Latest Solution" of the Cyclops Myster

AN EXPLANATION Of the loss Of
"a the naval collier Cyclops appears in
the columns of a Washington pub
lication called the Pathfinder. The ac-
count purpOrts to come from a reader
of the paper who does not reveal the
source of his information.
The Cyclops, with 293 men and a
cargo Of manganese ore on board,
steamed out Of Bridgetown, British
Barbados, on March A, 1918, bound
for New York. The account states
that off the Barbados at that time,
headed toward the coast of the United
States, was the German yacht-cruiser
Waiblingen, camouflaged as a mer-
chairman flying the American flag and
displaying the name Estate of Maine"
This vessel was loaded with gas shells
and had come from Poia, Austria, to
act as mother. ship off >the Atlantic
coast to a fleet of German subma-
rines. The gas shells were to have
been distributed to the submarines,
and these craft were to have thrown
the shells into American coast cities,
AT midnight on March 4 the captain
of the Waiblingen made out the lights
of the Cyclops and managed to learn

L You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
Of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is plain-the article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says "Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root, a
preparation I have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has so large a
SALE"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root is due to the fact,
20 many people claim, that it fulflls al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments; corrects uri-
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.
You may receive a sample bottle of
Swamp-Root by Parcels Post. Address
DR.. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y,
and enclose ten cents; also mention this
paper. Large and medium size bottles

He discloses that it Is more than
likely that a means Of Identifying
yellow fever has been found through
the inventions and experiments Of Doc

This distinguished .bacteriOlogist,

which has proved effective in protect

That the 1921 campaign will be
necessary is apparent. Yellow fever
was prevalent at all the principal
ports on the coast of Mexico this fall,
and to prevent its possible spread to
the United States the public health
service placed quarantine restrictions
against all travellers from these ports.
