MACHINES SPOUT SHELLS AND GUNS

Lucien l. Yeomans, nephew of Grover
Cleveland. He is the only machinist
the family has produced since the
days when one of his ancestors made
muskets for the Revolutionary army.
Four of the big planes are bein
built and one is almost finished, a

In THE SPRING

will be the great test of a life and death
struggle on the Western front. In the
everyday walks of life, it is the spring
time that brings i'll health. One of the
chief reasons why the rundown man
finds himself in a bad state of health IN
March or April, is because he has spent
nearly all his hours for the past four or
five months penned up within the walls
of house, factory or Office. 1t is the rea-
son for our diminished resistance-that
is, lack of outdoor life, coupled with
perhaps over-eating, lack of good exer-
else, insufficient sleep, and constipation.
In other words, we keep feeding the
furnace with food but do not take out
the ''clinkers," and our fire does not burn
brightly. Always keep the liver active.
There is nothing better for health than
taking an occasional mild laxative, per-
haps once a week; such a one as you
can get at any drug store, made up OF
May-apple, jalap, aloes, (sugar-coated,
tiny, easily taken J, which has stood the
test of fifty years of approval-namely,
DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. But, for
the Spring Fever" the general rundown
condition, the lack of ambition, the
''blues," one should take a course Of
treatment every spring; such a standard
tonic as Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery, now to be had in tablet form IN
sixty-cent vials. Watch the people go
plodding along the street. There's no
spring. no vitality. A vitalizing tonic such
as this vegetable extract OF DR.. Pierce's
gives you the power to force yourself into
action. The brain responds to the new
blood In circulation and thus you're ready
to make a fight against stagnation which
holds you in bondage. Try IT now! Don't

little pep" and laugh and live. Vim and
vitality are the natural out-pouring OF a
healthy body. 1t does not spring up in
night. Try this spring tonic, and you gain
the courage that comes with good health.

Monster Creations of Steel and
Concrete to Help Crush
Kaiser.
SOLVES The SPEED PROBLEM
Lathe Turns and Bores Shells With
Extreme Rapidity-Giant Pianer
First Metal Working Machine
Built of Concrete and Iron.

Ghicago.-While the entire country
has been clamoring for quicker action
in furnishing munitions for war pur-
poses, Chicagoans have been quietly
solving the problem of how to produce
the maximum number of big guns and
shells in the shortest possible time.
AS q result, Chicago has become an
active center for the manufacture of
machinery for smashing Won linden
burg's defenses.
The first of the newly invented
machines being made here is a lathe
which turns and bores shells with ex-
IRENE speed. The second is a machine
for boring big guns of any size or
length, and the third is a planer of
record-breaking size The planer is
built of concrete and iron and is the
first Woodworking machine that has
ever been built of that combination.
It is the biggest machine of its kind in
the world.
These machines are so unusual in
construction, and can be built with
such speed that the methods Of manu-
facture have attracted wide attention
among experts.
Saves Two Years Delay.
Machinery used for war purposes
formerly was made so slowly that it
would be impossible to supply with it
the present demand for quick con-
struction. An attempt to build the
big planer of iron, according to regu-
lation methods, would have meant a
delay of at least two years.
The machine for boring guns is so

can be placed in the mammoth planer.

weighs much more than 100000

PLANS TO DROP BOMBS

Madison, Wis.-'Tm going to
fly back to Berlin, where you
came from, dad, and drop
bomb somewhere near your old
home"
That's the way Lloyd A. Lehr-
bass. a student in the course in
journalism at the State Univer-
sity, informed his father that he
had enlisted in the aviation SER
vice of the United States Army.
The fathers reply to the mes
sage was:
God bless you, son. I'm
proud of you"
Lehrbass's father was born in
Berlin, but came to America with
his parents when only four years
old.

COMPANY TAKES OVER ROAD
Virginia Legislature Grants Charter to
Private Concern to Operate Old
Highway.

The legislature of Virginia has
granted a charter to an association
known as the Warrenton and Fairfax
Turnpike company, Inc, which will
take over the old Alexandria, Warren
ton pike, to grade and resurface the
road and operate it as tollroad until
the state wishes to take it back.
The charter states that when the
state does take it back it must pay
the stockholders the cost of the road,
with interest, minus dividends.

GOOD ROADS ARE ESSENTIAL
Better Highways Must Be Secured to
Make 1t Possible to Consolidate
the Schools.

Back of the whole country school
problem looms the road question. You
can't have better schools without bet
ter roads. Better roads must be Sc
cured to make it possible TO cent-alize
and consolidate the schools. Where
communities enjoy the advantages Of
good roads, commodious buildings have
been provided, more competent teach
ers have been employed and modern
facilities for teaching have been sup
piled at a minimum cost.
