Siberia Has Vast Resources.

The common notion of Siberia Is
based on latitude and climate. Be-
cause part Of it is in the arctic circle
the whole vast region has been as
sumed to be almost beyond the pale of
civilized occupancy. Notwithstanding
that much has been written describing
Siberia as it u.s. the common notion is
still that it is fit only for penal settle
ments and that the nihilists and other
political exiles were sent to these set
Elements as q living death. This Is not
far from the truth. But the inhospit.
able regions in which the penal settle.
ments were placed are far from being
all Siberia, and even sope of these dis.
tricts are capable of sustaining the
vigorous inhabitants of northern eli.
mates.
Siberia, in the economic sense, has
all the resources which 60 to make
vast stretch Of territory self-sustaining
as an Independent nation. It has for
ests, mines and great agricultural re.
gions where every product Of the TEN.
perate climate is capable Of cultiva.
ton. The timber is in the north and
west. The mines are in widely scat
tered districts.

What miserable feelings nre caused
by an upset stomach! That dull,
heavy, "hloated" sensation that follows

Yes; II. L. Kramer, the man who

quick, relief for indigestion, dyspepsia,
''sour stomach" heartburn, formation
of painful gases, "bloating," etc, etc.
He calls his stomach relief EA-
TONIC, and 1t certainly Is making q
wonderful record. Countless thous.

preached their meals with dread, now

In these days of undersea warfare,

warning, a new danger is added to the
already hazardous tasks of the ships
firemen. Speed is an essential In
beating the U-boat, and this requires
constant work. Recently the bottom
blow valve Of a boiler was carried away
on n vessel of the United States navy
One of the crew was Aloysius Fawcett,
Il fireman, first class. With two Others
he made his way through a steam-filled
flreroom and fought a passage through
a hot cloud in the engine room. Here
he helped haul the fires at a critical
moment. The nerve and quickness OF

sci from serious accident. Fawcett en-

MIGHT BE PUT TO GOOD USE
Propagation Of Bladderwort Suggested
as a Means Of Diminishing Plague
Of Mosquitoes.

Not long ago, says the Milwaukee
Journal, Prof. W. Il. Ringle, Il natural
list of Pittsburg, Kan, discovered In
n Kansas creek a bladderwort, II plant
that Is usually found In more northern
streams. He took 1t to his laboratory
and placed it in Il Jar that contained
several small tadpoles, In order to
aerate the water and do away with
the necessity OF changing it SO often,
The tadpoles quickly began to disap-
pear in a mysterious name An In
vestigation resulted In the surprising
discovery that the small balloons on
the plant were traps and tombs for
the tadpoles. The plant had devoured
them. If 1t would consume tndpoles,
there is no reason why it should not
devour "wiggle-talls," the larvae of the
mosquito, the naturalist thinks. One
way of Kidding n community of mosqui.
toes, therefore, appears to be to propa.
gate the bladderwort in pools and
streams.
