WHAT BECOMES OF THEM.

What happens to the winners of Sweepstake prizes?

This question has been upper- most in many minds recently while, the prize money involved in the Irish Sweepstake hung in the bal Ance, pending the running of the Manchester Handlemp, The race has now been run; the prizewinnersi

Inquiries in various parta of England disclose at least one faci about the lucky ticket-holders in most large sweepstakes; for the part they disappear, and are never heard of again. In 1922 the Cal- cutla Sweep was won by a girl inf

Others maintain an in- scrutable silence. A Narth Conn- try basiness man, who won large prize in the Calcutta Sweep several years ago, mnounced his intention af giving a proportion of it to ebarity; he is still working with the firm to which he was attached before his stroke of luck. | A lady, however, who won a sum of several a Derby Sweep, last thousands in year, expressed strong resentment when she was asked how she had disposed of her fortune,

Digestive trouble is nearly always due to excess acid which not only interrupts digestion but ferments food, attacks the stomach ning and, if unchecked, may eventu ally cause ulcers.
