cTo BE coNTINUEDJ
FIREARMS ARE NOT FRAGILE
Shotgun Properly Cared For Is Said to
Be Good for Hundred
Thousand Shots.

question frequently asked is, "How
long will my shotgun last?" or "How
many shots can fire from my rife or
revolver before II wears out?"
1t is impossible for anyone to say
just how long a firearm will last. he
cause II is impossible to tell before
hand what kind of care 1t is going TO
get, and the care it receives makes all
the difference between few hundred
shots and lifetime of faithful service.
Assuming that they are cleaned care
fully and consistently a good shotgun
will show practically no falling off in
pattern or penetration for probably
well over 100000 shots. A 22-caliber
rifle and a revolver are both good for
10000 or 10000 shots. A high-power
rifle is good for about 5000 to 5000
shots, usually the higher the velocity
the shorter the life of the barrel.
Judging from these facts il would
appear that the higher the pressure
developed by the explosion the more
wear on the barrel. for the shotgun de-
velops the least pressure and the high
power rifle the most.
A rather interesting sidelight on this
question Of barrel life is a determine
ton Of the actual length OF time TO
which a good shotgun barrel is sub.
jected TO the force and burning effect
Of the powder charge during its life
time. If 10000 shots are fired from a
shotgun the inside of the barrel Is &C
tually exposed to the fame of the
powder charge for about four minutes.

The kidneys are the most overworked
organs of the human body, and when they
fail in their work of filtering out and
throwing off the poisons developed in the
system. things begin to happen.
One of the first warnings is pain or stiff
ness in the lower part of the back; highly
cOloEed urine; loss of appetite; indiges-
ton; irritation, or even stone in the blad-
der. These symptoms indicate a condition
that may lead 20 that dreaded and fatai
malady, Bright's disease, for which there
is said to be no cure.
Do not delay a minute. At the first in
dication of trouble in the kidney, liver,
bladder or urinary organs start taking
Gold Medal HARLEM Oil Capsules, and
save yourself before it is too late. Instant
treatment Is necessary in kidney and blad-
der troubles. A delay is often fatal.
You can almost certainly find immediate
relief in Gold Medal HARLEM Oil Capsules.
For more than 200 years this famous prep
aratlou has been an unfalling remedy for
all kidney, bladder and urinary troubles.
1t is the pure, original HARLEM Oil your
great-grandmother used. About two cap
sules each day will keep you toned up and
feeling fine. Get it at any drug store, and
If It does not give you almost immediate
relief, your money viii be refunded. Be
sne you get the GOLD MEDAL brand.

earlier. Mr. Stage had evidently re-

And here Carolyn May and Prince
were at Mr.. Parlow's carpenter shop.

part is impending. We know 1t and
of its extent. We face it with that
knowledge, and with the steadfast
courage of our seamen 1t will be met.
Praise for Aircraft.
What your ships of all classes are
doing on and under the surface your
aircraft in no less degree are accom-
plishing in their own element. and.
among all the instruments of war
which are combining TO make the life
of the undersea pirates intolerable,
there Is none which causes them great
er anxiety and discontinue than the
constantly vigilant aircraft.
So far | have given very brief out
line uf what your various units are en-
gagged upon, but in order to gauge the
fruits of their labors just bear this
one fact in mind: During the last three
months seven American soldiers and
their equipment have arrived In Eu-
rope every minute of the day and
night, and their maintenance on top of
that! That is the formidable fact
which the enemy has to face, and that
is the result of the exercise of sea
power by the alliance. to which the
American naval forces are so ably
contributing.
1t is a great tribute TO American
shipbuilding and to your enterprise
that YOU are now able TO carry more
than half of these troops in your own
vessels built in your own country, and
manned by your own men. Thanks
to the mercantile marine of the al
lies. with their skill. unfiinching cour-
age and pertlnacity which we cannot
adequately extol. we have been able
TO maintain those sea communications
without which our man power, our
munitions and our food supplies would
have been disintegrated and para
lyzed
The record of the seaborne traffic of
the alliance is the clearest proof of
the value of sea power about which
your great naval historian, Rear Ad-
miral Mahan, wrote SO emphatically
and prephetically, but this result has
only been attained by the splendid her
oism and endurance of the seafaring
men, whether of the fighting forces or
of the mercantile marine.
To have had the opportunity Of Wis
iting your country I'm the great war is
the very greatest honor and pleasure
to Vice Admiral Duff and myself, as
representing the British board of nd
miralty, and IL is an added pleasure TO
us that we have come at a time when
the allied forces are winning all along
the line, and when we are reaping the
fruits of the sound naval strategy and
the overwhelming sea power of the al
! lied nations.
! cannot close this very brief APP
probation of the magnificent work
which is being undertaken by the
United States naval forces operating
in European waters without express
ing on behalf of the board of admiralty
and the royal navy our affection, in
many cases personal. and our admira
ton for your officers and men who.
side by side with us end the other al
lies. are keeping open the sea COM
