ACID IN STOMACH
SOURS THE TOOD
Says Excess of Hydrochloric Acid Is
Cause of Indigestion
A well-known authority states that
stomach trouble and indigestion is near
ly always due to acidity—acid stomach
—and not, as most folks believe, from
» lack of digestive juices. He states
that an excess of hydrochloric acid in
the stomach retards digestion nnd starts
fowl fermentation, then our meals sour
like garbage in a can, forming acrid
fluids and gases which inflate the stom
ach like a toy N»plloon. We then get
that heavy, lumpy feeling in the chest,
we eructate sour food, belch gas, or
have heartburn, flatulence, waterbrash,
or nausea.
He tells us to lay side all digestive
aids and instead, get from any phar
macy four ounces of Jad Salts and take
a tablespoonful in a glass of water be
fore breakfast while it is effervescing,
and furthermore, to continue this for
one week. While relief follows the first
dose, it is important to neutralize the
acidity, remove the gas-mnking mass,
Start the liver, stimulate the kidneys
and thus promote a free flow of pure
digestive juices.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and is made
<rom the aeid of gra|>es and lemon juice,
c'ombined with lithia and sodium phos
phate. This harmless salts is used by
thousands of people for stomach trouble
with excellent results.—Adv.

A Simple Way To
Remove Dandruff
There is one sure way that has never
failed to remove dandruff at once, and
that is to dissolve it, then you destroy
it entirely. To do this, just get about
four ounces of plain, common liquid
arvon from any drug store (this is all
you will need), apply it at night when
retiring; use enough to moisten the scalp
and rub it in gently with the finger tips.
By morning most, if not all, of your
dandruff will be gone, and three or "four
moro applications will completely dis
solve, and entirely destroy, -every single
sign and trace of it, no matter how
much dandruff you may have.
You will find all itching and digging
of the scalp will stop instantly and your
hair will be fluffy, lustrous, glossy, silky
and soft, and look and feel a hundred
times better.—Adv.

COCOANUT OIL MAKES
A SPLENDID SHAMPOO
I
| If yort want to keep your hair in
good condition, the less soap you
use the better.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. This dries
the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and
is very harmful. Just plain mulsificd
cocoanut oil (which is pure and en
tirely greaselessl, is much better
than soap or anything else you can
use for shampooing, as this can't pos
sibly injure the hair.,
Simply moisten your hair with
water and rub it in. One or two
teaspoonfuls will make an abundance
of rich, creamy lather, and cleanses
the hair and scalp thoroughly. The
lather rinses out easily, and removes
every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff
and excessive oil. The hair dries
quickly and evenly, and it leaves it
fine and silky, bright, fluffv and
easy to manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil
at most any drug store. Tt is very
cheap, and a few ounces is enough tu
last everyone in the family for
months.

goods for the United States, if she is
recognized as a British vessel upon
her entry.
The Schneefels was seized last Au
gust and before a British prize court
at Gibraltar forfeited to the British
government. Her cargo had been pur
chased by American consignees and
was held to be neutral. As there was
no available ship at Gibraltar, the
British government consented to allow
the Schneefels to continue her voyage
under the condition that the British
registry be recognized.
State Department officials so far have
not found their way clear to agree, be
cause of the uncertainty surrounding
the transfer of flags by belligerent-own
ed ships, and the question is still under
consideration.
