CARE FOR SOLDIERS FEET
Army Authorities Particular That
There Shall Be Little Trouble
in That Respect.

'sHow is Uncle Sam able to raise suf-
we might ask just now, when the
prices of shoes are soaring almost
above the average purse.
This question was, however, an
swered at a recent meeting In Allan
tic City Of the American Leather Chem
lists association, which was also at
tended by several members Of the
American Chemical society. Their dis
cussion on this subject proved most
conclusively that the boys in service
are being provided with the finest quail
icy leather In their army shoes and
that it is surpassed by none.
Another interesting fact developed
In their discussion-that the army
shoes are made with the flesh side Of
the hide outside. In this way grease
may be readily applied to the leath-
or from time to time in order to keep
il waterproof.
1t was most gratifying to learn that
In every first-aid kit the soldier carries
a tube of paste to apply to the feet In
order to prevent trench sores, which
were so common in the early days of
the war. These sores are caused by
the alkaline water in the trenches, but
If the feet are promptly protected by
an inert grease 40 such bad effects
result.
Thus we see that Uncle Sam is deal
ing with the question of the army shoe
from the soldiers viewpoint of COM
fort and protection, as well as from his
own standpoint of the wearing quail
ties. The government recognizes that
the soldiers feet are his best friend
and It is doing everything to help to
keep them so.

Conan DOYLE a, a Doctor.

Asked recently why he gave up the
practice Of medicine, Sir Conan Doyle
said the work was too hard, and to
prove 1t he went on to tell of his first
case, says an exchange.
Called in the middle of bitter win
ter's night to a house three miles
away, where a child was reported to
be seriously i'll, the creator of "Sher-
lock Holmes" tramped through the
rain and sleet only to find the place
in darkness, and bolted and barred
into the bargain.
He knocked and rang again and
again. No answerl At last head
stuck itself gingerly out Of third
story window.
BE you DR.. Doyle? it said.
"Yes." said Doyle, 'let me In"
"Oh, no need to come in now" said
the man. "The child's all right
sleeping quite peacefully"
Doyle buttoned his coat and started
of homcward. But suddenly the win
dow was raised again and the same
voice cried: Doctor! say, doctor"
He hurried back, thinking that the
child had suddenly taken turn for
the worse.
"Well, what do you want?' he asked.
The voice made answer: "Ye won't

SAYS BERLIN IS FORTIFIED
Vast Defense Work Has Been Built,
According to Statement Made
by Swede.

Monster guns, hidden in pits 10 and
80 feet deep. and 125 to $50 feet apart,
form a labyrinth of defenses around
Berlin, according to John Erickson,
native of Sweden. For five years, be-
ginning with 1907. Erickson says he
worked on the outer defenses Of Ber-
lin. and prior to that time worked for
the Motla gun works Of Sweden, turn
ing out heavy ordnance for Germany.
Guns surrounding Berlin, according
to Erickson, range from % to AZ
inches in diameter. Many are of the
larger type. Some are over 200 feet
long. Their foundation is set in seven
feet of solid granite, sunk In the bot
tom of the pits In which the guns are
hidden, surrounding the city. Two
circles of these guns surround Ber-
lin. One is seven miles from the cfty's
outskirts-the other is IL. A screen
roof is now laid over these guns. A
layer Of two feet of dirt covers the
top. Grass, trees and even the sea-
sons crops are planted over them.
Electricity controls the huge guns.
Ericsson says. When the guns are
needed the roof may easily be thrown
off and the guns hoisted to position.

KIDNEY TROUBLE NOT
EASILY RECOGNIZED
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected

An examining physician for one Of the
prominent life insurance companies, in an
interview of the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
SO many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is SO COM
mon to the American people, and the large
majority of those whose applications are
declined do not even suspect that they
have the disease.
Judging from report. from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root ID
soon realized. It stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
We find that Swamp Root is strictly
an herbal compound and we would ad-
wise our readers who feel in need Of such a
remedy to give it trial. 1t is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
medium and large.

Paper Fabrics in Norway.

The Nydalens company, one of Nor
ways leading textile manufacturers,
has for some time been experimenting
with paper textiles, and the results
have been so good that its factory will
soon produce these new fabrics on a
large scale, according to commercial
agent report from Copenhagen. They
consist of Is per cent paper and %
per cent cotton and are said to be soft
and warm; a little heavier than ordi-
nary cotton goods and not quite so
strong, but cheaper. They should be
especially suited, says the Norwegian
