Now and again you see two women
passing down the street who look like
sisters. You arc astonished to learn that

they are mother and daughter, and you
realize that woman at forty or forty
five ought to be at her finest and fairest.
Why isn't it so?
The general health of woman is so in
tiinately associated with the local health
of the essentially feminine organs that
there can be no rich cheek and round
form where there are facilitating drains,
and female weakness. Women who have
suffered from these troubles have found
prompt relief and cure in the use of DIR.

SUBMARINE ToPEDo BOAT.
She Has Practice Run AMI Makes ;
Good Showing.


Good Showing.
Greenport, n. Y. Sept 22.-The sub
marine torpedo boat made a remarkably
good showing during the practice run
today. The trials were male over the
course in Little Pecomc Bay, which
will be used for the dive tests to lie
held later. The vessel was recently over
hauled, and during the run of today
showed a considerable increase OF speed.
The new diving apparatus for operating
the steering engines worked successfully,
the boat getting under water and com
pletely out of sight in quick time. Be
side diving, running on the surface and
under water for a length of time, tor
pedo practice was INDUCED in. The
Whitehead torpedo was used, similar N
design to those used on the smaller YES
sells of the United States Navy. Srffi.
cient air was stored in the air chamber
of the torpedo to give it a radius of
action of about 500 yards. The trial
was in sending the boat over mile
course submerged, at the end of which
it came to the surface and the torpedo
was discharged from the tube,
which is about five feet below
the surface of the water. The
run under the water was made in
about ten minutes. The torpedo was
successfully discharged from the tube,
but owing to what is thought to have
been a disarrangement of some of the
mechanism the torpedo, instead Of
taking straight course took down
ward turn and the volume of muddy
water sent up showed that it struck the
bottom about fifty feet from the bow
Of the boat.
