the stomach, but modern science has
taught US that many diseases have their
beginning in the arrangement of this i'm

working right. the entire body is affected

CANNING FACING A DECLINE.
Several Causes Contribute to Set Industry
Back This Year.

Dclaware's canning industry will suffer
a severe setback, according to the reports
Of several of the leading Gamers OF
the State, who held an informal meeting
here yesterday afternoon to discuss the
situation. Ii is claimed the crops this
year will be far below normal, but this
is only one Of the minor contributing
causes to smaller production. The
sale by the government of enormous
quantities Of canned goods at reduced
prices, which are being held in stock
by many dealers and individuals will
work havoc with the canning industry.
The canners declare that a decided
slaclSening in the volume of their orders
already had been noticed by salesmcn.
The scarcity Of lhbor, the high wages
paid to employees and the prices Of ma
terials, which in some instances have
advanced 30 per cent, also were given as
contributing causes.
