Medical authorities state, that nearly nine-tenths of the cases Of stomach trouble. indigestion. s0urness, burning. gas. bloating. nausea, etc. are due to an excess of hydrochloric acid in the stomach and not as some believe to a lack of digestive juices. The delicate stomach lining is irritated. digestion Is delayed and food sours, causing the disaSreeable symptoms which every stomach sufferer knows so well.
 Artificial digestents are not needed in such cases and may do real harm. Try laying aside all digestive aids and Instead get from any druggist a few ounces Of Bisurated Aagnesia and take a teaspoonful in a quarter glass of water right after eating. This sweet ems the stomach. prevents the forma- ton of excess acid and there is no sournesS gas or pain.

There has been more activity in inc velvet mill situation this week. The weavers and quite a few other employees have been out since the 18th of5January. This was owing to the reduction, of wages ana because of the two-loom running system which had been installed. this latter factor being the primary cause of the weavers leaving work. Work had been slack at the plant and some men have been out, of employment since the middle of December, 1920.
 Things have been quiet and several attempts have been made to reach an adjustment. The men seem willing to stand for cut in wages but do not want the two-loom system. Some of the men claim that age wiH prevent their taking care of an extra loom. though part of the one-loom labor was to be taken from them and given to other hands and this, the mill officials claimed, would tighten their task and aIlew the weaving of more yards of velvet.
 Tuesday Clarence Wimpfheimer, repre- senting the mill owner, canie to Stoning- ton and calls were made by him on a long list of men, During the day several conferences were held and they seemed to indicate that a settlement would be reached. There were indications of a compromise by each side

Usea of Mica.

The stun we call mica has been used since very ancient times in India for many odd purposes. Washermen em- ployed t to give a sparkle to cloth It is the material out of which ~unbreakable" lamp chimneys are manufactured and Is used for windows and glazing material for pottery and for the backs of mir rows. Artists in India utilize 1t largely for paintings.
 Mica, ground to a fine powder, has a high reputation in India as q medi- cine, says an exchange. It Is prescrib- ed as tonic. Native physicians are said to have a secret process for dis solving mica-which, supposing 1t to exist. would be an enormous valuable discovery, inasmuch as 1t would mean that mica could be used for making un- breakable tumblers, decanters and other dishes.
 By far the most important depostts of mica in the world occur in belt which lies in the northern part of the Hazarfbagh district in India There 1t is commonly found in plates large enough to have marketable value.

Words have not been discovered nor coined which would describe the beau ties of the Grand Canyon of the Colo rado. It remains for Jos. McAleer, of the Phoenix Nash company, who has made many trips from Phoenix to the canyon, to offer an article writ ten by Charles F. Lummis. which probably comes nearer to describing the greatest natural wonder of the earth than any other written word.
 The article follows.
 By Charles E. lummis
 Tn the very cradle of time, the Grand Canyon was waiting, under the slow smile of God, for man to come to 1t and know His chiefest wonder vision on earth; this vast chameleon. unearthly, attainable, mirage in im- mortal rock.
