Are Dangerous , Aid , stomachs are dangerous be cause acid irritates and inflames the delicate lining, of the stomach, thus hindering ahd preventing the proper action of the stomach, and leading to probably nine-tenths of the cases of stomach trouble from which people suffer. Ordinary medicines and medic inal treatments are useless in such cases, for they leave the source of the trouble, the acid In, the stomach, as dangerous as ever. The acid must be neutralized, and Its formation prevent ed, and the best thing for this pur pose is a teaspoonful of blsurated mag nesia, a simple antacid, taken in a little warm or cold water after eating, which not only neutralizes the acid, but also prevents th8 fermentation from which acid Is developed.

MENEFEE still on STAND UNDERGOING CROSS EXAMINATION (Continued From Page One) and inquired concerning Menefee's advances to the company. ' Menefee stated that In 1913 he ad vanced $50,969 to the company, drew something like $.19,000, which leTt a debit in his. favor of $31,000, "I got. this money," explained' the witness, "through the sale of my per sonal account. "Hot Exactly, " Xs Answer. "(Now, isn't it a fact," queried Reames, "that you got most of thia money from the sale of stock credited to the Menefee special account?" "Not exactly." "When you got money from Camp bell's sales ' of stock in this account you banked -it to your personal account, and then cheeked it out to the com pany?" prompted Reames. A t "Part of it, yes." "All right. Then when youvfinally settled the special account, how did you pay up?" "I paid a note of $1800 owned by the company; transferred a deed to the Combs property, which squared fzooo more. "?This Combs property had been given you as , a commission pre viously." - "Yes."- The disposition of the Original 15, 000 shares of stock given Menefee by the company was then taken up. After giving some of it away and returning 5000 shares to the company and in cluding outside purchases ' made by himself. Menefee testified that he had sold 5033 shares, and owns less that 500 shares at the present time. "And what did you ; get for this stock?" asked Reams. "I sold a couple of small blocks for $10 per share, but most of It went for anything ranging down ag low as $3.50 per share and it averaged $S." ' "Didn't you get as high as $30 for some of it? How about Burt Salla berry who bought at $30 when .Todd was selling personal stock, "I sold that to Todd for $6. ' That was Todd's stock then. 0 - "In fact I . sold to Bonnewell at $6 also." - Reames quit the topic and Jumped to the reasons why the company made it a point to secure endorsements of their machines from bankers, etc lie attempted to show that these endorse ments, were secured to aid la stock selling. Menefee admitted they were used in this connection but Insisted that : the principal reason was to dis cover the opinion of the men who would us them when . they, "got oa th market." I . v The prosecutor followed this with a display of salesmen's kits which con tained many photographic copies of these letters of endorsements. Bevsn BUyett Machines Built. In reply to questions Menefee sals that the company had made seven &11 yep cashier machines and sold none; had manufactured SI lightning change makers and sold none, had completed three 'computing machines and sold none; had built six Bulllngton, six bank cashier machines! and sold one and had put out SS White nine bank cashier machine and had sold two. In addition he said-" parts ' for several hundred currency paying machines had been made before the company moved to Terre Haute in January, 1914. - 'With thia as a basis, Reames Intro duced letters, written by Menefee. in which he told salesmen that the com pany had reached the stage where it could deliver "$500.000-worth of cashier machines before the end of the year." These letters were written In March or 191 J. iJSIenefee then explained that his sup erintendent, Mr. Conley, had so repre sented things to him and he believed it. Subsequently defects prevented the manufacture of the Bulllngton machine and Engineer White spent a year In completing his model. The advertised "contracts" were be ing investigated when the noon ad journment was taken. Would Xaow Seasons. The cross examination of Menefee yesterday afternoon developed a battle of wits between the witness and Reames, and during the afternoon the prosecutor delved into the reasons for the existence of the "advisory board" the Menefee special account and rea sons for increase in the price of stocjc The first thing taken up was In con nection with the directors meeting '-of January 7, 1912, where a resolution was passed by the directors withdrawing the company's stock from sale and au thorizing the sale of stock which had been bought up privately, by Menefee LeMonn and Campbell. Under a severe cross fire of questions, Menefee ad mitted that the meeting was called after he had received a letter and wire from LeMonn, ' then in the east, . ad vising such action and declaring "that he feared the Payograph machine of Detroit would prove a formidable rival. He said he held stock sufficient to dominate the meeting had he so de sired. Board Keld One Meeting. Reames followed by taking up the personnel of the advisory board and the methods of appointing members on it This board held one meeting. That was in June of 1911. "On direct examination," said Reames, "you said the purpose of the advisory board was to make the com pany a stock holders company." "Yes." "Now isn't it a fact that the real purpose of ' creating the board was to induce members to buy stock?" "No. That inducement was held out to only a few persons." "One of them was Dr. Milliken of Port Jones, Cal.," suggested Reames. "Tea sir." "And you made him a preferred stockholder, didn't you?" "I would not say that," parried Menefee. Contract Is Introduced. Reames then introduced a contract wherein Milliken was guaranteed a I share of 5 per cent of the total gross receipts from the first sale of the company's machines. Reames asked him if he thought such an arrangement fair and Menefee admitted he did not. Menefee then stated that this contract and several others of similar strain has been issued to encourage members of the advisory board to Interest others in the stock and for the good of the company. "But," shot In Reames suddenly, "wasn't it your own personal stock and not the stock of the company that was sold to Dr. Milliken?" "Yes. It was my personal stock," answered Menefee. vHis contract called for stock cheaper than the com pany was selling it for so I filled the order out of my own stock." "And now do you think such a transaction was fair' or square?" de manded the attorney. "No I do not think it was right," replied Menefee. The total number of blind persons In the world is estimated at 3,390,000. LATE REAL ESTATE Today's Happening Witta (he Banders, Architects, extractors end Realty Prepares Plans for School. E. E.

Cocoanut Oil Makes' A Splendid Shampoo If you want to keep your hair in Mood condition, the less soap you use the hetter. , Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and is: very harmful. Just plain mutslfled cocoanut oil (which is pure and entire ly greaseless), is much better than soap or anything else you can use for shampooing, as this can't possibly in jur the hair. .- --f.u . ..- Simply moisten' your hair with water and rub It in. One or two teaspoonful i will make an abundance of rich, creamy: lather, and cleanses tbe hair and scalp thoroughly. The lather rinses out eas ily, and rsmoves every particle of dust; dirt, dandruff -and sxcessivs oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and 't leaves it fine and silky, bright, fluffy and eaay to manage. 1 Tou can get mulsltied cocoanut oil afc most any drug store.

You csnnot get fat until ?'our digestive tract properly asslml ateg the food you eat. There is a preparation known to re-1 liable nruggists almost everywhere. wnicn seemingly embodies tne missing elements needed by the digestive or gans to help them convert food into rich, fat-laden blood. This preparation is called Bargol and much remarkable testimony is given as to its success ful use in flesn building. Sargol, which comes in the form of ,a small . non injurious tablet, taken at meals and mixing with the digesting food, tends, to prepare "its fat. flesh and muscle building elements so that the blood can readily accept -and carry them to the starved portions of the' body.
