Reports Banner Year in
Production of Minerals

THE year 1913 was our banner yeai
in the production of minerals ac'
cording to an announcement by Sec
retary Lane. The statement was bas'
ed upon figures presented to MIN by
the Geological Survey. The Secretary
further said:
Our mineral production in 1913
reached the unequaled amount of 81
SOC, ,OOO,00 which was an increase OF
more than $500. 900 900 over the out
put for 1912. and of s5oo,ooo.ooo over
the 1911 figures.
"All who are in touch with the min
eral industry expect still further in
crease in future years by reason of the
new opportunities for marketing min
eral products on account of the Euro
pean war and the opening of the Pana-
ma canal. Already a beginning has been
made in the exploitation of domestic
sources of minerals which hitherto
had been largely imported into this
country or for which there had been
no foreign markets open to the United
States"

WHAT DYSPEPTICS
SHOULD EAT
A PHYSICIANS ADVICE,

indigestion and practically all
forms of stomach trouble are, nine
times out Of ten. due to acidity; there
fore stomach sufferers should. when
ever possible. avoid eating food that
is acid in its nature. or which by
chemical action in the stomach de-
velops ac!dity. Unfortunately. such
a rule eliminates most foods which
are pleasant to the taste as well as
those which are rich in blood. flesh
and nerve building properties. This
is the reason why dyspeptics and
stomach sufferers are usually so thin,
emaciated and lacking in that vital
energy which can only come from
a well fed body. For the benefit Of
those sufferers who have been
obliged to exclude from their diet Rll
starchy, sweet or fatty food. and are
trying to keep up a miserable exist
ence on gluten products. l would
suggest that you should try a meal
of any food or foods which you may
like. in moderate amount, taking i'm
mediately afterwards a teaspoonful
OF bisurated magnesia in little hot
or cold water. This will neutralize
any acid which may be present, or
which may be formed. and instead of
the usual feeling of uneasiness and
fullness. you will find that your food
agrees with you perfectly. Bisurated
magnesla is doubtless the best food
corrective and antacid known. 1t has
no direct action on the stomach; but
by neutralizing the acidity of the food
contents, and thus removing the
source Of the acid irritation which in
flames the delicate stomach lining, it
does more than could possibly be done
by any drug or medicine. AS a phys
ician, / believe in the use of medicine
whenever necessary. but l must ad
nit that l cannot see the sense Of
dosing an inflamed and irritated
stomach with drugs instead OF get
ting rid of the acid-the cause of all
the trouble. Get a little bisurated
magnesia from your druggist, eat
what you want at your next meal. take
some of the bisurated magnesia as
above. and see il I'm not

DOCTORS ODD DEATH REPORT
Many Physicians Certificates Disclose
Alterations Of Sense in Giving
Cause OF Death.

The chief stat.stician of Wisconsin,
in examing death certificates filed by
physicians with the state board of
health. has discovered and disclosed
some Of more than local interest.
They reveal alterations Of sense and
science in the diagnosis OF disease and
the causes of death as TO merit con-
sideration from reformers who wish
to put nearly every act OF human life
under medical supervision.
A few instances must serve to illus
trate the nature OF a multitude One
report is this: Went to bed feeling
will. but woke up dead Another
says: do not know the cause OF
death. but patient fully recovered from

illness caused by chronic rheumatism.
but was cured before death" Still an
other; Deceased never had boon fatal

nothing serious"
Some reports are mere absurdities.

the thought that he would see Betsy
Barbara in Office hours as well as out
rendered 1t very feeble. So Betsy-Bar-
bara fell to work on the secondhand
typewriter; and she had SO far pro-
crossed that she could write a pass
ably good business letter in four at
tempts and mornings time.
On the scene OF brisk business ac-
tivity suddenly entered Rosalie LIE
Grange. As she stepped into the door
she was large-eyed. serious, a-quiyer
with inner intensity. She broke into
a smile, however as she surveyed the
Thomas w North Advertising Agency
at work. Both Tommy and his anna.
tour steuographer had heard the
steps; but each. as people will do
when they are intent. failed to look
up from his uncompleted line until
startled by Rosalie's:

CHAPTER XIV.
A Stroke Of Luck

A Stroke Of Luck.
We come now TO the most crowded
day in all the crowded life OF Roealie
lie Grange. We begin. indeed, with
Resale lie Grange out OF the stage
picture. We are In the Office of the
Thomas W. North Advertising Agency
In lower Fifth Avenue. Tommy North
sits at cheap but neat desk, brand
new like all the furnishings OF that
little old office. He is laborins for
an accurate and arresting headline to
proclaim the safety. and yet the dead
Illness, OF a new automatic revolver.
At the typewriter desk in the corner
sits Betsy-Barbara Lane, inexpertly
tapping the keys with two fingers OF
her right hand and one of her left
And as Betsy Barbara smiles trium-
phantly over this fair line, frowns at
that foul one, purses her lips over the
other hard combination, her radiance
fills and Eliminates the Thomas w.
North Advertising Agency.
From inception to interior furnish
ings, 1t is all Betsy.Barbara. Hers
was the choice and placing of the
green Mission furniture. Hers was
the selection OF the pictures, their ar
rangement in relation to the wall
spaces. That 1t might be a pleasant
place for work, she picked out prints
of her favorite pictures-the Countess
Potolka, the Baby Stuart and the
Duchess of Devonshire. To give it a
business air she added framed pho
tograph of the Union Station in st.
Louis. Further, Betsy-Barbara found
the most spectacular specimens of ad-
vertising design executed by Thomas
w. North, set them in passe-partouts
with her own hands, and hung them
just where they would invite the eye
and confidence of customers. She re-
membered also the soul needs of Mr..
Thomas W. North himself. In the
interstices of the decorations she
placed such notices as she deemed
best for him. as DO 1t Now" Indus

nificant of all to one who understood
the reason for the Thomas W. North

decorations she had added more and

For life, what time she was not
busy with the solace OF Constance,
hung heavy nowadays on the capa-
BILE hands OF Betsy-Barbara. Just
when she realized that what she need
ed was work. she found that the CORE
spondence of the Thomas w. North
Agency was getting greater than
Tommy himself could handle. She
announced at once her intention OF
learning the typewriter and doing that
work herself-all for the good of the
enterprise. To this proposal, Tommy
entered a protest of conscience; but
