*A -s*aTo drive a tank, handle the guns, and sweep over the enemy trenches, takes strong nerves, good rich blood, a good stomach, liver and kidneys. When the time comes, the man with red blood in his veins “is up and at it." He has iron nerves for hardships—a,n interest in his work grips him. That’s the way you feel when you have taken a blood and nerve tonic, made up of Blood’root. Golden Seal root. Stone root. Cherry bark, and rolled into a sugar-coated tablet and sold in stxty-cent vials by almost all druggists for past fifty, year# as Dr. Bierce’s Golden Medical Discovery. This tonic, in liquid or tablet form, la Just what you need this spring to ‘ give you vim, vigor and vitality. At the fag end of a hard winter, no wonder you feel “run-down," blue, out of sorts. Try this “Medical Discovery” of Dr. Pierce’s. Don’t wait! To-day is the day to begin! A little “pep,” and .you laugh and live. The best means to oil the machinery of the body, put tone into the liver, kidneys and circulatory system, is to first practice a good house-cleaning. I know of nothing better as a laxative than a vegetable pill made up of Mayapple, leaves of aloe and jalap. This is commonly sold by ail druggists as Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets, and should be taken at least once a weex to clear the twenty-five feet of intestines.

Proposed Seaplane Service.

The well-known Swedish airman. Captain Dahlbeck, recently proposed a scheme to the Swedish government for the establishment of a seaplane service between Sweden and England. The Idea is that the seaplane shall start and finish at the mouth of the Gulf of Finland. The seaplanes will carry both passengers and mall. The journey from Stockholm to Finland via Haparanda now takes three days and three nights. By means of seaplanes it will be possible for the journey to be cov,j ered in a few hours.

ALSACE-LORRAINE LOOTED BY HUNS

Spoliation of Two Provinces by Beast of Berlin’s Barbarians Continues. ART TREASURES TAKEN AWAY Objects of Priceless Historic and Artistic Worth Carried Off to Supply the Demand of the New Rich. With the French Armies.—Germany’s latest spoliation of Alsace-Lor-raine consisto of the carrying away from the latter of all the old antiquities and objects of art in which the two provinces for centuries have been unusually rich. The exodus of all these objects, many of priceless historic and artistic worth, across the borders of the two provinces and over into the big German cities would appear to constitute German’s final effort to squeeze out of Alsace and Lorraine’the last thing of value while she still has it within her power to do so. During the seventeenth century Alsace and Lorraine became very much a center for various lines of art and especially for the making of the various styles of furniture which have since won for themselves fixed places in the history and development of artistic furnishings. Because Alsace and Lorraine were the centers of the various trades, art crafts and manufacturers that were employed in the production of these historic styles of furniture, thousands of the best pieces remained In the two provinces where they became heirlooms In the native families. Treasures Forced on Market. It is largely this class of art objects that the Germans are now searching out and carrying off to Berlin, Munich and other German centers. Owing to the fact that the German authorities are now forcing the liquidation and sale of all homes and other properties owned by French citizens and often of Alsatians guilty only of French sympathies, thousands of these old pieces of furniture are being thrown onto the market in a manner that enables the German antiquarians to buy them at nominal figures. In other Instances, the antiquarians search out families that have been impoverished by the war and force them to part for a little ready money with objects of the greatest artistic value. This exploitation of the two provinces by German antiquity dealers appears to have reached such a proportion that even the German press, notably the Kleine Press of Frankfort have/printed articles pointing out the iniquitous practice. The Hagenauer Zeltung also details the scandal in the following manner: “The lovers of the art objects and antiquities of Alsace are becoming alarmed over the fate of all the beautiful and precious art treasures that are now actually leaving the country. From all parts of the German empire antiquarians are now arriving and gaining possession of hidden treasures from the very bottom of the two frontier provinces for the purpose of reselling them at fabulous prices to their clients at Berlin, Munich and elsewhere. “The hour is propitious for such purchases. Numerous auction sales and foreclosures offer favorable occasions for the acquisition of objects of real style. Many small middle-class families of the villages have need of money, and without too much insistence will give up a bureau of the Louis XVI style which has come down to them from a* grandmother and with what they can procure other articles more indispensable. “In the seventeenth century the art crafts were very flourishing in Alsace. The house furnishing which one encountered even in the smallest, most faraway villages were elegant

LONDON MILLINERY FOR CIVILIANS

The very latest line In hats for men and women is on display in London shops, and there is nothing fancy about them, for they are steel helmets, the sort worn by the troops in the trenches. These helmets are a defense against shrapnel, and already many men and women in London are wearing them because of air raids. \ ■

and solid. The styles which bear the names of the kings of France, and which, in the villages, were of fine and delicate workmanship, acquired in the country districts a character entirely original, rustic. It is these that the antiquarians are now after. “As a consequence while attending auction Rales they find time also to seek out the little Alsatian homes and find little difficulty by paying the country people in actual currency in acquiring the old family clocks, of which the majority no longer run, and the chairs with their magnificent backs worn by age. “The demand for objects of this sort has increased Immensely during the year that has Just finished. The real buyers of them are to be found in the large cities. For the most part they are the ‘new rich’ who have made their fortunes from the warqmd who from one day to the other find themselves transported from the counter to the top of German society and seek by all means to surround themselves with objects of ancient art.”

