New uses for electricity are con-
stantly appearing. One of the latest
is the detection of crude oil in the
earth instead of boring for it. 1t is
stated that crude petroleum has been
located electrically in the shallow oil
field near Corsicana, Tex, and that
further tests are being made around
Burkburnett. A series of batteries is
used for the test, the negative ter
minal being connected to a wire
which is dropped into dry waterhole,
valley or indentation, and the positive
terminal being connected to a ''land
wire" which is used to make contact
at various points on the surface of
the field investigated. 1t is stated
that the higher electrical resistance
of oil compared with other constitu-
ents of the earth. permits it to be To-
Gated by the reduced detection of a
sensitive instrument in the circuit.

The root of many of the evils of sick
ness is the bowels, very vital part of
the human body.
A cold, a fever, diseases or the like
can be helped at once, providing the
operation of the bowels is normal-the
first and most important relief can be
had by giving a laxative, be sure it is
the proper kind.
Most everybody in these days of
quick action and strife, forget their
health. The laboring people bolt down
their meals, often go to bed right after
eating, and wake up in the morning
restless, force down a breakfast and
then are distressed all day.
