JOURNEYS IN
BRIEF

0F all the Australian countries,
~ Tasmania most nearly resem-
bles it's English motherland. Not
only is it like England geograpni-
cally, having about the same Gu
mate, countryside and products,
but its people live a life strangely
like that of the English. This is
not strange, for the Tasmanians
modelled, deliberately, their lives
from the English. Particularly Is
their educational system based on
that in England, while their social
life is utterly identical.
AS in England, at harvest time,
the city dwellers trek out to the
country to engage in hop picking
or apple gathering. Indeed, the
apple industry is Tasmania's chief
source of foreign income.
Tasmania is one of the States
of the Australian commonwealth,
and as such may send six sen.
ators and five representatives to
i the federal parliament. Its local
constitution is much like that OF
the other states OF Australia in
that it has an executive govern
nent consisting of four ministers,
each. responsible to the legisla-
ture. consisting of a legislative
council and a house of assembly.
This government has, so far, been
successful, and ever since Tas-
mania threw in it's lot with the
commonwealth, there has been
even greater contentment than
when it was an English colony.

DEAR MISS ROBINSON:
My husband and ! have worked
hard for years to buy a little
home outside the city and finally
saved enough to buy a car. There
are two or three persons who live
along our way who expect us to
pick them up every day to and
from work. This has been done
for the past two years. and is still
going on. These persons have
never bought a cents worth of
gasoline or anything else for us,
and, in the meantime, seem to be
piling up their money for rainy
day.
We know we are "plain saps"
to stand for all this, but can't do
! anything about it unless we in.
suit these people outright. We
have friends whom we would like
to accommodate occasionally, but
we never have any room for them
on account Of the three buns.
Besides being brought to and
from work every day, these same
buns are always suggesting nice
trips we can all take. Can yoM

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
by DIR. Louis e. Bisch


WHIE stomach is often confound-
! ed with the abdomen. The
stomach is situated well under
ribs, on the left side.
That explains why the heart
may become embarrassed in its
action when the stomach Is dis
tended. What happens Is that the
stomach balloons out with gas,
presses upwards on the diaphragm
Ia muscular dome separating the
abdominal cavity from the chest
cavity-and this cramps the
heart.
Over-eating. OF food difficult to
digest, may therefore produce the
familiar indigestion 8 y m p m. s
with social heartburn" The
pain may be very severe, even
the neck feels as though COM
pressed in a wise.
The stomach has capacity of
about five pints. Too much liquid
constantly poured into the stom-
ach may dilate it, stretching and
weakening the stomach walls un-
til they sag down we'll below the
free border of the ribs. This was
not an altogether unfamiliar con-
dition in the olden days with
heavy beer drinkers.
The stomach walls are made of
muscle and these churn up the
food and mix 1t well with the
gastric juice which is poured into
the stomach from the stomach
walls. The two important ingre-
dients Of the gastric juice are hy-
drochloric acid and pepsin.
In the first place the gastric
juice helps to reduce the food into
a liquid condition. 1t also starts
digestion going, the process by
which the various elements of the
food are reduced to state where
they may later be absorbed
through the intestinal walls into
the system.
The average time required for
stomach digestion is three hours,
although pork may take as long as
five or more.
The man or woman who is FOR
ever rushing hither and yon and
working under high pressure is
very apt 10 get LAS SSOHldCH CuL u
order. Acid stomach is b common
result, technically known as shy
perchlorhydria," that is, too much
hydrochloric acid.
Under these circumstances there
is more acid in the stomach THAI
required for ordinary digestion,
and it may be present in varying
amounts before food enters the
stomach. This produces marked
hunger sensations. Sometimes
definite burning exists. The pain
or discomfort is largely relieved
through eating, but annoying SEN
sations may persist even after eat
ing.
The stomach itself can be
treated and alkalines used, such
as bicarbonate of soda. to neu'
tralize the increased acidity. "hls

