The destruction in the Dardanelles in one day of the three major fight ing ships-the British Ocean and the Irresistible and the French BouVet- represents the greatest naval disaster to date in the present war. These three vessels represented total Of 40,155 tons of battleship construction, and if to these figures are added the Gisplacements of the French Gaulois and British Inf1exible, both of which ships were damaged and presumably compelled to return to drydocks for repairs, the total immediate loss to the allies reaches the enormous ag- gregate of 6S,665 tons of warships.

New York, March 25.-Miss Rae Tanzer, a dark eyed, vivacious girl ot twenty-two, is the center of the odd breach of promise mixup in which James W. Osborne, former assistant district attorney, figures. Miss Tam ger, in her papers filed in the $50,00o breach of promise suit against MT. Osborne claims he struck up an ac- quaintance with her and represented himself as unmarried. MT. Osborne denied he had ever met the girl. Then suddenly there appeared in the case a man who said he was Oliver Osborne of Boston. He voluntarily came to New York after he had read about the case in the papers and had seen Miss Tanzer's picture to reveal that it was he who had been friendly with Miss Tanzer. Oliver Osborne said the girl had made a mistake in naming James w. Osborne, and he felt it was his duty to clear James w. Osborne's good name. This revelation was fol- lowed by Miss Tanzer's arrest on the charge of using the mails for attempt ed blackmail. She is now out on bail. Mea nwhile Oliver Osborne has disap- peared.

BILE AND BlLlUUSNtSS

Coated tongue, bitter taste in the mouth, indigestion, headache, lack of appetite, constipation and feeling of fatigue are effects of excessive secretion of bile.
 This condition is called biliousness and points directly to the need of something to regulate the liver. For this purpose Pinklets, the new laxative, are greatly superior to old-fashioned liver medicines which over-stimulate the liver and, when their use is stopped, leave it more torpid han before. Pinklets are tiny, sugar. coated granules that do not upset the stomach or cause gripping.
