Gently said:
"Calomei is a catilartic and very
crude and supcrfuous one. 1t pro-
duces no special effect upon the liver
or upon the secretion of bile. It has
no more influence over biliousness
than any other active. physic. It is
lust the ancient standby, cheaper
than most other physics and retained
N use because old dogs seldom learn
new tricks"
AS a substitute for a poison like

CORDELE BOY IS
BUSY In TRENCHES
J. 3. RIVALS, JR., WRITES INTER
EsTlrlG LETTER TO PARENTS.

Under date of October 20, j. B.
Ryals. Jr., writes an interca ng letter
home to his parents He is in the
English army in France, having gone
to England about year ago from here
before the United States de- (, war.
His letter follows:

Mrs. Webb came up to me the otherday
while | was in the trenches. I GER
tainly was glad to hear from you all.
Although ] was on a pretty quiet front,
Fritz put over very lively lombard

! had to go down to my sleeping place
"a tunnel about 80 feet under ground
and with electric lights and running
water, all of the conveniences OF home,
SO to speak-to read them
please thank Mrs. Webb for me for
her gift. ANY little thing is gratefully
received, you know The most notice
able feature Of trench life is the mud
many varieties of it, and the attendant
GOODNESS and dampness. You are COW
cred with mud from the time you go
in until you come out and go to rest
camp and get cleaned up There's not
much to do in the trenches in the day
time, just sleep, eat. read, clean your
rifle and ammunition two or three
times q day, or do anything else you
like, such as visiting friends in other
trenches or going to one of the trench
canteens. But all your euipment must
be kept on all the time, whether you
are sleeping or what not
cat night time, you go out on work
ing parties for an hour or so, carrying
rations and water, mending our wire,
patroling in No Mans Land or raiding
a Fritz trench for prisoner, etc All
Of the work is done at night.
Mr.. Ryals' parcel and Lamars could
not have come at more opportune
time. 1t was about three a. m. and l
had just arrived at the first rest camp
on little dinky train which brought
us about half way from the trenches
about five or six miles away. and
was beating it fer hot supper and
some dry blankets and a. wire bed,
when l heard my name called. Imag-
! in how pleased l was to get some par
cells.
"The British try to make trench life
as comfortable for the Tommies as can
well be done. You have more to eat,
and candies, matches, alcohol stove,
two packs of cigarettes, etc, are issued
daily. Rubber capes and rubber hip
boots help to keep out the dampness.
We also get long leather tunics short
ly to keep out the cold.
Life out OF the trenches is mostly
cleaning and polishing up, drawing
new euipment, and inspection of ri
fies, gas masks, etc. All of this hap
pens, however, after you have bathed
put on clean clothes, shaved and had
your hair cut
I'VE are billited on the French pei

we usually go around to one Of the
houses and get cup of coffee and

SNOWBOUND TRAINS ARE
RELEASED BY DYNAMITE
Drifts Packed So Tightly That Use Of
Explosive Was Necessary Before
Snow Plows Could Be Used.

Mandan.-"1t's the first time I ever
saw or heard of using dynamite to
clear away snow" said ]. T. Charm
ley, Mott newspaper editor, who was
one of the passengers on a train stuck
on branch line of the st. Paul road.
"The drifts were packed so hard"
Charmley said, 1.-The crew of the train
resorted to dynamite to clear of the
worst of the snow before trying to
buck 1t with the snow plows."
At Odessa, Morton county, a Nor
them Pacific branch train, with TWEEN
ty passengers. was stalled in deep
snow. Two rural school teachers, Miss
es Ruby Wilson and Luella Smuland,
went to their rescue with sandwiches,
coffee, etc. A sick woman on the train,
en- route here to the hospital, was car.
ed for by the teachers.
Passengers on a stalled train at
Stanton, Mercer county, were royalty
entertained by citizens. The Stanton
band was assembled and played con

Williston.-A self-guided torpedo,
based on magnetic control, has been in
vented and turned over to the govern
ment by Charles ]. Field Of this city,
grandson. of Cyrus w. Field, who laid
the first transatlantic cable.
Fields invention makes the steel In
. ship the magnetic target for the
death dealing torpedo. After the dis
charge of the torpedo at an enemy
cruiser the work of the human hand is
done.
Entering the magnetic field of the
ships steel. the torpedo lodges,
held by the force of the attracting
magnetism, remains until its explosion
results at the time determined by a
-'set lock-"
Recent official government tests
credit the device with seven hits out
of eight attempts, whereas the ordi-
nary torpedo hits only once out of Is
times.
According to Field, he refused an Of
fer from Count Won Bernstorff, who
wished to purchase the invention for
the German government two years ago.