to sea once more, this time on a tour
of peace, carrying her historic mes
sage to the ports of our country.
Then the thousands of Americans who
have contributed to her building may
see a rejuvenated Constitution, and
feel closer interest in this ship be-
cause they have helped save her once
more.
Over two and half years were
spent in looking up data on the ship
before the actual task of rebuilding
her was commenced. The archives
of the Navy department were
searched for original plans designed
by Joshua Humphreys; every known
bit of information concerning her
was checked and recorded; old pa
pers and documents were dug up
from the records of the bureau of
construction and repair in Washing
ton, and plans and specifications of
former recOnditionings were studied
in order that the best methods and
materials might be used in restoring
this famous ship. AS the work
progresses new plans must be formu
lated to replace lost or unreliable in
formation, in order that the rebuilt
Old Ironsides may be an exact dupli-
cate of the original.
The task of assembling materials
for the work has been no small one
Just as the best materials Obtainable
were placed in Old Ironsides by her

original builders, so it is desired
that the best possible material be
used in her restoration. 1t happened
that in COmmOdOre's pond, Pensacola,
Fla, many tons of live oak had been
submerged for use in building wood
en- frigates for the navy. The war
that freed the slaves who gathered
this wood saw the passing of the
wooden fighting ship. So for -
years this supply of live oak has
been stored in Commodore's pond.
In the rehabilitation of Old Ironsides
use has been found for it, To date
some 1905 large pieces, aggregating
approximately 1850 tons, have been
received at the navy yard from PEN
sacola. This timber is being used to
replace the cupboard timbers of the
ship. 1t is just the thing needed and
it is anticipated that many more tons
will be required before the work is
completed.

have been ordered for the work:
White oak from West Virginia for the

ately known as Old Ironsides, be dis
posed of. Whereupon Oliver Wendell
Holmes wrote poem which instant

cry and instead of being sold Old
IronSides was rebuilt.
Years passed. After withstanding
the effects of enemy shot and shell
and Drawing the weather of the sew
en- seas during a fighting career
which has never been equaled by
any single ship in the history of any
navy, Old Ironsides was again on
the verge of hauling down her col
Ors to the ravages of time and decay.
Dry rot had operated toward her de-
struction and had taken effect where
hostile gunfire had failed. Although
there was now no Oliver Wendell
Holmes to rally public opinion with
a clarion cry to save Old Ironsides
from destruction, the needs of the
gallant old ship did not go unheed-
ed. In March, 1925, congress author
lied the rebuilding of the frigate. No
funds were appropriated for that pur-
pose, as it was considered that Old
Ironsides would be more valuable as
a naval memorial and that Americans
would feel closer interest in her if
she were restored through popular
subscription.
In the spring of 1925 a national
committee was organized to raise
sufficient money for the work of res
toratiOn. Sponsored by the Elks
lodges, campaign was conducted
among the school children of the
country, which was decided success
not only in raising funds but also in
serving to teach American history
and patriotic tradition. More than
$4,000 was raised by the children's
contributions. Then the national
committee turned its attention toward
reaching the grownups. 1t commits
stoned a famous painter, Gordon
Grant, to paint picture of the
famous ship as she looked in her
prime, the original of which is to be
presented to President Coolidge to
hang in the White House. Reproduc-
lions of this painting, as well as
souvenirs made from the original
timbers and metal work of the ship,
are being offered to the public and
the proceeds from these sales are be-

Long has it waved on high,
And many an eye has danced to see
That banner in the sky;
Beneath it runs the battle shout,
And burst the lannon's roar
The meteor of the ocean air
Shall sweep the clouds no more.
Her deck once red with heroes blood,
Where knelt the vanquished foe,
When winds were hurrying DER the flood,
And waves were white below,
No more shall feel the victor's tread,
Or know the conquered knee
The harpies of the shore shall pluck
The eagle of the sea!
Oh better that her tattered hulk
Should sink beneath the wave;
Her thunders shook the mighty deep,
And there should be her grave;
Nail to the mast her holy flag,
Set every threadbare sail,
And give her to the god of storms,
The lightning and the gale!
