NEW o. s. ARMY RIFLE
MOST POWERFUL IN WORLD

Gen. Crozier, the chief of ordnance,
has decided to secure the views of the
infantry and cavalry boards of the
army before finally adopting the pro-
posed new rifle, which has much
shorter barrel than that now in use,
and which, it is thought, can take the
place of the cavalry carbine and still
be serviceable to the infantry. He
has now referred the entire subject
to the infantry board at Fort Leaven-
worth and the cavalry board at Fort
Riley. A number of new rifles were
exhibited at the convention of the
National Guard in Columbus, Ohio,
and met with the approval of the vol
unteer officers.
The new gun is remarkable
weapon, according to the ordnance
officers; for while it is four inches
shorter than the Krag and only two
inches longer than the carbine, it is
more powerful than either. with a
higher initial velocity and fiatter ira
iectory. 1t can easily penetrate "a
inches of pine planks. 1t is a pound
lighter than the service rifle, which
is a consideration in the tropics.
A new feature is complete encase-
ment of the barrel in wood to pre-
vent burning the hands of the marks
men when the gun is rapidly discharg-
ted States army officers, and is not
patented. 1t is asserted to be the
most powerful musket in the world.

Treat Catarrh in Spring.

The spring is the time to treat catarrh.
Cold, wet winter weather often retards
a cure of catarrh. If a course of Peruna

There can be no failures if Peruna is
taken intelligently during the favorable
weather of spring.
As q systemic catarrh remedy Peruna
eradicates catarrh from the system
wherever it may be located. 1t cures
catarrh of the stomach or bowels with
the same certainty as catarrh of the head.

his "ThsnatOpsis" at the age OF eigh-
