Ever since a notorious republican
advised in the program to take the
presidency from Samuel J. Tilden in
1876 to "claim everything" the re-
publican leaders have been acting as
claim agents for the party, hoping
to win by claims what they lose at
the polls. They are at it as usual in
the present campaign and making
all sorts Of absurd claims with the
hope of fooling the unwary. Demo.
Gratis will, however. pay no attention
to them, but go right along and roll

misunderstanding stories of ma

Maj. H. Corbett Smith, speaking at the

dogs love the men in the navy.
During a battle with aircraft, when
bombs were dropping all about the
sea and a destroyer was running
around, taking shots the best she
could at the tantalizing foe, a signal
was shot over to the flagship:

the dog was picked up.
A seaman whose wound ~necessitated
the amputation of a leg during the

of his anatomy, said:
"Where's my leg? It's got all my
money in the stocking"
Gardeners, sculptors, architects,

of this ~nondescript group was put to
work with a paint pot. He was mess

work and said:
"FOr heavens sake, what kind Of a

"Well, l usually exhibit in the Royal

Another Jutland battle anecdote was
told as follows:
A destroyer reported certain minor
defects" Those defects were that she
could neither steam, signal nor steer.

After the trial Of this last case ii
November 1917 MI. johnson served
another summons on Mr.. Mer1ick
making the fourth lawsuit between
these two parties, involving this same
matter: This last summons, however,
was also set aside by Judge Kneeshaw
on the ground that MI. Merrick was
here attending court as a party and
witness in an action in this state at
the time he. was served with the sum-
mons and that he was immune from
service and that the summons there
fore be quashed.
Four different suits upon the same

sometimes become.

for Mr.. johnson in this litigation and

SAMM|ES HAVE
GOOD RIFLES

: American troops are armed with a
faster firing and more accurate rifle
than used by the Germans, according
TO u expert designers, manufacture
ers, and marksmen, says a statement
by the Bureau of Ordinance. One
military critic and writer claims the
German Mauser does not permit the
most skilled user to get more than so
per cent of the firing speed of the
modified Enfield adopted for the U.
S. service.
The superiority claimed for the Am
erican weapon is supported on three
counts: Quicker firing as a result of
bolt-handle design, easier and quicker
sighting as a result Of sight design,
greater accuracy of bullet fight re-
sulting from bullet design and greater
mechanical accuracy Of chamber and

In regard to cooking, the Royal Army
Medical Corps confess to an inferiority
in British skill. As compared with
the French, we are a nation OF bad
cooks. The most strenuous efforts are
being made, and have been made for

army cooking. 1t Is very much better

1t still will not stand well in compare

London.-ChlOrine gas, which the

titheses Of this war. Socrates in pris-

Saves Thousands Of Lives.
The effort to secure pure water for
the British armies in the field makes
one Of the fine stories Of the war.
1t has saved very many thousands Of
lives by practically banlshing water
borne disease from our principal front
At the outset of the war the British
Royal Army Medical Corps declared in
Its mind all water supplies to be sus-
pect. They were held guilty of infec-
ton until they were proved to be in.
nocent. A fool proof system of max
Ing unwhOlesome water safe by chlor-
ination was designed. Then ali that
remained to be done was to provide
the machinery and chemicals and to
safeguard against carelessness. The
first was matter of supplies, the
second of discipline. Both were equal
to the demand made upon them, and
on every front now the general rule
is that the men are drinking safe wa
ter.
Chloride Of lime was at first the
standby for water publication. 1t Is
efficacious, but water chlorinated with
1t is not very nice. Now chlorine gas
has taken its place at big water sup
ply points. 1t is just us efficacious and
1t does not taste the water to the same
extent. A simple test. in which nom
commissioned officer of every unit is
trained, tells how much chlorination
water will need to make it safe. If
very heavy chlOrination is needed, the
water after treatment can be dechlori-
mated and is left pure. The units wa
ter cart with its trained sanitary or.
derby has all the means of making wa
ter wholesome. But the system is fol-
lowed where possible of purifying a
main supply and issuing from that. In
case Of small isolated bodies Of men,
means of water publication are provid-
ed in the shape of tablets of acid sui
phate of soda. All the old troublesome
water purifying schemes, such as cam
dle-filters, which used to be constantly
breaking down, have been scrapped.
