TO USE WHALE MILK
Possible Solution Seen of Problem
in Oregon.
Veterinary Says Milk Whale Can Be
Domesticated and Pacific Ocean
Would Be Farm.

Salem, Ore.-Whale milk may some
day settle the question of milk supply
for Oregon, according to State Veter-
marian Lyle. who Is entirely serious
in the matter.
"The milk shortage" said Mr.. Lyle,
'may be swatted some day by domes-
ticating the whale. With the whole
Pacific ocean as a farm the domesti-
Gated whale would put the Oregon
dairy business OH a mammoth scale.
Whales are mammals, each of which
furnishes about a barrel of milk at a
milking, and while at present they are
a little too shy to be exactly classed
as easy mixers. some day they will
be domesticated."
Doctor Lyle suggests placing a
sheep or two on every lawn in Oregon
as a more Immediate means of curing
the milk and wool shortage.
"a good sheep of long or medium
wool will give as much milk as a $75
mich goat, and it is the finest obtain
able for infants. In addition, from
SO to So worth of wool can be OBJ
tanned. If the lamb is raised, $40 can
be obtained for II at three months, but,
of course. If the milk is wanted the
lamb must be sacrificed"

ALLIED SUBS PERILED
Were Constantly Harried by Their
Own Warships.
British Submarine Nearly Destroyed
by American Vessels While
Being Tested.

London..One of the greatest perils
to allied submarines during the wal
was attack by friendly destroyers. A
submarine was assumed to be an ene-
my when sighted by the ships of any
allied nation and 1t was up to the sub
marine to show recognition signals Ii
she was not German.
But II 1t IA a destroyer that sight
ed the submarine she was always max
ing for the little craft by the time the
recognition signals could be shown. A
slight hitch In getting up a flag or fir
ing a rocket would mean the subma-
rine would be forced to seek safety
beneath the surface.
Probably the last attack of this sort
vas made by American destroyers on
a new British submarine of a large
type. She was being tested when
sighted by the destroyers and they
made for her full speed. Something
happened to the signal system, and
the underwater vessel submerged as
depth charges began to tear up the
water. One charge shook her until
the crew thought she was doomed.
The submarine was constructed to
live 800 feet, but that was forgotten
as charge after charge exploded near
)y. Finally she struck bottom at 800
feet and 1t was found she was not
badly damaged. She was kept on the
bottom until her commander was cer-
tain the destroyers had gone. Then
she was cautiously brought to the sur
face.
"She don't need any more testing
after that experience" the comman-
der reported to the officer in charge of
the submarine base.

BEST THINGS IN
LIFE COST COPS
NOTHING-CHIEF

The best things in life cost moth
ing-so Chief of Police Phil Miller
would have local police officers De
lieve.
why should you worry over the
high cost of living" quoth Chief
Miller. why the best things in life
cost nothing; for example:
1T costs nothing to keep out oil
your body substances like alcohol
that are known to be injurious,
but the cops admit that it is a great
temptation. He goes on to say.
That:
at costs nothing to stand erect
and breathe and walk properly.
ut costs nothing to have fresh
air in your home.
cit costs nothing to do setting-up
exercises every day.
1T costs nothing to masticate
ones food thoroughly; this insures
better digestion and less of the ex-
pensive, highly-flavored food is con-
sumed; money and health are
saved.
at costs nothing to cleanse the
teetn thoroughly aILeF eaCn meal.
BY so doing you may save not only
dentists bills, but surgeons and
doctors bills.
1T costs nothing to eat some
crusty foods that give proper en-
ployment to the teeth and thus
save dentists bills.
1T costs nothing to choose the
kind of food that the body needs.
1T costs nothing to feed the
mind WITH wholesome mental food
instead of trash or morbid literature
that easily decomposes and poisons
your whole life.
ut costs nothing to keep serene
and cheerful; to show malice TO-
ward none and charity for ALL to
keep out of the nervous system
'grouches' that waste your energies
and infect the lives of those around
you.
1T costs nothing to avoid dosing
diet so that the more expensive
flesh foods are not taken in excess
1t costs nothing to avoid dosing
yourself with patent medicines"

There are millions OF people
who suffer almost daily from the
horrors Of an acid-stomach-ind!-
gestion; sour, gassy. stomach;
distressing heartburn; sickeping
food-rspeating; painful bloat and
that miserable, pulled up, lumpy
feeling after eating. Many of
these people have tried treat
ment after treatment; medicine
after medicine; others have gone
to doctors and stomach special
lists and some to hospitals, but in
spite OF all of their efforts they
have obtained no lasting relief or
q permanent cure.
These symptoms simply mean
acid-stomach. II allowed to run
on. they are very likely to cause
a lot OF serious trouble. Dyspep-
STA, rheumatism, govt, .umbago.
sciatica, splitting headache. dizzy
spells, nervousness, sleepless-
ness, mental depression. melan-
choiia, a feeling OF lI5tlessness
and all-goneness-these y just
q few OF the disorders which can
be traced to acid-stomach AS a
matter of fact, acid-stomach is
often the direct cause of those
almost incurable conditions
known as catarrh OF the stomach.
intestinal ulcer, and cancer of the
stomach. The lives OF those who
suffer from these serious trou-
bles are nothing shor; of daily
agony. Surely, then, you must
sec how important it is to go at
once to the seat OF the trouble
