FOOD SOURS
BOUT two hours after eating
many people suffer from sour
stomachs. They ea11 it indigestion. It
means that the stomach nerves have
been over -stimulated. There is excess
acid. The way to correct it is with an
alkali, which neutralizes many times
its volume in acid.
The right way is Phillips' Milk of
Magnesia -just a tasteless dose in
water. It is pleasant, efficient and
harmless. Results come almost in-
stantly. It is the approved method.
You will never use another when
you know.

physicians for correcting excess acids.

COUNTY COUNCIL
(Continued from page Two)
here. Reeve MCKibbon, of Wingham,
chairman of. the committee, said that
planations given to questions asked
yesterday and considered that .'these
matters should be made known to the
public. It would clear the air of
many ugly rumors, it was explained
by the Warden. Much. of today's ses-
sion was taken up with the presenta-
tion of 'county officers' reports.
Would. Ban Snowplows
A resolution asking that Provincial
snowplows be kept off the highways
this winter in the interest of econ-
omy was sent to the good roads corn-
m'tf,ee.
Council unanimously passed a mo-
tion calling the attention of the gov-
ernment to the fact that this year it
spent over $44,000 (one mill) on the
highways in Huron county, which is
a breach of a verbalagreementwhich
the council made with Hon. G. A.
Henry when he was Minister of
Highways.
Concluding Session
The county council at its conclud-
ing session, by a vote of 21 to 7,
endorsed a motion of Reeves McNab
and Geiger asking the Provincial.
Inspector Fairful had told him that .Government not toundertake any
he (Fairful) had instructions not to paving in. Huron County until condi-
tion are improved. The yeas and
nays were 'called. for on the division.
The council concluded -its 1931 delib-
erations in the evening.
The council also decided not to do
any snowplowing on county roads
this winter, but left thequestion of
to reduce the age qualification to for- keeping Provincial highways open to
ty years. This should make a lot of the discretion of .the Government.
The vote was 15 to 9.
A clause in the legislative commit-
tee's report asking that doctors or
confer arconsult county old age pen-
- sion boards in the course of his inves-
tigations.
The suggestions to reduce the age
qualification was held up to ridicule
by one councillor after another.
"I suppose the next move will be
'people's limp a little more pronounc-
ed," said Reeve .Wright.

lar 'enough as it is," said Reeve Mc- ' whoever is responsible for taking in -

"I know of numerous people lying

Reeve McKibbon, who championed
the clause.
