 American navy experts are confident that some means will be found in the near future. if indeed it has not already been discovered, to rid the seas of German submarines. But no further statement that would in- dicate what has been scovered is expected to be made because of the desire of the navy depart ment officials to prevent word from reaching Germany that this government has any new meth ois of fighting submarines.

There have been many reels of moving pictures exhibited in Carlisle, but none to compare with the one Mrs. Long will show at the Pastime Theatre on Friday evening June 1st. at : D. m. We have seen train
 wrecks, battle scenes, subma- rine views, horses Dlunging from cliffs. nobility at play, whal- ing crews in the Arctic, lion hunting in the African jungles. etc., but thls newest products of the silent drama is the showing of front lacing corsets on living models. The theatre has been en- gagged for special matinee. and only women will be in attendance. Many male patrons will be dis appointed at learning that they are to be excluded from this the atre on the evening mentioned. but as the seating capacity will be taxed. and as the film is of di rect interest to women only. the men will have to content them selves with meager descriptions of those parts of the scenario that the women think might in terest mere man"
 A dozen models of varying types are employed in this pie ture and the actual fitting of Cos sard corsets is shown. Through clever manipulation of the mo. tion picture camera. 1t Is possi- ble, at the same time, to see two likeneSses of each model adyanc ing on the screen. In this way the contrast between uucorSet- ed and correctly corseted figur of each model is clearly shown.

Has A Way Been Found To End The German
 Submarine Menace?

Have United States naval ex perts perfected a practical meth cd of destroying the German submarine menace?
 That they have is the conf dent statemen6 of William l. Saunders, chairman of the naval consulting board. His optimism is shared by other engineers of high standing.
 Just what the method alluded to by Saunders is has not been made known, and will not he. He declares that it involves car rying the war into enemy terri tory. and the use of destroyers, submarine chasers. mines, etc. The device that he says will be used is electrical. and can be turned out by steel mills throughout the country.
 British and American naval experts have discussed three other methods of putting an end to submarine warfare. One is the bottling up Of the narrow strait between Sweden and Denmark; the second. the mining of the en- tire North Sea, which would shut off entirely the trade of Hol land, Denmark and Sweden, and the third, storming the German naval base at kiel and destroying Heliogland, Germany's Gibral tar.
 The third proposition has been discussed only as a last rasort The combined naval forces oi Great Britain, France and the United States might destroy the gneat German naval base and the strongly fortified island of He ligoland, but this could be done only at frightfnl cost

Raiding A Wine Cellar

A bit Of news from Little Rock Ark, printed in your Mondays issue awakened in me memories of the long ago. 1 am alluding to the dispatch, Wine Cellar raid- ed. The sheriff seized 100 barrels of home made wine belonging to Robert Heinkle, a farmer at Ma blevale Ark" I happened to be connected with Little Rock newspaper when that state made the most strenuous efforts to in- d ce farniers in Germany to em- igrate to Arkansas and invest in land for vineyards. I made it my business to inspect the land sold to the foreigners. and found most of it to be so miserable that 1 considered it my Christian duty to utilize the press to send out warnings. But the poor fel- lows already here remained and for long time eked out a mea- ger existence. for years and years slaving day to day from sunrise to sunset, and later few succeeded. And now the state of Arkansas is prosecuting these settlers for doing the very thing for which they had been coaxed over here. Of course, the wilder ness has been transformed into a garden of Eden and the poor slaves may go. Verify, the citi- zens of Arkansas are acting quite un>American. Respectfully Louis G. Fritz.

Everyone Should
Drink Hot Water
in the Morning
Wash away all the stomach, Ever,
and bowel poisons before
breakfast.

To feel your best day in and day
out, to feel clean inside; no sour
bile to coat your tongue and sicken
your breath or dull your head; no
constipation, bilious attacks, sick
headaches, colds, rheumatism or gas
sy, acid stomach, you must battle
on the inside like you battle outside.
This is vastly more important, be-
cause the skin pores do not absorb
impurities into the blood, while the
bowel pores do, says a well-known
physician.
To keep these poisons and toxins
we'll flushed from the stomach, liver,
kidneys and bowels, drink before
breakfast each day, glass OF hot
water with a teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate in it. This will cleanse,
purify and freshen the entire ali
mentary tract, before putting more
food into the stomach.
Get q quarter pound of limestone
phosphate from your pharmacist. 1t
is inexpensive and almost tasteless,
except a sourish twinge which is not
unpleasant. Drink phosphated hot wa,
ter every morning to rid your sys-
tenn of these vile poisons and toxins;
also to prevent their formation.
To feel like young folks feel; like
you felt before your blood, nerves
and muscles became saturated with
an accumulation of body poisons, be-
gin this treatment and above all, keep
it up! AS soap and hot water act on
the skin, cleansing, sweetening and
purifying, so limestone phosphate and
hot water before breakfast, act on
the stomach, liver, kidneys and bow
els.

TO DARKEN HAIR
APPLY SAGE TEA
Look Young! Bring Back Its Nat
ural Color, Gloss and
Attractiveness.

Common garden sage brewed into a
heavy tea with sulphur added, will
turn gray, streaked and faded hair
beautifully dark and luxuriant. Just a
few applications will prove reve-
lation If your hair is fading, streaked
or gray. Mixing the Sage Tea and
Sulphur recipe at home, though. is
troublesome. An easier way Is to get
a 50-cent bottle of Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound at any drug store
all ready for use. This is the old time
recipe improved by the addition of
other ingredients.
While wispy, gray. faded hair Is
not sinful. we all desire to retain our
youthful appearance and attractive
ness. By darkening your hair with
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound.
no one can tell, because it does it SO
naturally, so evenly. You just damp
en- a sponge or soft brush with 1t and
draw this through your hair, taking
one small strand at a time; by morn
ing all gray hairs have disappeared.
and. after another application or two,
your hair becomes beautifully dark,
} glossy soft and luxuriant.
: This preparation is delightful
toilet requisite and is not intended
for the cure, mitigation or prevention
Of disease.

YES! MAGICALLY!
CORNS LIFT OUT
WITH FINGERS

You corn-pestered men and women
need suffer no longer. Wear the shoes
that nearly killed you before, says this
Cincinnati authority, because a few
drops of freezone applied directly on
a tender, aching corn or callus, stops
soreness at once and soon the corn or
hardened callus loosens SO it can be
lifted out, root and all, without pain.
A small bottle of freezone cost very
little at any drug store, but will posi-
lively take off every hard or soft corn
or callus. This should be tried, as 1t
is inexpensive and is said not to irri-
tate the surrounding skin.
If your druggist hasn't any freezone
tell him to get small bottle for you
from his wholesale drug house. 1t is
fine stuff and acts like charm every
time
