LESS NOISE,
MORE WORK,
WINS HERE
United States Secret Service Keeps
Close Watch on All Activities
in War Time

WASHINGTON, July 24-Uncle Sam
doesn't make as much noise about his
secret police agents as Kaiser Fill
does about his Wilhelmstrasse but the
star spangled sleuths get there just
the same.
The United States has one of the
biggest secret police systems in the
world.
1t centers in Washington. IL is
composed of:
1. The bureau of investigation. de-
partment of justice, headed by Bruce
Lielaski. In peace times this organ
ization hunted white slavers, anti
drug law violators, and other offend
ers. Now it hunts German spies and
pro-kaiserites.
2. The secret service, headed by
Chief Flynn. It's main duties are to
catch counterfeiters for the treasury
and furnish the president
a secret service squad.
8. Secret police systems of other
government departments - such as
postoffice inspectors to nab mail law
violators.
The army and navy have their own
means of getting information of mil
itary value.
Secret Service Workers
The biggest job right now is war
work. The secret service throws it's
tentacles in every direction feeling for
plotters against the president. The
bureau of investigation muses. dis
Ioyalist schemes. The army and
navy sleuths dig into enemy war
plans.
In their hunt for anti-American agi-
.ators, Uncle Sans secret police min
gle with crowds, participate in mass
meetings, use the telephone. If mob
gathers, the chances are a quiet gen.
,leman with a little badge in his poe
xet is among those present. They in
,line an ear to the rawlings of pro-
Germans and by mysterious methods
become aware of what Americas foes
ire doing in Berlin as well as in New
York

Half of Freight is Held

Railroad officials admitted at noon

situation closely.

Gets Three of Them

At midnight, the barrage ceased and
a German sergeant and two soldiers
crept out Of their trenches to take Alt
prisoner. He drew his revolver,
waited till they were close, and shot
all three.
French comrades reached the
wounded Alsacian and carried him
back to their lines.
The Legion of Honor was conferred
in Alt at the hospital where he is re-
covering from the amputation of his
leg.

Nerve Pulls Him Through

The doctors declare that it was his
determination to get well and keep on
fighting for Alsace that pulled him
through. Hardly was he out of the
hospital than he was back in the
French ranks demanding to be assign
ed to the most perilous tasks.
Alt had been serving for some time
as an observer in large tree far in
advance of the French lines. Event
ually the tree fell under suspicion
of the Germans and they at once sur
rounded it with barrage fire that
made escape practically impossible.
The Germans directed shell after shell
at the tree, until one struck squarely
and felled it to the ground. In the
fall, Alt received wounds that made 1t
impossible for him to flee. From 8
in the morning till midnight he lay
on the ground, hoping almost against
hope.

Starts in Young

Alt has been from his boyhood, one
of the most ardent champions of the
Alsacian cause. When the war broke
out he was at Toul. Although only 18
years of age then, he enlisted in the
French Foreign Legion and made the
campaign on the User. With 27 wounds
in his body, he was left on the Bel
gian battlefield for dead, but was
later picked up and taken to hos
pital.

BOOKLET INSANE OF ALASKA" IS
 CLEVER ARGUMENT

The Gateway is in receipt of Te- port from Dr. Henry Waldo Coe, medical director of Morningside hos pital, in which is set forth in a very interesting manner, complete info,ma- ton regarding the work of that in- stitution. The report is dedicated to the governor and legislature of Alas ka, and is intended to give them a complete idea of the accommodations afforded the insane patients who are received from this territory.
 Dr. Coe takes cognizance of many accusations and criticisms whicl have

THE EFFICIENCY TEST
u Folly Met by Hoods SarsapariIIa
and Peptiron Pills.

Because Of what it contains, of the
way 1t Is made and Of the record 1t
has achieved, Hoods Sarsaparilla is
warmly recommended to you for rheu-
matism. catarrh, scrofula, eczema and
other troubles arising from impure
blood or low state of the system.
In cases that are radically anemic
and nervous-marked by paleness,
thin flesh, sleeplessness, nerve-ex-
haustion, the power of Hoods Sarsa.
parilla is greatly increased by Pept-
iron Pills, the new pepsin, nux and
iron tonic. These two medicines make
the strongest combination course of
treatment for the blood and nerves of
which we have any knowledge
Fine results follow this course of
treatment--take Hoods Sarsaparilla
regularly before meals, Peptiron Pills
after meals.
Thousands of families are taking
these medicines. Let your family take
them, too. Get them now.-Adv

Nine Year Old South Bend Boy
Loses Little Time From School

If more parents would follow the
advice of Mr.. j. N. FELTON,, 116 E.
broadway, South Bend. Ind, their
children wouldn't lose much time from
school on account of colds. The i'm
rortant thing is to treat these troubles
at the first symptom. Keep plenty OF
fresh air in the bedroom, and at night
apply a good application of Vick's Vap-
Grub Salve, leaving the covering loose
around the neck, so the vapors arising
may be inhaled. Mr.. FELTON, gives his
experience as follows:
about week ago our nine year
old boy came home from school
with cold-pain in his head and
high fever. We put him to bed and
applied Vick's VapoRub up his nos
trils and over his chest, then COW
cred with a warm flannel cloth and
in the morning the pain in his head
was gone and in two days he went
back to school and has been we'll
since. VapoRub is the best we have
ever used"
