Teamster's Life Saved
WRITES, LETTER THAT IS WORTH READING VERY CAREFULLY.

Peterson Bros: I was afflicted with very severe sore on my leg for years. I am teamster. I tried all medicines and salves, but without success. l tried doctors. but they failed to cure me.

Thankfully yours, Will jam Haase, West Park, Ohio, Mar. 22 1915, care P. c. Reitz, Box 199.
 Peterson says:A T am proud of the above letter and have hundreds ot others that tell of wonderful cures o1 Eczema, Piles and Skin Diseases
 Peterson's Ointment is 9 cents al all druggists, and there isn't a broad minded druggist in America that won't praise it.

FEARLESS PETER"
"king of Guerrillas'' is Hindenburg' s
GrimmeSt Foe.

FEARLESS Peter" guerrilla king, is
the grimest foe of Hindenburg and
Archduke Frederick. Even the un-
beaten Hindenburg breads Earless
Peter, and his chief of staff has Of
fered $4,000 for Peter, dead or
alive. Peter at different periods
RACES all over the 1,00O-mile front
between Baltic and Bukowina; raids,
kills, burns, cut railroads and tele-
graphs, spies, escapes in incredible
ways, and does everything done by
Christian De Wet in Africa, with
double zeal and a picturesque splicing
of Tartar ferocity. Just now Earless
Peter is raging in Galicia. His last
exploit was to get right behind
Pfazer-Baltin lines, cut off an out
post and circumvent much stronger
force sent to relieve the outpost. Pc
ter and his horsemen rode through
the foe. They lost twenty men out
Of eighty, but on their wild ride
home they cut to bits a picket and
carried the pickets' caps as trophies
into Tarnopol town, where Peter got
gloriously drunk, smashed a mirror
with his sabre and threatened to
slay the persistent newspaper men
who worried him to tell them yarns
All over the 1,000-mile front guer-
rilla warfare is being waged, and for
months at a time the slaughter done
by guerrillas exceeds the slaughter
done by the inert trench warriors,
Altogether there are $4,000 guerril-
las, organized in about three hundred
brave bands, with grim and relent-
less leaders. Bravest is the band OF
Earless Peter, and grimmest, most
relentless of leaders is Peter himself
Both of Peters ears exist, and are
painfully sound. He is fearless
merely because he is deaf to appeals
for mercy. Earless Peters two
brothers were killed at the battle OF
Krasnik, the first stiff fight between
Russians and Austrians, and today
Peter gives no quarter and asks fol-
none. He slaughters no prisoners
but he refuses to take them.
Earless Peters biography is par
ody of the perverted, whimsical and
extravagant Russians found in Dos
toyevsky and Gleb Uspensky. Pc
ter's real name is Levachoff, and he
is the 36-year-old son Of rich
Smolensk manufacturer. He is re-
ligious, a drunkard, charitable, fierce
grim, frivolous and pleasure-loving

NAMING OF THE SANDWICH.
Card Player Had Bread and Meat
Brought to Table.

Lord Sandwich, who died, and the
ham sandwich, and the sandwich men
on the street, and Sandwich, Barn
stable county, Mass, are all bound
up together. Queer how it should
be so. The papers already have told
how the sandwich, an article of food,
got it's name from the fourth Earl
Sandwich, because he was such an
inveterate card player that he could
not take time to eat his meals, and
had bread brought to him with meat
between the slices, at the card table.
But Lord Sandwich was called Lord
Sandwich because the first Earl
Sandwich, back in 1850, chose to
take his title from the ancient town
of Sandwich, in Kent. Fine old
place greatest place for golf in Eng
land. When some people came TO
New England in 1889 and started a
village down on the cape near the
sea, they bethought themselves of
Sandwich, in old England, which
lay just that way, and called their
village Sandwich. That accounts for
Sandwich, and Lord Sandwich, and
the sandwiches. And the sandwich
man is just a poor wretch, with an
advertising board hung on each side
of him, the human meat Cor bone) in
the middle, just as it was in Lord
Sandwiches hasty meal at the card
table. So all the sandwiches are
present and accounted for.-Boston

Military Roads.

