Sept. 4 Garnisheelhg 'of railroad employes' pay has been forbidden by Director General Mc- Adoo as a means of eliminating much legal work heretofore necessary. At '•the same time it was made plain that 'employes who do not pay their bills Will be dismissed, and this, it is be lieved. will prove sufficient protec tion for merchants and others hold ling bills against railroad men. Wages until actually paid over to •employes are held to constitute gov 'ernment funds against which legal action may not be taken. Stop Indigestion With Bi-nesia Avoid Deadening Drugs and Artificial Digestants Pain in the stomach after eating, indigestion. dyspepsia. flatulence, igas. etc., are almost invariably due to acidity and food fermentation. To at tempt to cure the trouble by using di igestlve powders and pills or deaden ing drugs is like trying to relieve a Wound from a splinter of glass by ap- ! •plying ointment without first remov ing the glass. In each case the cause remains and the trouble gets worse. 'The common sense thirg to do when } tyour stomach hurts is to remove the | 'acid and stop the fermentation by | .means of a simple antacid or neutrate 'such as Bi-nesia, which can be ob 'tained of George A. Gorgas. or any ■other good druggist in either powder ! •or tablet form. A teaspoonful of Bi-nesia powder or two or three of the < 'tablets taken in half a glass of hot water after eating, instantly neu tralizes the acid, stops food fermen "tation, and thus enables the most con- ' firmed dyspeptic to enjoy the heartiest •meals without the slightest pain or inconvenience. Try this simple plan ■at once and forget that you ever had 1 >a stomach. The trial costs nothing if it fails, i ifor each package of 81-nesia con tains a binding guarantee of satisfac tion or money back, and your drug igist, a man you personally know, 'stands back of that guarantee. i OFFICIAL WILLARD BATTERY SERVICE STATION 109 Market Street ppPj|l Automobile Supplies You 11 find our stocks so complete that you can get every requisite for your car here.
