the way to gain almost incredibly
quick relief, from stomach condition
arising from overacidity, is to alka
lize the stomach quickly with Phil
lips’ Milk of Magnesia.
You take either two teaspoons of
the liquid Phillips’ after meals; or
two Phillips’ Milk of Magnesia Tab
lets. Almost instantly “acid indiges
tion” goes, gas from hyperacidity,
“acid - headaches” — from over-in
dulgence in food or smoking — and
nausea are relieved.
Try this Phillips’ way if you have
any acid stomach upsets. You will be
surprised at results. Get either the
liquid “Phillips” or the remarkable,
new Phillips’ Milk of Magnesia
Tablets. Only 25/ for a big box of
tablets at drug stores.

These are everyday figures any
time from the middle of July up to
the first week in September. Many
of the guides who handle tourists
during the salmon season are other
wise occupied in trade and profes
sions the remainder of the year,
termed by them as the “slack pe
riod.”
Occasionally a guide inadvertent
ly referring to his legitimate occupa
tion will let slip something worth
while, thus enlivening the intervals
between bites, and there are inter
vals—in everything. If interrupted
by a strike, the conversation ter
minates in the middl- of a sen
tence, and he is again a fisherman.
From the guide staff at the Elk
hotel, overlooking the salmon
waters, I drew Stephen Erickson,
a giant of a man who could make
a skiff behave like an airplane in
any sort of a tide. And he knew
where the salmon were. In the
course of our victorious raid, I in
quired as to what might be his job
when winter came.
Bob Can’t Tel! a Lie.
“Piano tuning," he said, without
changing the rhythm of his stroke,
“headquarters in Vancouver. For
the last ten years, come August, I
take two or three weeks vacation
at Comox, guiding anglers. When
off duty, I fish for my own amuse
ment For that brief interlude from
harmonizing the seven and one-
third octaves between A natural in
the lower scale and C natural in
the upper, I live an entirely separ
ate existence, without which I
should go mad. Do you play the
piano?”
Had he asked about my ability
as an angler. I could have lied like
any other fisherman. But being
ject of piano construction. “What
is the pressure on each string when
it is in tune?” I asked.
“Reel in the line and have a look
at your spoon. We are passing
through float sea weed—an average
of 160 pounds I should say. That
figure applies to each string from
the shortest, two and a quarter
inches in the treble to the lorigest,
thirty-nine inches in the bass.
Piano Stands Punishment.
“The combined pressure repre
sented in the eighty-eight strings of
a properly tuned piano is about
fifteen tons, which tension, pre
served by equal distribution, is im
perative in keeping an instrument
in tune. Most complicated and del
icate in point of construction, is the
sounding board.
“Perfect strings, flawless tuning
and the finest of key movements
will not avail if the sounding board
is defective in the slightest par
ticular. The average instrument,
played in the household, should be
tuned every four months: every
three months in warm climates.
Professional musicians carry a
piano tuner with them and point
up the instrument before each
recital. There are pianists who are
like automobile drivers, and can
throw an instrument out of key in
no time.”
Fewer and Better Makers.
“From where do the best strings
come?”
“Up to a few years ago, Germany
was far in advance, but with the
development of steel in the United
States, piano strings reached per
fection. There was a time when
fine copper wire was jsed to wind
twenty strings in the lower register.
Recently it was discovered that
soft iron could be wound tighter
and produce better tones than cop
per, although both are still in use.
Only to the most sensitive ear is
there a perceptible difference.
Player pianos, operated mechani
cally. made a tremendous advance,
enabling the world's greatest con
cert players to reproduce technic
and tone flawless to the nth de
gree.
“What is the future for piano
manufacturers?”
“Fewer and better builders. Be
fore the war, more than four hun
dred accredited firms were listed.
Wholesale reorganization reduced
the number to less than fifty. There
will be less. We ought to get a
strike right along here by the red
buoy. Last week a New Yorker
took a fifty-two pounder out just
along this bank ... a gold button
fish.”
