GREAT GUNS Of
GERMANY FAILING
So Intricate That They Re-

Paris. Oct 19.-The question has
been many times asked why the Ger

their overwhelming superiority in
artillery. after having broken the re-

were unable to maintain their posi-
tions. The military science of Gen
eral Joffre certainly furnished one
reply to that question but military
writer in the Liberte du Sud thinks
there is another in the cumbersome
character of the German heavy ar
tillery.
The famous German mortars, the
"brummers." are capable of firing a
14-inch shell as long as a man of
average height a distance of eight
miles. They were considered most
redoubtable before the war and. in
fact, they did terrible execution on the
forts of Liege and other fortified posi-
tfons, but since their entry into France
not much has been heard from them
excepting the exploits at Rheims and
at Maubeuge.
It has been discovered that this
immense fighting machine is nearly
as delicate in its mechanism as it is
formidable, 1t requires experts to
hre It, most Of the gunners being en-

is almost impossible to replace them.
Besides, it is necessary that the NOR
tars be installed in favorab Bile posi-
ton with well-laid foundations; con-
sequently when prearranged plans
are disturbed their efficiency is great
ly reduced. It requires good roads
also. and even then it takes forty
horse power to draw one of them.
consequently they do not fit in very

that depends upon its speed to win,
and rainy weather of course, is not
at all good for them. Again. their
effectiveness is neutralized when the
French "75" is able to get inside it's
long range, and It does not stand long
against the terrible hammering Of
which this gun is capable.
Finally, this expert thinks that in
case Of a forced retreat most of these
heavy mortars are likely to be found

VOTERS LEAGUE CALLS PRES.
McCORMICK'S GANG o. K, BUT
The Municipal Voters League and
other Julius Rosenwald political ma
chimes have called President McCor-
mick and his cohorts on the County
Board efficient. l
One OF Mccormick chief disciples
is Ellsworth M. Board, who was form
erly chairman of the finance commit
tee before committee of lawyers
ruled that the majority should rule.
An example of Boards highland
ed methods in running the finances
of the county was shown in the way
he tried to hand a $4,000 contract
to the United Electric Construction
Company.
The board recently advertised for
bids for electrical work at the Oak
Forest institutions. Immediately
Board and the other members of the
finance committee, who at that time
were all McCormick's trainbearers,
got busy.
At the next meeting Board gaveIed
through the appropriation to the
United Company for 5000.
The plan bid fair to work out as
Board planned, but Commissioner
BARLEY Burg, who doesn't genufect
before the Mccormick shrine, got a
bunch that something was wrong and
opened the question at the next
County Board meeting.
After hard fight Burg succeed
ed in having the United bid thrown
out and new bids were advertised for.
The contract was finally awarded to
the w. F. Cummings for $69,975, a
saving Of nearly $1,000 to the people /

DEATH OF BEAUTIFUL GIRL
PUZZLES POLICE
Baltimore, Md, June 13.-Whether
Ella G. Winter, young, good-looking
and popular, was murdered or killed

to whom she had given her entire af-
fections had tired of her may never

they are cropping in the dark.

the girl drowned herself. In the same
breath he insists that he never had
any intention" of wedding the girl.
The county authorities openly
charge the girl was murdered. They
assert that Reese has not been frank
with them; that he knows much that
might aid them in solving the mys-
terry. But up to the present no charge
of completely in the alleged crime has
been made against Reese,
He is free to go and come as he
pleases. He Indignantly denies any

Mr.. p Nauschuetz. No. POI Sharer
St, San Antonio. Texas, writes.
About year ago I was troubled
with catarrh and could hardly find
help until I took Peruna. which soon
brought me relief.
"Peruna is the best remedy for
colds I ever found. I recommend il
to any one suffering with catarrh."
The first thing 10 accomplish in the
treatment Of a cold is to eliminate
the accumulated poisons in the sys-
TEN. The excretory ducts and glands
should be stimulated. This the laxa-
tive element Of Peruna will accom-
plish.
The next thing is to raise the tone
of the nerve centers. and assist the
powers of Nature to resist the ef-
fects of the cold The tonic element
in Peruna is intended to meet this
demand. It gives the necessary tenn
porary strength to throw off the de-
preston that the cold brings.
A tonic laxative is a quick and ef-
ficient weapon to meet a cold at all
points.

WHAT IS WOMAN'S
BEAUTY BUT HEALTH
And the Basis OF Her Health and
VigOr Lies in the Careful Regu-
iatiOn Of the Bowels.

If womans beauty depended upon
cosmetics, every woman would be a
picture of loyeliness. But beauty
lies deeper than that. It lies in health.
In the majority Of cases the basis
OF health, and the cause of sickness,
can be traced to the action OF the
bowels.
The headaches, the lassiude, the
sallow skin and the lusterless eyes
are usually due TO constipation. SO
many things that women do habitu-
ally conduce to this trouble. They
do not eat carefully, they eat indi-
gestible foods because the foods are
served daintily and they do not exer-
else enough. But whatever the par
ticular cause may be IL is important
that the condition should be cor
rected.
An ideal remedy for women, and
enc especially suited to their delicate
requirements, Is Or. Caldwells Syrup
Pepsin, which thousands of women
endorse highly among them Mrs. c.
S. Vance of 511 S. Ray St. New Cas-
tie, Pa. At times she had spells
of indigestion so severe that she
thought she would die. Syrup Pep
sin regulated her stomach and
bowels, and she attributes her excel
lent health today to this remedy.
All the family can use Or. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin, for thousands Of
mothers give IL 10 babies and chill
dren. II is also admirably suited to
the requirements OF elderly people,
in fact TO all who by reason OF age or
iniirmity cannot stand harsh salts,
