AdvantaQe of SiIencer.

This crash of the bullet makes the value of the Maxim silencer very little, so far as military efficiency is con cerned, in the way that the fiction writer imagines the silencer to be use full but not to prevent the enemy from discovering the position of the men firing as many fancy.
 Its value lies in the fact that it eliminates fully half of the recoil of the rifle from the action of the gases in it's chambers, and it gives the off, cers much better control over the fire, because of the lessened noise of the rifles. It cuts down the roar of the Springfield to about the noise of the .25-20 and thus the roar of the rifles at the firing line is much reduced, and the commands of the officers can be heard-Outing.

Mistaken Diagnosis Doctors
 Guess Wrong Again

About five years ago I wrote to you that l had been terrible sufferer from kidney and bladder troubles, and that my phy- sician informed me that my left kidney was in such condition that there was no hope for my recovery. I was advised to try your Swamp-Root as last resort, and after taking four ffty-cent size bottles, I passed gravel stone which weighed ten grains. l afterwards forwarded you this gravel stone. Have had no return of any trouble since that time and cannot say too much in favor of your wonderful pre- paration, Swamp Root, which cures, af- ter physicians fail.

 AND INDIGESTION
"Pape's Diapepsin" settles sour gassy stomachs in Five
 minutes-Time It!

You don't want slow remedy when your stomach is bad-or an uncertain one-or a harmful one-your stomach is too valuable; you mustn't injure it.
 Pape's Diapepsin is noted for it's speed in giving relief; it's harmless ness; it's certain unfailing action in regulating sick, sour, gassy stomachs. Its millions of cures in indigestion, dyspepsia, gastritis and other stomach troubles has made it famous the world over
 Keep this perfect stomach doctor in your home-keep it handy-get large fifty-cent case from any dealer and then if anyone should eat something which doesn't agree with them; if what they eat lays like lead, ferments and sours and forms gas; causes head ache, dizziness and nausea; eructa- tions of acid and undigested food remember as soon as Pape's Diapepsin comes in contact with the stomach all such distress vanishes. Its prompt ness, certainty and ease in overcoming the worst stomach disorders is reve- lation to those who try it.-Adv.

GERMANY WOULD
 HURT J. 5. TRADE GERMAN AMBASSADOR TELLS BRYAN AMERICA MAY LOOK FOR DAMAGING REPRlSAL. WiLHELMlNA CASE CITED Says United States Should Resist Eng. lands Effort to Hold Supplies
 From Civilians.
WILHELMINA CASE CITED

Washington.-Count von Bernstorff, the German ambassador, acting under instructions from the Berlin Foreign Office, called upon Secretary Bryan and delivered warning to the United States that if the British government does not permit the Wnhelmina with her cargo of foodstuff to go through to Germany, the German authorities will take steps in retaliation that may in directly prove dangerous to American shipping.
 Ambassador Bernstorff urged upon Secretary Bryan firmly and insistently that the United States does not acqui- esce in any action by Great Britain designed to starve out the civil popu- lation of Germany.
 With Germanys agreement that the cargo of the Wilhelmina should be dis tributed under American supervision, Aa1bassador Bernstorff said there would be no question of Germany's good faith, which he did not think Great Britain should question. But if Great Britain should persist in the de- termination to take the Wilhelmina and its cargo into port and if the deci- sion of the prize court should be un- favorable, then Germany would be forced to reprisal.
 Any reprisal she might take to pre- vent the starvation of her civil popu- lation, the ambassador thought, would be fully justified.
 The ambassador made it clear that unless the United States did uphold the right of Germany to have the cargo distributed to her civil popula- tion under the guarantee given, the United States would make herself re- sponsible to an extent for such conse- quences as might ensue through the acts of German reprisal
