I was already under way. I walked n|> to the white man and asked him if he could let us across. He glanced around as If he hadn't seen our outfit till that moment and then he looked me square In the eyes. 'We knock off at six,' he said, and that was all. (To be continued.) Only four days more of the BURNS FEBRUARY FURNITURE SALE If you have not been among the hundreds of delighted buyers who have taken advantage of the FEBRUARY SALE savings, it certainly will pay you to come before the sale closes. In the history of this store it is the greatest saving event —made doubly so by the wonderful reductions from our reg ular prices, the higher prices of the future, and most impor tant, the durability and attractiveness of goods themselves. As told you in our previous store talks, the BURNS FEBRUARY SALE doesn't base its success upon advertising with ATTRACTIVE pictures one or two pieces at seemingly tempting prices—a "bait" to catch the bargain seeker. We are glad to see that at least one other store is following our lead for honest business methods by announcing that they "do not offer baits'*.

The foundation of our furniture business is durability. Every piece that goes on our floors must be passed by our "furniture censor"; the wood is examined thoroughly, the con struction is inspected carefully, the finish is judged closely. Every piece of furniture in this sale is of this kind. OUR EXTENDED PAYMENT PLAN permits you to buy furniture on special terms of credit, buy at prices which represent a saving to you of TEN to FIFTY percent, and break the pay part up into many small payments that you do not feel the outlay part. Come in and talk it over with us. Hundreds of greatly reduced pieces of furniture are fur ther reduced for the last days of the February Sale.
