AID STOMACH DIGEST
FOOD
WITHOUT LAXATIVES — AND
YOU'LL EAT EVERYTHING FROM
SOUP TO NUTS.
The stomach should digest two
pounds of food daily. When you eat
heavy, greasy, coarse foods or when
you are nervous, hurried or chey poor-
ly — your stomach pours out too
much fluid. Your food does'nt digest
and you have gas, heartburn, nausea, |
pain or sour stomach. You feel sour, |
sick and upset all over.
Doctors say never take a straight
laxative for stomach pain. It is dan-
gerous and foolish. Take World's
Tonic, with alkalines, for indigestion to
make the excess stomach fluids harm-
less, relieve distress in a few minutes
and put you back on your feet. Relief
is so quick it is amazing and pne
bottle of Warld’'s Tonic may prove it.
World's Tonic contains a goodly
portion of roots and herbs gathered
from various parts of the old countries
where many of us and most of our
ancestors originally came from. Get

THE UNION
ODD TALE oF SEA;
THE SEQUEL COMES
Incident That Proves Men of
The Sea and Their Sons
Do Not Forget.
HARBOR GRACE, NEWFOUND-
LAND.—Newfoundland’s strangest
‘story of the sea was told here.
Forty years ago Captain Barbour
and his crew were ‘‘working seals”
some hundred miles off the New-
foundland coast.
At nightfald, when the sealers re-
turned aboard the steamer from the
ice over which they had hunted
during the day, they reported seeing
another vessel—not a sealer. The
vessel was sinking and was caught
hard and fast in the drifting ice
floes, writes S. L. Sheppard in the
Chicago Tribune.
Captain Barbour started his ship
in the direction the seal hunters had
indicated. At noon the next day,
after heavy butting and pushing
through the ice with his ship, the
lookout in the crow’s nest reported
there was no sign of a ship, but
there appeared to be a crowd of
men huddled on the ice.
Pushes Ship Into Ice.
Captain Barbour pushed his ship
harder into the ice. Just before
night again closed in he reached the
marooned crew of the ship which the
sealers had spied.
The ship was gone, having been
crushed in the ice and sent to the
bottom, but Captain Mitchell, its
skipper, and the 27 members of his
crew had scrambled on to the ice
before it sank. They were taken
aboard the sealing steamer.
Captain Barbour abandoned his
sealing voyage and took the ship-
wrecked men into St. John’s, New-
foundland.
Now, 40 years later, comes the
sequel.
Capt. Ken Barbour, a son of the old
sealing skipper, is a skipper in his
own right now. He is in charge of
the motor ship National IV. In it,
with his crew, he left Fishing Ship
Harbor, Labrador,” for St. John’s.
Three miles off Battle island the
ship’s tail shaft broke and jammed
the rudder hard to starboard, leav-
ing the helpless ship drifting toward
shore.
The vessel seemed doomed until
the captain managed to run up a bit
of head sail, all the canvas the ship
carried. He worked the ship off into
the traffic lane of ships passing in
and out of the Strait of Belle Isle.
The ship drifted for days. Seven
passing ships failed to see its dis-
tress signals, but the eighth reached
the National IV and took off Capt.
Ken Barbour and his crew.
Though the rescue ship was rac-
ing against time, its captain decided
that, rather than sink the National
IV he would change his course and
tow the disabled ship into St. An-
thony.
Captain Barbour, as he thanked
his rescuer, was astonished to learn
that the latter’ s name was Captain
Mitchell.
“Why,” he cried, “‘in my home I
have a large photograph of a Cap-
tain Mitchell of Bristol.
en to me by my father, who rescued
Captain Mitchell from the ice 40
years ago.”
“That,” Captain Mitchell replied,
“must be a picture of my father.
Often I’ve heard him speak of your
father’s kindness.”
