The Man Woman Who Can Eat Heart
uy and Not Fade Away Is the Welcome
Guest Anywhere.
Many people just hate to eat in
company. They prefer to crawl into
some by-place for a dyspeptic's plate
of molly coddle. Business men often
resort to this form of weakness under
the belief they can work better. But
Il isn't what you eat but what you
digest that counts. Some stomachs
can't digest even a glass of milk. So
they simply keep on feeding dyspepsia
and get gas, water brash. sour risings
and so on that the better informed
and hearty eaters entirely avoid. This
they do by using Stuart's Dyspepsia
Z Tablets.
Many physicians prescribe them for
Indigestion, dyspepsia and other di-
gestive disorders. They are sold at
every drug store, everywhere, price SO
cents a box.
Ask your druggist more about them.

Moreover, stocks of petroleum had been depleted to a low point and be- cause of the denuded state of Euro pean neutrals and enemy countries and the certainty of a revival of ac- tivity in the automobile industry there was every reason to look for a continued large demand for most oil products. At the same time war con- ditions had caused a shrinkage Tn market values of oil securities and they had not reflected the favorable conditions prevailing within the in- dustry These factors furnished the incentives for the beginning of the boom.
 But the public had little interest in the shares of the substantial oil companies and did not enter the market until later on. It is hard to explain exactly what caused the pub lie to turn to the oil stocks. Per haps it was partly because of the record of oil in the war, already re- ferred to. People who had never given thought to the oil industry could not help being impressed with

and are now restocking their supplies has prevented the total consumption from falling off.
 Even with the big Texas discover ies the daily average production late in une of 1919 was running at only about 1,025,000 barrels, which is but a trifle more than last year and com pares with S12,500 barrels in 1914.
 Why Did the Public Turn to Oil
 Stocks?
 Thus the boom in oil stocks which has taken hold of the entire country is the result of combination of cir cumstances. Following the ending of the war there existed a real and sub stantial basis for a rise in the mar ket value of oil securities. The close of hostilities found the petroleum in- dustry in probably more favorable position than any other of our basic industries. It needed no particular liquidation or readjustment. Prices of petroleum products had not scared to the dizzy and artificial heights which characterized certain other inn portant commodities.

the widespread newspaper and maga- zine stories of the remarkable war work of the motor lorries in France. The installation of gasless Sundays last summer brought home to motor ists the enormous demands upon the oil industry and called to the coun- trv's attention the fact that the United States was supp lying the bulk of the worlds oil requirements.
 Then too just as the public atten- tion was turned to oil the speculative forces of the nation were released from their long wartime restraint. Several years of pent up speculation were turned loose, as it were, just as the imagination was being fired for the first time by oil. The orgy of speculation in stocks, especially in oils, has been akin to the spirit of celebration on the day the armistice was first reported signed.
 Finally, the last six months has been an especially 1propitious time for boom in oil stocks because it has witnessed the development of one of the greatest oil districts ever

engines may depend on it. The inf- mediate consideration is the increas ing use of bunker oil. Most of this heavy oil comes from Mexico and recently the National Coal associa- tion appointed committee to con- sider the danger to the coal industry. So grave does it appear that the com- rnittee reported in favor of asking congress to put duty upon Mexican oil.
 The navies of the world seem head ed for oil as a fuel, several of them already using it. The British navy was vast consumer of oil during the war and Earl Curzon said that the Allies had "floated to victory upon sea of oil" But more i'm portant consideration is the merch- ant marine of the world. The ad- vantages of oil are obvious. It takes up less room on the ship, it reduces labor expenses and is more quickly and easily loaded. One of the many factors which probably led to the present boom in oil stocks was an article by Edward N Hurley, chair man of the United States shipping board, in which he estimated the amount of oil which might be used by the new merchant marine now building in this country. If our shipping plans are entirely carried out and all the ships should burn oil, more than one-third of the worlds entire production would be required, Indeed, if all the shipping of the /; world should go on an oil basis the worlds production of petroleum at present would fall short by nearly a half, without even considering other use of the product. Of course all the shipping of the world is still far from being entirely on an oil basis, ] and the figures given are merely for the purpose of getting perspective on the subject. But the eagerness with which such a great commercial nation as England is trying to pro- vide for it's future oil requirements is clear indication of what the flu ture has in store. This country pro- duces the lions share of the worlds oil, but England is searching it's vari- ous dominions for the product, and drilling has even been going on in England itself where oil had never been found before.
 Growing Consumption.
 Figures are tiresome things but a very few of them are necessary to give an idea of the increasing con- sumption of oil. Since 1898 the use of petroleum in this country has in creased between seven and eight fold. Since 1878 it has increased nearly thirty fold. It has jumped enormous .L-1 are significant:

Now the remarkable fact is that in spite of the sensational discoveries of oil in North Texas within the last year or two the production is still barely keeping pace with consump- tion. It might be supposed that the end of the war would bring an end to the monster demand, and to some extent the cessation of naval opera
 tions did for time reduce the de- mand for the heavy fuel oils. But the demand from European countries which were denuded of petroleum products in general during the war

Another indication of the enormous drain upon the soil production of the wrold which the war effected are contained in the shipment of crude oil from Mexico to this country:

LARGE ACREAGE
 PURCHASED IN
 SOUTH AMERICA

The purchase of large acreage of land in Columbia, South America, is said to be the nucleus of one of the largest mining corporations in the country. It will have millions back of it and will operate gold and platinum mines for 50 miles along the river. Lewissohns have been trying to get these properties lined up for years, and now that they have secured the rights to go in and mine they pur- pose rapid development. The com pany is to at once ship in it's machin- cry and prepare for the work mapped out by it's engineers. The capitaliza- tlon of the company is $1,5OO,OOO $5 shares and has been underwritten at $10 per share. Some of the large companies operating in South Amer ica are to be also associated with the Lewissohns.

EXTENSIVE WORK
 TOSTART ON DIANA

Upon the recommendation of the Western Exploration Company, with >offices at 910 Higgins Building, Los Angeles, California, the Diana Mine located one and one half miles west of Chloride, has been taken over by w. s. Douglass, and Owen Goldsmith, representing the Security Corporation of New England, with offices at 85 Devonshire Street, Boston, Mass.
 Extensive development of this pro- perty has been planned and work will begin sometime between July 18th ant August 1st. The development provides for immediate work in the main shaft which will be sunk with out interruption to a depth of 400 it., and no doubt to a greater depth later on
 The Diana lies west of Chloride and embraces the ground between the old Merrimac and the Tuckahoe Mines. Five we'll defined veins course through the property of the Diana, all of which at some point exposed surface ore of very good grade. Upon two of these Assures known as the north and Main veins, we'll defined ore shoots have been exposed, all of the oxidised ore of which was mined and shipped in the early days. A po1s:on of ths ore is reported to have been of sufficient grade to warrant shipments as far as Swansea, Wales. These two last mentioned shoots lie about 700 fit. apart and it is the plan of the present operator to open up the entire ground between these two shoots to at least a depth of 400 fit.
 The main shaft has a depth of 200 it., at present and cross cut to the main vein from the shaft at this level has exposed vein material 12 to 16 fit. in width with a shoot on the foot wall of clean quartz carrying finely dis seminated sulphides assaying approx imately twenty dollars in gold and silver, over a width of five fit.
