Use BUT
SINGLE CARTRIDGE
Though with two Styles of
Guns in Field, They Have
Uniformed Ammunition.

London, Oct. 12.-The British
troops at the front use two kinds OF
rifles and w kinds of bullets, but
only one. kind of cartridge. This is
an advantage the American rny
lacked in the Spanish war. when the
marines. the regular army and the
state volunteers used rifles of differ
ent caliber, necessitating three separ-
ate kinds of ammunition.
The standard arm of the British
regulars is the short Lee-Enfield. 1t
is a short barreled rifle evolved after
the Boer war with a view to a weapon
that may be used by infantry and
cavalry alike. It's predecessor with a
longer barren is in the hands of the
territorial troops. The caliber of both
types is 1903 inch n the cartridge
is loaded with cordite. h maya
zine capacity is ten shells in clips.
Germany in 1905 adopted the point
ed bullet, which has been copied by
ali the other powers But England
nosed form. OF the two types, the
sharp messed have the advantage in
swiftness. longer range and flatter
trajectory. Its muzzle velocity is
2,440 feet a second as against the
1000 feet of the round nosed. With
the German Mau6er the initial VelOc-
ity of $500 is still obtained when the
sharp bullet is issued. but there is
still a supply of the older type of
German ammunition sent to the field.
The Mauser bullet has a diameter of
.311 and the missile is somewhat heav-
Ter than the English.
Belgium is armed with the Mauser,
but it is the earlier pattern Of 1889,
while the German is that of 1898.
The ca iber of the Belgian arm is
.3O1.
The Lebel rifle of 1886. caliber 1916,
has been used by France since 1886.
Frances pointed bullet differs from
the others in being of solid copper

POISONING CHARGE
IN KINGS DEATH
Member of Rumanian house
Reported Assassinated-
Nation in War Flame.

Home, Oct. 12.-The most eXtraor-
binary rumors are circulating as to
the circumstances of the death OF
King Charles of Romania. which was
announced officially at Bucharest at
$3.50 a. IN. Saturday. 1t Is said that
he was either poisoned or assassinat-
ed. Such reports cannot be confirm
ed, but they are not summarily dis
missed by persons well Informed as to
the critical situation in Bucharest.
There is reason to believe that last
hours of the king were intensely DIT

and Austria enraged ministers AND
subjects intent upon accepting Rus-
sia's offer of Eukewina and Transyl-
Van;a il Rumauia would join the

King Charles was a member of the
house of HohenZollern. AT the be-

cast his lot with these countries, but
such a course encountered strong OPP

HOMEOPATHY

Homeopathy stands supreme in the
treatment of chronic diseases.
How is it we never hear of the old
school physician devoting his life to
the treatment of chronic diseases
while the whole human race offers a
field for his care and investigation?
Simply because he has no conception
of the true laws of cure.
The true specialist is the homeo-
path who treats the entire Individual
in HIS innermost nature.
The surgeon has now nearly per-
fected his technique and does truly
wonderful things, but do not run
away with the idea. that amidst all
this br.illiance he has cured his pa
tient. HE HAS NOT. He has cut
off the deposits made by the disease
on h material body. He does it
we'll; but remember that. except in
the cases of accidents and in those
cases where the patient has neglected
his own condition EVERY CASE
THAT GOES TO THE SURGEON
SHOULD BE RECOGNIZED AS A
MISERABLE FAILURE ON THE
PART OF THE PHYSICIAN IF HE
HAS SEEN THE PATIENT IN TIME.
The physicians duty is to investi-
gate his chronic diseases and treat
GiiC1iis ~ lag oo aS pOSSlDlo There
should be nothing left for the surgeon
and his knife. This is his ideal.
There are fashions in surgery which
from our point of view are to be
condemned.
The orthodox treatment for such a
disease as post-nasal growths or
adenoids has long been the knife.
believe that lately there are some old
school men who consider that mild
cases might be left untouched, but the
general rule is to cut away these
growths. Ask the surgeon il they
will return n what does he say?
."Oh, they ought not. but sometimes
they do" Certainly. they sometime
do, simply because the patient has
not been treated. If the patient be
treated. these growths disappear. II

diversification idea farther, perhaps,

growing may be mentioned the fol-
lowing: Three acres Of sugar beets
for the hogs; 1900 ounce, raspberry,
peach and fig trees; 4 acres of
onions and 4 acres OF potatoes, for
the early market; 200 stalks of Kudza,
forage crop, and several acres Of
japanese cane; two and one-half
acres of garden peas for early ship
ment; three acres of melons: 1000
stalks of artichokes.
