Edward Fleury, 10, of Claremont, N.
H., was instantly killed, and his moth
err Mrs. Esdres Fleury was badly
injured shortly after ~ O'Clock Fri
day noon in a runaway accident on
Elm street.
Mrs. Fleury and her son were driving
down West Terrace street, according to
reports, when the horse became unman-
ageable as Mrs. Fleury raised her UNI
brella. The frightened animal dashed
down West Terrace and around the cor
ner into Elm street, heading toward the
lower village. There is large tree on
the lawn of the w. p. Walker home, and
the horse headed straight for this. The
body of the wagon collided forcibly
with the tree, and young Fleury was
hurled violently out, striking his head
against the trunk
Passers-by, including the homeward
going noon crowds from the shops,
FASTENED to remove the young man from
the wreckage of the wagon, but death
had apparently ensued almost at once.
Mrs. Fleury was badly shaken up and
somewhat bruised, and sustained a
broken arm as well.
Young Fleury had for some time this
summer been employed in the foundry
of the Sullivan shop. He is survived
by brother and two sisters, in addi-
tion to his parents.

URGES EVERYONE
TO QUICKLY GET
ON WATER WAGON
Drink glass of hot water before
breakfast to wash out
poisons.

To see the tinge of healthy bloom
in your face, to see your skin get
clearer and clearer, to wake up with
out a headache, backache, coated
tongue or a nasty breath in fact to
feel your best. day in and day out.
just try inside-bathing every morning
for one week.
Before breakfast each day drink n
glass of real hot water with a tea
spoonful of limestone phosphate in it
as a harmless means OF washing from
the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels
the previous days indigestible waste,
sour bile and toxins; thus cleansing,
sweetening and purifying the entire
alimentary canal hafore putting more
food into the stomach. The action of
hot water and limestone phosphate on
an empty stomach is wonderfully in
vigorating. 1t cleans out all the sour
lamentations, gases and acidity and
gives one Il splendid appetite for
breakfast.
a quarter pound of limestone phos-
phate will cost very little at the drug
store, but is sufficient to demonstrate
that just as soap and hot water
cleanses, sweetens and freshens the
skin, so hot water and limestone phos-
phate act on the blood and internal
organs. Those who are subject to con-
stipation. bilious attacks, acid stom-
ach, rheumatic twinges, also those
whose skin is sallow and complexion
pallid, are assured that one week of
inside bathing will have them both
looking and feeling better in every
way.-AdV.

LEGAL BASIS OF
SUBMARINE WAR
Prof. Niemeyer, German Inter-
national Law Expert, Dis
cuSseS Problem

Berlin. Feb. 11.-(Corresponde
of the Associated Press)-In answer
to American criticisms of submarine
warfare aroused by the Lusitania and
Ancona cases, Professor Theodor Me
meyer, International law expert at the
University of Kiel. has issued a bro
chure entitled THE Legal Basis of
Submarine War" In it he gives his
reasons for believing, not only that
such warfare is justified, but that pas
sengers may be torpedoed as the Lusi-
tania and Ancona were without any
infraction of existing International
law.
Submarine warfare per sc, he
argues, is allowable because it is not
forbidden. Various restrictions plac-
ed upon naval warfare in general by
international conventions, he declares,
are null and void because not rati-
fled by all of the present combatants
The command of necessity" he argues
is another reason for the submarine.
1t has ''the right and duty to do every
thing that serves the wars purpose"
He quotes Article 40 of the London
Declaration to show that neutral prize
may be destroyed If the attacker is in
danger, but that no such conditions is
imposed in regard to enemy vessels.
The inference therefore to be drawn
Is that the attacker needs no such
pretense or excuse as danger to justify
him in sinking his opponents ships.
As regards the rights of passengers,
the writer declares that they are not
touched upon in any international
agreement until the London Declara-
tion, which, in Article so says: "Avant
la destruction (of the ship les per-
sonnes qui Sc trouvent a bord devront
etre misses en- surete." (Before the
destruction of the ship the persons
who are on board shall Cor must) be
removed to safety.)
On the word "devront," Professor
Niemeyer lays the greatest stress of
his argument. He declares that the
French have but the one word de
voir" to cover both must and shall.
He elects to translate devront as shall,
maintaining that If must" had been
meant the form "doivent" would have
been used.
On the assumption, therefore, that

NO ACID STOMACH,
SOURNESS, GASES
OR INDIGESTION
In five minutes your sick, sour
upset stomach will
feel fine.
"Pape's Diapepsin" neutralizes
acids in stomach and
starts digestion.

