Suddenly he heard shouts from

to slow down. He heard a revolver
shot, another shout; the train stop

the metals, as if the brakes had been
jammed down hard. The engine

RHEUMATISM
Physician Believes Genuine Rem
edy for the Disease Has
Been Found.

Rheuma, the wonderful rheumatism
remedy sold by Wilfred +. Root and
all druggists, gives quicker and more
lasting relief than other remedies cost
ing many times as much.
Rheuma passes the deadly poisonous
secretions into the bowels and kidneys,
from which they are quickly thrown
off in a natural, healthy way.
Read what reputable physician
says about Rheuma: 81 have made a
most careful investigation of the for
mula employed in the manufacture of
Rheuma, and | heartily recon mend it
as a remedy for all forms of rheuma-
tism. / find Rheuma far i'll advance
of the methods generally employed in
the treatment of rheumatism, and alto
gether different in composition from
the remedies usually prescribed. " =
DIR. Lyons.
This should give any sufferer from
rheumatism confidence to try Rheuma

MODERN GUNFIRE IS CuSTLy
Greater Part of Immense Sum Euro.
pean War Is Costing Is Being
Thrown Away by Artillery.

This Is war of artillery. Shells
and shrapnel are being used on a scale
far in excess of the calculations of the
most far-seeing military experts of
Europe
To fire single shot from our biggest
guns cost $1,000, and some idea of the
expenditure of naval firing can be
gathered from the fact that one ia
nous battleship could use up roughly
100000 worth of ammunition per
minute if she worked all of her guns
at full blast, as she would do if neces-
sary. And to this huge outlay must
be added the cost of the gun, renem-
bering that the largest weapon has q
very short life, and is soon wcrn out.
The most expensive gun we use is a
15-inch, though other big guns run I'D
heavy ammunition bills For instance.
1915 yanishes in flame and smoke
every time a 1875 weapsn is fred.
The guns which eXpend 5000 worth
of ammunition every time they fire
are really wonderful pieces of artil-
lery. They shell over a distance of
so miles with the certainty of hitting
any spot they aim at. The power and
velocity of the shot are such that on
leaving the gun it has force enough to
go straight through 57A inches OF
wrought iron.-London Tit Bits.

Matter of HEIGHT.

We are informed by an otherwise
veracious friend that he was standing
in front of a department store, gaz-
ing raptly into one of the display
windows, when he heard this CONVEX
sation:
Tell me, Grace" said a man whose
wife-or maybe she wasn't-had made
him stop while she rubbered Mt the
dresses, when you're getting a dress
which costs more-the waist or the
skirt?"
why, that depends" said the wo
man.

'Well, this season the skirts come
high, but the waists don't-ain't ]

AMUSEMENT NOTES,
MAKES DEEP IMPRESSION.
Birth Control The Reigning Discussion
in Where Are My Children?

Where Are My Children? that daring
photo-play that has been crowding the
Majestic theatre, Boston, all summer,
Tour times daily viii be seen at the
Auditorium three days beginning Mon
day, Oct. 10.
The fact that there are four perform
ances day will be much appreciated as
people intending to attend the second
performance Of the afternoon or even
ing may come in time for that per
Torrance and thus avoid waiting in the
lobby or on the sidewalk.
The play has made a great impres-
sion on all who have seen it, and edu-
Gators, ministers, physicians and others
are loud in their praises OF the film
which teaches such wholesome lesson
IN such an interesting manner. AL
though the topic illustrated is general
ly considered fit for discussion in pri-
vate, there can be no objection to the
way that the truths of Where Are Nv
Children? are placed before an audi
cnce. And these truths are especially
interesting at this time when the news
papers and the courts are dealing with
eases in real life such as are shown on
the screen.
liz az Ting Ill W mere are NV NnlI-
dren? is far better than in the major
lty of screen plays. With such a stcr-
ling actor as Tyrone Power in the role
OF the district attorney, and ably sup
ported, dramatic treat is assured. The
four performances are given at ?, $50.
and $50 p. m.
That these audiences are made up
so largely of members of the gentlcr sex
is not surprising, as Where Are Nv
Children deals with two problems of
vital interest to women-women of
every walk in life. The minor problem
of birth control is introduced as a con
trasting figure of especial interest just
now through court proceedings, and the
mass meetings on the subject which
are being addressed by many well
known speakers.
But the main theme of the play is
the premeditated destruction of the I'M
born by malpractice, and shows how
fashionable women avoid the cares of
maternity in order not to he deprived
Of the pleasures of their particular So
cial world. The theme is admittedly a
/ delicate one but it is handled with deli
! cacy and should not cause offence; and
the lesson taught is strictly moral, and
/ judging from certain items in the news
of the day, one that is strongly needed

The Army Rat Catcher.

William Dalton of Southwark, who
IS known as the king of rat catchers,
has been given the job of killing the
rats in all the army camps III England
This year says the king" II am
fighting almost single-handed, and the
menace is really serious. In less than
six months l have caught over $4,000
rats, and cries for help are coming
from all quarters.

reply to the question, q What was
happening al Tampico?' he quotes the
JdInlIal:-
% Nothing very serious The day Of
the 2lst passed off quietly enough. but
that night after the Mexlcans knew of
the fighting in Vera CRUZ there were
some antl-American demonstrations
that the federal troops put down
quickly. 1t was during these demon
5trations that Captain Koehler of the
German cruiser Dresden went to Gen
eral Zaragoza and demanded that he
stop the demonstration and that he
protect the Americans. He, with some
of his officers escorted some American
ladies' and children to the boat land
ing and took them off to the Dresden.
received so many alarming re-
ports during the night of the 1922
that decided to go up the river on the
morning OF the 22d and bring out the
Americans. What | had been guard
ing against was any appearance of hos
tile action that might occasion a gen
aral outbreak, but the pressure put
upon me was too strong to be resisted.
Early on the morning of April - |
sent message to Captain Doughty of
the British cruiser Hermione, telling
hIm Of my intent, and asking him to
inform General Zaragoza that | was
coming III for the sole purpose of TAX
ing out American citizens.
Captain Doughty at once made a
request that my plan should be
changed. He pointed out that it was
not only Americans who were con
cerned, but also English, German
French and Spanish He did NOT
doubt my ability to handle the Tam
pico situation, but he did fear for the
safety of all foreigners in the city and
i'll the interior. One shot from nv
guns, one clash between my men and
| the federal forces, and a fire would be
lighted that would spread faster than
any relief expedition could hope tc
follow. What he suggested was that
should remain outside and permit him
to collect all Americans quietly and
| slowly, and then send them out to me
| Ii struck me as a good idea, and | adj
vised Admiral Fletcher. For three
| days this work of rescue went on
Over 200 Americans were taken

the United States deserted its citizens
| and forced them to seek refuge under
the British tiag?' Creel asked.
" Exactly he quotes the admira
as replying.
He then gives the following CONVEX
sation:-
"Were any lives lost, Admira
| Mayo" | asked.
- Not a single life.
"Any property destroyed?2
| None, except losses incident f,
| the rebel attack. Surely such result,
ought to constitute q sufficient answe
to misrepresentation and aspersions
1t would have been easy for me t.

war and burning and killing, an,

Apples Is Good.

The young superintendent of the En-
deavor society tried to teach each chile
to say aloud some prayer, even if i
were only sentence. At first she
taught them prayers. Later they were
encouraged to compose their own.
One tiny fellow, the son of a poo
widow, had his first production read!
on very cold winter day.
Dear Lord, apples is good"
That night the mother of the super
intendent took n basket Of apples t
dainty, evidently grateful that his frs
prayer had been answered.
