The tipper photograph is the first to be received in this country of English soldiers on their way to join their regiments. Below is a photograph of the Collingwood, one of the most powerful of England's super dreadnoughts firing a broadside. It is on the Collingwood that Prince Albert is receiving his naval training. This dreadnought is believed to have participated in the sinking of the German submarine U-15.
CLEVERNESS
FORMED TRIPLE ALLIANCE
BY OBSERVER. Early in the seventies, Europe was swept by a tide of Socialism or "Republicanism" as it was then called. LaSalle, Marx, Bakunin, Mazzini, Garibaldi, Engels and a number of other internationally popular leaders frightened every royal court in Europe with a show of power. Prince Bismarck, executive head of Germany, saw in this a great menace to European welfare as he understood it and immediately launched an extended program to check and to counteract it. In 1872 he arranged a meeting of the chancellors of Russia, Austria and Germany at Berlin. Although they signed no papers, they reached what has since been known as the "Three Emperor's ! Agreement." The animus of this was to defend ' royalty against the onslaughts that were being made upon it and the arrangement was that Russia, Austria and Germany should unite as allies against Republicanism.. But Austria and Russia were not altogether friendly. Russia had seized territory in the Balkans which -Austria claimed for herself. The house of Ifapsburg had smarted from this ever since. In order to cement more fixedly the ties between Germany and Austria, Bismarck entered into a secret agreement with the leaders of the country two or three years after the "Three Emperor's Agreement" by which a scheme was put through to secure compensation for these losses. Narrowly Avert War. When this secret agreement was discovered by Russia, the Slav empire was so embittered by what it called "this betrayal" that war was narrowly averted. Writh this great Slav empire now turned against her on the north and with France bitterly hostile on the south, Bismarck saw that Germany must have the support of allies in case of war. To that end, he arranged the famous agreement with Austria in 1879 which created the Dual Alliance that more than once stood as a bulwark against war in Europe. According to this agreement. Austria was to lend her support to Germany in case the latter were attacked. To make this complete, Bismarck felt that Italy should also enter the compact and to this end for several years directed his great powers. But Italy was stubborn. Austria had gobbled up territory in the Southeast which Italy felt belonged to herself and this, coupled with a race antagonism, made it appear that it would be impossible to bring Italy into any agreeable relationship with Austria. Prince Bismarck, however, was not to be frustrated by any such difficulty and the scheme by means of which he brought about the union is one of the cleverest pieces of Machiavellian statecraft on record. Trick Wins Italy. Italy claimed as her own Tunis and a large part of Tripoli. By clandestine methods and by means of intrigue, Bismarck finally tricked the French into entering Tunis and taking it under her own flag. This, of course, aroused the bitterest antagonism between France and Italy and while the latter country was burning with lust for revenge, Bismarck, assisted by the Italian statesman Crispi, who favored the move, finally prevailed upon Italy to Fat Is No Fun In Fan Weather Suoerfluous flesh would not ta so entirely bad if 'it were only your ap pearance which is affected but when it becomes a constant discomfort as it does in warm weather, when both day and night are made miserable by perspiration and high temperature, you naturally decide that your looks are the smallest part of flesh troubles and that though pride would not affect you, comfort makes it worth while to do something to reduce. The best treatment for reducing weight without danger or inconvenience, which you can make at home, is to put 4 ounces parnotis (you can get it from any good druggist) in 1 pints hot water. Strain when cold and take 1 tablespoonful before meals. Keep up until weight is sufficiently reduced. This parnotis treatment is gentle in action and positive in results and leaves the flesh and skin firm and-smooth. (Advertisement)

