For Heartburn, Acidity, etc.
Bome years ago Mesure. Savory & Moore obtained possession of a formals by the calabrated Dr. Jenner for z lozenge possessing re markable power to absorb acidity in the stomach: They confidently recommend these lozenges, of which they are the sole manufacturers as safe and reliable remedy for HEARTBURN, FLATULENCE, ACIDITY, and digestive disorderis One or two lazanges give immediate relief, even in the worst cases, and taken before a meal prevent those distressing symptoms due to indigestion: which so frequently follow. Thousands of sufferers testify that they hare derived more benoit from Dr. Jeaner's Absorbent Lozenges than from any other remedy. They are plesant to take and quite harmless.
TESTIMONY:/
"One of the best and wisest things ever did ja my life wir to ask for a sample of your Dr.. Jennie's Absorbenti Loenges. Up to the present I have bad but your sample bux, another box you 'pentine, and one I bought from chemist. and I have practically lost all yaptosis of's most distrmning Heartburn and Acidity, from which I have suffered for yeats.

I got a large box and took them regularly for a fornight, when all trace of acidity was gone. I may my that I never take ́patent medicines.” but Dr. Jenner's name, compled with that of Savory & Moore, assured me turt at any rate. I should not be given any harmful drug. I am exceedingly glad - that I tried them at last.

As we walked down the street I happen ed to remember. about Jones's places Jones, I knew, wanted to sell it. He had h bought it four or five years ago for $3,000, It wasn't much of a house and there was only a pocket handkerchief lot in front of it. It ought to be a bargain...
I telephoned Jones, and he referred me to a real estate man
"I promised him I wouldn't sell it except through him," he said.
So we went to the real estate man He was in a hurry, like the other real estate man, but he paused long enough to look up the house in his card index "Fifteen thousand dollars, cash,”

What would you build me a nice little seven room house for inquired my. friend.
The builder covered a blotter with figures, added them up and replied:
I could build you a very nice house of that size for fifteen or sixteen thousand dollars.
So we gave it up. It was necessary for my friend to remain in the metropolis over the winter. So he rented a lot on the outskirts of the city and bought a tent

LUXURY OF LINERS.
Now that the liner companies are re plenishing their fleets as the shipyards Be able to accommodate their vessels, considerable speculation has been made as to the character of the furnishings, Will they be equal to the splendour of the apartments found in ships built during 1913 and 1914? The subject is discussed in the Annual Review Number of Ship building and Shipping Record and number of illustrations are given show ing the elaborate furnishings of passenger ships of the immediate pre-war ipériod. None of the leading companies as yes ins dicate any desire to return to the Bigahips of the Ayıntania sad Olympic clants, but it is believed that the intermedis to class liners now being built will be as comfort able and elaborately, furnished as their predecessors One liner which, being finished this year was to have been de 6orated at a pre-war cost of 287,000, and the new contract provides for similar decorations costing £180,000 Italy and France are said to be producing some ecially lavish ships in the diese future
