Moving pictures and daily lectures SAYS ACID STOMACH CAUSES INDIGESTION Excess of Hydrochloric Acid the Food and Forms Gases. Sours Undigested food delayed in the stomach decays, or rather, ferments the same as food left in the open air, s a noted authority. He also tells that indigestion is caused by hyper- dity, meaning, there is an excess of hydrochloric acid in the stomach which prevents complete digestion and starts food fermentation. Thus cverything caten sours in the stom- ach 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 diges- tive aids and instead get from any pharmacy four ounces of Jad salts and take a tablespoonful in a gl of water before breakfast and drink while it is effervescing and further- more, to continue this for a weelk. While relief follows the first dose, it is important to neutralize the acid- ity, to 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 grap and lemon juice, combined with lithia and sodi- um phosphate. This harmless salts is used by thousands of people for stomach trouble with excellent re- sults. e —————— e ROLL YOUR OWN. Demonstrations Show How “Bull Durham” Cigarettes are Easily Made.

Al- though the alleged implication of Mack was common gossip late summer and the police were unoffic Iy in possession of the facts at the time, it was not until last week that the matter was brought to the at- tention of Prosecuting Attorney George W, Klett. He is at present re- viewing the case. To this day how ever, the police have received no complaint. According to the Mack was employed at the sample store as a clerk and Mrs. Coons as cashier. During Manager Segal's ab- sence at noon hour and other times, it is alleged, friends of Mack would come into the store and purchase clothing at greatly reduced rates, some declaring that $15 suits were sold al $5 per. It is said that both Mack and the woman cashier were implicatea in this wholesale fleecing of Segul and profited thereby. Segai is credited with saying that the clerks fleeced him out of $3,200 worth of goods and that finally Mack signed a paper purporting to be an ion of the thefts, and agreed to try and made good his depredation After Segal discovered that he was being buncoed by his clerks it is said that he secured the names of a num- ber of the young men about town who purchased clothing at reducea rates and sent them bills, asking that they pay the difference at once. They have refused to do this on the ground that they paid for their clothes when bought them. It has been inti~ mated that some of these young men ay be arrested as implicated with in the embezzlement and several them have already consulted counsel. current report, HAS BIRTHDAY PARTY.

You can identify CERTAIN- TEED Roofing by the name, which is conspicuously display~ edon everyroll or bundle.Look for this label, and be satisfied with none that does: 't show it. CERTAIN-TEED is made in rolls, also in slate - surfaced shingles. There is a type of CER- TAIN-TEED for every kind of building, with flat or pitched roofs; from the larg- estsky-scraper to the smallest residence or out-building. CERTAIN-TEED is guar- anteed for 5, 10 or 15 years, according to ply (1, 2 or 3). Experience proves that it lasts longer. g iy T Efficiency built the Panama Canal, after inefficiency failed. he efficiency of Panama doubled the effect- iveness of the U. S. Navy without adding a ship to it. It took over 8,000 miles out of the trip from New York to San Francisco, and changed the highway between London and Australia from Suez to Panama. Efficiency insures against lost motion—it produces the utmost service out of equipment and vields the finest product, at the least cost. Certain-teed Roofing is an Efficiency Product Every advantage that men, money and machinery can offer is used to increase the praduction, maintain the quality and lower the cost. Each of the General’s enormous mills is advantageously located to serve the ends of efficient manufacture and quick distribution. Each is equipped with the most up-to-date machinery. Raw materials are purchased in enormous quantities and far ahead of the needs of man- ufacturing, thus guarding against the increased cost ' due to idle ma- chinery. This also insures favorable buying, and the pick of the market. Expert chemists at each mill are employed to select and blend the asphalts, and every roll of CERTAIN-TEED is made under their watchful care. CERTAIN-TEED resists the drying-out process so destructive to ordinary roofing, because the felt is thoroughly saturated with ablend of soft asphalts, prepared under the formula of the General’s board of expert chemists. It is then coated with a blend of harder asphalts, which keeps the inner saturation soft. This makes a roofing more pliable, more impervious to the elements than the harder, drier kind.