unite herself with Austria and Germany. This was consummated in 1882 and formed the now famous Triple Alliance which has done more to maintain the status quo in Europe than any other political move of the last generation. Bismarck also threw all - his influence toward making France as radical and republican in politics as could be. His aim was to isolate France from the fest of Europe and thus to prevent her becoming a dominating power in European politics. With Germany, Italy and Austria united, Russia saw that she had a hopeless chance to hold her own against such an alliance so soon brought about an agreement with -trance, wnicu laiu me oasis iui lub formation of the Triple Entente. Removes First Cause. Since the formation of the Triple Alliance, France has been led formally to recognize Italy's right to Tripoli and to Tunis. This has removed the original cause which led Italy to join the Triple Alliance. It seems that Italy has little to gain by her support of Germany and it is certain that she has no love for Austria. The terms of agreement by which the Triple Alliance was formed have never been published to the world, but it is supposed that it called for assistance in defensive warfare only. If this is the case, Germany and Austria have no right to expect that Italy will now join them. And this is the question which caused Austria and Germany the most uneasiness. If Italy stays out, it means that these two countries must fight the combined forces of Servia, Russia, Belgium, France and England. Against such a combination, it is almost impossible to believe that Germany, and Austria can win.

To Put On Flesh And Increase Weight A Physician's Advice. Most thin people eat from four to ' s' pounds of good solid fat-making; food every day, and still do not in- i creas : in weight one ounce, while on the other hand many of the plump, ! chunky folks eat very lightly and keep I gaining all the time. It's all bosh to ' say that this is the nature of the in-1 dividual. It isn't Na re-s way at all. , Thin folks stay thin because their : powers of assimilation are defective I They just absorb enougli of the food ! they eat to maintain life and a sem- j blance of health and strength. Stuff-: ii-g won't help them. A dozen meals a ! day won't make them gain a single j stay there" pound. All the fat-pro-! duclng elements of their food just stay in the intestines until they pass from lue as waste. wnai sucn peoyie uetu i Buuieuiuig ma,L win pre pare these fatty food elements so that their blood ran absorb them and deposit them all about the Tody something, too, that will multiply their red blood corpuscles and increase their blood's carying power. For such a condition I always recommend eating a Sargol tablet with every meal. Sargol is not, as some believe, a patented drug, but is. a scientific combination of six of the most effective and powerful flesh-building elements known to chemistry. It is absolutely harmless, yet wonderfully effective, and a single tablet eaten with each meal often has the effect of increasing the weight of a thin man or woman from three to live pounds a week. Sargol is sold by Leo H. Fihe and other good druggists everywhere on a positive guarantee of h eight increase or money back. "". (Advertisement

Breakdown Caused by Coffee
"I am satisfied," says a prominent physician, that coffee is responsible in a great degree for the premature breakdown of our active men and women. "They suffer from caffeine poisoning. "Of the truth of this, there is not the shadow of a doubt. Our common sense tells us that the daily swallowing of caffeine" (the' alkaloid in tea and coffee), "powerfully affecting heart and brain is followed by nervous depression, and finally by more or less disastrous results. "I believe if people m general would use a harmless, nutritious drink like Postum as a beverage in place of tea and coffee, their physical and mental condition would be much improved." Thousands, troubled with nervousness, biliousness, sleeplessness, headache and heart flutter, have done precisely what this physician advises given up tea and coffee and adopted
"There's
Postum is a pure food-drink, made from wheat and a bit of molasses, containing the nutrition of the grain. No caffeine no drugs no harmful ingredient in Postum. A delicious, nourishing beverage. Postum comes in two forms. Regular Postum must be boiled, 15c and 25c packages. Instant Postum soluble made in the cup, in1 stantly, 30c and 50c tins. Grocers everywhere sell both kinds and the cost per cup is about the same. "There's a Reason" for Postum

Postmaster Beck has expressed his disapproval of the proposed new method of paying rural mall carriers' salaries. The postmaster says it is unjust to pay the carriers by the mileage of their mall routes rather than by the weight of mail delivered and the number of patrons served. A bill passed the house will be backed in senate by the National Association of Rural Carriers. The mail carriers favor the mileage method rather than the arrangement of payment by weight as they say it is easier to pass mail in a thickly settled district and that the long routes mean harder work. with happy results. a Reason 99
