HAD SEEN THEM TAT WORK"
Tommy Had Little Need to Puzzle His Bra.ns Over Question Propounded
 by Teacher.

Here is little story that was told at I social session by Representative Hubert D. Stephens of Mississippi, as an illustration that the best industrial results cannot always be obtained through team work
 Some time since, the teacher of n public school in country town was instructing a juvenile class in mathe- matics when she turned to q small boy named Tommy.
 Tommy said she, If your father can d0 piece of work in six days and your uncle Jim can do it in seven days, how long would it take them to do it togethert"
 About ten thousand years was the rather startling rejoinder of Tommy.
 Ten thousand years, exclaimed the teacher. Why, Tommy, what do you meun?'
 T mean was the prompt response ot Tommy, that if you put them to work together they would sit on the fence, smoke and swap fish stories. - Philadelphia Evening Telegraph.

Keep a closewatch on yourstom- ach this summer. We need all our fighting strength. War work change of diet-will make us all easier prey to stomach and bowel trouble than ever before. It is so easy to become overloaded on a blazing hot day, especially after eating a hearty meal. And then the excessive heat makes us flood our stomachs with all kinds of cold drinks. That's bad at any time; much worse-even danger ous-when there Is the slightest feeling of stomach trouble.
 Keep the stomach sweet and cool and free from too much acid that's about all that is neces- sary. It's not so much the diet as to keep the poison from start ing trouble. You can easily do this if you will just take a tablet or two of EATONIC after your meals.

The west cross-cut from the fifth
level of the White Caps mine be-
ing extended to develop the west
orebody has now reached a distance
of 465 feet from the shaft. Since
entering the limestone belt which
contains the west orebody, a dis
lance of about 40 feet has been
made and although the change in
the formation, the limestone having
flattened out considerably in the
last 100 feet, will probably throw
the orebody a greater distance than
was anticipated. Still at this time the
limestone shows to be broken up and
carries stains from the ore zone
carrying values, so that the ore zone
cannot be many feet farther ahead
of the lateral work.
Raise 504 from the fifth level has
now reached a distance of 1913 feet
above the level, still in good grade
of ore. Ore for the mill is being
taken from slopes Nos. sol, 302, 300
and from 504 raise. No ore is be-
ing taken from SOC sill floor,
as timbering of the sill is still in
progress.
The ore has not yet been cut out
for its full width as yet at this point,
as it is considered best to carry the
timbering along close up to the face
of the work SO as to obviate any
danger from the ground sloughing.
At the point where the sill is going
in the ore apparently makes clear
across the entire width of the lime
stone belt, having replaced one por-
ton of the limestone completely.
The main stope from the third
level, 302 stope, is demonstrating
that the orebody is widening out and
the grade of ore improving as
height is gained by the stope. The
top of the stope is now above the
second level of the mine and appar-
emily a branch of the orebody Is
making to the east a greater dis
lance than any ore has so far been
developed in the mine workings.
The flow of water from the west
workings of the fifth level has now
almost ceaesd and from the fourth
level this new influx of water has
completely drained the west and
shaft orebodies from the fourth lev
ell, which in itself demonstrates that
the ore zone from the fifth level is
near at hand.
In the mill one more betterment is
to be noted for this week. The
screw feed from the bottom of the
Wedge rooster to the classifier has
been discarded in favor of a chain
driven steel drag conveyor which is
now in operation and shows a much
