Hot, heavy foods and iced drinks
often play havoc with bad stomachs
in hot weather. The weak ones haven't
got chance. A quickly chilled or
overworked stomach is starter Of
untold misery for its owner.
When you have that dull. depressed
feeling after eating-stOmach pains,
bowel disorders, heartburn or nausea.

be quick about 1t In this hot weather.
A way has been discovered to make
sick stomnchs well and to keep them

way. No starvation plan of diet is

Italian Inyents Canned Lightning
Capable Of Destroying
Trenches of Enemy.
TERRIBLE ENGINE OF DEATH
Claimed Invention Could End War In
Thirty Days and Allies Could March
Unchaiienged Into Berlin.
Tests Prove Its Value.

Rome.-The kaiser's dream Of vic
tory and world supremacy may be
blasted out by canned lightning" a
terrible death engine Invented by an
Italian scientist. Dazzling swords of
fire, more deadly than are highest ex-
plosives, followed by annihilating ex-
plosions. are capable Of destroying en-
emy trenches with one binding finsh.
according to his clnlma. Mine sweep
ers equipped with this device could
fire mines thousands Of yards distant.
On the land, canned lightning" could
be used to form a most successful bar
raxe and could wipe out the defenders
of German trenches with unerring GER
tninty.
The scientist Is credited with hav-
Ing discovered means of concentrnt-
Ing and rejecting electric rays in such
manner as to produce the results de-
scribed. 1t is reported that this In
ventor has proved to representatives
of his government that electric cur
rent can be concentrated and directed
In rays.
Tests Held On Banks Of rlber.
In describing the results OF THESE
tests, held on the banks OF the
historic Tlber, r. II. Randall, writing
in the Illustrated World, says that the
scientist was asked to burn through
n three-inch plank Of hardwood. In
an instant. the writer says. the plank
was seared and broken as II 1t had
been broken by lightning.
O6icia1s then asked the scientist to
explode two bombs, one hidden along
the bank OF the river and the other In
the bed Of the stream. Within ten
minutes the bomb along the bank ex-
plOded. 1t required a much longer
time to explode the other bomb. bnt
this, too. wns finally accomplished.
The entire outfit used by the inventor
was placed on a single small barge.
An approximate idea Of the power
Of the arcing electricity may he OBJ
tained by watching an electric furnnce
at work. 1t will cut the hardest steel
like putty. To flush such n flame
through an aerOplane, submarine, bnt-
tleship or a trench would leave to-
tai wreck. Mines placed In the North
sea by the Germans could be elm
mated, and mine sweepers could de-
strOy all Of these hidden terrors of the

So TO $5 IS
WAGE FOR HARVEST
Eastern Oregon Farmers
Fix Scale; Think Help to
Be Sufficient.

Nearly 40 county agents and repre-
Isentatives from eight Oregon and two
Washington counties held an all day
session here yesterday to establish 4
wage scale for harvest and to talk over
the labor situation. The consensus
of opinion was that there will be
plenty of help to get the harvest over
lin good shape. In practically every
town from which the men came. they
declared that the merchants had
agreed to turn over every possible
helper, even offering to close their
places of business for a time and help
in the fields themselves. Also an anti
loafing law has been passed in nearly
every section represented, which is
expected to add materially to avail
able helpers.
The rates fixed for harvest are rs
follows. the wage including board in
every case: for having .and common
hands for harvest, SO per day: stack.
ers and header leaders, 81 per day;
header drivers and combine rivers. s5
per day: sack sewers So per day;
cooks (based on cooking for crew
of 10 mem SO per day for men or
women.
An interesting fact brought out by
thee session is that practically every
farmer with whom any of the agents
has talked is running his farm with
less help than ever before. and that he
seems to be running it just as well.
