Watch Your Stomach
In the Summer II Time

Hot summer days upset the
strong stomachs as well as weak
ones.
Your vital forces reach their
lowest level when the weather is
the hottest. Then the danger Is
the greatest.
You can't guard your stomach
and bowels too carefully through
the long, hot season. Don't take
any chance. Indigestion, sour
otomach, that wretched, bloated
feeling, belching, food repeating,
pains that claw at stomach and
bowels and an endless train of
stomach ills that make life mis-
cradle are greatly aggravated in
the hot weather.
This year of all others-it is
vital that we keep our strength
and full power at work. The ex-
ira war work, change OF diet-all
must be looked after because they
hit US in the stomach. And now

SOLDIERS adopted BY PIG
Odd Mascot That History Records az
Attaching Itself to Company of
Kentucky Volunteers.

There is in the history of the state
of Kentucky an odd incident in con-
nectiOn with the invasion of Canada
by the Kentucky troops in 1872 A
company of volunteers, destined for
Selby's army, assembled at Harrods-
burg and formed a nucleus around
which the military recruits of the
country gathered on the march to the
Ohio.
On the outskirts of the town named,
so the story runs, the company saw
two pigs fighting and delayed the
march to watch the combat. When the
march recommended it was observed
that the victorious pig was following
the company; and when the men en-
camped at night, the animal lay down
near at hand. Of course the soldiers
fed their plump recruit. The next day
the pig followed them, and this it did
daily on the march to the river.

Armv Makes Record Meat Purchase.

Army Makes Record Meat Purchase,
Chicago.-The largest single order
for bacon and canned meats in the
history of the world-99, 100000
pounds of bacon and 134,000,000 pounds
of canned meat-has just been placed
by the Quartermaster's Department.
u. S. A., for the American Army over
seas.
Louis F. Swift, in commenting on
this today, said the order will take
the bacon from approximately 1900
600 hogs, and If other work were
dropped to produce it, would be equiv
alent to the total bacon production OF
the five largest Chicago packers for
nearly five weeks. However, six months
will elapse before delivery is to be COM
pleted. Mr.. Swift said:
'At the current prices on the. day,
last week, when the purchase was
made, the packers would pay the live
stock producers about $80,0OO,OOO for
the necessary hogs and over $50,0O0,0OO
for about 100000 cattle required. The
cattle will cost us twice as much, and
the hogs two and One-half times as
much as in the pre-war period.
The whole order will be made up be-
fore the first of the year, despite the
fact that, even before this purchase,
one-fourth of the packers facilities
have been devoted to filling military
demands. In order to get out the
canned goods the packers will find it
necessary to employ night and day
shifts of Gamers. Notwithstanding
the fact that the products are being
rushed forward thus hurriedly, not a
single complaint has been received on
meats delivered to the armies abroad
The five packers are now killing
about 100000 hogs weekly. to keep
abreast of martial and domestic needs"

Do You Know How To
Tell Black Walnut
From Any Other Tree?

The New Jersey Department of
Conservation and Development has
organized within the State a search
for black walnut trees needed by the
Government for the manufacture of
gunstocks and oairplane propellers.
Boy Scouts are already at work
searching for and reporting upon
walnut trees, and everybody is asked
| to help in this matter.
Those knowing of black walnut
trees are asked to report to the
State Forester, Trenton, the name
and address of the owner and the
size of each tree. Reports should be
complete, covering all the. points men,
toned above. The Government is
not buying the walnut direct, but
is locating it for firms manufacture
ing war products. Logs are desired
rather than sawn lumber, and should
be shipped in carload lots direct to
the manufacturer.
Lists of firms holding Government
contracts and further information
will be sent upon request to the
