TTTHATmany people call indigestion
W very often means excess acid in
the stomach. The stomach nerves have
been over-stimulated, and food sours.
ThecocwLtireis an alkali, which quickly
neutralizes acids. And the best alkali
known to medical science is Rrilhps
Milk of Magnesia.
One spoonful of this harmless, taste
less alkali neutralizes instantly many
times as much harmful acid, and then
the symptoms disappear at once. You
will never use crude methods when once
you learn the efficiency of this. Go get
a small bottle to try.

prescribed for 50 years in correcting
excess acids. 25e and 50c a bottle any

the principle of the federal farm
board land act to the financing of
homes in cities and towns were adopt

have to maintain a relief station for
the entire southwest."
Another of the resolutions adopted
urges the secreary of labor require
all employes of labor to give the
number of employes who are citizens
of the United States, and the num

relief of unemployment be obtained
thru heavy Increases in the income
taxes upon individuals wiiu large in
comes. Congressman Shanon of Kan
sas City, discussed the Increase of
multimillionaires in the United

retary E. H. Wescott, of the Platts
raouth Chamber of Commerce, with
Mayor John P. Sattler, were at Lin

state railway commission to protest
the proposed taking off of No. 2 aft
ernoon east bound Burlington train.
The community finds that tbe change
would work a very distinct injury in
the mail service to the community,
that the change is made only to
transfer the train from this side of
the river to the Council Bluffs-Pacific
Juneticn line and that it is now. a
move that will aid the railroad great
ly and causes much 'inconvenience
here. . - -
