Firing Through Snow.

Owing to the tremendous snowfall
this winter the German army has been
able to make a number of curious ex-
periments. The new small caliber gun
was tried against mounds of snow.
Behind mounds fifteen feet in diam
eter and six feet high wooden figures
were placed. Against these targets
the infantry fired and the new bullets
went right through, hitting the targets
without losing any of their power.
The figures were riddllesd, only the
wooden frames remainMs9

RHEUMATISM RECIPE
PREPARE SIMPLE HOMEMADE
MIXTURE YOURSELF.
Buy the Ingredients from Any Drug.
sst In Your Town and Shake
Them In a Bottle to
Mix This.

A well-known authority on Rheu.
matism gives the readers Of large
New York daily paper the following
valuable. yet simple and harmless
prescription. which any one can easily
prepare at home:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one.half
ounce; compound Kargon, one ounce; ;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces.
Mix by shaking well in bottle, and
take teaspoonful after each meal
and at bedtime.
He states that the ingredients can
be obtained from any good prescrip-
ton pharmacy at small cost, and, be-
ing vegetable extraction, are harm
less to take.
This pleasant mixture, II taken reg
ularly for few days. is said to over.
come almost any case of Rheumatism.
The pain and swelling, II any, dimin-
ishes with each dose. until permanent
results are obtained. and without in
juring the stomach. While there are
many so-called Rheumatism remedies,
patent medicines, etc, some of which
do give relief. few really give perma-
nent results, and the above will. no
doubt, be greatly appreciated by many
sufferers here at this time.
Inquiry at the drug stores OF even
the small towns elicits the information
that these drugs are harmless and can
be bought separately, or the druggists
