GOOD RECORDS MADE
BY ARTILLERYMEN,
Average of 70 Per Cent. in Shooting
at Moving Targets.

<lNCEa6C "a 80 SChN AA
at Moving Targets.
In their target practice yesterday the
marksmen at Fort Screven made an
excellent showing.
The record was rs per cent. of hits
in all shots fired. All the guns of the
fort were in use and double allowances
of ammunition allowed. The record is
one which will be hard to excel by any
of the coast artillery men in the coun-
try.
The practice was made as near as
possible to conform to the conditions
that would exist in case of an attack
on the fort. Moving targets that float
ed from six and one-half to eight miles
an hour were fired at. The Pinch
rifle guns the S-inch guns, the rapid
fire guns and. the mortars were all
used.
In the case Of the mortars the
nadrksmen does not see his target at
ALL but fires after the angle and the
fort of the target has been computed
The record of three hits out of every
four shots, established under these con-
oitions, is all the more creditable.

Comes the following letter from Mr.
P. o. Hanlon, Providence. R. l.:
please forward six boxes of Tetterine
C. o. D. I think it is strange that it
is not sold here in New England, as
1t is the best cure for Eczema, ring
worm and all eruptions of the skin l
ever saw. got a box from a Gin
cinnati drummer and gave part of it
to a young lady who had tried almost
everything to remove pimples and an
eruption from her face. Two applica-
lions of Tetterine completely cured
her. 1 also know a gentleman whose
body has been covered with eczema.
Two boxes of Tetterine cured him COM
pletely, and now his skin is smooth
as a babv's."
Better try it yourself if troubled
with any form OF skin disease. An in
fallible cure and very pleasant in the
application.
Tetterine spells quick relief and per-
manent cure.
