DYSPEPSIA
OF WOMEN
Special Treatment Required

Many women suffer from q form Of
indigestion or dyspepsia which does not
yield to ordinary treatment. While the
symptoms are similar to those of ordi-
nary indigestion, yet the medicines
usually prescribed do not res tore the
patients normal condition.
There seems to be kind of dyspepsia
caused by arrangement of the female
organism. While this appears to be the
same as ordinary indigestion it can be
relieved only by medicine which, be-
sides acting as stomach tonic, is good
for female ailments. Read what such
q medicine did for Mrs. Williams =

CORN TO CUT
COST OF FOODS
State Chemist Thinks Star Crop o,
Iowa Should be
Utilized.

Eat corn products as q means OF
reducing the high cost Of living. This
advice Is given by w. H. Harrison,
assistant state chemist.
He declares that one pound OF corn
meal is equal in food value to twenty
two eggs. sixteen potatoes, or thirty
apples.
At the present market price Of
eggs, it would require "a cents worth
of eggs to equal one pound of corn
meal at cents pound, Mr.. Harrt-
son says.
Three cents worth Of corn meal
equals the following values in other
foods, according to Mr.. Harrison's
table: Milk, 1872 cents; cheese, "a
cents; eggs, 81 cents; round steak.
Al cents; bread, 10 cents; potatoes,
IA cents; cabbage, 351h cents; beans,
Ia cents; oranges. 50 cents: apples.
80 cents; bananas, 81 cents; prunes,
IA cents; walnuts, 32h cents; honey
20 cents.
Iowa produces more corn than any
other field CROP" said Mr.. Harrison.
"Corn products therefore should be
popular In this state.
zone pound Of corn meal is worth
ten times that amount Of the pre-
many ways Of preparing it. 1t can
be made into corn meal mush, or
fried mush for breakfast. In the
shape Of hominy the corn may be
used to good advantage. Corn bread
is fine and 1t was exceedingly popu-
lar with the pioneers. Corn cakes
with syrup go well for breakfast.
Real economy can be practiced by
substituting corn products for some
of the foods which are now served
in every home. Not only will the cost
be reduced, but the corn will pro-
vide more nourishment than other
foods"
Under the direction of w. B. Bar
ney, state dairy and food department,
an exhibit of corn products is being
prepared for display at the corn show
to be held in Des Moines. This ex-
hibit will show practically all of the
articles of food made in Iowa out of
corn and will show the relative value
compared with other foods.

How Mines Are Laid and Fired.

.ssS
On one deck of a vessel are several
narrow tracks supporting the mines,
each of which is mounted on wheels.
Each mine is in turn rolled to the stern
and by means Of special launching
tracks is dropped into the sea without
fitting. One mine of this character is
made up of three parts-a spheri.
cal floating chamber containing the
explosives, etc.; an anchor chamber
which is connected with the former
BY cable and weighted sounding
line. The length of the latter is equal
to the depth at which the mine is to
doat. When the end of the sounding
line strikes bottom the lessening of its
pull throws pawl which prevents the
drum in the anchor chamber from pay
Ing out more cable to the sphere. Con.
sequently the latter is drawn under
water to a depth equal to the length
Of the sounding line, as the anchor
chamber settles TO the bottom-Popu-

HOW GAS JET ORIGINATED
Emergency Use Of Woman's Thimbls
Gives an Inventor the
Idea.

A woman's thimble is said to have
been the means Of suggesting the first
gas burner.
William Murdoch, the inventor, first
burned the gas simply as fame from
the end of pipe. One day In an emer.
gency he wished to stop the illumina.
tion. Hurriedly looking around for
something, Murdock seized his wife's
thimble and thrust 1t over the light
which was Immediately extinguished.
There was strong odor of gas, how.
ever, says the Popular Science Month.
~, and the experimenter applied q
light to the thimble, discovering that
1t was full Of holes. through which tiny
jets Of flame appeared. The impor-
tance of the result was that the illumi-
nation from those two or three tiny
jets was much brighter than had been
given by the great flare from the. end
Of the pipe, Acting on the principle
which this chance discovery revealed,
he constructed what was known as the
Cockspur burner.
