Simon Lake lnvents Improvement In Sub
marine Torpedo Increasing Effectiveness

New York, Feb. 15.-Simon Lake the inventor of
Bridgeport Conn, has devised improvement in sub
marine torpedo tubes which greatly increases the dead
of that weapon. patent issued to him today
for method of equippng submarines with torpedo
tubes which does away with the necessity for
turning the vessel that its Ion yudinal axis points to
its mark when the torpedo is discharged.
It provides for mounting tie tubes a swivel
movable in of 45 degrees Of a circle The tubes
placed between the outer and inner hus controlled
by wndlass and from the interior, and be
reloaded without rising to the surface
WILL FIRE ANYWHERE.
At present a submarine commander, seeking to sink
vessel by torpedo must submerged parallel to her
for time guage her size and speed and when he is
ready turn quickly at right angles and discharge his
weapon With Mr.. Lakes invention the torpedo be
aimed and fired without turning from parallel line from
the enemy craft.
As at present constructed submarine torpedo tubes
must be loaded when the vessel is in harbor and the
tubes cannot be reached at sea- With the device
the outer end of the tube may be sealed and the torpedo
inserted between the two skins of the submarine.
At present submarine commander has little
than minute in pursuing fast steamship to and
fire after he gets the range, because she could get
far away for effect if he did not fire quickly With Mr.
Lakes invention at least ten minutes will be given in
which the pursued vessel will be in fair range of the
swivel controlled tubes.

Worthy and Unworthy
Leaders of Farmers

There are many wrongs to be right
ed in this world, many oppressors to
curb; but we must fight not in hatred
for the wrong-doer but in love for the
wronged; not in the hatred of the op-
pressor but in love for the oppressed
The leaders whose names are enshrin-
ed in the hearts of mankind are those
who have battled in this spirit Lin
coin fought slavery not out of hatred
for Shareholders but in love for the
slaves; Lee fought Grant not that he
hated the North but that the loved
the South. And so in the battle to
secure a juster share of the worlds
wealth for labor as compared with
capital, I do not believe that the AL
mighty will let complete success come
until we go forth not to pull down
the rich but to lift up the poor.
1 have been worried a good deal
about this because our Southern far
mers often seen inclined to follow
leaders with gospel of hate and
suspicion rather than one of love and
brotherhood. If hearing mans
speech leaves you hating mankind
more rather than loving it more, or
if reading an editors paper leaves
you hating mankind more ather than
loving it more, that speaker or that
editor is not the right sort of man to
follow. l know a man right now,
man who I believe began life with
great passion to help the downtrodden,
but who has become embittered and
now uses his really great talent to
make one class hate another class,
one sect hate another sect, and who
breaches suspicion of nearly every
body and love of hardly anybody. /
know another man whose heart seems
to be right but who has seemingly
brooded over the wrongs our farmers
suffer until he has lost faith in man.
kind.
| We need more faith in our fellows.
Let's not believe that among the rich
there are many who are consciously
dishonest. They have more than their
share, but most of them got it by
methods recognized by law and not
yet condemned by mankind, and the
fault is not that they are bad at heart
that they haven't realized that in pro-
viding wealth for their families they
are condemning other mems families
to want. We must fight that such in
Justice may be corrected, but let US
fight, as we have said, not in hatred
for the rich but Move for the poor
in love for the toll worn wives and
mothers who need more comforts, in
love for aspiring boys and girls who
need better chance in the world

FRETFUL BABIES
NEED A LAXATIVE

When your baby is cross and fretful
the chances are it is constipated and
that a mild laxative is all that is neces-
sary to make it comfortable and happy.
Inactive bowels are the cause Of as
much discomfort to children as to older
people, and unless the condition is
promptly relieved is very apt to develop
serious illness.
For children there is nothing that
will act more easily than the cornbina-
ton of simple laxative herbs with pep
sin that is sold in drug stores under the
name of DR.. Caldwelrs Syrup Pcpsin.
1t does not grpe and is free from
opiate or narcotic drugs, is pleasant to
the taste, and positively effective: chill
dren like it and take it readily.
IF you have never tried this simple,
Inexpensive remedy, get a bottle of
DR.. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin from your
druggist and have it in the house to use
the next time any Of the children seem
out of sorts. A trial bottle can be OBJ
tained. free of charge, by writing to
DR.. w. B. Caldwell, 456 Washington

TED, CHEAPEST AND BEST
ALL DRUGGISTS HAVE 1T.

most economical tonic and medicine
for the blood to be just ordinary med
icinal iron, highly concentrated. 1t is
not only most economical but strong,
balf teaspoonful in a glass of water
being the usual dose.
Any druggist has Acid Iron Mineral
and a fifty-cent or dollar bottle of
Acid Iron Mineral will go from two
to ten times as far as other weaker
iron preparations. In buying Acid
Iron Mineral concentrated, the user
should remember that it is just a
natural highly concentrated product
and therefore contains no cathartics
Or laXatives to upset and stimulate
the bowels as so many preparations
do.
We all need more or less iron this
time of year to enrich the blood. An
other advantage of this natural pro-
duct is that it helps digestion and ap-
