Insurance Best Check Device

The growing realization in the
criminal world that mechanical de-
vices cannot give full protection
against check forgery is causing
rapid increase in the amount of 1oss-
cs by this kind of theft, w. l.. Barn
hart. an official of the forgery de-
partment of the National Surety
company. said recently. He placed
the present annual loss from fraud
ulent checks at more than $780,
100000
While safety paper and contriv-
anccs which perforate or indent the
figures and names in a check afford
certain degree of protectioni
against amateur crooks, Mr.. Barn
hart said, criminals with a knowledge
of counterfeitng, expert penmanship
and the art of duplication have q
comparatively easy time in coping
with these precautions.
The only way in which a business
man or institution can be safeguard
ed against loss bv check forgery,
Mr. Barnhart said, is through insur-
ance. He FASTENED to add that he
did not discountenance the use of
mechanical devices, because. IN
doubtedly. they aided materially in
keeping down losses by foiling many
inexpert thieves. But, he repeated,
any check written can be raised by a
clever forger.

Boy Gently Controls
Frightened Horse

Something worth while was OBJ
served Saturday morning near the
Hinckley station. A boy and a
handsome. high spirited. iron grey
horse, were engaged in work in
which they have often been noticed.
that OF taking goods which arrive at
the station to the proper destination.
The boy, who may be Is years of
age, had driven to the usual stopping
place and was looking after his
parcels. The horse, suddenly be-
coming Enlightened at something,
started without warning, as if to run,
but after going a few rods stopped,
evidently in response to his young
masters word of command. The
manner in which the youngster ap-
preached the animal was watched
with keen interest from a nearby
window.
Going Gently to the horse he
picked up the reins, got into the
wagon and quietly backed the intel
ligent creature that acted in no way
nervous, evidently not expecting to
feel that yank of the bit in his
mouth or to hear loud, impatient
words.
1t was most pleasing to the OBJ
server to note the perfect under
standing between the horse and
driver and the humane manner in
which the animal was handled.

carves History on Mountain

When the United Daughters of the
Confederacy decided to place on
Stone Mountain, Atlanta, a record of
the heroic but hopeless struggle of the
South, they turned to the artist who
had created the noblest representa-
ton in sculpture of the hero of the
North. Lincoln. In the Forum, Gut
ION Borglum tells his own story Of
the herculanean task of designing
and hewing out an army upon the
face of a granite mountain. The
placing of horsemen, over one hun
dred feet in height, upon the face Of
the precipice. three hundred and fifty
feet above the surrounding ground,
extending over thousand feet, is a
task without precedent, he says.
tried the usual known methods of
enlargement but found, after scaling
the mountain. that no facilities
might invent for creeping safely over
its vast face would be adequate.
some simple plan had to be found by
which l could, after few hours of
sketching, throw upon the face Of the
part of the design, as a test-then
correct and redesign.
NY first thought was a silhouette
moved at will to any part Of the
mountain. This theoretically is
sound, but does not give accurate re-
suits. The idea led me to the stere-
opticon, which solved all this part Of
the big labor. OF course there were
no lamps powerful enough; there
were no lenses strong enough;
there was neither slide nor lens that
would stand the light. The Eek
perts." with the usual academic til
midity, urged us not to try anything.
Pictures could only he thrown from
two hundred and seventy to three
hundred feet by the best lamps to-
day." they said. 1 replied, Il could
throw my pictures on the moon, il 1
could get a slide between the sun
and the moon"
We have thrown our pictures thir-
teen hundred feet covering fifty thou
sand square feet Of the mountain.

Frances r. Adams. evangelist, led
the procession, forming in the vestry
up the stairway and on up the broad
center aisle of the church, to where
seats were reserved for them 1t was
a thrilling moment when the entire
aisle was filled, among these young
converts were some of our most
prominent townsmen, little families
marching together, fathers and
mothers. sons and daughters. At the
conclusion of the song the great
throng stood with bowed head while
prayer was offered. Then followed in
order infant baptism. adult baptism,
reception of candidates into church
memberships on probation and the
celebration of the Lords Supper. At
the conclusion of the service, a re-
ception was given the newly convert
ed men and women in which almost
the entire congregation participated.

ACIDS IN STOMACH
CAUSE INDIGESTION
Create Gas, sourness ana Pain
How to Treat

Medical authorities state that nearly
nine-tenths OF the cases of stomach trou-
Bile. indigestion. sourness. burning, gas.
bloatng, nausea, etc. are due to an ex-
cess of hydrochloric acid in the stomach
and not as some believe to lack of di
gestive juices. The delicate stomach lin
ing is irritated. digestion is delayed and
food sours. causing the disa greeable
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 in
stead get from any druggist a few ounces
of Bisurated Magnesa and take a tea
spoonful in a quarter glass of water right
after eating. This sweetens the stomach.
prevents the formation of excess acid and
there is no sourness, gas or pain. Bisu-
rated Magnesa Gin powder or tablet form
never liquid or milky is harmless to
the stomach. inexpensive to take and is
the most efficient form OF magnesa for
stomach purposes. 1t is used by thou
sands of people who enjoy their meals
with~no more fear Of indigestion.-Adv.s

French fishermen who follow their
trade off the entrance to the chan
mel of the port of Oran, Algeria,
were recently witnesses of a my ste
rious and terrifying sight. according
to Captain Andre Dubois, who has
just returned to Paris after two
years in an Algerian consulate.
Suddenly, emerging from the
waves, appeared the mast of a big
vessel; then, majeStically, the entire
hull came into view until the ship
appeared to be floating in a normal
position.
AS the fisherman gaZed spellbound
at this apparent apparition there
was an explosion which rocked their
boats, cloud of smoke, shower
of debris and the mysterious vessel
vanished again beneath the water.
The phantom craft. Captain Du-
bois reports, was the Norwegian car
go steamer Hivos, sunk in 1916 to-
Gether with an English boat by
floating mines set adrift the night
before by a German submarine.
The vessel carried 1000 tons of
wheat in her hold. The gas from
the gradual fermentation of the
wheat, finally collecting in the hull
the vessel, inch by inch, from her
watery grave, the Captain explains.
She reached the surface on the oc-
casion described, and the explosion
resulted upon contact of the gases
with the air.
The captain, who rushed to the
scene in his automobile, found the
fishermen greatly excited. and it was
a difficult matter to convince them
that what they had seen was not an
optical illusion or some sort of mys-
NC warning. like the oft-told tale of
the Flying Dutchman."
They were finally convinced that
what they had observed was in real
ity the sunken Norwegian ship, but
were eager to be assured that the
phenomenon was not likely to be
repeated, as there could be no sec
ond fermentation of the wheat.

Manila, Sept. 20 CA. P. by MaiD-
The Ifugaos, one of the most warlike
peoples Of the mountain provinces,
are becoming more friendly to the
lowland settlers in that province,
and have started trading with them,
it is reported here.
Deputy Governor Dosser, who has
been working for months toward es-
tablishing peace between the noun
tain people and the lowland settlers,
succeeded in getting more than $50
Ifugaos to take rice, vegetables and
baskets to Duluog, town on the
boundary between Ifugao and the
province of Isabella. These were ex-
changed with the lowlands for pigs
and chickens. AS a result Of this
venture several markets have been
established and trading between the
crstwhile warlike peoples is becoming
the order of the day.
