The BIVIEING ROD

sHardheaded businessmen who have brought
here from the Antipodes an alleged expert in
finding hidden sources of water, and who hope
that the exercise OF his occult powers will solve
the irrigation problem of Lanai, will be interest

No appliance, either mechanical or electric has
yet been devised that will detect water in places
where plain common sense and close observation will
not show its presence just well. Numerous
chanieal devices have been proposed for detecting
the presence of underground water, ranging in COM
plexiy from the simple forked branch of witch hazel
peach. other tree to more or less elaborate
chanical or electric contrvances Many of the oper

belief that the working of the rod is influenced by
enthusiastically regarded electric currents fol-
Lowing underground streams of water-that are en-
tiIely independent OF their bodies. and many
people have implicit faith in their and others
ability to locate underground water in this way. In
experiments with a rod made from a forked branch

tests showed that this downNrnng resulted from

could be detected and il became. obvious that
the view held by other men of science is correct
that the operation of the "divning rod is generally
due to unconscious movements of the body of the
muscles OF the hand. The experiments made show
that these movements most frequently at
places where the operators experience has led him
to believe that water may he found.
The uselessness of the divning rod is indicated

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. g.
After 20 years OF indifference to
the life and lot Of Jos. NJ. Car
mona, society for the first time
has taken q sudden interest in
him when the federal authorities
caused his arrest ON q chHerge of
stealing from the mails a few toys
for his two children and a dozen
silver spoons to grace the humble
family table. He WAS porter in
the pOstoffice building.
Jos. Carm0na, tho struggling
worker, the man who supported
his family of four ON $50 per
month and for many months when
enforced idleness cut off even this
meager wage didn't in the least
concern society. But now that
Joe Carmona has turned thief, ms
neighbors near and far are shalx-
ing their heads with suddenly
quickened interest.
'.WhO is this man, this thief?''
they are asking.
Yes, he is a thief. He has adj

shame. He returned the stolen
articles to the governments men
Ia doll for his baby girl, Bonita,
2 years old; two petticoats for his
wife; pair of stockings. and a
dozen silver spoons and forks.
And now he's a federal prisoner.
At the age of 8, little Joe
Carmona began helping his father
keep the wolf from the door at
San Bernardino. He sold news
papers. A little lated he polished
shoes while his more fortunate
neighbors' children went whistling
on their way TO school.
At this time all society cared for
Joe was that he, rubbed their boots
spotless.

STOMACH STARVER RS
EAT Anything NOW
NO INDIGESTION OR UPSET
STOMACH FOR "PAPE'S DNA-
PEPSIN" USERS.

Every year regularly more than
a million stomach sufferers in the
United States, England and Can
ada take Pape's Diapepsin, and
realize not only immediate, but
lasting relief.
This harmless preparation will,
digest anything you eat and over
come sour, gassy or out-of-order
stomach five minutes afterwards.
If your meals don't fit comfor-
tably, or what you eat lies like a
lump of lead in your stomach, or
II you have heartburn, that is a
sign of indigestion.
Get from your pharmacist a
fifty-cent case of Pape's Diapcp-
sin and take a dose just as soon
as YOU can. There will be nc
sour risingS no belching of undi-
gested food mixed with acid, nc
stomach gas or heartburn, full
ness or heavy feeling in the storn-
ach, nausea. facilitating head
aches, dizziness or intestinal grip
ing. This will all go, and, be-
sides, there will be no sour food
left over in the stomach to poison
your breath with nauseous doors.
Pape's Diapepsin is a certain
cure for out-of-order stomachs,
because 1t takes hold of your fo I'd
and digests it just the same as ii
your stomach wasn't there.
Relief In five minutes from all
stomach misery is waiting for you
at any drug store.
These large fifty-cent cases con-
tain more than sufficient to thor
oughly cure almost any case of
dyspepsia, indigestion or any 9th
er stomach disorder.
