RHEUMATISM PRESCRIPTION

The increased use of "Toris" for
rheumatism is causing considerable
discussion among the medical frater
nifty. 1t is an almost infallible cure
when mixed with certain other ingre-
dents and taken properly The fol-
lowing formula is effective: ITO one
half pint of good whiskey add one
ounce of Toris Compound and one
ounce of Syrup Sarsaparilla Compound.
Take in tablespoonful doses before
each meal and before retiring"
Toris compound is a product of the
laboratories of the Globe Pharma-
ceutical Co.. Chicago, but 1t as well as
the other ingredients can be had from
any good druggist.

w navy depart
w ment experts figure that the
United States navy will be the first in
rank in the world when the four new
tattleships proposed by Secretary
Eewberry have been completed.
The approximate time of the COM
pletion of these ships is the close Of
the year 1911. BY that date there
Will have been completed these four:
The Delaware and Dakota and the
Florida and Utah.
The specific points made by the ex-
perts, however, is that the four new
ships which have been suggested are
to be of 25000-tons displacement each
and will carry eight 14-inch guns.
Such squadron of battleships will
be unlike and superior to anything in
naval history, both as to displacement
and to main battery.
The astounding but absolutely true
statement is made by the navy ex-
perts that the 14-inch guns will be
effective at ten miles. 1t is also stated
by these experts that Great Britain,
after the appropriation by congress
for the four proposed battleships. will
never be able to regain its lead in
modern battleships over the United
States. England's greatest proposed
battleship. the Fondroyant. is, accord
ing to the details in the United States
naval bureau of intelligence, inferior
to the Florida or the Utah.

4 Gossip of Washington
What Is GoinR On at the
National Capital.
New Ships to Make Our Navy Lead All

The report that Great Britain was
building 1876 gun has been run down
by the naval authorities here and they
state that it is not true. 1t is also
stated that there is no foundation
whatever for the report that Germany
is building, or projecting even, five
battleships, each of which is to carry
IL 12-inch guns.
1t is admitted now that the United
States stands second on the list of
naval powers, and this is largely be-
cause the United States naval relative
power depends on modern ships
against which twenty or more of the
British so-called battleships do not
count and are not to be taken into
count, because not one OF them could
approach within five miles of any of
the United States battleships even of
the Alabama class. Above that class
in the United States are the South
Carolina. Michigan and, of course. the
American Dreadnaughts are all above
that class. In other words, the
United States has ship for ship.
built and building. better and more
powerful ships than Great Britain has
built and is building for the next
three years.
The navy department confidently
expects to see the prediction of the
experts realized in 1911 and the
United States will lead the world in
naval power. The experts declare
that when the statement is made that
Great Britain has at the present time
"a battleships against 30 of the
United States. it only means an APP
parent numerical excess and that
when the ships are compared one with
the other. there are more dead or
obsolete types and classes in the
British navy than In any other navy.

Alcohol School Opened by Government

Inasmuch as such a plant could not
be erected for less than $500 1t is
obvious that the ordinary farmer
would not be able to afford to con
struct one of the kind But-and here
Is the point-a group of farmers rep
resenting a small neighborhood might
do SO.
Then they would bring their corn
stalks and other such refuse to the
mill" and receive in return the al
cohol. 1t is a simple method which
farmers have long been accustomed to
adopt where flour and other neces-
saries were concerned.
The farmers are eager TO find a
cheap source of energy. Nowadays
multitudes of them use gasolene for
such purposes as grinding feed. cut.
ting fodder and running the corn shell.
Ter, circular saw, horse clipper and
grindstone.
A farm in these times is more or
less Of factory. But gasolene is ex
pensive. Alcohol is comparatively
cheap, and when manufactured from
the farmers own vegetable refuse it
would cost next to nothing.
In France there are $1,000 farmer
distillers who make alcohol for in
dustrial purposes from molasses and
sugar beets. 1t is high time that this
idea was turned to profitable account
in the United States. Rotten apples,
frost-bitten potatoes, stale water
melons, cornstalks and cobs and
every other kind of vegetable refuse
are available for the purpose.
