AIRPLANES FOR
AMAZONVALLEY
Brazilian Government May
Apply Them For a
Survey
Para, Brazil, Dec. 2. Airplanes
may be employed to map the valley
of the great Amazon river. If the
French are successful in their effort
to use aircraft for surveying the
routes of the rivers of French Gui
ana, it is understood the Brazilian
government will apply the same
method to the survey of the Amazon
and its affluents.
A French company is said to have
been formed in Cayenne, with hang
ars on the Maroni river, and French
aviators with flying experience gain
ed in the war are being employed
to run the twenty-flve hydroalr
planes said to have been furnished
by the government.
In addition to making maps the
machines will be employed for
carrying valuable freight, mails and
passengers. There are immense riv
ers in French Guiana which, be
cause of the presence of many
rapids, are now only navigable in
canoes which take weeks to trans-
Help Relieve Yourself
of Indigestion—/
Gas., Etc.,by Eating*
Physician tells (how—lf three meals a day distresses
you, take five meals a day to get rid of your troubles.
The "Food Treatment" for dyspeptics often gives
most surprising results in a few days' time.
-The real and true relief for most stomach
troubles must be found in the proper chem
ical combinations of foods, the auantlty
eaten and the methods of eating, and not in
strong drugs nor stsrvation diets—which
diets often only further weaken the stom
ach and impair the digestion by weakening
the whobf system on account of depriving
it of propxr nutrition.
Most people foolishly seem to pay but
little attention to excess acid gas and food
fermentation until it gets quite bad then
they usually take some drug merely to
neutralize the acid and give temporary re
lief, but they do not reach the cause. The
victim continues to suffer on frequent occa
sions until the disease finally becomes
chronic. The walls of the stomach and in
testines become highly inflamed and what
was first a simple irritation now develops
into gastric catarrh and finally, perhaps, into
a stomach ulcer. A highly inflamed, irri
table stomach is a good deal like a sore on
your finger, if you keep rubbing and Irrita
ting it, it may never get well. Every time
your food ferments and excess acid and gas
forms, it only further irritates your already
weak, sore and irritated stomach walls.
To bring about relief you must avoid
food fermentation and the consequent con
stant irritation it produces. It is often not
so much what you eat that does damage as
it is wrong chemical combinations of food.
For example: The following would be a
very bad breakfast from the standpoint of
correct food combinations.
Grapefruit or sour oranges, with sugar.
Oatmeal, or other cereal, with milk,
White bread, eggs and coffee. ,
The fruit acid tends to ferment the sugar
and the milk; the coffee may cause an ex
cess of acid and these two may start fermen
tation in the starch of the bread and oatmeal
or cereal. Then the fat in the yolk of the i
eggs becomes a burden and things may gen- j
erally go all wrong. Also what appears to

port freight over distances which
the hydroalrplanes can cover In as
many hours, with always large
stretches of smooth water offering
a suitable surface for landings and
"take-offs."
The freight charges are said to be
high, and the traffic Is expected to
consist mainly of gold, balato and
essence of rosewood—which are the
principal exports of the colony. The
passenger business is not expected
to be heavy.
These hydroalrplanes will also be
used for prospecting the forests for
balato trees, which grow in groups,
so that the foliage can, it is said,
be readily distinguished by aviators
flying low over the tops of the forest
trees. In the past , the securing of
fresh sources of balato has been a
work of much danger and difficulty.
Specially trained balato workers,
well armed, traveling in bands of
15 or 20, have been employed to
explore the forests and they had to
carry with them supplies to cover
many months.
Germans in Bahia Send
Mnch Goods Home
Rio de Janeiro, Dec. 2.—Large
quantities of foodstuffs are being
shipped by the German colonists in
the state of Bahia to their relatives
in Germany. The shipments, which
have been authorized by the state
food commission, consist principally
of flour, rice and sugar.
, be a simple breakfast of grapefruit, angar.
rolls and coffee, may, on account of the bad
mixture of fruit acid with sugar and starch
(bread), start a vinegar acid factory work
ing day and night in even a fairly strong
stomach for twenty-four hours at a clip while
a proper combination of foods would have
probably digested in the same stomach with
out the slightest difficulty.
If you have not made a careful study of
the suffering that may be caused by bad
food combinations, and how they may not
only upset your digestion but undermine
your nervous system and weaken your whole
physical organization, you ought to read the
interesting folder on this important subject
which has been issued by the manufacturers
of Pan-Zenn, which is a valuable anti-acid
carminative and stimulant to the stomach
and digestive traft. Pan-Zenn used in con
nection with proper food combinations ia
intended to prevent the formation of excess
acid and gas, strengthens the stomach and
increase the digestive power and thereby get
it into such a condition that it will properly
digest food without artificial assistance. Then
you do not have to be so particular about
correct food combinations. Once your stom
ach gets well you can mix most anything
together and it will digest. Pan-Zenn also
may be taken where quick relief is desired
which it produces usually In from ten to
fifteen minutes' time. Pan-Zenn is not a
secret remedy but a high class ethical prod
uct. The composition of its formula is on
every package so you can ask your own
doctor or druggist about it If you so desire.
A copy of the folder on advice on correct
principles of food combinations is contained
in each package of Pan-Zenn.
Be sure to examine the first package that
you purchase and see that it contains this
folder, as this information is highly im
portant to every stomach sufferer. ran-Zenn

