WONDERFUL POWER
OF RECENT INVENTION
Dunnite, the Most Powerful Explosive Known,
Against Which All Armour Plate Crumbles
Like an Egg She'll

Major Dunn, when seen at the prov
ing grounds at Sandy Hook yesterday
refused to discuss the outcome OF the
trial. saving it was government sec.
ret at the present time, although the
trials TO come, which would cover a
period of time, would no doubt be
conducted more openly.
"As to the explosive that bears ny
name," said Major Dunn, II believe i
is the opinion of the ordnance depart
ment that they have a destructive
material that is the best in the world.
Its composition is known only to this
government. 1t is not the highest ex-
plosive--not by any means--but 1t Is
the highest explosive SO far invented
that, contained within the chamber OF
an armor piercing shell, will contain
itself until after the shell has passed
through the armor Then its de-
structive work, actuated by primer,
takes place.

cts effect has been accurately de-
scribed since the tests in 1901. when
the Gathmann gun failed signally with

an armor plate representing the tur-
ret of the battleship Iowa. At the
same time the ordnance department

fense rife The proiectile was in real

and the backing behind it wrecked"
When Major Dunn was asked con-
cerning the wonderful shimose powder
used by the Japanese in their projec'
tiles, the explosive expert said that as
far as he knew the powder was simply
picric acid, high explosive, the prop
critics of which were well known. A
shell could not be loaded with picriC
acid and fred through an armor plate
without an explosion upon impact. he
said.
"The advantage Of an armor-pierc
ing shell over the ordinary bursting
shell can be readily understood by
layman.' he continued. ITO infiict The

He understands the position and fully
realized before the war that
an aggressive policy was being pushed
under the lead of v.ceroy Alexieff.
At one time Witte talked over the SIT.
uation with Marquis Ito, president Of
the japanese privy council and one Of
the leading statesmen of Japan. Prac-
tically it was Whites disapproval Of
Rssia's Far Eastern policy and of war
in the Far East which caused the
downfall Of Witte.

Muraviff Declines.
Paris, July 13--The ST. Petersburg
correspondent Of the Echo de Paris,
states that the declination OF Nj.
Muraviff to head the Russian peace
mission was based partly on the state
of his health and partly on the fact
that his allowance Of expense to cover
the time of his soiourn In America
was only $4,000 roubles, which amount
he considered insufficient owing TO
the great cost of living in the United
States. Witte twice refused to be-
come the successor Of Muravitf on the
mission on the ground that he did not
wish to be mere figurehead in the
transmission to Emperor Nicholas or
the peace terms offered by Japan. His
selection therefore is taken to mean
that the emperor has yielded to his
insistance that the powers of the
plenipotentiaIy be confirmed upon
Russia's principal representative on
the peace mission.

LET YOUR STOMACH
HAVE ITS OWN WAY
do Not Try TO Drive and Force II To
Work When II Is Not Able or
You VIII Suffer All the
More.

You cannot treat your stomach as
some men treat balky horse; force.
drive or even starve II into doing
work at which 1t rebels. The stomach
is a patient and faithful servant and
will stand much abuse and Ill treat
ment before 1t "balks," but when it
does Yea had better go slow With It
and not attempt to make IL work
Some people have the mistaken idea
that they can make their stomachs
work by starving themselves. They
might cure the stomach that way, but
1t would take so long that they would
have no use for q stomach when they
got through The sensible way out of
the difficulty is to let the stomach
rest If IT wants to and employ sub
situte to do its work
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will do
the work of your stomach for you and
digest your food just as your stonl-
ach used to when it was well. You
can prove this by putting your food
in "A glass Jar with one of the tablets
and sufficient water and you will see
the food dgested in just the same
time as the digestive fluids of the sto-
mach would do it. That will satisfy
your mind. Now. to satisfy both your
mind and body take one of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets after eating--eat
all and what you want--and you will
feel in your mind that your food is
being digested because you will feel
no disturbance or weight in your sto-
mach, in fact. you will forget all
about having a stomach, just as you
did when you were healthy boy or
girl.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets act in
natural way because they contain on
ly the natural elements of the gas
trio juices and other digestive fluids
of the stomach. 1t makes no differ
ence wh% condition the stomach is

accord and do their work. They know
their business@and uriounding con-
ditions do not influence them In the
least. They thus relieve the weak sto-
mach of all its burdens and give 1t its
much needed rest and permit 1t to
become strong and healthy
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are for
sale by all druggists at so cents
box. They are so we'll known and
their popularity us SO great that
druggist would as soon think of be-
ing out of alcohol or qulnine. In fact.
physicians are prescribing them all
over the land and If your own doctor
is real honest with you. he will tell
you frankly that there is nothing on
earth so good for dyspepsia as Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets.

Discussed Alleged Violations Of
Health Laws.
Danger of Scarlet Fever Spreading
Said to BE Increased by Action
of Some Doctors.
ALL DOCTORS TO BE WARNED

A special meeting of the board of
health called at the instance of
Health officer w. T. Graves, was held
yesterday afternoon in the office of
Mayor ID. A. Yeiser. The health Off
Ger advised the board that the rules
of the quarantine in scarlet fever
were being violated by several ply
sicians and asked that some strin-
gent action be taken.
He stated that he had learned that
in families where there had been
scarlet fever the attending physician
had given the other children health
certificates and allowed them to go
to school just the same as If therewas
no contagious disease in the family,
and that the disease could never h
stopped as long as such action was
permitted. Aloo a victim of scarlet
fever was given certificate to re-
turn to school after recovering, he
said, when the patients should not
be allowed to go back for several
weeks after they get well.
The matter was discussed at
length by the members of the board,
who finally decided to send every
physician in Paducah letter calling
his attention to what had been done
contrary to the law and also quot
ing the law showing the penalty for
a violation. The fine for a violation
Is $500 and the board thought it
would be best to notify all the doc
tors instead of taking out warrants.
Hereafter the law will be enforced.
A committee was appointed to
meet the school board and request
that body to at once connect the Lee
and Lincoln school buildings with
the sewerage system. The Lee school
is located at Fourth and Ohio streets,
and the Lincoln, which is the colored
school. at Eighth and Ohio streets.

Berlin, Nov. 24.-During the late
war in Manchuria the Russians were
often so hard pressed as to be oblig-
ed frequently to dispose of their dead
and wounded in great haste. One
wounded warrior told an interviewer,
says a correspondent of the Hanover
Courier, an almost incredible story.
II appears that the practice was to
give the dead and MORALLY wounded
black mark, and the slightly woun-
ded a red one. Bodies with black
