NURSE WHO WON
CROIX DE GUERRE
TO SPEAK HERE
Back from the war hospitals of Eu
■ops, Miss Flornece Bullard, who was
awarded the Croix de Guerre with
stars for “Imperturable” brav
under fire, will tour the Redpath
Cbaaitauquas in a public health and
tsonimunity welfare campaign.
Miss Bullard comes with the sanc
of the American Red Cross and
&rr lecture offers a specific answer
te tire question of what the Red Cross
w.going to do in time of peace. Her
appearance is in line with a new
policy of the American Red Cross.
This policy includes such vital ques
rS&ns as the public health nurse, home
fcygiene, home care of the sick and
borne cooking.
Miss Bullard who is a graduate of
Mayo Brothers' Training School,
Rochester, Minn., went to Europe a
year before America entered the war
suui was with the French Army. She
vusrere-s to the plafform with wondetful
(background of experience gained by
fcer work over-seas. She brings her
smdjence the lessons she learned in
Jbe base hospitals in France and of
flbe evacuation stations of Chateau
Thierry and Argonne.
With regard to the appearance of
Ttuch speakers as Miss Bullard to the
Oautauqua platform, the director of
She Speakers’ Bureau of the Ameri
can Red Cross says:
"They have been brought con
tact with hospital service, the care of
wounded and: the maimed, but many
them have come into contact with
the refugees, the sick, the famished
ajbd the tubercular —all sorts (gnd
kinds of malnutrition and starvation.
It seeemd a pity ahtt such peculiar
ability as they bring should be allow
ad to subside at once into ordinary
channels of routine nursing. Active
ly, materially they would be the ideal
gpmrJaliners of a new public health
gospel, their theories re-enforced by
the tremenous actuality of their war
graining.’’

Nervousness and
Headaches Caused
by Acid-Stomach
'Ttiere Is a much closer connection
iMAween the stomach and brain than
JBinst people imagine. It is because of
ttds close connection that indigestion,
Ibefching, sour, gassy stomach and
-other stomach miseries—all of which
*re sure signs of acid stomach—are so
often followed by severe attacks of
idinding, splitting headaches.
Nervousness, sleeplessness, irritabil
’fty,mental depression .melancholia and
many other disorders which affect the
tonur') can also nearly always be traced
lo the same source—acid-stomach.
So often you hear people say ‘‘l am

«r“'J.teaems I never get a’gooa night’s
ateHy any more, my nerves are all on
’ Little do they dream that acid
•Momacb is the direct cause of their
atwobles because very often there are
a®*}rains in the stomach at all. So you
aee, , you can’t always judge an acid

If -you are weak, nervous, unfit—if

Dentists warn us against the bad
effects of acid mouth, pointing out
that the acid eats through the enamel
of the teeth, causing them tp decay.
You can easily imagine then the
amount of damage excess acid will
cause to the delicate organization of
the stomach!
Thousands of people are using
EATONIC and the results obtained are
so remarkable as to be almost unbe
lievable. Yet their letters of gratitude,
many of which are received daily,
prove absolutely that EATONIC does
all and even more than we claim. The
medical profession, too, recognizes tha
great value of this wonderful remedy.
A learned Michigan doctor wrote re

success with EATONIC that I want
every one to know how quickly it will
neutralize the acidity of the the stom
ach (acid-stomach) and the stomach
will soon be sweet and normal again,

Adequate, Telephone Rates
Are Now Needed
For more than two years it has been evident that the increasing
costs of operation, caused by the increasing costs of labor, material
and services, would necessitate a readjustment of rates and charges
for teleohone service.
P> esent telenhone rates were fixed at a time when the costs of
< peration were much lower. The costs of present day labor and
materia' is reflected by the increased cost to the public of all services
and commodities; and the higher costs for these elements of telephone
operation in turn make a readjustment of telephone charges even more
urgent.
Plans to secure a revision of rates had been completed by this
company at the time the United States Government assumed control
cf its lines and properties on August 1, 1918. The United States
Government now, after actual experience in the operation of the
properties, hnds the same need for increased revenue to prevent an
. ctual operating loss, which the company foresaw.
A continuation of telephone service at the present rates up to
this lime has been possible only by the complete utilization of the
normal surplus facilities maintained by the Bell System and partly
because of new and more economical methods of operation which
have been introduced.
We have effected every possible economy and utilized our plant
to the limit, so the only way the Government can secure additional
revenu iisby an adjustment of the rates. Operation by the Govern
ment has verified the urgency of the need of additional revenue to
meet the greatly increased costs of operation.
Jhe rates for telephone service necessary to preserve the balance
betwee . revenue and expenses will, on the average, result in a small
increase as compared with the increases applied during the past few
years ‘g all othr commodities and services in general.
