The Cause of Gas

Gas on the stomach indicates that food has
fermented. The food is usually starch
1t ferments because it doesn't digest. The
food was not properly cooked. The particles of
starch have not been separated that the di-
gestive juices get to them.
The remedy is not artificial digester-nor
pre-digested food.
The remedy is to supply the starch in shape
to be digested. Then let the stomach do the work
for which it is intended
When you toast bread; you notice that it di-
gests better You have applied more heat
broken up more of the starch
But the perfect food for a weak stomach is
Mapl-Fiake. No other food in the world is
cooked we'll as that.
Our wheat is steam cooked for six hours.
Then cured for 80 hours. Then each separate
berry is f1aked'so thin that the full heat of our
ovens get to each atom. Then the flakes are
toasted, for 80 minutes, in heat of 4O0degrees.
The result is food that's all food, because
it all dgests. No part will ferr1ent to cause d.
gestive disorders. Try it and see.

ARMOR BELTS ARE
TO BE WORN LOWER

WASHINGTON August 24.-The
summer conference of officers at the
Naval War College at Newport, which
for the last six weeks has been discuss
ing battleship designs, will not recon-
mend any immediate changes in loca-
ton of the width of the main armor
belt. 1t was learned here today that
two new battleships, the Florida and
lection along the water line as the,
vessels of the Delaware type. The Das5
aware type of battleships have maiF'
armor belt eight feet wide, six and
three fourths feet of which is below
the water line at full load. 1t isl
eleven inches in thickness at midships.
For future battleships, however, the
report will recommend that the armor
belt be lowered, because the great adj
vance toward perfecting torpedoes and
increasing their radius of action has
demonstrated that greater protection
below the water line will have to be
provided.
The conference has also decided that
fve-inch rather than siX-inch guns areV
better as the principal guns of the
secondary battery for defense against
torpedo attack There will be no
change, however, in the size or location
of the larger guns.
No changes in the construction of
the battleships, it is said, will be made.
Military masts will be abandoned, and
the new battleships will be equipped
with one, and possibly two, steel fire.

lar to the type tested recently in
Hampton Roads.
1t is understood the report of the
conference will be submitted to Pres- !
dent Roosevelt in few days, and as
soon as he has approved the plans, pre-
liminary work will begin at the New
York Navy Yard, and advertisements
will be issued for the construction of
the Utah, which is to be built by pri-
vate contract.

no seed. The unexpanded f1oweV
punches can be used for palm.cabbagei

cordage. The town Elche, in Spain, is
surrounded by planted forests of about
10000 date palms, and the sale of leaves
for decorative purposes produces con.
siderable income TO the town, irrespec-
tive of the value of the date fruits;
and so it is at Alicante. AS far north
as the Gulf of Genoa also date for

palm grows from seeds affords facility
in adapted climes to initiate these ex-
amples, and we certainly ought to fol-
low them in all parts of Australia and
in similar climes. The best dates are
grown in GASES, where fresh water
gushes from the ground in abundance
and spreads over light soil of the des-
ert subject to burning winds. The "a

No Other Losses Reported

The winds.storm of Wedne day night
seems TO have been severe in parts of

storm was very severe doing consid-

down, wrecking the building and Il
lot of machinery, ears, etc, 10 the
extent of about -, 600 or more. Mr.
Shafer said the wind was very severe
in his section-the worst of the sea-
son.
Report from Blueiield says that a
large building was unroofed and a
church steeple blown down and
other small buildings injured.
The storm was not regarded as Sc

while pretty severe, shaking houses,
and keeping few nervous people
awake but no damage so far has
been reported except at Tip>TOp.
