BIG DEMAND FOR CASTOR OIL Government Has Arranged for Exten. sive Cultivation of the Plant— Needed in War Service, Among the war booms is one in thd production of the castor bean, and the government has become a partner in the industry of producing the plant and extracting the oil. The govern- ment has let contracts for the cultiva- tion of 100,000 acres of the plant and nearly all this area contracted for lies in- the South, 60,000 acres being in Florida. - The government has entered this line of industry because the demand for this strange oil has outstripped the supply, and the price has risen to a great height. But it was not the high price of the article which induced snuch action, but the scarcity of the oll, which is considered as being essential to the prosecution of the war. Castor ofl is usually thought of in terms of medicine, but its highest value to the allies in this war is as a lubricant for engines of maximum power and mini- mum weight, engines whose pistons work at the greatest possible speed. For airplane engines it is the best lu- bricant known, and that is what castor oil is being now largely used for. The cultivation of the castor plant, which was once quite a flourishing in- dustry in several of the states of the West, notably California and Kansas, and also in some of the southern states, languished because of the competition of castor beans grown In India and be- cause of the devolpment of the petro- leum industry and the competition of mineral oil lubricants.

COLORS THAT BEGIN TO WIN Midnight Blue, Deep Burgundy, Tobac co Brown and a Siiver Blue— The Mermaid Frock. So far the buying of French gowns has not begun. They have just started to make their appearance from be- lated shipments. But as far as the American fashions have run, and as far as the on has settled itself down into a broad highway on which we will tread, the colors that will~win out are midnight blue, deep Burgundy, tobacco brown and a silvery light blue. asserts a fashion writer, By the way, there is a remarkable new gown in this sitvery blue. It used to be called lake blue, and it may still go by that name, for It has a peculiar shimmer of white over it like surface water or moonlight. It Is worth de- seribing in detail because it is new and most alluring, The gown made in it is a mermaid frock, and all the material used Is crinkled into a machine pleating that is finer than anything we have ever known. It is a ono-piece frock, with a skirt that clings to the hips, goes in at the ankles and knees, then spreads out into a little froth over the feet which is kicked aside as the wearer walks, There is a round bodice, with a round decolletage, and two very flat pleces that extend helow the girdle on the hips. The sieeves are like fins, very short and peinted at the back, A woman with yellow hair could wear this frock and pass for a mer- maid. The gown is of so supple and transparent a testure that when it is in the hand it shrinks into nothing- ness like a balloon with the alr out of it.

Very: THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER AVIATORS MUST DO “STUNTS”| iqyerve ‘st to e o ,,lgg‘e,lGOODBY, Feats That Seem Foolhardy Really Are Most Necessary in the Train. N ing of Zirmen. Before the war there was, says Ed- win Bidwell Wilson in the Yale Re- view, much criticism of professional exhibiting aviators who, to thrill spec- tators, put their machines into all gorts of dare-devil attitudés and fre- quently themsclves came suddenly down to death. In fighting, the ability to dc all manner of “stunts” is essential. The more completely a pilot can con- trol his machine, the more easlly he can toss it hither and thither—cutting figure-eights, looping the loop, nose ¢lving and tail diving—the better chance he has for his own life and the more certain he is to get his op- yponent. Sad as are the continual re- ports of death by accident at our avia- tlon training camps, we may rest as- gured that for an untrained pilot to go overseas to the front is almost cer- tainly fatal, and that for every life lost in tralning, many are saved in fighting. Fortunately airplanes today are so much stronger structurally and so much better equipped and con- trolled than before the war, that this necessary “stunting” in school and on the field is no longer really dangerous ——the real danger now lies in physical inability to “stunt.” Not only must the pilot of the single-seated fighting scout be thoroughly expert on the wing, he also must be a crack shot with his machine gun. Small wonder that it takes months and months to train an aviator who may develop into an ace.

B I I I I I I Indigestion, Gas, Bloat, ~ Heartburn, Caused hy Acid-Stomach What is the cause of indigestion, dyspepsia, bloat, heartburn, food-repeating, belching, gassy, sour stomach, and all the stomach miseries that bring s0 much distress? Just this—acid-stemach— superacidity as the doctors call it. It robs millions of their full strength, vitality and the power to en- joy life—to be real men and women, Scientists have J)roved this but you do not need to take their word; you can prove it in your own stomach, by getting rid of the excess acid and find- ing out how much better you will feel. Letyour own stemach be the judge. It will tell you the truth. Decide then according to your own feelings, if acid-stomach is net directly responsible for a long train of ailments that in time become so seri- ous that they baffle the best medical skill. It is well knewn that an acid mouth destroys the teeth. The acid mouth can be detected only by a chemicai analysis, and still it is so powerful that it eats right through the hard enamel a.ad causes the teeth to decay. This certainly is fair warning of what excess acidity will do to the delicate or- ganization of the stomach; as a matter of fact, excess acidity not only produces at the start.a great many Ynin!u and disagreeable symptoms that we generally name ‘‘stomach troubles,”’ but it is the creator of a long train of very serious ailments. Acid stomach_interferes with the digestion and causes the food te ferment, the stomach gets sour and creates gas, and then this mass of sour, fer-- wented food, charged with excess acid, pasees into the intestines, where it becomes the breeding place for all kinds of Eerms and toxic poisons, which in turn, are abgorbed into the blood stream, and in this way distributed throughout the entire body. Of course, these poisons naturally attack the weakest_points and cause the most trouble where they find the least resistance. The bad effects of acid-stomach do not show up at once, but, you can see the beginning wherever you go in so many people who, while not actually doewn sick, are al- ways ailing—have no appetite, food doesn’t digest, belching all the time, continuaily complaining of being weak and tired and worn out, It is this acid poigon in the system that takes the Pep and Punch out of them, makes life & hardship, Ienvin! little or no vitality to enjoy the real pleasures of life. The simple thing, the humanly sensible thing, is to strike right at the very cause of all this lroub?e snd clean this excess acid out of the stomach. This will give the stomach. a chance to digest the food properly; that is all you need; nature will do the rest. There is & quick, easy way to bring this about— a wonderful new discovery makes it possible to re- move excess acid without the slightest discomfort. Itis called EATONIC, madein the form of tablets— they are good to eat—just like a bit of candy. Their action in the stomach is & good deal like a piece of blotting paper taking up a drop of ink—they liter- ally absorb the injurious excess acid and carry it away throu(gh the intestines. They also drive the bloat out of the body—in fact you can fairly feel them work. Try EATONIC and see how quickly it ban- ishes the immediate effects of acid-stomach— bloat, heartburn, belching, food-repeating, indi- estion, etc. See too, how quickly your general health improves—how much more relish you take in eating—how much more easily your food is digested—how soundly you sleep—how nervous- ness and irritability disappear. 1t is 80 easy to get this help—and it costs so little.
