A LOCAL LADY SPIT
UP ACID LIQUIDS FOR
HOURS AFTER EATING
For hours after every meal, a
Cherryville lady used to spit up
a strong, acidulous liquid mixed
with pieces of half-digested food
She says it was awful. At times
she would nearly strangle. She
j had stomach bloat, daily head
i aches and constant irregular bow

i her meals and enjoys them. Anc
she says the change is due to
taking INNER-AID. Her food
agrees with her.
No gas, bloat 6r spitting up

headaches now* and bowels are
regular, thanks to this Remarka

RAISE IN CAR
PRICES REFUSED
WASHINGTON, Nov. 13.—
Bitterly denouncing “government
by pressure,'’ Price Administra
tor Cheater Bowles told Congress
today he is rejecting demands oi
automobile dealer’s for higher
retail prices on new cars.
Appearing before the house
small business committee, the
OPA chief estimated members of
congress hav>e received more
than 5,000 telegrams protesting
OPA’s auto price plans, and de
“Two and one-half years in
Washington has made me some
thing of an expert on lobbyists
and pressure group tactics. I
have been alarmed at the ten
lency on the part of some to feel
that congress and governmental
officials should base their decis
ions, not on tne validity of a par
ticular issuue, but on the meas
ure of pressure which could be
focused at any given point.”
Bowles told the committee, in
the presence of hundreds of auto
dealers gathered in the house
caucus room, that the OPA price
schedules for new automobiles
the dealers ‘‘are likely to have
their best profit^ year in 1946."
He said OPA~ would announce
the prices Thursday.
