Famous Feats of Archery.

In the days when the buffalo was found in vast herds on the western plains there were Indians who, while riding at a gallop, could send an ar row through a buffalo's body Re markable as this archery was, it did not equal that reached by the archers of ancient times. It is of record that the MacReas of Gairlock, Scotland, were such skilled archers that they could hit a man at the distance of 300 yards. In 1794 the Turkish am bassador at London shot an arrow in a field near that capital 415 yards against the wind. The secretary of the ambassador on hearing the ex- pressions of surprise from the Eng fish gentlemen present, said the sul- tan had shot 800 yards. This was the greatest performance of modern days, but pillar standing on plain near Constantinople recorded shots ranging up to 800 yards. Sir Robert Ainslie, British ambassador to the Sublime Porte, recorded that in 1798 he was present when the sultan shot an arrow 972 yards.-Washingto Star.

PELLAGRA CURE
 SAVES HER LIFE

Oakville, Tenn.-Mrs. l.. B. Babb, of this place, writes: Three months and a half ago when I wrote you, I didn't think 1 would live to see Christmas again, but now it is Christmas and I am enjoying it fine. I cannot praise Baughn's Pellagra Remedy enough. I believe I could eat most anything there is to eat now. My weight was Sl when I started your treat ment. I now weigh 9S pounds, about my average weight for fifteen years past. Baughn's Pellagra Remedy will do what it claims to do if the patient will follow di- rections as I have done'
 There is no longer any doubt that pel- lagra can be cured. Don't delay until 1t is too late. It is your duty to consult the resourceful Baughn.
 The symptoms-hands red like sunburn, skin peeling off, sore mouth, the lips, throat and tongue a flaming red, with much mucus and choking, indigestion and nausea, either diarrhoea or constipation.
 There is hope; get Baughn's big Free book on Pellagra and learn about the remedy for Pellagra that has at last been found. Address American Compromising Co.,, box POST, Jasper, Ala, remembering money is refunded in any case where the remedy fails to cure.-Adv.

Light More Beneficial Than Heat.

When rays of light fall upon the skin of our bodies, which is translu- cent, the greater part of them are ar- rested some by one layer of the skin, some by another and still others are not stopped until they have penetrated the subcutaneous tissues. This arrest of the light rays produces radiant heat, which has a higher penetrating power than convection heat as gene rated by hot water bag or poultice for instance.
 B. c. Titus in an address before the Illuminating Engineering society, said that such heat penetrated two inches or more, while convection heat was ex- cited principally on the surface.
 This is why electric light baths and sun baths are so stimulating to the or gans of elimination, especially the skin and kidneys, and so beneficial in so many diseases.

DRIVER WAS BUSINESS MAN l
Saw More Profit In HauIina Stranded AutomobiIlst Than in Selling Him
 Gasoline.

Mack Sennett was going to the San Diego fair in his car. About three o'clock in the morning, and twenty miles from nowhere, Mack found that nls supply of gasoline had given out
 There was nothing to do but sit by the side of the road and wait for some thing to come along, which Mack pro- ceeded to do. He had waited but a lew minutes when he heard the sound or wheels on the road and soon a wagon was distinguishable in the dark.
 There's ten spot in it if you haul me to town" hailed Mack.
 The driver readily consented and Mack settled down for a three-hour ride. They were drawing into little burg when Mack remarked that it was rather early for the driver to be on the road.
 "Yes,' he replied, but I have to start early to get around to all my customers"
 And as Mack handed him the ten spot for his work, the man continued: You see, l peddle gasoline to the stores in the small towns around here. e."-Photoplay Magazine.

CLEAR-HEADED. Head Bookkeeper Must Be Reliable.

The chief bookkeeper in large business house in one of our great Western cities speaks of the harm coffee and tea did for him:
 My wife and I drank our first cup of Postum a little over two years ago, and we have used it ever since to the entire exclusion of tea and coffee. It happened in this way:
 T had an attack of pneumonia, which left me with dyspepsia, or neu- ralgia of the stomach My cup of cheer had always been coffee or tea. but l became convinced, after time, that they aggravated my stomach trouble. I happened to mention the matter to my grocer one day and he suggested that I give Postum trial. Next day it came, and we liked it so much that we will never change back; for I am a we'll man today and have used no medicine.
 My work as chief bookkeeper in our Co.'S branch, house here is of a very confining nature. During my cof- fee drinking days I was subject to AOA VOuoucSS duQ tue pluoS III dQul- tion to my sick spells. These have left me since I began using Postum and can conscientiously recommend 1t to those whose work confines them to long hours of severe mental exer- tion."
 Name given by Postum Co.,, Battle Greek, Mich. Read "The Road to Melville" in pkgs.
 Postum comes in two forms:
 Postum CereaI-the original form must be we'll boiled. 15c and 25c pack ages.

GERMANS FINAL
 DECISION WITHHELD
WAITING REPLY FROM NOTE HERR voN JAGoW DELIVERED
 TO AMBASSADOR GERARD.
WILL PAY FOR NEUTRAL SHIPS
Makes No Promise to End Submarine War While England Tries to
 Starve Out Germany.

Berlin.-Germany withholds it's hnaI decision on the demands ad- vanced by the United States govern ment in connection with the sinking Of the Lusitania, until the receipt of an answer from the United States to the note which Herr von Jagow, the foreign minister, has delivered to Am bassador Gerard in reply to the Amer ican note received by the German government on May 15.
 In it's reply the German govern ment declares that it is not it's inten- t1on to submit neutral ships in the war zone, which are guilty of no hos tile acts, to attacks by submarines or aeroplanes; that it is Investigating the circumstances in connection with the attacks on the American steamers Gushing and Gulfiight, and that in all cases where neutral vessels, through no fault of their own, have been dam aged, Germany will pay indemnifca- tion.
 The reply urges that in the case of the Lusitania, which Germany al ieges was armed and carried large stores of war munitions, it was "act ing in justified self-defense in seek ing with all the means of warfare at It's disposition to protect the lives of its soldiers by destroying ammuni tion intended for the enemy"
 The German government recalls the proposals submitted by the United States government to Berlin and London, designed to end the subma rine warfare and the shutting out of food supplies from Germany, which it declares failed of their purpose, be cause of the refusal of the British government to agree to them.
