BERLIN Sergeant Wilbelm Wernlg, a landsturmer and miner of Oerthe in Westphalia, recently was discharged from the hospital at Elberfeld, as a helpless cripple. Two days after he arrived home his wife presented him with his tenth son. He informed the nurses of the Elberfeld hospital of the happy event and ten bealthy young women offered to act as godmothers. Each one of the nurses sent a Christening present of ten dollars. DREAM WAR DESTRUCTION. STOCKHOLM "Millions of more or less fanatical Russian dreamers are busy to find means for the destruction of the hater Germans," says the Petrograd correspondent of a Swedish paper. "Russia has always been the land of mysticism and when everything went entirely wrong the ignorant masses turned to religion as the sale means for the balvation of the empire." ' SWISS HATE ENGLISHMEN. ) BERNE Swiss newspapers bitterly protest against the threats by which the British government tries to stop all trade between the republic and Germany. The English minister recently again demanded the suspension of ail Swiss exports to Germany and he went so far as to hint that the Allies would cut the Swiss federation off from the whole world if his request should not be granted. .TAX UNMARRIED PERSONS. HERLIN Many German towns have followed the example oi Oschatz and introduced a special war tax for unmarried men and for unmarried women over thirty years of age, to raise money for the support of the families of the soldiers at the front. In most cases the tax is pretty high. As a rule it amounts to five per cent for Incomes from $360 to $480. REGAINS SPEECH IN DREAM. LONDON Sergeant Cain, struck dumb while fighting in France, went for a walk on the cliffs near his hospital in Devon. That night he dreamt that he war. falling over the cliffs. The fright of the nightmare made him scream and when the night nurse got to him he had fully recovered his speech and told of his experience. SAVAGERY IN AFRICA. CALCUTTA In a letter from British East Africa, a member of the Bombay Volunteer Rifles tells a terrible story of atrocities there. He says: "A few days ago a patrol of ours met and engaged a hostile foree about six miles from here. They held the enemy for the time, but unfortunately were compelled to retire, laving their wounded behind before reinforcements could reach them. We got there too late to do any good. "The enemy had returned after stripping and mutilating all the dead and wounded. It was a sickening sight to see the naked bodies in the bush with heads mashed in and stomachs torn open with bayonet wounds. 1 shall never forget the sight." MUTILATE GERMAN ART. PETROGRAD Valuable paintings of German artists have been destroyed by excited Russian patriots in the art galleries of Moscow. Kieff and other cities. To prevent a recurrence of these acts of candalism the government has ordered that all German works of art shall be removed from the public museums, IRON USED IN COINS. BERLIN The first iron five pfenning (one cent) pieces, which are coined because all nickel is needed for war purposes, are now in circulation. The new coins have almost the same appearance as the old ones, as they are covered with a coating of Kinc. Their edges are muiea. Bad Cold Quickly Broken Up. Mrs. Martha Wilcox, Gowanda, N. Y, writes: "I first used Chamberlain's Cough Remedy about eight years ago. At that time I had a hard cold and coughed most of the time. It proved to be Just what I needed. It broke up a cold in a few days, and the cough entirely disappeared. I , have told many of my friends of the good I have received through using this medicine, and all who have used it speak it It In the highest terms." ObtainM1 Tery wherev AdV.

Following are the new officers: Eminent commander, Albert W. Rees; generalissimo, O. Frank Ward; captain general, Luther E.

The manufacture of cement in California plants, where electrical energy is used, is estimated to require an average of one-horse power to each barrel of cement produced. DOCTOR SAVES A BLACKSMITH Some time ago I was taken with kidney trouble which caused me to give up my work as blacksmith. I lost my appetite and could not sleep, from the dreadful pains that would come over me, from my kidneys. I was treated by a physician for about three months. He could not help me, so finally he prescribed Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root. I started taking same and before I had finished taking the first bottle I began to eat and sleep better than I had in a long time. I continued to take same until I was entirely cured and took on considerable weight. I am now back working at my trade again and never felt better in my life. I appreciate what Swamp-Root has done for me and will recommend it to any one who suffers with their kidneys. When physicians fail to give relief and then prescribe Swamp-Root, they sure know of its merits. I am, Very truly yours, S. A. HALE, Henrietta, N. Y. State of New York, County of Monroe, ss.: S. A.

IIIFORr.:ES PULBISIIHIS TO ALTER ADDRESSES FOR RURAL PATRONS

. Request was made today by Post master Beck that rural route patrons inform publishers of magazines and newspapers of their n-w rural route addresses resulting from the motorized system. The clerks In the office, since the inauguration of the system, have been forced, to lange the addresses on letters and parcels. This condition is prevalent in all the postoffices of the county. "The rural route carrier" cannot extend the minor courtesies they used to be able to extend," said Postmaster Beck today. "The patrons must remember that each carrier has over fifty miles to go an I that every minute wasted hinders his work. Time is the big factor in the new system r.nd a little co-operation on the part of the patrons will help make the plan a success." Discontinue Courtesies. Some of the former carriers, who only had to drive twenty-five miles, were able to make change in the sale of stamps and place stamps on pack ages. James Starr was the last carrier to return to the office yesterday. In spite of the three days' -nail -vhich had to be delivered Monday, the first day of the new system, Mr. Starr completed his route and was back at the office, by 6 o'clock in the evening. All the other carriers finished their work before that time. It is believed that by the time the system is well under way and the carriers become accus tomed to their routes, it will De possi ble to cover the fifty mile routes so that the carriers can return to the of fice by 2 or 3 o'clock in the afternoon. HANOVER PRESIDENT ADDRESSES TEACHER W A Millar, nvfisident of Hanover college at Hanover, Ind., will deliver the principal address before the Kicnmond city teachers' institute Saturday nftprnnnn rt. the hi eh school auditor ium. Routine business of the institute will preceed the lecture. Tanlac is Only Remedy to Aid This Foreman Dayton Railroad Man Tells of Remarkable Results he Gained. "Tanlac is the only remedy that ever benefited my case," says Robert Johnson. "I certainly spent a great deal of money before finding the relief. I have recommended Tanlac to a number of people. "My wife takes Tanlac and praises it, too." Mr. Johnson lives at 36 Waedner street, Dayton, and is foreman of the track department of the People's railway. "After using four bottles my general health has improved and I can enjoy my meals without any after effect but the pleasure that follows a perfect digestion. "Before using Tanlac I was a miser able dyspeptic. Sour, fermented food would rise into my mouth and I often was nauseated after breakfast. I cannot forget the bitter taste in my mouth. I would He awake at nights like an owl. "But I am much better now," smilingly went on Mr. Johnson. "I never felt better in my life. I had a bad case of catarrh, too, and that has gone on its way with the other troubles. I now have a good stomach. Best of all, headaches, restless nights and bitter tastes are only by-gones. "If I were going to receive the costliest gift that gold could buy as my Christmas present, I could be no happier than Tanlac has made me. "Santa Claus would bestow no better remembrance upon the sick than to put a bottle or two in their stockings Christmas eve." So many of these out-of-the-heart talks measure the depth of gratitude the people have for Tanlac. It is a hope builder as well as a health builder. The Tanlac way to health just now is quite crowded though broad it is, with those who seek the most precious most coveted goal. Tanlac is the great constructive remedy. It uproots the plant of sickness and sows the seed of health. It drives the poisonous waste accumulation of inactive organs out of the system. Tanlac is being personally explained in Richmond at the four Thistlethwaite drug stores. Adv. Carl F. Weisbrod Piano Tuning and Repairing. Phone 2095.
