SQUARE MEAL IN A CAPSULE.
You Need Only to Take One with a
Drink of Water and You Are
Full of Soup.

The samples Of various things de-
vised for the comfort of the soldiers
and the models of implements to be
used in warfare received by the presi:
dent would, if placed on exhibition,
eclipse the sights in the National mu-
scum. The secretary Of the navy is
also deluged with all sorts of con-
pies of improved methods in cooking
and clothing. In one of the rooms of
the navy department are shown some
of these supplies" and they are more
interesting to see than the famous Ho-
tel Cluny in Paris. One man has &C.
tually "bouillon capsules" that you
swallow at one bolt, then drink some
water, and 10 and behold! your stom-
ach is full of soup. Another genius has
sent to the department specimen bot
ties of prepared castor oil, to be used
in connection with the edibles. A
benevolent old gentleman of Pennsyl-
vania sent rccipe-there are 16
pages of it-for preparing all kinds of
food for soldiers sans teeth, who have
only their gums to depend upon and
who must either swallow soup or
starve.
In the war department the same
story is told. One bright genius has
put up specially prepared packages of
paris green, and wants Secretary Al
ger to require every soldier to carry
one in his knapsack. The idea is that
all the bugs of Cuba will thus be kept
at bay-as if the troops were tomato
plants. Some of the patent medicine
men have evolved yellow pills." which
are warranted sure cure for yellow
fever. Then there are patent splints
for setting broken limbs, which almost
dispense with a doctor, and filters on
wheels. This last invention is, the work
of well-known artist, Mr.. Remington.
1t is nothing more nor less than the
ordinary bicycle wheel, carrying the
framework for {: cot, upon which the
wounded is placed and pushed to the
hospital. Another curious invention
offered the government is an appara-
tus for peering into the depths of the
ocean to hunt for cables, and keep a
sharp lookout for submerged mines
and torpedoes. The invention is called
an "aquascope."-Army and Navy

AIDED BY MRS. PINKHAM.

Mrs. W. E. PAXTON, youngstown,
North Dakota, writes about her strug-
gle to regain health after the birth of
her little girl:
"DEAR MRS. P1NKHAM:-1t is with
pleasure, that add my testimony to
your list, hoping that it may induce
others to avail themselves of your val
liable medicine.
AFTER the birth of my little girl,
three years ago, my health was very
poor. had leucorrhea badly, and a
terrible bearing-down pain which
gradually grew worse, until 1 could do
no work. Also had headache nearly
all the time, and dizzy feelings. Men,
situations were very profuse, appear
ing every two weeks.

but it seemed to do no good 1 was

Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound, and after taking two-thirds of
the bottle I felt so much better that I
send for two more. After using three
bottles I felt as strong and well as any
one.
81 think it is the best medicine for
female weakness ever advertised, and
recommend it to every lady 1 meet suf-
fering from this trouble"
Maternity is wonderful experience
and many women approach it wholly
unprepared. Childbirth under right
conditions need not terrify women.
The advice of Mrs. Pinkham is freely
offered to all expectant mothers, and
her advice is beyond question the most
valuable to be obtained. If Mrs. Pax
ton had written to Mrs. Pinkham be-
fore confinement she would have been
saved much suffering. Mrs. Pinkham's
address is Lynn, Mass.

Especial Cincinnati TO-, letter.

Especial Cincinnati (O.) letter.
The thirty-second natioal encamp-
ment Of the Grand Army of the Repub-
lie promises to be replete with inter
esting features. Four hundred Of Gin
cinnati's leading citizens have been
engaged since last win ter planning and
preparing these features.
Not the least interesting is the police
preparations. Cincinnati's police
force is recognized the country over
as having attained an unusually high
degree Of proficiency. The city's repu-
tation in that respect is not excelled
by any other city in the country. For
many years Col. Philip Deiisch, an old
soldier, has been at the head of the po-
lice force of Cincinnati. Years of
patient and earnest endeavor on his
part, encouraged by the support of a
nonpartisan police board have enabled
him to reach present results.
AS soon as it was known that the
1898 cncampment was to come to Gin
cinnati, Chief Deitsch began planning
for year hence. He recognized the

so men have been in constant training
for detectives. Cincinnati has an I'M

What my heart desired to know.
Neither could they quite conceal
What your heart babe them reveal

Yes, 1t was the month Of May:
And the lingering, purple twilight
Deepened with the ebbing day.

