ACID !N STOMACH
SPURS THE FOOD
Says Excess of Hydrochloric Acid
is Cause of Indigestion.
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.

SYNOPSIS | "Eh j Wbatr Mid tba captain
CHAPTER I—Alan Wayne is sent
away from Red Hill, his home, by his
uncle, J. 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.
Clem drinks Alan's health on his
birthday.
CHAPTER ITl—Judge Healey buys
a picture for Alix Lansing. The judge
defends Alan in his business with his
employers.
CHAPTER IV —Alan and Alix meet
at sea, homeward bound, and start a
flirtation, which becomes serious.
CHAPTER V—At home. Wance Ster
line asks Alan to pro away from Alix.
Alix Is taken to task by Gerry, her
husband, for her conduct with Alan
and defies him.
CHAPTER Vl—Gerry, as he thinks,
sees Alix and Alan eloping, drops
evorvthing, and goes to Pernambuco.
CHAPTER VM—Alix leaves Alan on
the train and goes home to find that Ger
ry has disappeared.
CHAPTER Vlll—Oerry leaves Pernam
buco and goes to Piranhas. On a canoe
trtp he meets a native girl.
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.

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'*. It
seems almost unbelieveab'e that in this age of truthful advertising, there are
so many fictitious valuations quoted in furniture. It is difficult for the people
to make comparison from the cold type.
Before you buy any furniture, we ask vou to come here and compare
the merchandise with any other FEBRUARY SALE FURNITURE.
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.
