HOT TEA BREAKS
A COLD--TRY THIS

Get a small package of Hamburg
Breast Tea, or as the German folks
call it, Hamburger Brust Thee" at
any pharmacy. Take a tablespoonful
of the tea, put a cup of boiling water
upon it, pour through a sieve and
drink teacup> full at any time. 1t is
the most effective way to break cold
and cure grip, as it opens the pores,
relieving congestion. Also loosens
the bowels, thus breaking a cold at
once.
1t is inexpensive and entirely vege-
table, therefore harmless.

CIGAUETS IN

Fowler Takes Action

Tobacco kits, containing cigarets,

States Attorney A. w. Fowler to-

sale in this city holding them clearly
violative of the anti-cigaret law.
Several of the kits had been placed
on display by local tobacco dealers
but were being withdrawn this AFTER
noon.

opinion with respect to the sale OF

The sale of cigarets is clearly IL

able project, there is great Danger
that this particular method might be
used as a mere subterfuge for the IL
legal sale of cigarets.

dent of the Scandinavian American
bank of this city, by J. ]. Hastings,
financial secretary of the Nonpar-
tisan league, and Porter Kimball Of
Hope, another power in league af-
fairs, it was admitted by Mr.. Hagen
this afternoon that the future policy
OF the bank will be directed by the
league interests.
Says He Needs Rest.
That President Hagen will retire
from the bank after IS years Of
banking service in the state, was in
ferred from the statement he made
that he needed a rest. This was
given as one Of the reasons for his
selling his stock. Another reason
was that any banker would be tempt
ed to sell with such a glowing offer"
Mr.. Hagen probably will retire
from service with the Scandinavian
American bank, which he helped to
organize six years ago, at the annual
meeting of the board of directors to
be held the middle of January. Prior

was connected with banks at Aber-

Coupled with the announcement Of
the disposal of the bulk Of his stock

the statement from the president
that Kimball and Hastings had pur-
chased his entire holdings in the

understood that the Nonpartisan
league is behind the movement to
get the controlling interest in num-

their business to be transacted

Map showing how airplane raids
over Germany might be made from
q sea base; hydroairpIanes on q
cruiser on special raised platforms
from which they ascend in start
ing on flights.
London, Oct. 20.-(Special)-The
German air raids over England have
stirred in the British people an in
sistent demand for retaliation and it
Is suggested that England's air re-
prisals may be Of far greater mill
tary Importance than the merely
"frightful" air raids of Germany.
Through the establishment of a
floating naval base fifty metres from
Helgoland, a naval base comprising
fleet of destroyers and light fight
ing craft in support Of seaplane
carrying steamers, 1t would be pos
sible for England's airplanes to strike
at Wilhelmshaven and Kiel and to
deal an effective blow against the
German navy.
In planning a reprisal on Germany
the English people. though desperate
in their demand for 1t, are unwilling
to resort to the moral anarchy
that has been the method of the foe.
The destruction Of buildings and the
killing Of helpless civilians is Of not
the least military importance. The
plans for a decisive blow at the Ger
man naval bases are thoroughly
practicable as England was success
full in the same move on a smaller
scale earlier in the war. Carried out
in a much larger way 1t would be
possible for England to score a re-
taliation that would be nothing short
Of a stunning blow Of strictly mill
tary character.
While it is true that the German
fleet has been bottled up by the
blockading squadrons of the English
fleet yet the German fleet remains a
source of potential strength to Ger
many and vital support to the sub
marines. So long as the German u
boats are freea to leave their bases
and ravage shipping the central
powers will retain a distinct adj
vantage.
In December Of 1914 the British
carried out a successful expedition
against Cuxhaven, the German naval
base, through the cooperation of an
aerial squadron with the fleet and it
is proposed that the same scheme on
a much larger scale be launched
against the German bases around the
Kiel canal. The success of such an
attack by the British would rest
largely with their superiority in
aerial forces. The largest type Of
capable of carrying two
/ 500 pound torpedoes, torpedoes
that will sink any armored craft
when striking below the water line,
would be able. If mustered in suffici-
emit numbers, to accomplish more
damage in a. short while about the
German naval bases than 1t would be
possible for the Germans to repair
before another raid. Blocking the
Kiel canal and the harbor Of VIII
with sunken German
would be the most effec-
tive retaliation the British could
plan.
The scheme has been found by ex-
perts to be not merely an effective
means OF staggering the enemy
the Gripping of their sub
marine and naval strength, but also
1t would involve the least expendi-
ture Of life and material. The war
at present is costing the allies 5000
lives and more than $250,000,000 a
day. A death blow to Germany's
naval operations would rob her Of all
hope of ultimate victory and hasten
the wars conclusion.
