stomach decays, or rather, ferments
the same as food left in the open

tells us that indigestion Is caused by
l(yper-acidity, meaning. thefV is an
excess of hydrochloric acid in the
stomach which prevents complete di
gestion and starts food fermentation.
Thus everything eaten sours in the
stomach much like garbage sours fn

gases which Inflate the stomach like
a toy balloon. Then we: feel . a

food or have heart-burn, flatulence,
'wafer-brash or nausea,' -

any pharmacy four ounces of Jad
Salts and 'take a tablespoonful In a
glass of water before breakfast and

furthermore, to continue this for a

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 pur digestive juices.
Jad Salts Is inexpensive and Is
made from the acid of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with lithla

' people for stomach trouble with ex

CATARRHAL DEAFNESS
MAY BE OVERCOME
If you have Catarrhal Deafness
or are even just a little hard of
hearing or have head noises go to
your druggist and get 1 ounce of
Parmint (double strength), and
add to it 1-4 pint of hot water
and a little granulated sugar.
Take 1 tablespoonful four times
a day. . '
- This will often bring quick re
lief from the distressing head
noises. Clogged nostrils should
open, breathing become easy and
the mucus stop dropping Into the
throat. , It is easy to prepare,
costs little and is pleasant to
take. Anyone losing hearing or
who has Catarrhal Deafness or
head noises should give this pre
scription a trial. . Capital Drug

a department of state police, accord
ing to present indications.
: The bl rails' for the appropria
tion of $60,000. or as much of that
amount as appears to be necessary
to put the department in ojeration.
Further, it calls for a superintend
ent at a salary of $3,000 a. year; a
deputy superintendent, whose salary
would le $2,400 a year, and 12 of

of $22,400 a year In salaries.
One of the pTpn-s uft forth In

Don't Let Soap
Spoil Your Hair
When you wash your hair, be care
ful what you ue. Most soaps and
prepared shampoos contain too much
alkali, which is very injurious, as
it dries the scalp and makes the hair
brittle. .
The best thing tose Is Just plain
BjulKified cocoanut'oil. for this Is
pure and entirely greaseles. It's
very cheap, and beat the most ex
pensive soaps or anything else all to
pieces. You can get this at any drug
store, and a few ounces will last the
whole" family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with
w'ater and rub.it in. about a tea
spoonful is all that is required. It
makyi an abundance of rich, creamy
lather, cleanses thoroughly, and
rinJ-er'out easily.- The hair dries
quickly and evenly, and Is soft, fresh
looking, bright, fluffy, wavy and easy
to handle. Besides. It loosens and,
takes out every particle of dust,. dirt
and dandruff.
