The Strong Points Tn a Fort.

fortresses comparable in length and
ferceness with those at Port Arthur.
And il was natural to suppose from
the way the little Japs started in that
the moment a swarm of them landed
In the ditch Of Russian stronghold
the game was theirs
But it is long way from the ditch
of Port Arthur fort to the heart of
the citadel. as shown by detailed de-
scription in the Manchester Guardian
of the strong places General Nogfs
troops have encountered. From this
careful study the reader learns that
the long slope reaching up to the crown
of the elevation over which assailants
must march is the glaciers. If shot
and shell spare them in this march
they must face musketry fire from de-
tenders on the banQuette. sunken

If the assailants are likely to over

tunnel, passing unharmed to the in
terror works of the fort Through this
covered way help may come from the
Interior to The men on the banGuette,
or after the banquette has been surren-
dered to the assaiants the garrison
may make sortieS through the covered
way and dslodge them if they can.
But if the assailants cross the BAN
Quette and control the covered way the
ditch is theirs-that is to say, it is then
under their guns-and the defenders
cannot live there.
The side of the ditch nearest the
glaciS and banquette is the counter

fifteen to twenty feet high The ditch
is sixty to 100 feet wide. according to

to eighty feet. The capOnnieres must

ditch to climb the escarp, a secondary

of the escarp is crowned by the parapet
or rampant of the fort proper, from
which the defenders have a clear range
over the escarp, ditch, counterscarp and
glacis. From the base of the first
glacis to the parapet the distance may
be 800 to 500 feet. Although the gla-

BERRY PRESERVES
Enough Lost BY Growers
This Year to Have Erect
ed Large Plants.

State Biologist Gerald Mccarthy has
received great many enquiries from
strawberry growers and others inter-
esUed in the truck section. relative
to the strawberry preserving indus
try. Many believe canning to be the
only way in which they may save ber-
ries which are ripening too rapidly
to place on the market, owing to the
congestion of freights and the impos-
sibiity of securing refrigerator cars
The biologist is enthusiastic in his
idea, and believes preserving plants
should be established in every berry
growing county In speaking of the
matter yesterday, he said:
THE present ruinOus glut of straw
ebrries in the eastern counties proves
again how very unwise it is for fruit
growers to place themselves wholly at
the mercy of transportation compdn-
les Enough will be lost this year on
the strawberry crop alone TO nave
erected large and complete canning
and preserving plants in every county
where this fruit is largely grown.
Many demands for information are
now coming in from fruit growers as
to how they may utilize the fruit they
can neither ship nor use in the fresh
state.
1T is too late to erect canning fac
tories for the present crop, but most
of the growers and their neighbors
can easily arrange to preserve fruit
for future use at home or to be sold
i'm stores"
Mr.. Mccarthy has prepared several
standard recipes for working up
strawberries, and these may be OBJ
tanned from him upon application.
Among them are recipes for canned
strawberries, berry preserves berry
svru0 and berry shrub.

NO PERSON.
Would Make Such a Proposition to
the People OF Raleigh, as Has
The ". III. King Drug 90.

Did you ever know or hear of a
person who would offer to return
every cent you paid him if he could
not build up and create strength and
vitality for old people, weak, sickly
women and children and the conval-
escent; create an appetite, cure
stomach troubles; make those who
are too thin fat, rosy and healthy. Or
cure hacking coughs, chronic colds,
throat and bronchial troubles?
This is exactly the offer The w. H.
King Drug 90. make to every person
in Raleigh
The w. Fl. King Drug Co. say Vinol
is simply the most valuable and deli
cious preparation of cod liver oil
known to medicine. 1t is the greatest
known strength creator and health re-
storer 1t makes the blood rich and
pure It tones up the tired weakened
digestive organs. 1t strengthens every
organ in the body to do its work as
nature intended and wherever it fails
they will give back the money paid
them for it,
Thousands of unsolicited testimonial
letters, which is the best proof of
merit any medicine can have, prove
its value. We advise every sick and
ailing person in Raleigh to try Vinol
on The w. II. King Drug COmpany's
guarantee to return money if it fails.
Remember you get it at the store of
