Caused by Gas

Often dull, full feeling in chest is
caused by gas from undigested food
pressing upwards towards lungs.
Sometimes gas presses on hear and
is mistaken for heart trouble. Simple

AUSTRIAN WORKERS
WAGES INCREASED

B4sa compromise solution strike
threaghout the whole metal industry
Of Austria, affecting 100000 workers
and their families, or one-sixth Of the
whole population, has been averted.
According to the principle now In
operation in Austria. by which wages
are adjusted according to the index
figures for the cost of living. the
workers were entitled to a 81 per cent
raise. The bosses offered them 80
per cent.
Finally the trade union officials
oOmpeOmiaed On 80 per cent. Their
members ratified the compromise,
chiefly out Of consideration for the
fact that a strike in the metal indus.
try would have thrown thousands In
the chemical and textile industries
out OF employment also.

GOOD ATTENDANCE

Have you noticed that practically
all the teamsters and chauffeurs en-
ployed on the Harbor head north on
G street Wednesday evening? Some
magnetic power has been drawing
them down that way for the past
three weeks especially. BY trailing
them we have discovered the reason
and will let the public in on the secret
next week.
II Sandy didn't swing such a wick
ed gavel, more might be said at this
time. Can safely predict that all at
tendance records have been broken
during the past month.
Some Of the merchants are also
wondering why the teamsters are
wearing out SO many trousers. II
one takes the time to inspect them
closely II viii be noticed that they
are usually worn out at the knee. It
might be wise for some manufacture
er to turn out trousers with more
durable material at this point. Tin
pants could also be tried.
