SPOKANE, WASH, May /. =
From the silent reaches Of the far
north to the tunnels under Mes
sines ridge is the route yer which
a chance greeting from a fellow
trapper sent Leon Huston, an
American citizen who has just re-
turned from oversees, where he
served with the 2Sth Canadian en-
gineers. Huston, whose home
formerly was in Livingston, Mont,
recently visited his mother here.
While hunting, trapping and
prospecting with a companion 800
miles north of the Pas, the farth-
est north railroad station in west
ern Canada, he met a trapper just
returned from "the outside"
This man told Huston that Eng
land, France and Russia had gone
to war against Germany.
eff there's a war on we'd bet
ter co." he told his companion, and
together they travelled 10 days by
canoe to the Pas. Arrived there.
they discovered that no men were
being recruited at that town, but
we're told they might join the army
at Saskatoon. Here Huston Joined
the 2Sth engineers, then being or
ganized.
After fighting in Flanders for
some months, Huston was assigned
Ito the sappers engaged in tunnel
Wig under Messines ridge, prepare
tory to placing the hundreds OF
tons OF explosives that obliterated
that barrier to the allies advance.
He was a face man." which
means he was working in the ex-
treme inside end of the tunnel, re-
moving the clay from the face OF
the bore. Here, in an excavation
four feet high and two feet six
inches wide, Huston worked six
hour shifts.
IT worked in six of the tunnels
dug under Messines ridge" he
said. THE tunnels were run in
for a distance Of 1900 feet and
were 100 feet beneath the surface.
1t was 80 hot in this hole a man
could veal no clothes except over
alls, and then he was wet with
perspiration during his entire six
hour shift. We we're off shift six
hours and on again for an equal
time, making IL hours Of the "a
digging the dark blue clay.
1.-THE tunnels we're all electric
lighted and a small air supply was
pumped in through a hose. The
man working at the face of the
tunnel would dig the clay away
with a small shovel and pass it to
the man behind him, who would
give it to another man, who placed
it in sacks. Eight of these were
loaded on a small car and taken
to the mouth of the tunnel. Three
feet in six hours was considered
good digging.
"The Germans we're ~tunneling
from the opposite direction, and
we had men detailed to listen for
the sound of their shovels. Ere
quently branch tunnels would be
III off the main digings and
large timbers rugged up like bat
tering rams and pounded against
the wall to mislead the Germans.
This ruse was not always success
full, however. At one time we
had 100 feet of tunnel blown w
by them. Then it was simply a
question OF doing it all over
again"

TO ASSISTANT scoUTMAsTERs

Chief Scout Executive James e.
West sends this word to the almost
$4,000 assistant scoutmasters of boy
scout troops:
Your rank and opportunity Is one
to excite envy. Your job is what you
make it and your troop is largely up
to you. The chance for the boy scout
movement to be serving a million boy
members by next birthday rests with
you. If anyone else brings about the
million, that someone will have
stepped in and picked up your op-
portunity.
graphical error, putting in the word
assistant? Then consider the lieu
tenant in the great war.
1--WE think of you as the man with
youth and physical vitality enough to
carry on and carry through to success
the plans of your chief.
ITO us you are the man, the only
man, who can say, Boys, Mr.. Scout
master would be greatly pleased if we
rolled our packs and put our camp
site in perfect order right after din
ner-he would enjoy our afternoon
tests and games and swim, himself,
if he didn't have that cloud hanging
over him, of asking you to police this
spot at p. m. We owe him good
time That-a-boy. You'll be done in
ten minutes at the rate you're doing
1t.
"You are between the boy and the
ultimate authority; and your word of
encouragement and your sympathy
when scouts are in wrong can be one
of the truly great factors in the

SCOUTS FURNISH GOOD BLOOD.

