CS A AN -- HEARTBURN |; A SEVERE CASE | heartburn who really do not -- Many people are troubled Just what it is. In cases of this trouble there is a gnawing and burning pain in the stomach attended by disturbed ap- petite. It is generally caused by great acidity of the stomach, and whenever too much food is taken, it is Hable to ferment, and becomes ex- tremely sour, causing heartburn. In such cases vomiting often occurs, and what is thrown up is sour and some- times bitter. . The one way to get rid of heart- bura is to keep yopr liver active by using MILBURN'S LAXA-LIVER PILLS and you will have,no heartburn or other liver troubles such ag constipa- tion, jaundice, water brash, floating specks before the eyes, coated tongue, foul breath, etc. Miss Agnes Cutting, Shallow Lake, Ont., writes: --*I have had heartburn for a long time. There were gnaw- ing and burning pains in my stomach. and then when I vomited there was & sour and bitter taste. I used two vials of Milburn's Laxa-Liver Pills, and they have cleared me of my heartburn. I don't think they can be beaten by any other medicine."

She reflected that if she could not have ballrooms of gray and rose and crystal, she wanted to be swinging across a puncheon-floor with a danc- ing fiddler. This smug in-between town, which had exchanged "Money Musk" for phonographs grinding out ragtime, it was neither the heroic old nor the: sophisticated new. Couldn't she somehow, some yet un- imagined how, turn it back to sim- plicity? She herself knew two of the pion- eers; the Perrys. Champ Perry. was the buyer at the grain-elevator. He weighed wagons of wheat on a rough platform-scale, in the oracks of which the kernels sprouted every spring. Between times he napped in the dusty peace of his office. She called on the Perrys at their rooms above Howland & Gould's grocery. When they were already old they had lost the money, which they had MAIN STREET') The Story of Carol Kennicott | By SINCLAIR LEWIS given up their beloved yellow brick house and moved into these rooms over a store, which were the Gopher Prairie equivalent of a flat. A broad stairway led from the street to the upper hall, along which were the man Cass's plutacratic parlor. She was at home here. She noted with darned chair-arms, the patent rock- er covered with sleazy cretonne, the pasted strips of paper mending the birch-bark napkin-rings labeled "Pa- pa" and "Mama." She hinted of new esthusiasm. To find one of the "young folks' who took them seriously, heartened tha Perrys, and she easily drew from them the principles by which Gopher Prairfe should be born again--- should. again become amusing to live in. This was their philosophy com- plete in the era of aero- doors of a lawyer's office a dentist's a photographer's "studio", the lodge- rooms of the Affiliated Order of Spartans and, at the back, the Per- ry's apartment, They received her (their first call- er in a month) with aged fluttering tenderness, Mrs. Perry confided, "My, it's a shame we got to enter- tain .you in such a cramped place. And there ain't any water except that ole iron sink outside in the hall, but still, as I say to Champ, beggars can't be choosers. 'Sides, the brick house was too big for me to sweep, and it was way out, and it's nice to be living down her among folks. Yes, we're glad to be here, But-- Some day, maybe we can have a house of our own again. We're sav- ing up-- Oh, dear, if we could have our own home! But these rooms are real nice, ain't they!" As old people will, the world over, they had moved as much as possible of their familiar furniture into this small space.

The Republican Party, the Grand Old Party of Blaine and McKinley, is the agent of the Lord and of the Baptist Church in temporal affairs. All socialists ought to be hanged.
