ACID IN STOMACH
SOURSJHE FOOD
Says Excess- of Hydrochlcuic 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 r »lks believe, from
a lack of digestive .juices, lie states
that an excess of hydrochloric acid in
the stomach retards digestion and starts
food fermentation, then our meals sour
like garbage in a can, forming acrid
fluids and gases 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, water
bras)), of nausea.
He tells us to lay aside all digestive
aids and instead, get from any phar
macy four ounces of dad Salts and take
i 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 dosej ,it is important to neutralize
'ho acidity, remove the gas-making
riass, start the liver, stimulate the ki<V
leys and thus promote a free flow of
pure digestive juices.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon
juice, combined with lithia nnd sodium
jhosphate. This harmless salts is used
}y thousands of people for stomach
rouble with excellent results.—Adv.

R. Ballou Freed by Jury

nent of the jury. A cheer broke out in
he rear of*the room, in which the
voices of many women were heard.
Fudge William H. Williams looked up
n surprise to give a reprimand when
there arose a shriek that drowned out
ill other sounds and the reprimand
was interrupted. Mrs. Angle, who was
standing before Iter chair, threw up
tier hand's at the shriek and sank to
the floor in utter collapse.
The hysterical sobbing of the woman
who had now been cleared of blame for
the death of Waldo H. Ballou was
tieard out in the corridors of the build
ing. Her father and her lawyers gath
ered about her and vainly tried to
soothe her.
Later Mrs. Angle was taken out of
the court building and escorted to the
railroad! station. She was very weak
and had to be supported. The street
was black with humanity when she left
the court house, and a crowd followed
her nnd her father to'the railroad sta
tion.
"Thank heaven it is over with!''
exclaimed her father when asked if he
had anything to say. "Nine months of
this agony is surely enough.''
