An acid stomach ages people
much more than the years they
live; it creates more thin and weak
bodies, and faces with sallow COM
plexion than anything else; it
causes more bad breath and carves
more wrinkles of misery and age
than all other evils put together!
Why?
Because a stomach full Of acid
sours your food, and starves your
body.
A tablet or two Of Papes
Diapepsin chewed after meals will
dissolve the acid in your stomach
and clear up that sour, bioated,
drowsy feeling. 1t will help your
stomach digest your food. You
will get back your young appetite;
you will gain weight and your COM
plexion will be clear and firm.
All drug stores have Pape's
Diapepsin.

areas, where the flowage is sluggish,
separated by more or less distant
ridge formations, step down to the
sea at the Gulf of Mexico. On either
side of these, stretching away for
many miles, vast swamps extended
in the old days, which periodically
became part of the river itself.
These forest swamps were the
natural flowage areas for flood con-
ditions; the river became chain of
lakes, coming together to flow in a
definitely marked channel where it's
course crossed the intervening ridge
formations. These flood lands, in
general, are the ones which have
been reclaimed by building levees
and attempting to keep the river to
a restricted channel throughout it's
course; and they are the ones that
have been devastated by the recent
| floods.
Is National Problem.
my own belief is that final So
luton of the flood difficulty must be
reached through combination of all
the factors which have described.
1T is a national problem. While
the immediate disaster may be con-
sidered to affect only the South, no
intelligent person will deny that
such an economic and social ca
lamity will, in the long run, affect
the national economic and social
fabric. One large area of body po-
little cannot suffer so large an injury
without a resulting shock to the nor
NAL functioning of the remaining
area. We, who live in the North,
around the upper end of the Missis-
sippi river have a strong bond of fell
lowship in the river which ties us
with sympathy to the devastated areas
of the South. We are looking for
ward to the day when traffic on the
Mississippi river shall relieve us
from the high transportation rates
from which we are now suffering.
Transportation on the Mississippi is
interviewer with the problem of the
control of the flood waters. All being
Americans we have a common prob
lem here that we must solve. We
shall be glad to cooperate with you
in an intensive and sustained effort
to achieve results"

cal elements mentioned" says Miss
Ada L. Lockhart of the National Dairy
Council. in commenting on the 98-cent
chemical value of the human body.
"As DR.. E. v. McCollum, world food
authority, points out, milk is rich in
both calcium and PHOSPHORUS. In
fact there are but two classes of foods
that are, relatively rich in calcium.
the principal element in lime and the
important constituent of the substance
of bone. These are milk and the leafy
vegetables"
According to DR.. Henry C. Sherman,
noted food chemist Of Columbia Uni
versity. milk contains calcium, mag
nesium, potassium, sodium, phos-
phorus. chlorine. sulphur, and iron.
Since the proportions which the
chemists have named of the various
elements show that there is more lime
in the body than any of the other
chemical constituents, it is particu-
larly important to realize that milk
is the main source of supply for lime
or calcium.

TAXATION PROBLEM INDIVIDUAL
MATTER

Discussing the taxation problem,
Edward T. Barber, Editor and Man
ager of the Western Colorado Beet
Grower, Grand Junction, Colorado,
says: ~~
ours is representative form of
government and we do not pay a
single cent of taxes we have not voted
upon ourselves, either directly or
through our representatives"
Total cost of government, including
federal, state and local, as well as
capital OUTLAWS and debt retirements,
amounted to $11,124 100000 for 1925,
compared with $1O,9S3 100000 in 1924
and $2,919, 100000 in 1913.
Increase in 1925 over previous year
was wholly due to rising expenditures
of state and local governments which
in 1925 increased $500,00O,000, and
were largest in history.
The taxation problem must be
looked at as a strictly individual mat
ter. Your vote is worth just as much
as any other PERSONS in vetoing pro-
posed measures which would increase
taxes, and in removing men from pub
lie office who are lax in expenditure
of public funds.-Industrial News
Bureau.

AVERAGE MANS BODY

LEADING SCIENTISTS

Chemically, the average man, five
feet ten inches high, and weighing
about $50 pounds, is worth about SO
cents according to scientific research
recently reported to the National Dairy
Council an organization promoting
health and child welfare.
1t is interesting to see how mans
market value is divided. This is
what the chemists say the human
body is made of:
Enough fat to make seven bars of
soap.
Enough iron to make a nail of
medium size. .@
Enough sugar to fill shaker. r..
Enough lime to whitewash a chick

