of eggs was the loss in an attempted
hold-up on the Fairfield road short

year-old son of Ira Clapsaddle, liv
ing about a mile and a half from
town, was sent to town with the eggs
and when he crossed the bridge at

of catching the rein he scared the
horse, which started at a wild gal
lop up the road, breaking the entire
lot of eggs. A negro was later cap
tured by Detective Wilson who gave
the name of Preston Weathers and
his home as Baltimore. He was
identified by the boy.

Make Your Own
Coffee at the Table
You Need Not Bother With a
Coffee Pot
How much more convenient It
would be if you couid make coffee
right at the table. Think of the time
gained, the steps saved, the extra
bother and fuss eliminated!
All this is possible—if you use
Hires Instant Soluble Coffee. This
was first made for our soldiers in
France, who required good coffee
that could be easily made. And so
thoroughly did Hires Instant Soluble
Coffee meet every requirement, Sti 2-3
per cent, of all the coffee contracted
for by the American Army, in the
trenches, was Hires. We could noi
supply more because our facilities
would not permit.
Hires Instant Soluble Coffee is the
dried pure juice of carefully selected
coffee beans of Java and Mocha
blend. This clear, aromatic juice is
merely converted into a powdered
soluble form. The minute you add
hot water you have your coffee as or
iginally made, and if you prefer
vour coffee iced you can have it, for
Hires Instant Soluble Coffee dis
solves instantly in ice water.
And Hires Instant Soluble Coffee
is the. concentrated juice of the
coffee bean, for by an exclusive pro
cess twice as much juice is taken
from the coffee bean as is secured
by the use of the coffee pot or perco
lator.
Because Hires Instant Soluble Cof
fee is so easy to make you can make
it right at the table, or can have a
clear, fragrant cup any hour of the
day or night.
A small can of Hires Instant
Soluble Coffee is equivalent to a
pound of the best Mocha and Java
coffee. The low price is due to the
fact that with our exclusive process
we extract lAO per cent, more juice
from the bean than you can in mak
ing coffee in the old way. Get it at
all stores.

IS DANGEROUS
Recommend* Dully Use of Magnesia
To Overcome Trouble. Caused
by Fermenting Food and
Acid Indigestion.
Gas and wind in the stomach ac
companied by that full, bloated feel
ing after eating are almost certain
evidence of the presence of exces
sive hydrochloric acid in the stom
ach. creating so-called "acid indiges
tion."
Acid stomachs are dangerous be
cause 'too much acid irritates the
delicate lining of the stomach, often
leadyvg to gastritis accompanied by
serious stomach ulcers. Food fer
ments and sours, creating the dis
tressing gas which distends the stom
ach and hampers the normal func
tions of the vital Internal organs,
often affecting the heart.
It is the worst of folly to neglect
such a serious condition or to treat
with ordinary digestive aids which
have no neutralizing effect on the
stomach acids, instead get from any
druggist a few ounces of Biaurated
Magnesia and take a teaspoonful In
a quarter glass of water right" after
eating. This will drive the gas, wind
and bloat right out of the body,
sweeten the stomach, neutralize the
excess acid and prevent its formation
and there Is no sourness or pain.
Uisurated Magnesia (In powder or
tablet form never liquid or milk)
Is harmless to the stomach, inexpen
sive to take and the best form of.
magnesia for stomach purposes, it
is used by thousands of people who I
enjoy their meals with no more fear i
of indigestion. G. A. Gorgaa. I