For some time Boy Scouts Alex Ho-
gan, Douglas Peck, Frank Hampshire,
Arthur Bohn and Frank Smith. men,
bers of the boy scout organization in
Salt Lake City, have been going to
the hospital twice week to give
their blood to rejuvenate an injured
man.
In an effort to save the life of
Frank Adkin, who was taken to the
hospital after receiving serious In
juries when a piano fell on him dur
ing a fire, the Salt Lake City boy
scouts council was asked to furnish
boys to have their blood transfused
into the veins of the injured man.
DIR. Clarence Snow of the hospital,
in an effort to obtain non-smokers and
non-alcohol users for this purpose,
turned to the scouts for cooperation
Although Mr.. Adkin is in serious con-
dition, he has been improving rap
idly and is expected to fully recover.
The blood was furnished at the rate
of a pint every other day for several
days.

Love beareth all things, believeth
all things, endureth all things. Peo-
pie we love sometimes disappoint us.
They do things we never dreamed they

'CURES" Of COSTLY
PRICES WORTHLESS
Senator Reed Asserts Major
ity of Remedies Suggested
Are No Good.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 15.-High cost
OF Living Is the result of operation Of
fundamental and immutable laws and
lower living costs will come to q large
degree only from operation Of these
natural laws, Senator Reed, Democrat,
OF Missouri, declared in an address, IN
the senate today. - E
Many of the remedies being proposed
to reduce living costs, Senator Reed as
serted, are futile because they are ar
tifioial and designed to disturb opera
ton OF natural economic tendencies
Increase In production, the Missouri
senator declared, would be the greatest
factor toward reducing prices.
There are two great principles in
economics and finance which can not
be ~disregarded and which no amount Of
legislation can effectively control
said Mr.. Reed, First, whenever the
demand for any great necessity mate
rally exceeds the supply, an increase in
price Is inevitable. Conversely, when
the supply exceeds the demand q de-
crease In price follows. The latter
condition may be temporarily effected
by combinations artificially withhold
ing the supply and controlling the mar
ket. But no combination of men and
no DEGREES of government have ever
been able to transmute a deficiency
into plenty or to remove the natural
lOnBllES IOf q necessary article WHICH
can not be obtained,
Second, a radical increase in the
number Of dollars In circulation re-
suits in a decrease in the purchasing
power Of the dollar.
ANY device, plan or scheme, there
fore, which will have a tendency to
lessen production to discourage enter
prise or to arrest industry, will, instead
Of bringing lower prices, increase pres
ent excessive prices by under-produc-
ton
The war, Senator Reed said, stopped
production throughout the world to a
large extent for articles needed In its
prosecution, With the end of the war
the natural result is increased demand
before production can be brought up to
normal.
IAN this is elementary and obvious,
but in u crisis like hat which now
confronts us, even the wisdom of states
men Is likely to overlook the obvious
Mr.. Reed observed. The raise in
prices In the United States has been
made to all Of the people in the United
States, all of them being consumers,
Likewise, the benefits Of high prices
have been in part distributed to nearly
all Of the people Of the United States
for nearly all of them are producers

GAS IN THE STOMACH IS
DANGEROUS
An Indication of Serious
Stomach Disturbances.
How to Overcome.

Gas and wind in the stomach accom-
panied by hat full, bloated feeling aft
er eating are almost certain evidence
Of the presence Of excessive hydro
chloric acid in the stomach, creating So
called 'acid indigestion"
Acid stomachs are dangerous because
too much acid irrltates the delicate In
ing of the stomach, often leading to
gastritis accompanied by serious stom-
ach ulcers. Food ferments and sours,
creating the distressing gas which dis
tends the stomach and hampers the
normal functions OF the vital internal
organs. often affecting the heart,
1t Is the worst Of folly to neglect such
a serious condition or to treat with or
binary digestive aids, which have no
neutralizing effect on the stomach acids,
Instead, get n small package of Bis-Mag
Tablets from n druggist and take two
tablets In II quarter glass of water right
after eating, This will drive the gas, wind
and bloat right out of the body, sweet
en- the stomach, neutralize the excess
acid and prevent its formation and
there is no soreness or pain.
Bis-Mag Tablets are a safe, harm
less and inexpensive compound of Bis
muth and Magnesla, and are used by
thousands of people who enjoy their
meals with nc more fear of Indigestion,
