A Non-poisonous
Antiseptic for You

If you suffer cut or scratch upon
your hand or body, the utmost care
should be exercised that disease germs
do not enter the flesh and cause con.
tagion. The best thing to do is to i'm
mediately use Tyree's Powder, pow
erful antiseptic and germicide, but an
absolutely harmless preparation. It
contains no bichloride or other poisons,
and should be used whenever an anti
septic is needed.
The uses for which Tyree's Powder
are beneficial cover q wide range. It
can be applied dry or diluted with
water. Unexcelled as douche and un-
surpassed in the prevention and de-
struction of all infectious or contagious
diseases. A twenty-five cent package
makes two gallons standard antiseptic
solution. Recommended by physicians
and sold by druggists everywhere.

ITALIANS CAPTURE
LAST COAST TOWN
HELD BY TURKS
Feared the Losses to Both
Sides Have Been
Heavy.

ROME. Aug. 6.--After terrific land
and sea attack, the Italians today cap
tured Zuara, the last Tripolitan coast
town retained by the Turks, according
to official announcement here.
Few details Of the engagement are
known yet. but II Is feared the losses
were heavy. The town was supply
station for the Turks inland forces,
and It was Of the utmost Importance to
them to hold II. It was strongly forti-
fed and defended by a large and we'll
trained force. 1t is unlikely that the
italian sailors, bombarding the Turks
from the Mediterranean. suffered seri-
ously. but the troops ashore can only
have overcome Turkish resistance by
rushing the breastworks, which must
have been attended by much bloodsh ed.
With their last outlet to the sea .ut
of, It il believed here that the Tu rks
and Arabs inland can speedily be
starved into surrender. Some supplies
may be smuggled to them through
British territory. but not enough to
seriously prolong the struggle.
Originally Zuara's inhabitants num-
bered 10000. but It has been largely de-
populated since the war broke out.
