The Waldo County
Veterans Meeting.

The Waldo County Veterans Associa-
ton held their monthly meeting March

with the President in the chair. Records
were read by the Secretary and adopted.
Committee on time and place of next
meeting, Comrades Crockett, Fletcher
and Knowlton, reported Belfast and report
was accepted. Dinner call was sounded
and recess taken to satisfy the inner
man-Swanville is noted for good feed
ers-this occasion they outdid them
sel7 es, scarce ever, if ever, did we get
better repast. After the smoke talk the
meeting again convened, opening by
singing Our Flag, by the audience, Miss
Doris Nickerson at the piano; prayer by
Louis kingsbury; address of welcome by
Miss Doris Nickerson with the request
that it be printed in The journal. 1t

More About Machine Guns.

Especial Correspondence of The Journal.];
editorial on the Browning" gun and
thought the readers of The Journal might
care to read few more facts which are
not generally known about machine guns.
While it is true that only 100 light
"Brownings" have just been sent to the
army, this is not all that has been done.
For the past six months the production
per week of the Vickers gun shooting U.
S. ammunition has been larger than that
of Great Britain, in spite of the fact that
they had lead of over two years to get
into their stride in their manufacture.
The production of the above guns by US
has been within the last month increased
fifty per cent. From the above you can
see that at the present time we are turn
ing out at least so per cent more machine
guns than England. Our boys lover
there will not lack for heavy type ma
chine guns this spring
A machine gun is the most destructive
instrument of war devised by man and
for this reason, whenever one can be To-
Gated by the enemy, it is destroyed by
artillery fire. Most persons think that
line trenches where the enemy can be
seen but the latest practice is to also use
them in indirect fire to create ''barrage"
similar to the field guns. Artillery fire is
expensive while for the same amount of
money a machine gun can discharge a
good many rounds.
The Browning gun is the best gun in
the world. By this we do not mean that
1t will shoot any truer, faster or harder
than the Vickers but, it is simpler to
disassemble and put together, can be
manufactured in less time than any other
gun and in all tests has functioned per-
fectly. In one test of firing 80, 800 rounds
it had three stoppages, due to defective
ammunition, of total of less than three
seconds. This test was to see how the
functioning mechanism would stand up,
for after 10000 to 1000 rounds the bar
rel is worn out and must be replaced with
a new one. The above test was for the
heavy type.
The light type of Browning does not look
unlike an ordinary Remington automatic
rifle. The cartridges are in magazines of
twenty, similar to Colts automatic Dis
tol. One shot at a time can be fired OF
the whole 20 can be shot in 2 IL seconds,
all at the will of the gunner On &C.
count of the light weight of Is pounds il
has a distinct advantage for aggressive
work over any gun now used. This light
gun will doubtless replace the Lewis CUR
in time in both navy and army, except
perhaps tor air craft work The advant-
age the latter has for air work is that il
carries Al rounds of ammunition in it,
drum to the 20 of the Browning.
Yours very truly,
KARL MACDONALD.

Catarrhal Deafne S Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure catarrhal
deafness, and that is by constitutional
remedy. Catarrhal Deafness is caused by
an infamed condition of the mucous lining
of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube
is nflamed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely
closed, Deafness is the result. Unless the
inflammation can be reduced and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever. Many cases of
deafness are caused by catarrb, which is
an inflamed condition of the mucous sur
faces Halls Catarrh Medicine acts thru
the blood on the mucous surfaces of the
system.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Catarrhal Deafness that can
not be cured by Halls Catarrh Medicine.