From beneath the moons broad beam.

Slips away.
Long ago, long ago-
Oh, how tenderly and low
Came your answer, Ginning softly
To the rivers peaceful flow.
Peace that like river glides,
Yet peace that still abides,
Has been mine since that May evening
Long ago.

Never have you looked so fair.
Why that smile? The moons not shining!
What, then, is the wilderness there?

head of the national Bertillion system.
With these two ample records of rogues'
make-ups to study, the so picked men
are to-day experienced detectives at
least in that part of the art of picking
out criminals, which is so essential at
large gathering. These so men
added to the already large pres
ent force were placed under
the direct charge of Chief of De-
tectives Larry Hazen. The force is now
we'll organized, and at least week be-
fore the encampment they will be sta
toned at all the depots, hotels and on
frequented thoroughfares to intercept
such members of the ight-fngered
gentry as may venture to Cincinnati to
ply their nefarious trade. With such a
well-organized force of detectives to
come in contact with, it is safe to say
that few of those who do yield to the
temptation to visit Cincinnati the first
week in September will remain in tho
city long after learning the exhaustive
preparations made for their capture.
The force of patrolmen will also be
greatly augmented and will include all
private watchmen of the city. These
men are also receiving special weekly
instructions to put them in readiness
fer the encampment work. It is safe
to say that at least 1000 patrolmen
and detectives will be on duty to guard
the hundreds of thousands of visitors
expected from all parts of the coun-
try.
In addition to this general police
protection arrangements have. been
made to extend special protection to
the veterans who will occupy free
quarters in the school buildings of the
city. Two special officers will be as
signed to each building, each. stand
ing watch IL hours. They will be I'M
der the supervision of an officer of the
day for each building. The usual plan
of protecting the public on the day of
the big parade by stretching wires on
both sides of the streets over which
the veterans will march will be fol-
lowed in this city. To accomplish all
this requires no little, expenditure OF
money and $4,000 has been set aside
by the city authorities for arranging
for these ccial'protective features.
From this $4,000 also will be pro-
vided an elaborate system of sanitary
regulations for public comfort. The
board Of city affairs, having in mind
the health OF. citizens and visitors
alike, will establish in all sections of
the city special places Of comfort for
men and women.

AERIAL TORPEDOES.
An English Army Officer Tells of an
Invention Very Terrible in
His Own Mind.

Lieut.. Graydon claims to have in.
vented a torpedo system which will
revolutionize naval warfare.
In an interview with representative
of the London Daily Mail recently,
Lieut.. Graydon said he had long been
convinced that, owing to the limited
range of 600 yards at which torpedo
boats can discharge torpedoes effect
lively, they would be of little value in
action. ''The fighting at Santiago and
at Manila" continued the inventor,
'proves that was right. The Spanish
naval officers were full of dash and
courage, and yet at Santiago their
boats were easily driven off before
they could get within range.
. my inventions increase the effective
range of torpedo boats to 5000 yards
or more by the employment of aerial
torpedoes charged with a high ex-
plosive. This explosive is more pow.
erful than dynamite, and by means of
my protector the destroyer will be
able to hurl steel shell containing
1,400 pounds of the explosive through
the air. How destructive such a pro-
jectile would be may be imagined when
it is remembered that on the United
States government firing ground at
Sandy Hook a turret weighing 275, 900
pounds was destroyed by three of my
shells, each charged with a few pounds
of dynamite. I am not using dynamite
now; the explosive use is more eff
fective, as well as being absolutely
safe. -.
The advantages of the aerial over
the underwater torpedo are, think,
apparent. For instance, apart from
the question of range, the latter may
be DETECTED by wave, a current, or by
seaweed, or may even turn back on the
operators. The aerial torpedo, on the
other hand, avoids these difficulties,
and is as accurate as any >rihed cam
non.
Il have received a letter from Pres
ident Mckinley" added the inventor,
sin which he informs me that he has
directed both the military and naval
departments to go into the matter
with me-"
