A BOUT two hours after eating many people suffer from sour stomachs. They call it indigestion. It means that the stomach nerves have been over-stimulated. There is excess acid. The way to correct it is with an alkali, which neutralizes many times its volume in acid. The right way is Phillips’ Milk of Magnesia—just a tasteless dose in water. It is pleasant, etlicient and harmless. Results come almost in stantly. It is the approved method. You will never use another when you know. . , Be sure to get the genuine Phillips Milk of Magnesia prescribed by physicians for correcting excess acids. 25c and 50c a bottle—any drug store. The ideal dentifrice for clean teeth and healthy gums is Phillips’ Dental Magnesia, a superior tooth paste that safeguards against acid- mouth.

Latest Fire Equipment any one still gaited to live in a small place this town possesses . . , , innumerable wonders. O. Henry . ls m a class Wlth the one y° u are creek—until you notice the sky scrapers near them, none of which one wing. Los Angeles firemen art being equipped with breathing apparatus so they can walk through oil well twines. never ran out of amazing tales. Just for instance visualize a sub- way* train rushing through the bowels of the earth at a speed of j sixty miles an hour with 3,000 peo ple packed in its ten cars to the point of suffocation. There is no danger to them, but still it is the height of modern travel. One motorman, Hitting up alone in a stuffy little compartment, con trols the lives of vast hordes of his fellow-citizens. He gets about $6 a day for carrying ah that respon sibility. Subway Curiosities— The subway is a mysterious piece of engineering. At one station one rides up five floors to take the train. Three miles away, on the same line, one leaves the # train, en ters an elevator and rides up six floors to the street level. The engineers must have had some bad days trying to figure out how they could run trains up and down hill at sixty miles an hour. EVen the switchback railways at county fairs would have been tame beside such a road. In fact it couldn’t have been done. And so one is rushed home on a track that crosses valleys at tree top heights, and burrows below ground between 70 and 100 feet. Across the Tracks— Most small towns have the poor er section of the town on the “oth er side of the tracks.” That’s where the section hands and other men who live by hard labor live. New York used to consider any thing east of Second Avenue or the Bowery as “the other side of the tracks.” But things have changed. Somebody found that the air along the East River was just as pleasant as that along the Hudson. An experiment was tried and a high-priced apartment house put up. Tenants, whose social posi tion was beyond question, flocked to the new building. Others fol lowed rapidly and now there are miles of expensive apartments, all full and paying well, located “across the tracks.” Queer Neighbors— Greenwich Village, which used to be bordered on one side by the resi dences of H. H. Rogers and his friend, Mark Twain and other noted and wealthy families, and on the other by Italians recently from the old country, is another part of town that has beep chang ed from a plai.ee of. evil-looking houses to a section^®! high rents. The penetration blj tlie wealthy residents into the cheap districts is continuing. There are streets yet where one house will have eight or ten residents to a room and the next block will be filled with ten ants paying $150 to $200 a month for three rooms. The two classes of tenants pass on the street without any, feeling of class distinction. A $10,000 auto often parks just behind a barrow from which*some foreigner is sell ing overripe bananas or even fish Thrill of a Lifetime— There is just one spot in all New York City that cannot be missed by any visitor who really wants ro see the town. That is the top of the Empire State Building. Thai oth er people have the same idea is shown by the fact that visitors there are running around two million a year. Don’t go there on a holiday. You will get into crush like the subway in rush hours. Other views have become fam ous all over the world. The Lon don Monument and St. Paul’s Cathedral have stirred poets to song; the Eiffel Tower has drain ed the powers of descriptive art ists; npllions have stood in awe at the tops of the Swiss Alps, the Canadian Rockies or Pike’s Peak. To my way of thinking, having seen most of the others, A1 Smith’s building tops them all for a thrill. Man’s Highest Structure— The Empire State is the tallest building in the world. The first elevator shoots you up 80 stories in about half a minute. Coming down you find your ears have been on. Honors Real Heroes— All other famous buildings have the names of the owners of archi tects well played up. The Empire State is