One thing the British found out
during their first winter campaign
in Europe-a thing which the Ger.
mans already knew-and one thing
the American troops along the Dor.
der will find out, whether they go in.
to Mexico or not, is that without
good roads no army can expect tc
keep itself as we'll provided with am.
munition and supplies as modern ar
tillery practice demands. The Brit
ish have been obliged practically tc
rebuild every road in that part o1
Northern France occupied by their
troops. And they have not content
ed themselves with mere graveling
and grading. They have built con-
crete roads and bridges, and if they
succeed in holding their ground these
roads will for many years serve tC
remind the French of the British oc'
cupancy of Northern France. The
roads, which the British found were
in fair condition, but as soon as win
ter came on the artillery and heavy
motor trucks cut them until they
were practically impossible. It was
then that the British discovered that
an ordinary road will not serve an
army. Back of the reserve trenches
they began to build concrete high
ways suitable for motor trucks, hav-
ing in mind first the necessity in
times of peril of transporting large
quantities of ammunition and guns
from one part of the line to another,
and also the demand for good roads
to enable the ambulance drivers to
make quick time with the wounded
ordered to the base hospitals. The
building of these roads also serves
to supply work for the reserves held
back of the line. Of course, there
is always the possibility that in case
of a retreat the army will destroy the
roads by blowing large holes in them
at frequent intervals, and also by
blowing bridges out. But, in a gen
eral way, French roads have been
greatly improved by the occupation
of the country by the Germans and
British News.

Rifle Strength and Ration Strength

Rifle Strength and Ration Strength.
One effect of Winston Churchilps
criticism of the waste of men in the
British army has been a lively dis
cussion of officers servants, of whom
there are estimated to be some 2OO,-
900 in France. A number of officers
have written to correct the popular
assumption that these are merely min
listers of comfort, spending their time
at a safe distance from the front, in
polishing boots and opening bottles.
It is pointed out that the servants
go into the trenches with the officers
and are equally exposed to danger.
But this is not quite the point at
which Col. Churchill was driving.
While incidentally he undertook to
show that about a quarter of the
army suffered the greater part of the
losses and risks, his main concern
was to show that the rifle strength Of
the army was not in proportion to its
ration strength. Nor was he for
making the officers black their own
boots, for it was part of his argument
that to a considerable extent the
work of the servants might be done
by natives. On the whole the effort
of his searching, but temperately, ex-
pressed criticism has been whole
some. That in some measure it is
justified may be taken for granted,
for the evils which he attacked are
precisely those which are most diff
cult to avoid or to eradicate. rifle
strength" is an index which cannot
be too forcibly insisted upon.-

GERMANS MADE TO DO WITH
 LESS BEER

BERLIN, June 15. - (Correspond- ence of the Associated Press.J - War, which has worked so many changes in the habits of the Germans, has now conspired with warm weather to induce the Germans to drink soft drinks v Bottles of lemon sour, ginger ale, cream soda and other beverages in cluded under the generic name of ."pop" in the United States are begin. ming to make their appearance on shalves and bars formerly devoted to beer. and the thirsty people are drink. ing them, not from choice, but be. cause they have to.
 It is no longer possible to make enough beer to meet even fairly mod est demands of the reduced home population. The majority of the larger beer gardens will not be opened at all this summer, and for some weeks 1t has been no unusual thing to find some of Ber1in's biggest res taurants and beer halls without a drop of beer early in the evening of warm days. The sale of beer to households in containers charged with carbonic acid gas has been discon- tinued, and only favored old custom CTS can still get bottled beer.
 Bavaria, the greatest beer drinking country of the world, where many a solid citizen normally drinks one to two gallons daily, and where the great beer halls are filled at almost all hours of the day, is in a still worse plight. The time in which beer may be sold has been steadily shortened, and now there has come an order per hitting saloons, beer halls, etc, to sell beer only from 10 to 12, to 4 and after 9 o'clock at night. Excep- tions are made in the case of beer dis pensed in factories to their workers, and by farmers to their help. No beer whatever may be sold locally until after the wants of the Bavarian soldiers have been supplied.
 The scarcity is, of course, due to tte fact that the empire has had ,o limit strictly the amount of barley which can be turned into malt. This amount has been fixed at 50 per cent of the norr,al amount, but brewers interviewed by the Associated Press correspondent said they were not able to obtain even this amount. An un- foreseen inroad has further been made into the available amount of barley by the fact that the shortage of cof- fee has required the roasting of great quantities of barley as a substitute.
 The government has granted the brewers permission to malt in the second (current) quarter of the year
