MEN OF SCIENCE PUZZLED
Find 1t Hard to Account for the
Erratic Movements of Deep
Water Fish.

The cratic movements of fish are
a constant source of worry to Scien-
lists, who, try as they will, can never
account for the vagarieS of these sea-
dwellers- Here is case in point: In
May, 1879, the fishing schooner Hutch
ings, sailing from Gloucester, Mass,
was under the command of Captain
Kirby, TRAVELLING for cod off Nantucket.
A strange fish came up in the nets,
large creature covered with yellow
spots The men caught over two tons
and brought them to land, where they
were found to be an entirely new fam
1y- Scientists named them title fish,
For three years, till 1882, the fish were
caught in huge numbers, then the
"bankers" reported that they were no
longer to be seen. The news came that
the sea was covered with dead tile
fish, Six thousand square miles of sea
were almost hidden by the dead bodies.
Authorities said that there must have
been volcanic disturbance or else
some deadly disease had killed off the
fish. In 1915 schooner working in
the same waters, caught the tile fish in
abundance, and to this day the fish
are there in millions.

One of the worst features of acid
stomach is that very often it literally
starves its victims in the midst OF
plenty. And the strange thing about
it is that the people with acid-stomachs
seldom know what their trouble
really is
No matter how good or wholesome
the food may be, or how much they
eat, they do not gain in strength
This is clearly explained by the fact
that an acid-Stomach cannot properly
digest food Instead of healthy, nor
NAL digestion. the excess acid causes
the food to sour and ferment- Then
when this mass of sour. fermented
food, charged with excess acid, passes
into the inteStineS, it becomes the
breeding place for all kinds of germs
and toxic poisons. which in turn are
absorbed into the blood and in this
way distributed throughout the entire
body. And that is exactly why it is
that so many thousands of people eat
and eat and keep on eating and vet
are literally starving in the midst of
plenty. Their acfd-stomacns make it
absolutely Impossible for them to get
the full measure of nOuriShment out
of their food. And it doesn't take
long for this poor nourishment to show
ated body.
You may say: MY stomach doesn't
hurt me- That may be true because
many victims of acfd-Stomach do not
actually suffer stomach pains. Then
again, there are millions who do suffer
all kinds of aches and paIns-head-
aches. rheumatic twinges. govt. Ium-
bago. pains around the heart and in
the chest-who never dream that an

1905 the alliance was further extended
to provide for the defense of British
interests in India and Afghanistan.
while England agreed to give Japan

Great Britain should not be bound to
