Shall Walk Today
By Glrace Noll Crowell, in "Seribners,"
I shall walk to -day upon' a high green
hill,
I shall forget the walls and the roofs
of the town;
This burden, strapped to my back,
sbell be unloosed,
And I shall leave. it there wheel I come
down.
Warm is the hill upon which I shall
walk to -day;
Gold is the sun upon the close -cropped
grass,
And something of the peace of grazing
sheep
Shall' permeate my being as I pass:
Something of the look within their
eyes
Of upland pastures, and of clean wind
I blown—
The tranquil, trusting look of those
who know'
And shepherd watcliest I shall make
my own,
And I shall gather the little wind flow-
ers there,
And press their sweetness upon my
heart to stay,
',Men T. shall go back to the walls and
the roofs of the town,
Stronger than I have been for many
a day.

WHAT many people call indiges-
tion very often: means excess
acid in the stomach. The stomach
nerves have been over -stimulated,
and food sours. The corrective is an
alkali, which neutralizes the acids
instantly. And the best alkali known
to medical science is Phillips' Milk
of Magnesia.
One spoonful of this harmless,
tasteless alkali in water neutralizes
instantly many times that much
acid, and 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.
