WAR SAVINGS STAMPS CAMPAIGN

The war savings stamps campaign workers dlspalr OF
raising their quota in Salem Many other interior towns
of the coast are meeting with similar Encouragement
While it is true that there may be proGemans and
some tght-wads who do their share in any public
cause in this community and in every other community
we believe that most Of the people responding to the
best of their ability The drives for the third liberty
loan Red Cross and savings stamps succeeded each
other in quick succession. And all the time thousands of
dollars worth of thrift stamps were being sold by the
school children. Such towns as Salem have IN
come it is all outgo and many people who paying
their various subscriptions in nsalmens feel that they
have all the payments coming along they will be able to
meet with the incomes they possess That the hardest
deal the campagners up against now. They lind not
so much unwingness but inability to subscribe and make
good when pay day This situation in all interior
points of western Oregon calls for due consideration on
part of the state managers when future drives and future
quotas are considered.
We would like to see Salem raise its full quoa--every
good patriotic citizen will be disappointed If failure
marks the campaign. Every real American is working
hard for success because the war savings idea spen
did one 1t helps provide money for the war and at the
same time nculcates the principle OF saving IN time OF
prosperity This was the plan worked out by Secretary
McAdoo and his assistants all the way through in nan
cling the People are working for higher wages and
selling everything they produce higher than ever before
Money is plentiful and changing hands rapdlybut some
time the war will end and an Of readjustment lower
wages and lower prices will come. The plan OF selling
liberty bonds in small denominations and thrift and war
savings stamps to induce the people of all classes to
lay up Of the money they were making against the
inevitable reaction that is bound to ensue. 1t was
scheme for preparing for peace in the midst of warand
it has proven splendid success The government rails
ing the money promptly with which to carry the war;
and the people saving in bonds and stamps many times
more than they ever did before.
We hope Salem will raise its quota because the more
stamps people buy the better they will be prepared for
future developments whatever they may be- and because
the needs the money and far people
have the power to do they ought to subscribe it
willingly

GERMAN BAKERIES.

Gates, Or, June 81, 1918.
To the Daily Capital Journal:
A few days ago returning from Port

the window just a short distance north
of the Salem depot 1 saw a conspie-
uous sign "Germany Bakery" on the
whole front Of building. I thought to

One more grievance: The German
bakeries are allowed go per cent wheat
flour and the good mothers at home
get none. We pay IL cents for a five
cent loaf of bread and are asked to
save and buy w. s. S. The bakeries
don t have to save but take long pro-

/ have been asked to write an
article on gastroptosis, or falling
OF the stomach-what it means,
and what are some Of its symp-
toms
The stomach is very movable,
being in the upper part of the alb
dominal cavity, extending from
right to left and held in place by
the food tube or gullet, and by
loose bands or ligaments attached
to the diaphragm, to the liver on
the right, and the spleen on the
left.
Though so loosely held, it is in
motion most Of the time, particu-
larly when food is churned about
in it, and undergoing digestion.
The tissues Of the stomach and
its ligaments stretch easily and,
lacking the resiliency Of an elastic
tissue, they do not return to their
normal boundaries after a certain
number of stretehings.
The stomach of full grown
adult holds one to three pints, and
you can imagine how much it is
distended and overtaxed by those
who eat and drink to excess.
1t is not unusual for guzzlers of
beer, wine, whiskey, gin, etc., to
drink several quarts at sitting,
and for those who are Incorporate
in eating. to eat far more than the
proper capacity of the stomach.
The kidneys and intestines do
their best to relieve such sinners,
but all these organs are sooner OF
later involved in the penalties of
over-eating and drinking.
Continued abuse of the stomach
must ultimately result in persist
ent dilatation, the organ loses its
natural shape, constant fermenta-
tion and gas formation balloon It
into a great bag, and 1t en-
croaches upon neighboring organs
and causes unlimited discomfort.
From dilatation. to relaxation of
the loose supporting bands of the
stomach, is but a step.
When the bands begin to give
way, there is nothing to bring
them back to their normal state.
The more they are pulled. the
more they stretch, and the less
able they become to sustain the
over-distended and overweighted
stomach.
Then the latter drops. some

Falling Of The Stomach.
By ANDREW F. CuRRIER, MD.

bow or stern first, the intestines
car offer little resistance, and in
time the stomach distends and
drops until it reaches the pelvis.
Others who suffer with falling
of the stomach are the people of
lax fiber, who have little muscu-
lar strength to begin with, and
who have been overpowered by
hard work or improper food.
Included in this group, are hard
working women burdened with the
care Of families among the poor
and neglected.
Only recently has this condition
been accurately recognized, only
recently have the stomach and its
disorders formed a group of d.
seases for careful investigation.
The X-ray, and abdominal sur.
cry, have illuminated the subject,
and though we are far from get
ting ideal results in the treatment
Of many stomach diseases, we have
certainly made great gains and.
will gain much more.
Some of the symptoms Of falling
of the stomach are general discom-
fort, want of ambition for ordinary
duties, constipation and poor nutri-
ti0n.
The treatment may be medical,
surgical, or instrumental.
If the abdomen is opened, a re-
paratiye operation can sometimes
be successfully done.
Many cases, however, are much
relieved by properly adjusted
belt. and this should be tried I'M
preference to an operation, when
possible.

Army Makes Record Meat Purchase.

Army a RECORD meat POrchaSe.
Chicago.--The largest single order
for bacon and canned meats in the
history of the world-09, $50, 600
pounds of bacon and 134.OOO,OO0 pounds
of canned meat-has just been placed
by the Quarterlnaster's Department,
q. S. A., for the American Army over
seas.
Louis r. Swift, in commenting on
this today, said the order will take
the bacon from approximately 1,900,-
900 hogs, and if other work were
dropped to produce 1t, 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 vas
stock producers about $SO,OOO,O0O for
the necessary hogs and ove $5O,0OO.O0O
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-
tore 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 Il
necessary to employ night and day
shifts of Gamers. Notwithstanding
the fact that the products are bein,
rushed forward thus hurriedly. not (,
