NO MAN IS STRONGER THAN
HIS STOMACH,

Let the greatest athlete have dyspepsia
and his muscles would soon fall Physi-
cal strength is derived from food. II q
man has insufficient food he loses strength.
II he has no food he dies. Food is con-
verted into nutrition through the stom-
ach and bowels. 1t depends on the
strength OF the stomach to what extent
food eaten is digested and assimilated.
People can die OF starvation who have
abundant food to eat, when the stomach
and its associate organs Of digestion and
nutrition do not perform their duty.
Thus the stomach Is really the vital or
gan OF the body. II the stomach Is weak"
the body will be weak also, because 1t Is
upon the stomach the body relies for its
strength. And as the body, considered as
q whole, Is made up OF its several mem
bers and organs, so the weakness of the
body as o consequence Of weak stom-
ach will be distributed among the or
gans which compose the body. II the
body Is weak because IL Is -nourished
that physical weakness will be found in
all the Organs-heart, liver, kidneys, etc.
The liver will be torpid and inactive,
giving rise to biliousness, loss Of appetite,
weak nerves, feeble or irregular action Of
heart, palpitatlon, dizziness, headache,
backache and kindred disturbances and
weaknesses.

Guthrie to Be Capital.

TO MAKE OIL WELLS YIELD.
The Benzine Treatment Found
EffiCacious to the Heavy
Variety.

Cherryvale, kas., May.-Benzine is
being used in some parts OF the Ken.
sas field, where the oil Is heavy, to
cut the accumulation OF sand from
the bottom OF the hole and increase
the flow OF the we'll. AS everybody
knows, an oil we'll decreases In Ca
pacity with age, and some OF the
wells In the heavy oil districts OF
Kansas have decreased from twenty
barrels, two or three years ago, to
less than five barrels.
A short time ago a stranger from
Pennsylvania was watching the
pumping OF well in Humboldt. he
asked some questions ss to how
much the we'll had made when 1t was
first drilled, and then he said In an
off-hsnd way.
"Why don't you fellows put two
or three barrels Of benlne In the
bottom Of that we'll. eut away the
sand and other stuff which has &C.
cumulated and then you will have
more oil.
The men at the we'll thought he
was Joking, but finally decided to
try the experiment. The result was
that the production OF the we'll was
increased from three to more than
ten barrels daily. And the we'll is
still In good condition. Other oil
men around Humboldt are begin
ming to try the "benzine treatment"
and it has been found successful
WHERE yer tried.
But the producers OF light oil need
not try II. The sand does not pile
mp in the same way and does not
form the same kind OF heavy,
gummy stuff which gets together In
the heavy oil wells and prevent the
outlet Of the petroleum. The same
treatment applied to q light oil well
would tend TO make It gassy and de-
stroy much Of It's output, liz were
not totally destroyed. The benxine
treatment has been used in light oil
wslls whsn II was necessary to mini.
mise their production.

Kansas City Cattle Market

Of the Live Stock Exchange, EN-
bodying this proposition. Mr.. Rob

New York, Mar. 7.-FOrty-two mil
lion dollars represents the advance
made by the electrical industry last

York EXPERTS prove that the greatest
cain ever made came in 1919. In the
previous year the gain was only ten
ner cent. Last year an increase OF

of twenty per cent

Wire and cable manufacturers gained

shown in miscellaneous apparatus
which totals S25.OOOOOO. The only
n,anufacturers who have stood still
are fbe field of electrical clocks. In
the lightning field the gains have been
enormous.
