Rifle Equipment.

A new invention for firing at
close range is a flash light equip
ment for high power rifles which
simplifies the aiming of a weap-
on when it is used for shooting
wild beasts after dark. Unlike
other lighting apparatus hereto
foro introduced for night hunting
the beam of light has the shape
Of an inverted letter CT" This
character is brilliantly emblazon-
ed upon whatever object the
shaft of light strikes, as, for in
stance, the shoulder of a lioness.
The hunter in this way is able
to point his rifle almost as one
would the nozzle of a hose, for
upon firing, his bullet will strike
the point indicated by the char
acter. inst enough light is
diffused outside Of the plane OF
the "T" shaft dimly to illum.
mate a small field and show the
outlines of an animal. 1t is said
that use of the device in Austria.
| liza has shown that a wild beast
appears momentarily paralyzed
by fear when blinded by the
light.

DOES 1T PAY
TO BE SICK?

Let's forget about all the disagreeable
and painful part of sickness, and ask our
selves if it PAYS to be sick.
Perhaps you are only HALF sick
maybe you are dragging yourself around,
with dead tired" feeling. Perhaps you
wake up in the morning with heavily
coated tongue, bad taste In your mouth,
and hardly any appetite. Quite likely
you are bilious. Maybe you have dull
aches and pains, CONSTIPATION, head
aches.
You go about your daily duties. You
tell yourself you will feel better tomorrow
but when tomorrow comes you feel just
about the same. You try this and that
remedy, without getting real relief. Or
If you get some relief, it doesn't LASTt
You soon feel just as bad as you did before.
ADOES 1T PAY to let yourself stay in
this half-sick condition. Think Of all the
ENJOYMENT of life you are missing.
You can't enjoy your food, or the society
of your family and friends. You can't
enjoy anything as you should, because
your senses are dulled and your brain
oppressed by the effects of a SLUGGISH
LIVER. g
Say, friend, does it PAY you to lug
around that sluggish liver when you can
promptly make it ACTIVE and so get rid
of all those depressing, disagreeable symp-
toms-by letting

on the coast near the entrance of
principal port of friendly power does
interfere with the trade of that friend
ly power"
1t is pointed out today that when
British cruisers, by lowering close to
the New York three mile limit, be-
came an offense to this government,
the British ambassador at Washington
was so notified and it was stated at
the time by Secretary of State Bryan
that the British warships retired.
Give Boat Fair Play.
1t is fully expected by the state de-
partment that the question will arise,
if it has not already arisen, of the pro-
priety of the gathering of warships of
the allies to intercept the Deutschland
when she crosses the three mile limit.
1t is well understood that the United
States must reiterate the action it took
in the case of the British cruisers off
New York
The navy department confirmed to-
day the statements that circumstances
may demand an Increase of the naval
strength for observation of the three
mile limit in the interests of fair play
for the Deutschland. The government
is expected to take the steps it took
at the time it was feared British cruis-
ers might fire at the Prinz Eitel Fried
rich within the three mile limit at the
time it was supposed she would make
dash for liberty. The usual patrol
will be increased by one or more war
ships.

FINISH SECOND ROUND
Del Monte Golf Players Reach Cham
pionship Flight Today.

Del Monte, Cal, July 1s.-The sixty
four players making the lowest scores
in Mondays play will finish out today
the second half of the qualifying
round of the eighteenth annual cham
pionship tournament of the Western
Golf association.
The surprise of the opening flight
of the tournament was furnished by
C. S. Mangham, a Texas youth un-
known on the coast, who led the field
with score of II for eighteen holes.
He had against him, 1t was said, as
notable field as ever started play at
Del Monte. 1t was Mangham'S first
time over the course. Mangham, it
was learned after the play, defeated
Chick" Evans, national champion in
a tournament in Houston, Texas, a
little over year ago.
The Texas youths achievement has
made him the favorite for today's
round.
The best thirty-two of the sixty
four who start in today's round will
play in the championship flight.

MAID is A MYSTERY
Recovery Doubtful-Takes Poison
After Registering at X. G. Hotel.

Kansas City, July 1s.-Physicians
doubted today whether the young
woman, believed to be Miss Helen
Morrison of ST: Paul. would survive
more than "a hours the poison she
took last night while a guest at one
of the city.s best hotels. Little infor-
nation has been obtained about her at
the hospital and she will not discuss
her act further than to say she had
no desire to live.
The young woman registered at the
hotel last Friday under the name of
Helen Montague OF st. Paul.
A physician who was called to her
room last night when she complained
of headache discovered she had
taken poison. She was taken to a
hospital and all attempts to learn more
concerning her have failed. The name
Helen Morrison was furnished by a
man who telephoned the hospital last
night to-. ask her condition. He gave
no further information than that hos
pital officials stated, and his identity
was not learned.

President Wilson Makes Sur.

Wants Child Labor and Com

Washington, July 1s.-President
Wilson today visited the capitol to
confer with Senator Kern, Democratic
leader. The president called to urge
personally, it was said, the passage of
a national child labor bill and the
workmen's compensation bill, which
the Democratic caucus has tentative
ly decided must go over until next
September.
It was announced at the White
House last week that the president
planned to write a letter to Senator
Kern, urging the adoption of the
workman's compensation act and the
child labor bill.
Vance Mccormick, chairman of the
Democratic national committee, re-
Gently stated the president did not
want to be formally notified of his
denomination until congress had ad-
journed and it was fntinated that
delay in adjournment was expected

that these measures be passed. The

The clerk returned with the major

Senator Martin of. Virginia and Vice
President Marshall entered the presi-
dents room.
The conference concerned the legis-
lative program and the time of. ad-
journment of congress; which the
Democrats have tentatively fixed as
August 19. The president, it is un-
derstood, urged that the child labor
and workman's compensation meas
ures be included in the imperative leg
islative program. He sought to bring
about an arrangement that would not
delay adjournment, as he wishes to
begin the campaign not later than
September 1, and notification cere-
monies necessarily must be held prior
to that time. Senator Kern. while not
revealing the details of the confer
