The statement of the Petit Parsien that the German
armies were provided with 16-inch guns designed for
the destruction of Paris at a safe distance of from 20
10 go miles lacks official verihcatiou but is plausible.
The honoardment of Dunkirk with 16-inch shells
from a. distance of - miles on more has gone ON at
intervals since the first year of the war. There would
Ice no great difficulty ia Increasing the range TO so
miles. no difficulty Whatever in hitting "a mark seven
miles wide.
The iong-range gun with which Paris was actual,
bomosrded was "a complicated mechanism. mounted
with great labor and cost and delivering ONLY "a nine
inch shell. A l6-inch shell would have approNinlateIv
five times as great destructive force: a number Of
cannon of that calibre stationed at different carefuIy
guarded points could have worked havoc with the
precious monuments of the City of Light and its valiant
population.

The case against them for conspir-

The prosecution against Martin

was dismissed.
The school fund received total Of

newspaper men that he intended to
carry the conspiracy cases to the fed

Kill Rats and Mice
and Save Food

In these days when the high cost Of
living pinches nearly every home,
no waste should be overlooked. One Of
the most fragrant and the most easily
prevented, is the destruction Of food
by rats One rat will often do a hun
dred dollars damage OF food and prop
erty in a single night, and careful
estimate gives over $200,000.G00 as the
value Of foodstuffs destroyed annually
by these pests. ENterminate them with
Stearns' Electric Paste and save this
enormous loss of food. A small box
of Stearns' Electric Paste costs only
a few cents and is usually enough to
completely rid the house OF rats and
mice: also effective against cock
reaches and waterbugs.

Stomach Dead
Man Still Lives

People who suffer from sour stom-
ach, fermentation of food. distress at
ter eating and indigestion, and seek
relief in large chunks Of artificial d1-
gesters, are killing their stomachs by
inaction just as surely as the victim
of morphine is deadening and injuring
beyond repair every nerve in his body.
What the stomach of every sufferer
from indigestion needs is a good pre-
scription that will build up his stom-
ach, put strength, energy and elastf
city into it, and make it sturdy enough
TO digest a hearty meal without art1-
fetal aid.
The best prescription for indigestion
ever written is sold by druggists ev-
erywhere, and is rigidly guaranteed
to build up the stomach and cure indi-
gestion, or money back.
