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. Foods
which ordinarily cause distress may
be eaten with impunity if the meal is
followed with a little blsurated mar-.

druggist, and should always be kept

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.

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. It le very cheap,
and a few ounces is enough to .last
everyone in the family for months.'

Thin Men and Women
so too wAirr to out at ajto
&fi STBOXCtf
The trouble with most thin folks'
who wish to gain weight-is that they
Insist on drugging their stomach of
stuffing it with greasy foods; rubbing;
on useless "flesh creams,1 or follow
ing some foolish physical culture etunt,
while the real cause of thinness goes
untouched. 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. Tou can.
readily picture the transformation that
additional and previously lacking flesh,
making material should bring with
your cheeks filling out, hollows about
your neck, shoulders and bust dlsap-'
peering and your taking on from lOi
to 20 pounds of solid, nsalthy flesh.
Sargol Is harmless, inexpensive, effi
cient; All leading druggists of this
viclnty hav it and are authorised to
refund your money If weight increase
is not obtained as per tbe guarantee
found In each large package. - -NOTE.
Sargol Is recommended only
as a flesh builder and while excellent
results in cases of nervous indigestion.
