A Chinese Feud.

The Peking Daily News tells of a
curious enmity between two wealthy
families living near Sining The cause
is dispute regarding the limits of
piece of land. What is considered
fortune in China has been spent in
litigation-sums exceeding many times
the value of the property. The people
Of the surrounding country have taken
sides with one of the families, which
fact, the Daily News thinks, indicates
that the other side is in the wrong.
In evaporation, the litigant carried
the case on appeal to Lanchow and a
deputy was sent from the city to Sim
ing to hear final arguments. Before
the magistrate arrived, however, an
alteration between the litigants Oc-
Cured 1t developed into a gun fight,
in which the head Of the family that
had appealed to Lanchow was killed
by member Of the other family of
whom eight have been arrested. "This
means feud handed down for genera
tiOns to come" concludes the Daily
News.

YOU NEED NOT SUFFER WITH
BACKACHE AND RHEUMATISM

For centuries GOLD MEDAL HARLEM
Oil has been standard household remedy
for kidney, liver, bladder and stomach
trouble, and all diseases connected with
the urinary organs. The kidneys and
bladder are the most important organs of
the body. They are the filters, the puri-
6ers of your blood. If the poisons which
enter your system through the blood and
stomach are not entirely thrown out by
the kidneys and bladder you are doomed.
Weariness, sleeplessness, nervousness,
dependency, backache, stomach trouble,
headache, pain in loins, and lower abdO-
men, gall-stones, gravel, difficulty when
u'inating, cloudy and bloody urine, rheu-
matism,' sciatica, lumbago, all warn you
to look after your kidneys and bladder.
GOLD MEDAL HARLEM Oil Capsules are
what you need.
They are not ''patent medicine nor

The Versatile Barber.

lear the railway station. On one side
lie had barber chair and necessary

managed to make living.
One day travelling salesman went
ntO the shack, threw himself into the
barber chair and asked that he be
shaved so he could catch a train that
was due in fifteen minutes.
The proprietor looked across the
shack and shook his head.

Big AIR DRAGONS
Craft Of the Future win Be
Armored 0readnaughtS.
Winged Fighters Promise to Be De
VeIoped Much the Game as That Of
Naval Construction.

The fighting airplanes of the future
will grow larger and larger They will
soon become the dreadnaught of the
air. The development, writes Wash.
lngtOn correspondent. will be much the
same as that of naval construction.
This is. the prediction Of a govern
ment expert. 1t is based on the brief
report from London telling of the con-
struction by Germany of metal-inclOsed
battleplaneS. which Germany Is build
ing to meet Americans in the air.
"FrOm the outset have been con.
vinced hat the United States should
devote much of It's genius and con-
structlve ability to the development Of
a powerful fighting airplane," he said.
Germany may be building a sort Of
aerial armOr-clad. but the kaiser win
have no monopoly in this respect.
"My judgment Is that development
Of an effective fighting force In the air
VIII follow much the same line as naval
construction. In modern 1pavies. In fact,
In nll navies of history, the heavy ship
Of the line, which could take and give
the most punishment was the backbone
of the fleet. This will be true of the
airplane flOtilla Of the future.
"All Of the allied nations now are
building much heavier battleplanes.
This tendency will increase. At all
times there must be light and excep-
tionally fast scout machines, Just as
we must have scout cruisers also.
Large and speedy battle cruisers also
may be development of the immedI.
ate future, but the slower and more
stable machine with real punch, the
airpIane that can give and receive a
maximum of punishment and still re-
main aloft must be the backbone of
the aerial fighting forces Of the fu-
ture."
The most powerful airplanes which
have been seen In this country are the
Caproni biplNnes and trlplanes Mt the
Langley flying field, Newport News,
Va. The big Handley Paige battle
planes turned out by Great Britain also
have great carrying power and are
capable of large measure Of destruc-
tive work. 1t is predicted that these
powerful flying machines will soon give
place to planes of far greater capacity

who never before have paid an income

who will be sent to aid him, it will not
be difficult for him to ascertain the
amount Of his net income.
