OF the innumerable glands with
which the mucous membrane lining
the stomach is provided, n set
secretes mucus and another pepsin.
Water and mineral substances in
solution are squeezed out OF he
b~lood-yessels in the upper part of the
mucous membrane, and the proper
chemical action between them pro-
duces hydrochloric acid.
This acid combines with pepsin
and mucus to form the gastric juice
which digests the albuminoids or
proteids received into the stomach
and which include meat, fish, milk,
eggs. etc.
This gastric juice is made or
Cecreted principally from n to
three hours after a meal.
Ii there is more hydrochloric acid

First Motorized Artillery
Thrills Camp Custer Chiefs
Col. H. E. Cloke Uses Famous Hot-Spot
In HorSeless Battery.
BY Christv Walsh.

Camp Custer, Mich, April SIDE,
layed(.-All dressed up in regulation
~eamouflage, and capable of going into
position while under fire, the first
motor hauled battery of field ar
tillery in America and perhaps
the world, ehugged itself past General
Kennedy and staff ON the parade
grounds here this week. The event
was the first Brigade Review in hon
or of General Kennedy, new command
ant at Camp Caster.
The first ear in line was a famous
Hot Spot Chalmers equipped with
wireless standards and other ~reconnai-
ssanee attachments. The other cars,
including tractors and trucks, were
covered with heavy roofing paper in
such q cunning as to perfectly
simulate the armOred fighting ear.
~Improvised p~eriscope and ugly rifle
muzzles prodded their way through the
open t~urrets, and the general impress
sion as observed by the alleged cores
pondent was one of genuine terror.
But terror was not the only sugges-
ton for the sight was a tribute to the
great American Automobile industry,
and indeed a noted accomplishment for
the farsighted and progressive energy
of Col II. E. Cloke commanding the
33Oth Field Artillery, and Acting Com
mander of the Tooth Brigade.
Although the experiment has been in
progress for nearly ninety days, the
Brigade Review was the first official
appearance of a model motorized bat
terry completely armored and capable
of moving forward in trench warfare
as do the famous British tanks. So
practical have been the results and so
startling the Possibilities that it is gen
orally conceded this pioneer unit may
be a definite step toward permanently
sweeping the stalemate trench-system
into a swift moving conflict of auto
motive artillery.
Notwithstanding it is generally ad-
that it costs TIE United States
government more to support one horse,
than it does TO sustain a fighting man;
and despite the miracles already per
formed by motor ears in battle, three
quarters of our Army Officers are still
skeptical and inclined to place little
confidence in the motOr-hauled battery
and especially Of one of such type pro
posed.

United States Tires
Use Patriotic Copy

The first of the large national ad
vertisers to take up the duplex plan OF
} advertising advocated by the Liberty
Loan committee in connection with
the Third Liberty Loan is the United
states Tire company whose copy for
April will be a combination of Liberty
Loan and tire-seliing appeal.
Under the duplex plan, the adver-
tiser is asked to prepare and furnish
his own copy, and in it to advertise
both the loan and his own product. In
previous lean campaigns the advertis-
er was asked to donate space or funds
with which to buy space in which Lib
lerty Loan copy emanating from Loan
advertising headquarters was to appear
But the duplex plan was believed BY
the committee to offer an excellent OPP
pcrtunity to demonstrate by means of
.inking mp Lhe business advertising
with the Loan advertising that the one
big business today is the wan and its
successful prosecution.
For some time the United States
Tire company has been injecting the
" war idea'' into its copy and such
war problems as the transportation sit
nation have been persistently featur-
ed. The eompany's copy for April will
lay stress on the Liberty Loan and win
at the same time talk United States

What We propose to show in our
Liberty Loan advertising, said j.
n. Gum, president of the United Sta
ties Tire company, in discussion Of the
plan, is that as far as our company
is concerned we are for the success of
the war, first and for the success OF
our business second. We intend to
make it clear in this series of adver-

Bureau Has No Land FOR Sale.
The Colonization & Industrial Bu-
reau has no land 10 sell, and it's only
interest in the sale Of land By those
who have It, is the building up OF
the territory which it serves. In
other words, its interest is the bring
ing together OF the land and those
who would make new homes y O the
land. For that reason expert agents
of this Bureau investigate thoroughly
all land that Is offered for sale and
all land agents. These experts satisfy
themselves that the land is suitable
for farming, that the climatic condl-
lions are right and that the price al
which IL is offered is reasonable: next
they satisfy themselves TINT the land
agent is honest ana reliable. There Is
no need to fool men In order to GET
them TO settle in the West-the truth
is strong enough.
Ads Carried in Eastern Papers.
