When Food
Sours
I^ots of folks who think they have
“Indigestion" have only nn acid condl
tlon which could bo corrected In five
or ten minutes. An effective antl-nrld
like Phillips Milk of Magnesia soon
restores dlgesllon to normal.
Phillips Coes away with all that
sourness and ras right after meals It
prevents the distress so apt to occur
two hours after eating. What a pleas-
ant preparation to take! And how
good It Is for the system! Unlike a
burning dose of soda—which Is hut
temporary relief at best—Phillips
Milk of Magnesia neutralizes many
Umes Its volume in acid.

advertised all over the world, so as
to help nil of the sick.
“In 1012 1 had a great deal of trou-
ble with my stomach and bowels. For
several years I tried everything that
I saw advertised, but I kept getting
worse all the time. I got so had that
I was in bed for three months in 1010.
While in Philadelphia In 1017 I hap-
pened to see one of your ads. I had
tried everything that I thought was
any good, but concluded to give Milks
Emulsion a trial. It could not do any
worse than the rest.
“To my surprise It regulated my
bowels and I found I did not suffer any
more after eating and had no pain
at all. \ continued the use of Milks
Emulsion for six months, until I was
In fine health and have been for the
past eight years. When I think of the
way I suffered night and day for six
years, I feel that every person with
stomach and bowel trouble should
know about Milks Emulsion.” Yours

with granite, hreastplated against the
driving rains with slate, in a granite

But Cornwall has charm and It Is
a charm of enchantment. Its moors
are broken hy hidden valleys, the ex
Istence of which one does not suspect
until their lips are reached, filled with
the greenest grass, from which great
trees tower. The hedges that rim In
the roads, worn down by centuries of
traffic, glow with the purple of fox-
glove and the yejlow of the furze. In
nn hour’s drive one passes from cliffs
of a ravage. sneer hostility, nt whose
feet break the most dangerous seas In
England, to smiling estuaries amid
rolling hills on which tho green of
English oak alternate with glowing
fields.
History and tradition piny their
parts in creating Cornwall's charm. It
was on Cornish shores that galleys
landed in search of tin long before the
Roman rule In England Local tradi-
tion holds that Jewish traders gave
Its name to the little village of Mara*

It Is a pity that archeologists laugh at
this fanciful etymology.

Wrecker* and Smugglers.
It Is not many years since wrecking

the parson’s lame mare, with a ship’s

to hobble of an evening along tlm

for generations searched for tin and
copper In mines that are at once
among the deepest and the most men
geily equipped in the industry. Where
gold or silver or copper Is to he har-
rowed for under mountains, they are
to he found as lenders in their cruft

selves and were candid and perhups
plHtllled. In their doubts of I he res:
n.* mankind Their more sociable mo
merits seemed devoted in almost Ma
sonic secrecy to rue discussion of an
Iron-bound religion.
But It Is difficult for a visitor to
Cornwall to understand lids Western
misconception of the Cornish char-
acter. Certainly no more kindly or
hospitable man exists than the Corn-
isliman upon Ids native heath. Vet
the Cornish are assuredly a race
apart. Just as Cornwall differs In as-
pect from Its neighboring county of
Devon.
Cornish People a Race Apart.
Formed of a union of the primitive
tribes and the Brythonie race which
gave Its name to Britain, und only
slightly modified, according to students
of ihe race history, h.v succeeding in-
vasions of Roman?, Saxons and Norse-
men. they kept their own language
until well in the Eighteenth century.
They will speak of “going to Eng-
land,’’ as if It were a foreign country.
Cornwall is the southwesternmost
county of England. It is a great pro-
montory, 75 miles in length, armored
against the sea with granite, slate, and
serpentine, and 45 miles wide at its
greatest, where the River Tamar bars
it from Devon. It contains approx-
imately 1,350 square miles and 300,-
000 people.
Thanks to the Atlantic oceun and
the Gulf 8lream on one flank of its
triangle, and to the sheltered waters
of the English channel on the other,
Its climate is In great part so ex-
traordinarily warm and equable that
enthusiasts refer to Its coast ns the
Cornish Riviera.
It Is true that snow seldom lies, and
It is also a fact that In a comparison
of average mean temperatures the ad-
vantage would he altogether in favor
of certain Cornish watering places as
against the winter climate of the
Mediterranean const.
Yet one should not take these assur-
ances altogether nt their face value.
The winds of Cornwall are so rough
that in tlie uplands the few small
hushes one sees are dwarfed and
twisted. and about T.nnds End the win-
dowpunes are ground to opacity by the
blowing sand.
Cornwall Is nn unchanging land.
No doubt Diodorus, who wrote of his
visit to Cornwall in the time of Julius
Caesar, found Lands End just as it is
today, save for a few excrescences of
inns and lirhtlmuses and lifeboat sta-
tions. The very name has not been
disturbed, for Lands End is the Celtic
Pen-von-l.nr, which literally means
‘the end of the earth.” What is the
name wf the Longships lighthouse, bat-
tered h.v waves on a rock nearby, hut
a translation of naves longue—‘‘long
ships’’? And does not tlie rock on
which it stand* suggest a Roman gal-
ley to one of hut a little Imagination?
He who doubt? should not come to
Cornwall. Yesterday seems »?ery near
nt hand.
Mines Mostly Abandoned.
The great central plateau of Corn-
wall is of chief interest to the busi-
ness man and to the archeologist
There are found the many small towns
which depend nn the copper and tin
mining Industries, on farming, or on
the great pits from which clay Is
taken, some of which is sent to China
for the manufacture of porcelain. For
the most part, the copper and tin
.mines have gone too deep to he profit-
able. until some new invention comes
to the rescue or prices rise out of all
reason. To t his cause Is due the pov-
erty and depression which may he
seen In so many places on the moors.
The Cornlshmun is a horn gambler
in hard rock. When It became diffi-
cult to attract outside capital, he or-
ganized Ids own local concerns to work
mines. Many companies of adventur-
ous miners, too, were formed to work
leases on the share plan, just as
Cornish fishermen go share and share
alike in their boats.
The failure of the mines not only
bankrupted their owners, hut drove
them Into other lands. One now sees
a pitiful succession of empty houses
on the moors—fine, square, granite-
built houses that will endure the
weather for centuries—und. come to
think of It. almost every Cornlshmun
one meets away from home Is a miner
by trade.
No patt of England Is ns rich In
prehistoric antiquities as Cornwall,
and nowhere, one may guess, is the
study less satisfying to an archeologist,
of ihe numerous Cornish crosses,
about all that can he said Is that
they date from somewhere between
the Fifth and Twelfth centuries, when
Cornwall was Christianized hy saints
from Ireland many of whom, accord-
ing to tradition. Honied across the nar-
row seas in stone coffins. But one
Cornish cross Is perilously like all
oilier Cornish crosses,

TO MOTHERS OF
UNDERWEIGHT
CHILDREN
“Two Tablespoons of Karo
in a Glass of Milk doubles
its Food Value”!
rpiIIS statement is made by one of America’s greatest
X child specialists.
“Karo”, says this physician, “is not only a delicious
sweet, but the ideal food for the underweight child. Karo
can be added to the diet without spoiling the appetite for
other foods—and it improves the taste of milk.”
Karo has a high energy value —there are 120
calories per ounce in it—almost twice the energy value
of eggs and lean beef, weight for weight.
Further—Karo is easily
digested—giving children mus-
cular energy immediately.
Serve the kiddies plenty
of Karo in milk, on cereals, on
sliced bread—and watch their
weight improve.
Economy—compare Karo,
pound far pound, with the price
of other staple foods. Isn’t Karo
economical?
