ACID IN STOMACH 1
SOURSIi FOOD
Says Excess of Hydrochloric Acid Is
Cause of Indigestion
A well-known authority state" that ;
ston'aeh trouble and indigestion is near- ;
Iv always due to acidity—acid stomach
—and not. as most folks believe, from
a la-k of digestive jnices. He states
that an excess of hydrochloric acid in
the stomach retards digestion and starts
food fermentatiou. then our meals sour
like garbage in a can. forming aerid
fluids and gases which inflate the stom
ach like a toy 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
do*e. it is important to neutralize the
acidity, remove the gas-making mass,
•tart the liver, stimulate the kidneys
and thus promote a free flow of pure
digestive juices.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and is made
from the acid of gra|>es anil lemon juice,
combined with lithia and sodium phos
phate. This harmless salts is used by
thouands of people for stomach trouble 1
with excellent results.—Adv.

TANGLE OVER GERMAN SHIP
DETAINED AT GIBRALTAR
Washington, Jan. 15.—The British
government has offered to allow the
former German steamshi'p Schncefels,
uow lying at Gibraltar, to proceed to
an American port with her cargo of
goods for the United States, if she is
recognized as a British vessel upon
her entry.
The Sehneeifels was seized last Au
gust and before a British prize court
at Gibraltar forfeited to the British
government, 'ller 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 l'ouiul 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.