GUNFIRE IS MADE SURE BY PHOTOS

Transferred to Maps They Bring French Artillery to High Efficiency. PROCESS IS NEW INVENTION Every Enemy Object Accurately Recorded After Airmen’s Scouting of Flights—Maps Brought to Date Daily. French Front. —Accuracy and efficiency have been made possible for the French Artillery by the invention of an instrument that enables French mapmakers to locate almost exactly an object within the enemy lines which has been photographed from an airplane. In transferring to a map the photographed object, such as an enemy battery or munition dump, the margin of error is limited to less than five yards. This permits the Fren/h artillery to pour its shells with almost/ certain aim onto German gun emplacements, trench positions, cross-roads, cantonments, railroad lines, aviation camps and other enemy organizations. It is unnecessary for the gunner to have even a distant view of the object he is firing at Invention Makee Transfer Easy. To take a photograph of the enemy lines from a French airplane is an easy matter, but to transfer the objects photographed to their exact location on a map was for a time extremely difficult. This was due to the varying heights and angles from which the airplane observers made their photographs. By the invention of one of ‘the officers attached to the geographical section, this difficulty has been almost eliminated. Not only the aerial observation service but other methods of spotting German positions —more especially cannon and machine-gun emplacements—are utilized as aids to the work of the military map-maker. TJie flashes of guns as they are fired from the German side form one valuable adjunct to his work, but the most important qf all is the calculation of the speed of the sound of the firing charge of the German shells. This has been brought to a basis of such perfection that the guns can now be located with almost absolute accuracy. In fact, in recent operations it has proved that the system of observation by sound has given successful results in over 80 per cent of instances. In every army there is a branch of the geographical section and each is

Chicago. When' the lights were put out the other night in the four-story .department store of Moeller Brothers, here, the curtain went down on the first act of a stirring drama of patriotism. The Moeller brothers, John P. and Earl C. have offered up the milllon-dollar business as a sacrifice on the altar of loyalty to the nation in which their father and grandfather, both Germanborn, made their fortunes. Stock and buildings have been sold and the brothers now are awaiting dally the call to report for service In Uncle Sam’s army. For 40 years the Moellers, grandfather, father and sons, have been building-up the business, until last year its transactions totaled more than $1,000,000. Three and a half years ago the father died and the sons took business, which at the time of its liquidation had over 150 employees.

In a very few hours after the receipt of the day’s operations from all the various sources, dozens of copies of the corrected maps are ready for issue to all the staffs of corps, divisions and brigades comprised within the army concerned. Nothing is omitted from the maps—every church, house, chimney, mill, bridge, road, railroad, group of trees is marked, as well as every turn and twist of an enemy trench or system of barbed wire entanglements; every stream, ditch, bridge, ford, every path used by supply parties, every point of resistance, organized shell crater, lookout post is shown on the maps. Maps c-n a very large scale are given when an attack is about to be carried out, so that each officer and man participating may know exactly what 19 in front of him and what he may expect to encounter during his advance.

THESE BOYS

By ROBERT ADGER BOWEN of The Vigilantes. They are not heroes in their own esteem. These boys whose souls with heroism glow, Whose steadfast eyes so clearly see below The semblance and the glamor of the dream. Yet not the less upon their spirits gleam The joys and splendors of young life’s bright show, The ardent flame, the keen desire to know, And love’s right royal guerdon to redeem. Will they come back?, we ask with quivering breath. Nor dare to show the very dread we feel, So calm and bravely unafraid are they; As though the challenges they make to Death The purposes divine of Life reveal — ’Tis we who falter at the price they pay!

HAS HARVESTED MANY CROPS

Alabama Farmer Takes 38 of Them From One Piece of Land in Nineteen Years. Montgomery, Ala.—Harvesting 38 crops from one patch in 19 years, purchasing seed potatoes only once ir that time, is the record of R. W Phelps, a prominent fanner of Shotwell, Ala. Mr. Phelps looks after the digging >f his potatoes himself and sees that i sufficient number of potatoes are left in the ground to furnish seed for the next crop. After the crop matures the ground is covered with pine straw, not only protecting the crop from cold but also burnishing fertilizer for the next year. Two full crops are grown each year and potatoes fresh from the earth twelve months a year are had by Mr. Phelps’ method and gratifying results are obtained in every case.
