Just Another Way of Say
ing You’re Suffering
from Acidity!
So restless you can't be still a
moment. Something seems to be
churning within you. You can't eat
—can't sleep—can't work. You're
"all in,” yet you always want to be
on the go. That's one of the phases
of an acid condition.
Magnesia Oxoids. developed in Ger
many by a famous pharmaceutical
house, correct acidity in the right
way. Magnesia Oxoids, upon contact
with the acid in the stomach, gen
erate nascent or active oxygen.
This stimulates the alkaline gastric
mucus, checks intestinal putrefac
tion and promotes bowel action—
all of which are necessary to the
true correction of acidity Get a
package of Magnesia Oxoids today
and take two after each meal. See
how much better you feel. If not
more than surprised with the results,
your money back. For sale by

ANTI-TRUST LAWS
BLAMED FOR LULL
Legal Limits Prevent Orderly Ad
vance of Industry, Statistician
Tells Army College Students.
The United States might have avert
ed the present business depression, but
for the limitations imposed on leaders
of industry by the Sherman anti-trust
act in denying them proper co-opera
tion, L. Seth Schnitman, chief statisti
cian of the F. W. Dodge Corporation of
New York City, told students at the
United States Army industrial College
yesterday afternoon.
“We need a more intensive use of ex
isting facts,” he asserted. “And we
need a loosening up of the laws to per
mit co-ordinated intelligent usage of the
available data."
Mr. Schnitman pointed out that “dur
ing the war we found it convenient to
forget the anti-trust laws,” adding that j
"through the instrumentalities of the!
War Industries Board we entered into
a necessary Nation-wide conspiracy in
restraint of trade under governmental
sanction.”
This condition he contrasted with
peace-time, saying: “The three busi
ness men, the five corporations which
would in time of peace dare to come
together to restrict already overflow
ing inventories in lumber or steel or
copper or oil would be guilty of con
spiracy against the anti-trust acts
which control our trade.
“Facts, figures, information. Here
are our instrument, but, like a primi
tive captain, we refuse to chart our
business course by our modern instru
ments of commercial navigation.”
HOOVER STANDS PAT
ON PENSION MEASURE
* .
Hines Announces President's Atti
tude on Proposed Legislation
After Conference.
By the Associated Press.
Frank T. Hines, administrator of vet
erans’ affairs, discussed with President
Hoover yesterday the measure to pro
vide pensions for certain classes of sol
dier widows and orphans, which is ac
tively opposed by the administration.
Hines, who testified on the measure
before a House committee, said the Pres
ident has not changed his attitude that
there should be “no additional benefits
this year because of existing conditions.”
The bill, backed by virtually all vet
erans’ organizations, would provide
$200,000,000 over a five-year period for
widows and orphans and dependent
mothers and fathers of men who died |
of non-service-connected disability.
Hines explained the measure would
call for only $20,000,000 the first year,
but that this cost would rise rapidly, j
: costing in the fifth year $56,000,000.
