Chicago, Aug. 28.-While patriotic
Chicago looks on expectantly for devel'
opments following the testing Of the
virus of Germanism which threat
ems to disrupt the Chicago Symphony
orchestra, and recalls with satisfac-
ton the fights that resulted in the rip
ping Of the "kaiser page" from the

the German language from its super

school riculum, there arrives In this
Hun-fghting city letter from an
American artillery captain, depicting
the German menace as few have de-
picted it since the rape Of Belgium or
the Lusitania murders.
The letter tells the story OF the

NAVY BONE DRY.
Cedar RAPIDS Gazette,)

tCeQar RAPIDS GaZette.)
A supplementary order issued by
Secretary Daniels makes the navy
and the entire naval establishment,
in the United States, it's territories
or wherever the men may be on duty,
bone dry. No one, except regular
physician or medical officer of the
United States, may sell, give or by
any method supply an officer or en-
listed man of the navy with any al
coholic liquor. Beers, ale and wines
are included. Percentage of alcohol
is not named, and as a consequence
the near beers and home brews are
also under the ban.
There is point to this arrangement.
There has never been a draft for men
for the navy. The ranks have always
been filled and are filled now by
volunteers. The boys know that they
are volunteering for an experience
with iron-clad prohibition, Enforced
with all the rigor at the command of
lSecretay Josephus Daniels, which
lisconsiderable. The rule has not de-
tered young men from enlisting. The
| training stations are full. The ships
are manned. Crews await launchings
There is not drunken man in the
navy. The odor of liquor is not to be
detected on board ship. The land

What change from the days when
rum was regularly rationed.
I So far as officers in army or navy
are concerned, respect for their res
pons ible positions should have deter
red them from in diligence in intoxi-
cating liquors.
| Secretary Daniels is 10 great SER
lmoniZer. He acts. He puts ideas in
|practice. He is supposed to rule his
department and no one should doubt
that he does not rule. No one will
lexpect the navy to be less efficient
under prohibition. A sober navy has
transported an army Of 1,450,000 to
France without the loss of man OF
damage to ship.

An agreement has been reached for

OUR OPPORTUNITY.

1t may be news to some to know
that already Americans are gathering
up the favOrably located lands OF
Nicaragua, and especially is this true
along the Atlantic coast.
Thousands of acres Of rich agri-
cultural lands convenient to trans
portation have already changed hands
and could now be resold at a hand
some profit. Two Of the greatest
tropical fruit companies in the world
have purchased immense tracts on
the East Coast of Nicaragua in Or
der to secure some Of this land so
we'll adapted to the growth Of tropi-
cal products Of the Caribbean Sea.
The general objection met with in
talking invest tment in Nicaragua is
the vast distance separating that
country from our own. AS a rule our
vague idea of geography has led us
to believe that Nicaragua is too dis
tantly situated to admit of wise in
vestments. If you will turn to your
map you will find that country to be
nearer Chicago than is either San
Francisco or Los Angeles and near
er Minneapolis than is San Diego.
In other words, it is on the Carib-
bean Sea, three hundred miles north
of the Panama Canal Zone and eleven
hundred miles south of New Orleans,
from which city lines of ocean steam
ers ply each week in the year. From
New York steamers sail practically
every day for Central American
ports The opening Of the great
canal has largely increased the num-
Der of vessels competing for the Mic
araguan trade.

CATTLE.

Stock-raising will be very i'm
portant industry in the country. Cat
tie may be purchased in Nicaragua
for from $12 to $14 (gold) each Tin the
interior districts) and they will weigh
from 1900 lbs. to 1900 lbs. each. These
will easily dress more than 500 lbs.
on the average. Dressed cattle are to-
day selling in the Eastern markets
for from $S to $12 per hundred pounds,
and averaging them at 500 lbs. car
cass would net in the Eastern market
not less than from $40 to $50. These
same cattle can be delivered dressed
in Eastern markets (shipped from the
East Coast of Nicaragua at something
under $25 per head. Thus it will be
seen that there are substantial profits
to be made in stock-raising in Nicara-
qua.

making very good showing of their
work. Some excellent fields of corn
have been visited and those that are
raising pigs will have something to
make the fair visitors sit up and take
notice. We anticipate that the exhibit
at the county fair will be made up in
general of spring pigs which weigh on
an average Of two hundred pounds.

THE MAKING OF 4 FAMOUS
 MEDICINE
How Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound Is Prepared For
 Woman's Use.

4 visit to the laboratory where this successful remedy is made impresses even the casual lOoker-on with the reli- ability, accuracy, skill and cleanliness which attends the making of this great medicine for woman's ills.
 Over $50, GOO pounds of various herbs are used annually and all have to be gathered at the season of the year when their natural juices and medicinal sub stances are at their best.
 The most successful solvents are used to extract the medicinal properties from these herbs.
 Every utensil and tank that comes in contact with the medicine IS sterilized and as final precaution in cleanliness the medicine is pasteuriZed and sealed in sterile bottleS.
 It is the wonderful combination of roots and herbs, together with the skill and care used in its preparation which has made this famous medicine so successful in the treatment of female ills.
 The letters from women who have been restored to health by the use of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Ccm- pound which we are continually pub fishing attest to it's virtue.
