PUT STOMACH IN FIMNDITION Says Indigestion Results From An Excess of Hydrochloric Acid Undigested for 1 delayed in the stom- ach decays, or rather, ferments the same as food left in the open air, says a noted authority. He also tells us that Indiges- tion is caused by Hvper-acidity, mean- ing, there is an excess of hydrochloric acid in the stomach which prevents com- plete digestion and starts food fer- mentation. Thus everything eaten sours in the stomach much like garbage sours in a can, forming acrid fluids and gases which inflate the stomach like a toy balloon. Then we feel a heavy, lumpy misery in the chest, we \belch up gas, we eructate sour food or have heart- burn, flatulence, water-brash or nausea. He tells us to lay aside 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 and drink while it is effervescing and furthermore, to con- tinue this for a week. While relief fol- lows the first dose, it is important to neutralize the acidity, remove the gas- making mass, start 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 grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia and sodium phos- phate. This harmless salts is used by thousands of people for stomach trouble with excellent results.?Adv. The first communion service of this conference year will be helfl to-morrow in the Methodist church. At this serv- ice the probationers received in No- vember will be admitted to full mem- bership. To-morrow will he Missionary Day in the Church of God. All departments of the church will have missionary services and a special offering will be asked to assist the Christian Endeavor Society, which has assumed the support of a native preacher in India.

DESOLATION IN RUSSIAN POLAND DESCRIBED AFTER RUSSIANS FLEE TERRITORY (Correspondence of Associated Press) Berlin, Saturday, April 10.?A pic- ture of indescribable desolation with fully 5,500 houses destroyed, thou- sands of peasants homeless and living in holes in the ground, absolute cessa- tion of auy kind of work that shall provide for a fall harvest, is drawn in the reports now reaching here from Russian Poland. The retreating Russians, fleeing be- fore the German advance, appear to have treated their own territory quite as severely as they did East Prussia earlier and to have left a miserable wilderness in which disease is apt to appear at any moment, aud starvation is almost a certainty within a short time. The peasants, or those who still re- main, show utter indiffereuco to their condition and are making not the slightest effort to reconstruct what has been torn and burned, nor to plant crops of any kind. The majority of those of military age are away in the armies, or dead, and the old and youn'g left behind seem unconscious of what the results of their inactivity are apt to be. n Three quarters of Poland has been hit by the war and damage estimated at half a 'billion dollars has been done. Practically all the cattle and horse flesh in the country have been carried off by the retreating Russians. AMUSEMENTS / > MAJESTIC This afternoon and evening, Mclntyre and Heath in "The Ham Tree."

(Mc- lntyre has earned $300,000 in his "Georgia Minstrel" suit. iHeath is an ex-circus elown; Mclntyre was a bare- back rider when a boy in 1871 with the Van Amberg's circus. The comedy team has 'broken more records than any other actor in the world. Their con- tinuous partnership is one record, the life of their classy: "Georgia Min- strels" in "The Ham Tree" is an- other, and attendance at theatres where they appear is another. The contract with John Cort is for four years at a joint salary of $75,000 a season. Mc- lntyre and Heath with there big com- pany will be seen at the Majestic this evening in "The Fam Tree. ?Adv.* "Twin Beds" ' That an apartment house is more un- sociable than ever a populated cliff, was in the stone age, is amply demonstrated by the clever lines and situations which Margaret Mayo )tas embodied in her hilarious farce, ''Twin Beds." That certain feminine natures are unable to exist within themselves and yearn for the companionship of their own s'ex, is charmingly illustrated in the char- acter of Blanche Haukins, the butter- fly wife, so beautifully portrayed by petite and charming \fargaret Boland.

PUT STOMACH INFIMNDITION

Says Indigestion Results From AnExcess of Hydrochloric

Acid

Undigested for 1 delayed in the stom-ach decays, or rather, ferments the sameas food left in the open air, says a notedauthority. He also tells us that Indiges-tion is caused by Hvper-acidity, mean-ing, there is an excess of hydrochloricacid in the stomach which prevents com-plete digestion and starts food fer-mentation. Thus everything eaten soursin the stomach much like garbage soursin a can, forming acrid fluids and gaseswhich inflate the stomach like a toyballoon. Then we feel a heavy, lumpymisery in the chest, we \belch up gas,we eructate sour food or have heart-burn, flatulence, water-brash or nausea.

He tells us to lay aside all digestiveaids and instead, get from any phar-macy four ounces of Jad Salts and takea> tablespoonful in a glass of water be-fore breakfast and drink while it iseffervescing and furthermore, to con-tinue this for a week. While relief fol-lows the first dose, it is important toneutralize the acidity, remove the gas-making mass, start the liver, stimulatethe kidneys and thus promote a freeflow of pure digestive juices.

Jad Salts is inexpensive and is madefrom the acid of grapes and lemon juice,combined with lithia and sodium phos-phate. This harmless salts is used bythousands of people for stomach troublewith excellent results.?Adv.

DESOLATION IN RUSSIANPOLAND DESCRIBED AFTERRUSSIANS FLEE TERRITORY

(Correspondence of Associated Press)

Berlin, Saturday, April 10.?A pic-ture of indescribable desolation withfully 5,500 houses destroyed, thou-sands of peasants homeless and livingin holes in the ground, absolute cessa-tion of auy kind of work that shallprovide for a fall harvest, is drawnin the reports now reaching here fromRussian Poland.

The retreating Russians, fleeing be-fore the German advance, appear tohave treated their own territory quiteas severely as they did East Prussiaearlier and to have left a miserablewilderness in which disease is apt toappear at any moment, aud starvationis almost a certainty within a shorttime.

The peasants, or those who still re-main, show utter indiffereuco to theircondition and are making not theslightest effort to reconstruct what hasbeen torn and burned, nor to plantcrops of any kind. The majority ofthose of military age are away in thearmies, or dead, and the old and youn'gleft behind seem unconscious of whatthe results of their inactivity are aptto be. n

Three quarters of Poland has beenhit by the war and damage estimatedat half a 'billion dollars has been done.Practically all the cattle and horseflesh in the country have been carriedoff by the retreating Russians.