different. One nees on all sides pictures of the men who made the building possible. And one notices that they are the workmen; the blasters of the cellar, the men who rode the whirlwind when the steel girders were rising, the ma sons who laid the stone walls at giddy heights, and che engineers who braved cataclysmic falls when they proved up the steel and stone as it soared into the empyrean. For the first time the horny- handed toiler is honored for pursu ing his ordinary vocations while risking his life every hour of the day. The champion workers have their names cast in bronze in the lobby. A fitting honor for future generations to see. A Wide View— The day we went up was a clear one. To the north one could see Bear Mountain, behind which lies West Point,' fifty miles away. The hills for miles beyond that were in clear view. Looking over the ground one could trace Washington’s cam paigns. Memories of Major Andre, the White Plains battle, Washing ton Irving’s country, with Sleepy Hollow and the Headless Horseman and Rip Van Winkle all were re called. It’s a spot for a dreamer who knows history. In all the world, perhaps, there is no one place where one can call up so many memories as that view to the north. Sandy Hook— Southwardly lies New York Bay, the Statute of Liberty, Ellis Is land and, far in the background, Sandy Hook, the last point of land the vessels to Europe pass. One can see ocean-going steamships put out from their Hudson River piers and nose their way downstream to the broad ocean. You notice the bustling little tugs dodging about; the lumbering fer ries shouldering their way from shore to shore. And the eye can reach to the Pocono Mountains in Pennsylvania, the harbors along the Connecticut shore, Long Is land’s thousands of “necks,” or miniature bays and peninsulas. The view is like a relief map one can see in almost any museum. It is worth a trip to the city if there was nothing else to see. ixt Why Farm Records? OF VALUE AS GUIDES IN PLAN NING AND OPERATING FARM ENTERPRISES CLEMSON COLLEGE, Oct. 17.— In for a period of low selling prices for farm products such as the pres ent, farmers must summon all the facts available to determine a pro fitable operating plan, thinks J. T. McAlister, extension agricultural engineer, advising the keeping of farm records as guides to intelli gent planning. Government and other agencies are making available a great mass of facts on nearly every phase of agriculture, and these facts, when localized, are helpful; but the most important facts for any farmer, Mr. AcAlister states, are those re- • lating to the operations on his farm, and can be obtained only by keeping a record of the enterprises engaged in and operations per formed. Such a record is merely the history of things' done or at tempted, telling when, where, how, and giving costs and returns. While they require time and nat- ience, records are well worth their cost and are valuable even though the enterprise did not prove profit able, showing why it failed. Some times, the specialist continues, far mers find themselves confused in interpreting records of their enter prises, particularly if such enter- prisefe have shown profit when the entire farm showed a loss. In such a case the enterprise may have been too small to affect the entire earnings, or considerable farm ov erhead was not included in the records. A good farm record, Mr. McAl ister points out, aids a farmer: (1) in deciding what enterprises and what combinations shall consti tute the care of the farm business: (2) in determining financial re quirements and in negotiating loans; (3) in determining best methods in handling livestock and crops as well as labor; (4) in de ciding upon the best type of pow er and equipment; (5) in knowing in advance the supplies needed so they may be bought with whole sale advantage; (6) in studying possible changes in the enterprises, ways of increasing yields, and ways of reducing production costs.

Was it I? I have robbed my sister of her day of maidenedhood (For a robe, for a feather, for a trinket’s restless spark). Shut from Love till dusk shall fall,, how shall she know good, How shall she go scatheless through the sin-lit dark? I who could be innocent, I who could be gay, I who could have love and mirth before the light went by, I have put my sister in her mat ingtime away— Sister, my young sister, was it I? Was it I? I have robbed my sister of the lips against her breast, (For a coin, for the weaving of my children’s lace and lawn). Feet that pace beside the loom, hands that cannot rest— How can she know motherhood,, whose strength is gone? I who took no heed of her, starved: and labor-worn, I, against whose placid heart my sleepy gold-heads lie, Round my path they cry to me, lit tle souls unborn— God of Life! Creator! It was It It was I! * ^
