 The fact that mule is stubborn may lessen his value to the average userbut the soldier is inclined to value this trait The mule is being rated above the horse for actual use under fire on the balEtlefi1ds of Fu- rope and is much used by the arti1- lery- An untrained horse, being ner- vous and high-strung. is likely to dash about madly under fire, but the mule stubbornIy holds his place regardless of the din.

A Habit Dyspeptics
 Should Cultivate

Physicians and specialists in the treatment of stomach troubles state that they would be called upon to treat very few eases of chronic dyspepsia. ulcerated stomach and gastritis,if only those who are subject to even slight attacks of indigestion would make a practice of taking a teaspoonful of pure bisurated magnesia in 2 little wa ter after every meal, because this would neutralize the excessive acid in the stomach, which is invariably the underlying cause of these troubles The remarka ble antacid and food cor rectfve properties of bisurated mag nesia have long been recognized by the medical profession, and the prep aration is, of course, carried by all high-cIass druggists. but to avoid con fusion with the acetates, citrates, suI- phates, and similar unsuitable forms of rnagnesia or injurious mixtures of bismuth and magnesia, readers should always ask Hindle's drug store or any druggist very distinctly for bisurated naagnesia; this is the form in use at the great military hospitals in Europe and it's wonderful efficacy has called forth the praise of many eminent phy- sicians and nurses.-Adv-

 tile force IS perceptible to the human eye. The French have found that par rots are acutely sensitive to the pres enee of aircraft. and therefore they have stationed a number of these birds on the top of the EiffeI Tower in Paris in order to warn the sentries of the approach of German Taubes. Be fore the craft is visible to the human eye. the birds bristfe with excitement and then begin to screecha Their acuteness is due not to their eyesight, as one might suppose, but an un- usual acuteness of hearing which en- ables them thus to give, a valuable warning.

CURE FOR THE DYsENTERY.
1From the True American.)
 Trenton, July 18th, 1915.

sNFrOIn the True American
 Trenton, July 18th, 1915. . MT. IWilson-You may possibly con fer a great favor upon many of your readers by inserting the following RECIPE in your paper, for the cure of dysentery. I am aware that nos ally and often justly dfsregarded; and it is not improbable that this may meet with the same fate. But those who, through self-conceit, or profes- sinonal vanity, neglect to hear the testimony of innumera bIe facts, will probably find the disciple of disease to be saIutary. It were to be desired, however. that children may not suffer by the obstinate prejudices of parents and masters.
 RECIPE.
 Take ounce of Rhubarb, 1rachms of English Saffron, 2 or 1 and 1-2 drachms of Cardimeenseed, according to the strength, large Nutmeg.
 Bruise them all together. and put them in a bottle containing one pint of good French brandy-put the bot tie in g. pot of cold water-Hang the pot over 8 moderate fire and suffer the water to become and regularly to continue quite hot; but not to boil after remaining in this situation about #12 hours, it will be fit for use-During this process cork must be set loosely in the bottle--A black glass bottle is best, as it is less laible to break by heat or fermentation.
 The best time to take it is in the evening just before going to bed. The auantity of doses cannot be given pre- cise1ys but must very according to the constitution of habit Of the pa tient. The following doses, will, how ever. be found generally proper. About one tea-spoonfu1 may be given to a child from one to three years old.
 About two tea-spoonfuls may be given to a child from three to six lyears old.
 About three tea-spoonfuls for cEi1- dren from 6 to 12 years old. l About a tab1e-spoo for grown persons.
 This medicine was first prescribed ] by: an aged and respectable physician of Philadelphia with great success 1 One pint of it lately arrested the fatal l progress of the dysentery among the soldiers stationed at the, Lazaretto, near the city, and although 1t has been known in Trenton but about two l or three weeks, there have been sew eraI very happy instances of success. It is unnecessary to relate particu- lars.

SULTAN or JoLo.

Few know that a man who is an acknowledged subject Of the United States government has the power
 theoretic ica11y=of declaring a war which would involve Great Britain in a great Asiastic struggle, yet such is the case. The Sultan of Jo1o, who owes allegiance to Uncle Sam as a re- suit of the American conquest of the Pnilippines if he had the power which his title and rank indicate could proclaim sjehad" or holy war that would add millions of Moharn- medan Malays to the foes of the Al lies However. the Sultan has wise 1y refrained from declaring such a conflict. and even if he should do so, he would probably be unable to rally more than a few hundred men to his standard. Yet in the tables of pre- cedence at Mecca the Mohammedan ruler who ranks next to the Sultan among the followers of the Prophet is this same Sultan Of Jolo. Theor- etically he is the chieftain and aneint- sed leader of the Moslen Malays of Java, Sunatra, Siam, J Johore, Malac- ca, Penang, Singapore, Borneo and
 many other islands. and when he made his pilgrimage to Mecca this rank was renewed and given the sanction of tfe spiritual heads of the Mohanme- dan religion. The piratical ancestors of the Sultan, with sword and flame. spread the faith Of Mohammed throughout Malaysia, and gained for themselves a standing among the po- tentates of Islam second only to that of the Turkish ruler The conquest of the Nforos of the Philippines by Uncle Sam reduced the Sultan to Q position in which the present. thrice honored'' ruler has less power than a corner policeman The German hope of a ..holy war that would make it necessary for Great Britain to send large forces to the Far East was thus in some measure forestal1ed by the United States.

Booth, a. three year-o1d bull in the herd, taking dislike to the appearance of the mare, ran wildly at her, p1unging his horns into her abdomen, throwing mare and boy to one side of the road. The mare truding from the wound. ran q few steps ahd fell dead. The boy as might be supposed, was considerably alarmed, but sustained no injuries.
