Most of US eat three times a day

called indigestion or dyspepsia, with
its sour risings, gas, rumblipgs. pain,
depression and the feeling of stuff
ness when breathing is difficult.

most reliable one, because you can
get 1t at any drug store in the United
states or Canada, is Stuart's Dys-

stead of depriving yourself of food or
going on starvation diet simply

tablets straighten out your stomach

Herrings were sold at three for a
penny at Berwick-on-Tweed, Scotland.
recently. They were landed in such
large quantities that In the forenoon,
asserts a correspondent, the townspeo-
pie were getting supplies free. Owing
to the shortage Of labor the fish curers
were unable to deal with the. catches,
which sold at r~idiculously low prices.
What a feast the people Of Berwick
must have had on that dayi What APP
petizing incense arose from thousands
of sizzling >frying-pans and gridirons |
Men would be lured from their labors
by the smell Of the s~ucculent fish.
What If the beefsteak of old England
has gone to the bottom /; 1t has emerged
from the deep in a Fich-nay, richer
''silver harvest of the seal" The
sportive little herring is immune from
the torpedo, and laughs at Tirpitz's

The besieged inhabitants Of the sea-
grit isle may yet be saved by the smell
of a herring. 1t would indeed be poet
zeal justice IL a mere sprat should be
the al Of throttling the %all-devour-
ing submarine. For, the herring are
the most democratic Of fishes; they
are the common people Of the sea-
the masses-and are the most beloved
by their prototypes on land.

KEYPORT CHAPTER AGAIN
READY TO COLLECT CLOTHES
Belgians Need Garments, Old and
New, Z Prepare for Winter
Turn Them In

-
KEYPORT, Sept. 20:-In response
to a special cable message of Herbert
Hoover, whereby he sets forth the
plight of the men, women and chill
dren In occupied Belgium, the Red
Cross has set aside the week OF Sep
TENDER 70 to 80 for a special cam
paign to collect an additional supply
of clothing for the Belgians. Chap
tiers have been assigned their quota
of the divisional allotments designat-
ed by national headquarters. The
minimum allotment for the Atlantic
division, of which the Keyport chap
ter is a branch, is 1000 tons.
In outlining to branches the in
structions for the collection of cloth
ing to be sent to the Belgians, the
Red Cross urges the need of every
kind of garment for all ages and for
both sexes. Canton flannel and other
kinds of cloth from which to make
garments for newborn babies as well
as sheeting. ticking and blankets,
wooden goods of all kinds and shoes
of every size are asked for. Scrap
leather is needed for repairing shoes.
Since the clothes will be subjected
to the hardest kind of wear. onIy
garments made of strong and durable
materials should be sent. Garments
need not be In perfect condition. A
hundred thousand destitute women
in the occupied regions are eager to
earn a small livelihood by repairing
gift clothing and making new gar
ments. Mems shirts and pajamas can
be made into children's garments.
Wool goods and soft hats and caps
for all ages are most acceptable as
well as sweaters.
