The leaves of the soft maple, 55 ca- more and trees of the IPoplar variety have shed their leaves. but the hard- er trees such as the elm, maple and other varieties are stili green as in lune. The hedzes. of course, are aiways zreen the vear round. also the grass, likesvise the livecoak, and magnolia.

Acid Indigestion, Colds, Headaches, Bilious Attacks, Constipation OFTEN START THIS WAY Sane people are wbat are known as acid-niakers. They can't help it-and often t/ley don't know fi. The results of an excess of acid may seem just like ordinary stomach trouble - but they can't be put right by ordinary stoamach remedies! Excess acid may be the reason wby you wake up flat, saur, bleary-eyed, biliaus - and the reasan why fierce purgatives oniy leave you in the grip of a weakening habit and the sane aid symptonis. But there's one thing that acid can't face. That's the neutraiizing power of Vange Saits, the aikaline remnedy with the naturai minerai spa action. A tea- spoonful in warmn water surges through your systemn just like the medicinai spring water far away in England where Vange Saits corne from. Excess acid is neutraiizcd quickly, painiessiy. Vour blood is purified of poisons. Vour sore stomnach walls are soothed. And that mass of hard, poisonaus waste matter lying in your intestines is softened gently, ,zaturally, and passed out of your body. Then do vou feel good! It's marvellous! But the most marvellous thing is that Vange Saits are oniy 60 cents a tin! At your drug- gist now-but if you're wise, on your bathroorn sheif tonîght over 30.000 calling at the office of the local Chamber of Commnerce, since MNas'. Over 250.000 cars have p)ankcd in the parking area of the nlew Inni. since it svas opencd over a vear ago and the Restoration is now building another hotel which wili cost over half a million to hclp take care of the tourist trade. The average attendance of visitors at the nestorcd public buildings is computed at 600 each day, rnany of thein beine touriets on their svay to Florida.
