Hot summer days upset the
strong stomachs as well as weak
ones.
Your vital forces reach their
lowest level when the weather is
the hottest. Then the danger is
the greatest.
You can't guard your stomach
and bowels too carefully through
the long, hot season. Don't take
any chance. Indigestion, sour
stomach, that wretched, bloated
feeling, belching, food repeating,
pains that claw at stomach and
bowels and an endless train OF
stomach ills that make life mis-
erable are greatly aggravated IN
the hot weather.
This year of all others-it is
vital that we keep our strength
and full power at work. The ex-
ira war work, change of diet-all
must be looked after because they
hit us in the stomach. And now

Army Makes Record Meat Purchase.

Chicago.-The largest single order
for bacon and canned meats in the
history of the world-99, $50, 600
pounds of bacon and 184,00o,000 pounds
of canned meat-has just been placed
by the Quartermaster's Department,
U. S. A, for the American Army over
seas.
Louis F. 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 was
made, the packers would pay the live
stock producers about $S0,000,000 for
the necessary hogs and over $50,00O,000
for about 100000 cattle required. The
cattle win 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-
fore 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 II
necessary to employ night and day
shifts Of Gamers. Notwithstanding