Confetti-Covered
Couples Cannot Be
Wed hi His Church
Maryporft Eng., Dee. 2, —The
Vicar of the parish here, the Rev.
J. A. Richards, strongly disap
proves of persons showering con
fetti on bridal parties when they
are entering the church to be mar
ried. Writing in his parish maga
zine he savs:
"All right thinking people must
realize how unseemly it is for a
couple to stand before the alter on
their wedding day literally dripping
with confetti. The practice is also
unkind. The wedding day is a great
event in a girl's life. Much time
and money have been expended on
costumes. The bride and brides
maids take a pride In looking at
their best, and it Is abominable that
vulgar, brainless people should bo
allowed to smother them with con
fetti.
Strong measures, the Vicar adds,
"should be taken to. put this down
and we wish to give notice that peo
ple covered with confetti will hot
be allowed to enter St. Mary's
Church. They will have to come
to church in a decent and fitting
condition before the ceremony can
proceed."

state that immediately upon the
conclusion of peace, freight and pas

Porto Alegre is the capital of the.
state of Rio Grande do Sul, one of
the most prosperous states in the

population is German.
Before the war large quantities of
fruit, grain and meat products were
exported to Germany from the state

In his summary of the receipts is
810,280 interest earned on the State
road bond issue fund deposits. The
sinking fund which is maintained
for redemption of securities long
over due and which State officials
have been vainly trying to locate,
earned 813,401 in interest. The State
school fund earned over 815.000.
Over 866,000 was turned into the
general funds of the State through
escheated estates and property, while
828,709 was escheated for the school

who died intestate and without heirs.
Ono of the Interesting signs of

name by brewing and distilling com
panies which have been operating
In this State for years. In almost
every case these companies are
dropping the words indicative of
their business out of the corporate
title and using only a proper name.
One company changed its name from
brewing to beverage. Numerous
companies to manufacture and deal
in "soft" drinks have been securing

Public Service
Hears Pittsburgh Case
Public Service Commissioners sat
to-day for thfe final argument in the
complaints against the Pittsburgh
Railways Company, litigation which
began in the spring of 1917 and on
which there have been numerous
hearings and a valuation of the
properties of the company by five
different sets ■of experts. The argu
ment began lato yesterday afternoon
and was continued this morning. It
may be weeks before the Commission
reaches a decision.
A. W. Robertson, who opened for
the company, contended that the
reproduction cost at present prices
as agreed upon would be 8102,000,-
000, whild George A. Alter, the sec
ond speaker for the company, said
that taking figures of the complain
ants the fares were not as high as
justified. Even if the valuation was
as low as 848,000,000, as some want
ed to make it, he asserted that the
agreed upon annua expenditure, ex
elusive of the wage increase would
be more than 814,500,000 and the
wage increase was estimated at a
million dollars more. This would
make nearly 816,000,000. If the
rate of return should be 7 per cent
it would make over three millions
more or an annual charge of 818,-
400,000. The best estimate of 1920
revenues lie said were around 817,-
000,000. lie said that there was no
complaint now against service.
C. K. Robinson, opening speaker
for the city, declared that the public
should not be forced to pay for
superseded property and declared
that earnings had gone to 10 apd
12 per cent. He insisted that items
in the valuation should be wiped out
and that the people had already paid
for them. He also assailed the
schedules; continuing his talk to
day. George Munro, for Pittsburgh,
and Howard W. Douglass, for Mc-
Kcesport, closed for the complain
ants, while E. W. Smith was the
concluding speaker for the company.
