But for their timely discovery by

Captain Newman was fishing on the
edge Of the Gulf Stream when he saw
a large government boat towing a
plane, with which it was having con-
siderable difficulty, and he offered to
take the job off the boats hands on
account of his lighter draught and
knowing that the large boat would
have trouble in the bay. The offer
was accepted. One of the pontoons

would be more comfortable and con-

beginning of the Spanish-American
war, was later used by both Beers and
British in South Africa and by many

Why Do All Doctors
Prescribe CalOmel?

OF all the medicines in the world
doctors prescribe calomel most often
and depend upon it most universally
There must be good and sufficient
reason-what is it?
II you will study the doctors books
you will find that the medical author
tiles prescribe calomel for almost ev-
cry disease. The reason is that cal
omel is the greatest and only thor.
ough system purifier. 1t makes the
liver active, drives out the poisons
from the stomach, bowels and kidneys
and thereby purifies the blood. Gallo
mel puts the entire system in the
most favorable condition for Nature
to exercise her recuperative power
Your doctor will tell you that drugs
merely assist Nature. That is why he
prescribes calomel so often
The new kind of calomel, called
"Calotabs,' is refined and purified
from all of the nauseating and dan
gerous qualities of the old style cal
omel and is rapidly taking it's place

London, June 13.-George Tubou
II, of Tonga, whose death is an
nounced, was the last of the indie
pendent kings of the Pacific islands.
He succeeded his great-grandfathe in
1893. At the time he was a college
boy of q, at school, in New Zealand
fonder of cricket and rowing than of
the science of government. Physical
ly, however, he filled the post of King
to perfection, being over feet in
height and weighing nearly 275
pounds.
During his period as King he obsti-
nately refused to keep within his Of
fetal income of $4,000 year, and he
always succeeded in inducing the
British treasury officials to endorse
his overdrafts His promises to re-
pay these advances were heartfelt at
the time, but never materialized into
anytnlng SUBSTANTIAL.
For the first eight years of his reign
he refused to marry, and he had many
quarrel with his chiefs and mobiles
on this subject. After throwing over
the princesses whom they picked for
him one after another, he made his
own choice, offending the nobility by
picking out girl of the common peo-
pie named Lavinia, whose daughter
now succeeds to the throne. The no.
bility boycotted the King for a long
time after the marriage
! In 1900, when the British sent a
mission to Tonga to negotiate a treaty
which would place the islands more
securely under the protection of the
British crown, King George appointed
AN easy-going old gentleman as his
'pleni-potentiary, but conducted all the
negotiations himself. He made notes
of the proceedings in shorthand, and
prepared draft clauses of the treaty
on his own typewriter. He received
the British commissioners with a
guard of honor consisting of his en-
tire standing army of twenty men
dressed in artillery uniforms. They
fired the proper salute from field
guns and then doubled back to the
palace to parade as infantry, while
their brass band played the Tonga ma.
tional anthem.
/ On King Georges visit to the Brit
ish ship which housed the treaty
commissioners, he appeared in tht
uniform of general of the Tongar
army, his breast covered with decor
ations. He explained these by say.
ing that, as no foreign sovereign hat

Paris, June 13-Lieut. Rene Fonck,
the young French lace of aces,
fought three distinct battles in the
air when, on May S, he brought down
SIX airplanes In one day. His record
never has been equalled in aviation.
All three engagements were fought
within two hours In all Fonck freq
only 56 shots, an average of little
more than nine bullets for each en-
envy brought down; an extraordinary
record in view of the fact that avia-
tors often fire hundreds of rounds
without Gripping their opponent.
The first fight, in which Lieut.
Fonck brought down three German
machines, lasted only minute and
half and the young Frenchman fired
only twenty-five shots.
Although Lieut.. Fonck is officially
credited with bringing down AZ ene-
my airplanes in all, military aviators
believe that he has sent down at least
go machines. He is "a years old, is
cool in battle and handles both ma
lchine-g gun and airplane with great
skill.
Fonck was leading two other COM
Ipanions on a patrol in the Moreuil-
Montdidier sector on May 5 when the
French squadron met three German
two-seated airplanes coming toward
them in arrow formation. Signaling
to his companions, Lieut. Fonck dived
at the leading German <plane, and,
with few shots sent it down in
flames Fonck turned to the left and
the second Hun followed in an effort
to attack him from behind, but the
Frenchman made a quick turn above
him and with five shots sent the sec.
0nd Hun down to death. Ten seconds
had barely elapsed between the two
victories.
The third Hun headed for home
but when Lieutenant Fonck apparent
lily gave up the chase and turned back
towards the French lines, the German
went after him and was flying paral-
lei and a little below, when Fonck
made quick turn, drove straight al
him and sent him down within halt
mile of the spot where his two COM
rades hit the earth.
This ended the first engagement
Several German observation bal
looms had been brought down by
French aviators. Lieut., Fonck re,
turned to his camp and waited three
quarters of an hour for the Germans
to learn of that fact and send theil
chaser planes to the scene of action
Then he, with two companions wen
