 The company had ordered McAllister to sink one huodred shafts and nine crosscuts on the property during the winter of 1923 1924. A contract with ahe Chinese was made for ,the job by McAllister, who used the old freeze down process in sinking the shafts.
 McAllster stated, with smile, that he could not remember the nameG of the Chinese, so called them all by Irish names, such as McClarerty, Sullivan, Shaughnessv, O'Doou. The Chinese laborers understood the Irish names perfectly.

Australia Gives Reciprocal
Tariff With Canada
Mingled Reception

Melbourne, Australia, Jan. 11-(By
A. P.)-Although the reciprocal tariff
with Canada was received first with
enthusiasm and was ratified by the
federal parliament by vote of IS to
Z, the feeling in business circles now
is less buoyant.
The Tariff Board reported as fol-
lows: 1.-THE proposals are admittedly
of greater immediate benefit to Can
ada than to Australia. Raisins and
currants are the only lines in which
we can expect to do extensive busi-
ness. The one great concession, one
which Canada is very anxious to
have, is the open market in Australia
for newsprint."
The labor party opposition leader
in parliament termed the trade
treaty IAN absurdity and a delusion."
He looked on Canada as colony OF
the United States. saying 1t had
adopted a similar policy. selling any
where, buying nowhere.

TAKE SALTS #
STOMACH ISN'T
ACTING RIGHT

Cndigested food delayed in the
stomach decays. or rather ferments,
the same as food left in the open air
says a noted authority. He also tells
us that indigestion is caused by Hy-
peraciGity meaning there Is an ex-
cess Of hydrochloric acid in the
stomach which prevents complete di-
gestion and starts food fermentation,
Thus everything eaten sours in the
stomach much like garbage sours in
a can, forming acrid fluids and gases
which initiate the stomach like a toy
balloon. Then we feel a heavy,
lumpy misery in the chest; we belch
up gas; we eructate sour food or
have heartburn, fiatulence, water
braSh or nausea. 3.
He tells us to lay aside all digestive
aids and instead get from any phar-
macy four ounces of Jad Salts and
take a tablespoonful in glass of
water before breakfast and drink 1t
while it Is effervescing, and further
more, to continue this for week.
While relief often follows the first
dose. it Is important to help neutral
ize the acidity, remove the gas-mak-
ing mass, start the liver, stimulate
the kidneys and thus promote free
flow of pure digestive juices.
Jad Salts is inexpensive. and is
made from the acid of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with lithia and
sodium phosphate. This harmless
salts is used for many stomach dis
orders with excellent resultS.-Adv.

Economy Deprives Editors
CT Safe Guide in Spelling

Washington, Jan. IA - CA. P.) -
The economy policy of the Coolidge
regime has had it's effect even in the
drawing rooms of fashionable Wash
inGton society.
One of the latest items of expense
to be clipped from the annual budget
is the small. but much sought after
monthly publication called the Dip
lomatic List, wherein the names and
official titles of all members of en-
bassy and legation staffs heretofore
have been made available by the
State Department.
Department officials have decided
that ne editions of this diplomatic
book will be printed hereafter only
when there has been an accumulation
of necessary revisions. Consequently
no hostess now can be certain,
without special inquiry. of the pre-
else rank Of diplomatic officials, or of
the correct spelling of some of the
iawbreaking names of those sent
here to represent distant countries.
The change has been a particular
cause of disturbance to social secre-
taries and society editors, accus-
toEed for years to the possession of
a ready reference tabulation of all
