WHEAT IS EASILY I never took any stock In the common notion of "Indigestion" as an explanation for Illness or dis tress severe enough to de mand medical relief, never un til one dismal afternoon when an hour after had eaten part of a fresh cocoa nut, I was seized with a serious bellyache. Noth ing like a belly ache of your own to make you realize how se rlous It can be. X became sorely dis tressed about it. My conscience, be lieve It or not, began to be uneasy too I recalled the many aarcastlca tlons I had uttered about "acute Indigestion" in the years I had been harping on health. A touch of Irony la well enough In the proper place, but after all and then It occurred to me that I had eaten cocoa nuts often enough before with Impunity o-o-h, maybe some reader wno had failed to receive a reply had slipped me a little poison. You will never know how despondent I was when I crawled Into bed and sent for a doctor. And the doctor never knew how happy I was when he said "TJm, yes, we had better operate Im mediately." Only the tender condi tion of my belly kept me from let ting out a hearty haw-haw. As soon the anesthetic had worn off i took a look at that gangrenous ap pendix and ordered a couple of cocoa nuts on my tray. Indigestion eh? A near thing for me. Suppose my doctor had been one of the hum bugs who acquiesce In the dangerous diagnosis of Indigestion" until they can find out what really ails tne patient. Where would X be harping now? Acute indigestion" la a dangerous deluslon, and the sooner a compe tent physician or surgeon Is sum moned the better. Mere retardation or for that matter total failure to digest any food or combination of foods never prduces more than vague discomfort. If one suffers from actual distress, bloating, gns. colic, cramp, pain, nausea, vomiting, especially! when such distress persists or re- j curs periodically, there Is surely; a pathological cause for It some I trouble with appendix, gtllaac, heart, ' kidney, spinal nervous system, onl a good physician can say. All we can say here Is that one Is a fool to attribute such serious symptoms to "Indigestion." Even though old timers, some of fcararvfyre NEW YORK, Aug. 7.

Comment on the Day s News By FRANK JENKINS EVERY effort ought to be made to get to the bottom of this story (which so far Is vague and Indefi nite) about the disappearance of W. E. Steffen, secretary of the restau rant employes' union at Grants Pass. TIERS are ugly intimations that Steffen waa kidnaped by Grants Pass business men and run out of town and told that It wouldn't be safe for blm to ccme back. " The whole tale, as these words are written, Is sadly lacking In corrobo rative details, but the implication Is that Steffen was unionizing the res taurant workers and that employers didn't like It and resorted to direct action. . These intimations and Implications ought to be traced down and either verified or definitely disproved. IN THE relatione, between employes and employers, . there la no place for violence or for disregard fof law. If we tolerate these things, wa are heading straight for trouble, and the trouble will AFFECT EVERYBODY. THIS Grants Pass episode, whatever It Is, has disturbing possibilities in the way of arousing ill will. It should be Investigated, thoroughly, completely and IMPARTIALLY. If Steffen really was kidnaped and told to get out of town and warned not to come back, the self-appointed vigilantes who did It should be run down and made to feel the stern hand of the law. We want noni of that sort of thing In Southern Oregon. BREWERY IN I PORTLAND, Ore., Aug. 7.

The true facts are that I received a telegram from A certain cannery in San Francisco that they were buying Bartletts there at the above price. Which can be verified by the West ern Union. Upon Investigation from another cannery I found that very few peara had been sold at that price which were of a bad lot. I have had Yalclma prices to offer at all times and have refused to offer that prlc. My prices this season will be tha same as other canneries offer, and my growers are generally one hun dred percent satisfied. I have noth ing to do whatever In regard to what the price of Bartletts will be. My own Individual opinion I may ex press as many others do. I still be lieve that tha northern canneries are not going to buy aa heavy a tonnage as usual out of southern Oregon, and the price of Bartletts will be set by California canneries, and much less tonnage will be bought up this sea son. The price will depend upon tha stiffness of the esstern market, new orders coming In and deterioration and quick closing ot California Bart letts. In closing I feel sure that my friends and growers have confidence In me, and pay no attention to a false rumor. COURT HALL. Miners Bury "Jinx" EUREKA, Ariz.
