SPRINGFIELD RIFLE i ! :
GREATEST IN WORLD
U. s. MARINE WINS CHAMPION.
SHIP AT THE OLYMPIC
GAMES.

The United States standard Spring
field rife proved at the Olympic games
that it was the most accurate rifle
in the world.
In competition with rifles of every
conceivable type and pattern, with no
restrictions as to telescope sights,
special barrels and other accessories
which make for accuracy, Sergeant
Morris Fisher, U. S. Marines, of
Youngstown, Ohio, firing the U. S.
magazine rife, won the individual ri,
|. fe%championship of the world at Ant
werp, Belgium, last month .....
Ninety crack shots from thirteen
different nations competed in the 800
meter free rifle event, and Sergeant
Fisher pulled up under the wire with
a score of 996 out of a possible 1880,
which was seven points in the lead Of
his nearest rival, Larsen, of Denmark,
according to advices received recent
ly by Capt. Harry X. Pickett, of the
Office of the seas-soldiers at Memphis,
Tenn
This is the first time in history that
this shooting classic has ever been
won by a competitor using the stand
ard military rif1e>of any country. 1t
is also the first time it has ever been
won by a member of an American
team.

from Hoptown, KY, and her chum

search of justice-justice was what

they entered protest, vigorous protest
Azalia proceeded to the Office of
County Court Clerk Lipscomb to
whom she confided the nature of her
visit.
1t appears that=Azalia and Leslie
had been performers with the Great
United Shows, and for so much per
had they tripped the light fantastic
in the Old Plantation Show-but &C.
cording to the story Azalia told, the
manager of the Great United was "all
peeved up" and mad refused to pay
either her of Leila for terpsicorian
services rendered, and she bewailed
the fact that the strong arm of the
law did not reach forth and 'tach the
exhibition company, in payment for
her professional services.
After considerable time, spent in a
discussion of the merits of the case,
and into which Judge Orr and other
legal lights were called, claimants fl.
nally decided il would be better to
take civil action against the manage
ment of the Great United, and 1t ap-
pears likely that Azalia and Leila will
get at least q part of the $20.50 now
due them.

and assimilative organs which make
food into blood, bone and muscle. The
blood in turn carries nourishment to
every portion Of the body. Without
nourishment all vital organs would
soon starve to death-the same as you
would. They can only receive nourish-
ment through the blood-in no other
way. What then is their predicament
when food is not properly digested and
issimilated. The blood becomes thin
and watery and the vital organs lose
strength because there is not sufficient
rich, red blood to build them up.
You owe it to yourself to try Pepgen
if you don't feel right. 1t is different
from anything you have ever tried.

Whooping cough is the mean
est" disease that childhood is
heir to. While rarely fatal in
itself, except to children under
two years of age, still it hangs on
so long-the coughing paroxysms
are so violent, preventing proper
sleep and dgestion-that when
the disease does disappear it
leaves the child weakened and
run down. In addition the
violent coughing racks and strains
the air passages and after re-
covery this irritation frequently
remains.
During this period of conval-
escence the child should be most
carefully watched until full
strength is restored and the air
passages regain their normal tone
A prominent authority even goes
so far as to say-"There is more
criminal neglect in connection
with whooping cough than with
any other disease"
While the disease is active,
Vick's VapoRub usually helps to
lessen the violence of the cough
ing, but it is during conval-
escence that Vicks is most val
liable.

There seemed to be constant
dripping into my throat from the back
of my nose. Upon arising in the
morning my head and nose would be
all stopped up, and it would take
some time to get them cleared. My
breath most all the time was foul, and
my breathing was heavy and difficult.

Dreco acts directly on catarrhal

affected parts, where its tonic action
is soon felt, giving prompt benefit,
and, if the use is continued, often af-