Take your sour, out of-order stom-
dyspepsia or gastritis, it doesn't
matter-take your stomach trouble
right with you to your pharmacist and
ask him to open a 50-cent case of
Pape's Diapepsin and let you eat one
22-grain triangle and see If within
five minutes there is left any trace of
your former misery.
The correct name for your trouble
is food fermentation-acid stomach
food souring; the digestive organs
become weak, there is lack of gastric
juice; your food is only half digested,
and you become affected with loss of
appetite, pressure and fullness after
eating, vomiting, nausea, heartburn,
gripping in bowels, tenderness in the
pit of stomach, bad taste in mouth,
constipation, pain in limbs, SleepeleSS-
ness, belching of gas. biliousness, sick
headache, nervousness, dizziness or
many other similar symptoms.
If your appetite is tickle. and Moth
ing tempts you, or you belch gas or if
You feel bloatcd after eating, or your
food lies like u lump of lead on your
stomach, you can make up your mind
that at the bottom of all this there is
but one cause-fermentation of undi-
gested food.
Prove to yourself in five minutes
that your stomach is as good as any;
| that there is nothing really wrong.
Stop this fermentation and begin eat
ling what you want without fear of
discomfort and misery.
Almost instant relief is waiting for
you. 1t is merely a matter of how
soon you take little Diapepsin.-Ad-
Ivertisement.

TO GAIN FLESH AND
INCREASE WEIGHT
People Who Were Thin and Rundown
Have Reported Weight Increases of
Ten to Twenty-Five Pounds
From This Simple

Thin men and women, 10 pounds or
more under normal weight, who would
like to plump up a bit-weigh what
they should weigh ought to give them-
selves the Sargol test.
This test is safe easy pleasant, costs
little if it succeeds and nothing IL it
fails.
Weigh yourself before you begin.
Then get from G. A, Gorgas or any re-
liable druggist anywhere a sixty days
supply of Sargol (tablet form). Take ono
tablet with each meal-one before you
go to bed-four every day. Weigh
yourself each ten days during the test
and note what improvement has been
made. Let the scales tell the story If
at the end of sixty days your weight
has not increased at least 10 pounds
take the box tops of the packages of
Sargol you purchased back to the drug
gist you bought them from and he is
authorized to return every penny you
paid him. This test is surely worth
trying as thin people from nearly every
part of the country tell of gains in
weight ranging all the way from ten
to twenty-five pounds that followed
their use of Sargol in this way. Sargol
is a carefully balanced combination of
flesh building agents and assimiliative
aids that may be taken with entire
safety.-Advertiseme

Some Brandeis Views

The remedy for existing condi-
uons is the conservation of wasted
energy.
The great trouble with all forms
of business day is that too little
attention is given to the men at the
bottom of the ladder.
The best brains should teach the
men lowest down.
All the powers of capital and all
the ability and intelligence of the
men who WELD and serve capital
have been used to make slaves of
these steel workers.
Capital in many instances really
earns a great deal less than is safe
for industry.
There is little choice between
unions and employees when it
comes to violence.
There must be not only g, division
of profits but of responsibility,
The worker must have a voice
in saying how the business shall be
run.
Crush the trusts and the high
cost of living will decrease.
The liberty of the workingman
is a hoax.
The competition in business cor
responds to liberty in political and
civil life.
To preserve the liberty of the
many, we find it necessary to re-
strict the liberty of the few
Price cutting merely is one of
the many methods of unfair COM
petition.
Excesses of competition lead to
monopoly just as excesses of liber-
ty lead to absolution.

Article 90 was intended to read that
passengers shall be placed in safety.
he is of the opinion that the words oif
II is possible" are to be interpolated
or read into the paragraph. With the
article in thi: revised form. as he is
morally convinced it should be. he
finds every phase of submarine war
fare justifiable.
Anxiety Hangs Over
Professor Niemeyer opens his bro
chure with the following foreword:
Ever since North American din
lomacy has sought to impair the gIor-
lous deeds of our submarines by their
notes and to harm them by interna-
uonal complications, the anxiety that
q strategic advantage will be torn
from our hands without opposition has
hung over the German people like a
black cloud. We hope. however. that
our submarines will not be offered up
on the altar of waste through half
way measures to suit foreigners. We
express our complete confidence in
our heroic submarine commanders
and crews, with the assurance that
the German people without exception
stands behind them, filled with ad-
drop of blood still flows, so long as a
hand draws the sword"
The writer earnestly disputes the
contention that international law has
been smashed to bits in the present
war. He maintains rather that it is,
slangily expressed, bent but not
broken. There has not been as large
q proportion of offenses against it, he
says, as against criminal law the
word over
After presenting many reasons why
the submarine might be considered
unmenable TO existing law because it
is new, he declares that this view af-
ter all is untenable and insists that
the U-boat will have to continue to
operate under present statutes until
new ones are created after the war
He complains on the one hand that
international law as it now stands is
full of holes" and too elastic" but
finds In these very facts justification
for many of the acts of submarines
In support of his contention he quotes
many phrases which he terms vague,
and which, he says, are construed in
one way by America, in another by
England and in still third by Ger
many. In this connection he takes
tilt at American jurisprudence
About the middle of his brochure
he seems to despair of convincing
America that he is right and Amer
leans wrong, for he says:
''It is, I fear, easier for a camel to
pass through the eye of a needle than
for a genuine American really to un-
derstand q German, or even a Dutch
man or a. Norwegian, when one of
them insists that, according to the
character of the war and the character
of international law governing war
fare, the true inwardness of the legal
basis or statue of war changes"
