SOCIETY
By CAROL s. DIBBLE
I + x 4 4 4 x 4 4 4 = 4 4 ,


Though such a steady stream OF
wedding announcements has passed
through society channels the past six
months, that it would seem next to
impossible, for the most unlocked for
news to cause even a tremOr of ex-
citement, yet nevertheless, society can
never, quite, prove immune to the lat
est surprise, that Dan Cupid has up
his wing for us, in these days of rapid
transit events.
The announcement of the week,
flashed into local circles is the mar
riage of Miss Marguerite Miles, the
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. b. j. Miles
of Salem, to William A. knight of
Portland. The wedding took place in
Des Moines, Iowa, at the home of the
brides aunt, Mrs. Elizabeth Jordan
Cooke. Mrs Knight, who is an excep-
tionally clever girl, has host of
friends in Salem, where she has resid-
ed until year ago, when she went
east to take up kindergarten, settle
ment work in Des Moines.
The bridegroom who is well known
business man Of Portland, belongs to
a prominent Portland family being
brother Of Warren M. Knight and
partner with him in the Knight Shoe
company. The bridal couple left imme-
diately on an extended wedding trip,
going directly to New Orleans. After
a short stay in the southern city, Mr..
and Mrs. Knight will visit in San An
tonic, and I'll Paso, Texas, going from
there to Los Angeles, where they will

Another carrier viii soon be installed
to do away with this and to deliver the

In the packing room though is the
machinery that attracts. This too has
an endless carrier into which the car

capacity, are placed by hand. They
are carried under a machine, regu-
lar double barrelled loader, where the
carton sort of hesitatesgw half an

under another spout where it shutters
again for a second while additional
product is dropped into it automatic

place to another. 1t then is carried
under machine which opens the flaps
of the carton, turns them down on
their sides, passes them under a little
contrivance that pastes them down
and delivers the carton almost air
tight, sealed, weighed, and labeled and
ready for the market. This machine
does its work at the rate of 28 min
ute, 1850 an I3ur, 4O,32O a day. As
these cartons contain the makings of
soup enough for ten persons it will be
seen that this one Salem plant is pro-
viding a plate of soup every "A hours

the company is filling big order for
these soup cartons, and there are Or
ders enough ahead to keep the plant
running night and day indefinitely.
The company is letting contracts for
more vegetables daily and will be
ready to enlarge its plant whenever it
has assurance of supply of vegeta-
bles sufficient to justify it.
1t is already one of Salem's biggest
institutions and gives promise of be-
fore long taking the lead in magni-
tude and Importance of anything in

New Plant Busiest Place In
Salem, Employing Large
Force Of Workers

The Kings Products company 5 big
plant is one of the busiest places in
the city. 1t is working to capacity
three shifts a day and seven days a
week. Great piles of vegetables ac-
cumulate during the day only to have
the water removed from them and to
disappear in the big bins before an
other day pushes it off the calendar.
Some Salem folks still look upon
this plant as an experiment, but their
minds would soon get rid of this idea
cnce they visited it and saw its work
ings, A Capital Journal representative
paid it short visit yesterday after
noon, not his first by any means and
noted many improvements. When the
plant first started all work was done
by hand and there were trucks every
where and much handling and re-
handling of the products before they
disappeared in the big iron tanks
where things are done to them that
take the water out of them much
more thoroughly than supreme court
decision does out of a railroad flota-
tion.
Now it is different. New labor saw
ing devices are being introduced as
rapidly as possible, some of them be-
ing the manufacture of the company s
officials. For instance where at the
pairing table at first all the handling
of the vegetables was done by hand
a long endless carrier takes the vege-
tables, those today being carrots,
down slowly between two rows of wo-
men seated on either side of it. The
center of the carrier is raised higher
than the sides and into this center is
dropped the pared vegetables. The
workers have the carrier cleaned by
the time it reaches the end of it's
frame and there it dumps the prepared

Chronic Indigestion
May Cause Cancer
How to Relieve and Prevent

Chronic Indigestion, dyspepsia Of
gastritis on account of the constant
irritation is very likely to lead tt
stomach ulcers; which according to 9
leading authority may ultimately lead
to cancer itself. 1t is therefore evident
that indigestion far from being a sim
pie or trivial ailment is something
which should be treated with great
seriousness-that everv effort should
be made to prevent the development
of those ulcers which so often lead to
such serious consequences. The surest
way to do this, is to neutralize excess
acid and stop food fermentation--two
things that keep the stomach constant
ly in a painfully inflamed and dis
tended eondition-and for this purpose
there is nothing quite so positive and
instant in its action as a teaspoonful
of Bi-nesia taken in half glass of
hot water Immediately after eating or
whenever pain is felt. Bi-nesia which
is also obtainable of druggists in the
form of grain tablets-two of which
are equal to spoonful Of the powder
instantly neutralize the acid, stops the
fermentation and forms protective
coating over the inflamed stomach lin
ing thus promoting painless normala
digestion and giving nature a chance
to repair the damage done. These rea-
sons together with the fact that BIZ
nesia almost invariably relieves the
most intense dyspeptic pains in two or
three minutes explains why it is now
so widely used by physicians and in
hospitals instead Of dangerous pain
deadening drugs.

"Thais" Tells Story
Of Passionate Love

The one and only Mary Garden il
the star of "Thais," the new photo
play from the famous novel by Anaa
tole France, which is to be seen at the
Liberty theater beginning Friday II
is Miss Gardens first photoplay.
J "Thais' tells the story of beauty
of ancient Alexandria who is noto-
rious for her many love affairs A
wealthy young man named Paphnutius
is attracted by That's, but leaving her
home one evening, is set upon by a
jealous rival whom he slays in self
defence. Having lately become a con-
vert to Christianity from his pagan
belief, he knows that murder is a
crime against Heaven, and in his
great remorse he becomes a monk and
goes far out on the desert to live in
'eypiation Of his sin.
While he becomes known through
out the world for his sanetiE, That's
becomes the very queen of riotous hv-
ing. Then Paphnutius conceives the
idea that it. would give the cause of
Christianity great impetus if he
could convert That's, so he goes to her
home dressed in the rich garments of
a friend over his coarse monk s robe,
and notifies her of his intention. At
first she is amused, and then fright
ened as he follows her everywhere.
And at last she yields to him, gives
away or destroys all her worldly pos
sessions, and follows him off into the
desert where she becomes a nun.
Flushed with his victory over sin,
Paphnutius returns to his holy broth
ers. But despite his high resolves, he
has fallen madly in love with That's.
The conclusion of the story is thrill
ing in the extreme, and affords Miss
Garden one of the best acting oppor-
aF ba1.
