30 A digestive aid that quits when its task is done ASTROGEN Tablets are good — very good—for the prompt relief of indiges- tion, gas and other after-dinner discomfort. So are bicarbonate of soda and preparations containing it. | But there's one objection to alkalies like “bicarb"—one respect in which they go too far. Unless you measure your dose toa nicety, | your stomach is left with an alkaline residue which interferes with normal digestion. Gastrogen Tablets do not disturb normal digestion The stomach, you know, should be slightly acid (1/5 of one percent). And until nature restores this delicate balance of acidity, normal | digestion cannot proceed. The interesting thing about Gastrogen Tab- lets is that the moment they overcome the | hyperacidity that makes you uncomfortable, they stop their work. Your stomach remains “in neutral.” Any excess of Gastrogen Tablets simply passes along through your system with- | out further effect. You might eat a pound of them, and they would have no power to alka- | lize the contents of your stomach. | So, next time your dinner brings you dis- comfort, try Gastrogen Tablets. They are mild, safe, effective. They will quickly drive away your indigestion, heartburn and gas. They are aromatic and pleasant to the taste, and they are extraordinarily good for sweet- | ening the breath. Your druggist has them in handy pocket tins of 15 tablets for 20c; also in cabinet-size bottles of 60 tablets for 60c. If you wish to try them before you buy them, send the coupon for free introductory packet of 6 tablets.

The Letters of a Modern Father My DEAR Son: Your letter inviting me to school for a football game was very well worded. It covered the ground, permitted you to feel that you had done your duty, and contained just enough synthetic cordiality to perfect the record. It shows you have in- herited a fair amount of my own genius, for the Ictter is almost iden- tical with one I wrote your grand- father in 1903. So I am enclosing a fifty-dollar bill, thanking you for as much of your invitation as you meant, and hoping you have as good a time as I did on my football week-ends back in the pre-stadium days. Your Arrectionate Fatuer. P. S.: Don’t feel sorry for me. I'm going to a game somewhere else the same day with a couple of other photographs from the family album. McCready Huston.