A LITTLE TALK ON THRIFT
BY s. w. STRAUs

President American Society for Thrift
Eighteen years ago an Italian man
ufacturer, noting the steady column
of volcanic steam coming from the
ground in an Italian mountain valley,
conceived the idea that this steam
could be made to drive an engine.
He set up the necessary equipment
and soon was running the machinery
in his plant with power which nature
had been wasting.
This experiment in utilization of
volcanic steam has been successfully
followed in many parts of the world.
In Bolivia the government has grant,
ed concession through which steam
from Mt. Tatio will be made use of
in generating electrical energy for
Bolivian railroads.
Engineers state that our own coun-
try, particularly Yellowstone Park,
possesses untold sources of wealth of
this description.
Mechanical engineers are becoming
more and more interested in the prob
lem of utilizing the tides of the sea
for generating electric power. English
engineers have stated that it is only
matter of time until the tidal ac-
tivities in the harbors of Southern
England will be made use of, while
engineers in the United States and
Canada are interested in studies being
made of the problem of making use
of the tides in the Bay of Fundy.
The development of hydro-electric
power which in recent years has
reached large proportions, is, in the
opinion of many experts, only in it's
infancy.
Scientists are experimenting, with
apparent hopes of success, in utilizing
the suns rays and the wind as sour
ces of power.
The development of these projects
not only provides an interesting study
as to what the next so or 100 years
will bring in the daily lives of the
people, but it illustrates the great
fundamental truth that thrift, con-
servation and efficiency are among the
impelling factors in all human pro-
gress.

FLYING NEARER HOME

Yes, we are surely living in an age
of fast transportation. There are
three good railroads between the
Twin Cities and the Twin Ports af-
fording splendid passenger service be-
sides a paved road with buses and a
stream of cars, and now comes the
announcement that there is to be an
air transportation line between those
terminals starting next week. The
present schedule calls for an hour
and-a-half trip each way, leaving
Minneapolis at 9 a. m, stopping at the
municipal air port at st. Paul, and
arriving at 1890 a. m. in Duluth.
The return trip will start at $3.50 p.
M, arriving in Minneapolis at p. m.
The price however is such that we
will not all be flying right away, the
rate being $3.50 each way, so a per-
son is yet safe in buying an autOmo-
bile and knowing. that it will not be
obsolete so very soon.

Lindbergh's flight to Paris surely
stirred up the air men. The At

they are busy spanning the waters OF

no point on the globe is impossible to

certainly play an important part.

centuries ago, before the time of
christopher Columbus. In the days

A BETTER MOUSETRAP
Duluth Heraldl

If man can write a better
q book, preach a better sermon or
make a better mousetrap than
his neighbor, though he builds
his house in the woods, the world
will make a beaten path to his
door.
Who wrote that?
Controversy has ragged, rather mild
ly, for years over that question.
Some said Emerson, but nobody
ever found it in any of Emerson's
writings. -.
Others said Ebert Hubbard; and
though it is found in Hubbard's writ
ings, it is credited there to Emerson.
Afterward, when he found it popular,
Hubbard claimed it vigorously for
himself.
The Pathfinder seems to have found
the clue to the mystery. 1t was Hub
bard, even though in his own work
he credited it to the sage of Concord,
who wrote it.
He wrote it meaning to apply it to
his own industry at Roycroft, where
they were doing things differently
and where many people made pilgrim
ages to see them done that way.
But he thought, apparently, that it
would seem to lack modesty if he said
this himself so he wrote it and Gre
dited it to Emerson. This was not the
first or only time he did such a thing.
His secretary writes that he used to
say: when you want to say some
thing and don't want to take the re-
sponsibility for it yourself, blame it
on dead man. He can't deny it."
And so, apparently, Hubbard coined
this bit of philosophy which was at
the same time a bit of praise for his
own work, credited it to a dead phil
osopher, and put it in a book called
Borrowings" s,:,.
Later Hubbard said: Ralph Waldo
Emerson never wrote that mousetrap
Observation-Disclosures That was "a
mousetrap that caught a lot of lite
rary mice intent on orphic cheese"
1t really doesn't make so much diff
ference who wrote it. Or who wrote
anything, for that matter. The i'm
portant question always about any ut
terance is whether it is true -:
And this one is true-especially if
the maker of the better mousetrap
advertises.

ture of the issues raised by the prob
lem of flood control
Skeptical Of Forest Argument
1T is fairly plain what the physi-
cal difficulty with the Mississippi
river is. When we first began to
build levees and reclaim the swamp
lands along the river we interfered
drastically with a widespread natural
condition. Many people claim that
the whole modern flood condition has
been caused by deforestation of the
watershed; that in primeval days the
forests held back the waters and
floods did not occur. doubt this
argument; 1T sounds too much like
nure theory to me- There is nothing
in a forest to hold back water. The
forest did of course establish a more
eouable and continuous flow through
ont the season, But when the coun-
try was in continuous forest there
was more moisture in the air and
heavier precipitation than there Is to-
day. I believe that the Mississippi
river then could have shown US
greater floods than those of modern
times. But the floods simply extend
ed out into the swamps. and nothing
happened.
..The ground formation along the
Mississippi is such that nature In
tended it to be flooded at certain sea-
sons; there is no getting around this
cardinal fact. A series of almost level
