RIDCEWAY SAYS
RESULTS REALLY
SURPRISED HIM
Prominent Washington Man
Suffered Long Time from
Catarrh. Now Praises
"Dreco."

The problem of combating the modern
sCourge Of the present day-Catarrh.
and its attendant ills. liver and kidney
troubles and rheumatism, has been
solved by the new herbal system tonic
DreCo, remedy that not only cradi-
Gates the disease but also builds up the
whole system. purtfies the blood and
makes one realize that life is worth
living.
As the days pass by moro and moro
people are coming to realize the truth
OF this statement, which Is proven by
the signed statements Of well known To-
cal people. Recently Mr.. T. J. Ridge
way. of @n3 Eleventh street northeast
who is well known in that locality. and
who has long been a sufferer from Ca
tarrh made the following statement to
the Dreco Man: Il have been sufferer
from Catarrh for a long time There
seemed to be constant dripping into
my throat from the back OF my nose
that kept mo constantly trying to clear
my throat. Epon rising in the morning
my nose and head were stopped up and
it would take some time. to. get them
cleared. Nv breath most OF the time
was foul. knowing of the benefits peO-
pie were receiving from taking DrcCO.
| decided to try 1t. At the end OF my
first bottle felt that my troubles were
much improved. as on rising I wasn't
stopped up bad and the dripping was
much less. / am now on my second
bottle and intend keeping up tho treat
mcnt. as | believe eventually ] will get
a complete cure" Now statement like
that from man right here in our midst
should certainly convince every ono
that Dreco will DO lust what we claim
for ii. 1t Is a purely vegetable tonic
made from roots. herbs. bRrks and ber-
rics Of many medicinal plants. II is
Natures own remedy and works Won
dcrs. II gives almost immediate benefit
and leads to permanent relief in praC-
tically every case where people suffer
as above outlined.
The Dreco Man Is at O'Dornclrs. ao4
+ street store. where he Is daily meeting
the people and demonstrating the value
of this grea; medicine. Price. 500 a
bottle. Mail orders also filled. ADV

GOLD CARGO TAKEN
BY GERMAN RAIDER
Quarter Million in Bullion Cap
tured With Appam, London
Reports.

LONDON. Feb. "A quarter of
million dollars worth of bullion, in adj
dition TO other valuable cargo. was
captured by the German commerce
raiders who seized the British liner
Appam. the Evening News reported
this afternoon.
The bullion was being brought TO
England from Africa. The exact val
ue of the rest of the AppamS cargo
is not known, but it probably will
mount into thousands of dollars.
Reports that the German armed ship
Moewe is continuing her operations
along tho African coast, caused some
apprehension in shipping circles to-
day, but insurance men have not
considered the menace serious enough
to increase the rates on African ship
ping. There Is every confidence that
British warships will soon hunt down
and destroy the German ship. 1t is
believed here that the Moewe was
provisioned and coaled from some
obscure Spanish port.
News OF the Appams arrival at Nor
folk brought Joy to the relatives of
lost. Many wives of British officials
aboard the liner today DOTTED the
mourning they put on last week.
Amazed bv the news Of the Appam's
CAPTURE. the London newspapers today
expressed frank admiration for the dar-
Ing exploit of the German sailors, list
ing their feat above the deeds OF the
crew Of the German cruiser Emden.
Even in the realms of fiction there
are few more surprising stories Of The
sea-" said the Daily Chronicle. That
such a feat should be possible after
eighteen months OF the war almost baf-
files imagination.
"One OF the most dramatic and re-
markable incidents Of the war;" said
the Daily Telegraph.
The news will cause nstonishment to
millions" added the Daily Graphic.
The Chronicle compared the activities
Of the German ship to those Of the
United States cruiser Alabama in tho
civil war.
"A problem to be solved is where this
new German auxiliary cruiser came
from and where she got her armament"
said the Chronicle. The chasing Of
her down will be an easv matter. Pos
sbly it will be found that she was
equipped in Turkish or BULGARIAN port
and escaped from the Mediterranean,
flying a neutral flag"
All the papers discuss at length the
probable course OF the United States
and agree that Washington has been
put in an embarrassing position by thc
arrival of the Appam.
The papers take II for granted that
the British passengers will be released
They speculate on the possibility that
the Appam will be interned and inquire
what attitude Washington will take as
to her ownership.

Commissioner Brownlow, in

The Commissioners feel that

them they are willing to

WHITE STRIPED KITTY"

Distortion Of meaning and ridicule
are generally recognized as the last
line Of defense In q clash Of argu-
ments. Isolated extracts OF q speech
or an article. amplified with insin-
uations Of meanings which were
never expressed form one OF the
weakest rebuttals that could claim
the dignity of that title. The mon
partisan" stronghold OF the admin
Iistration, in the town on Bear Creek.
the Mail Tribune, has been looking
for something to say. politically, for
some time. It. with others OF the
Iblack-furred. white-striped variety.
has been hiring an eastern writer to
"analyze" Supreme Court decisions
which might sound derogatory to the
interests Of Mr.. Hughes. Yesterday
Mr.. Hughes was in Medford, In
stead Of directly attacking that
gentleman on his own declarations
the Mail Tribune looked back in Its
files OF the Courier. II it honors the
Courier to that extent. and used the
scissors on a couple Of paragraphs
from an editorial which 1t found sus-
ceptible to Its tactics. It proceeded
to turn its back and train It's small
bore artillery on the Babe In the
Woods who thought 1t was such
pretty little kitty. According to the
encyclopedia this "nauseous emit
tance" can sometimes be- smelled a
mile. It is well that the other twen-
ty-nine miles exist.
