THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM, WEDNESDAY, AUG. 7, 1918.

CITIZEN ARMY WILL WIN WAR SELECTS TOLD County Draftees Meet With Board of Instruction Tuesday Evening.

"A German fears God only," was once the motto of the German people: but now they seem to have lost the fear of God and acquired a wholesome fear of the American soldier." said Father Roell before the meeting of registrants held at the court house Tuesdy evening. The meeting was tailed for the purpose of introducing to the draftees the new board of instruction appointed by the selective service board. The address given by Father Roell was a tribute to the ideals of America. "If any one a brief number of years ago," he said, "had predicted that there, would have been such a gathering as this we would have laughed at him. We believe in warring against disease, disembowling mountains, conquering the air and harnessing the powers of nature but we did not believe in fighting our fellowman. We were at peace with ourselves and with the world, we believed in the perpetuation of peace, we believed in international arbitration and were in favor of it as against war. Every one felt the same. "The strange thing of it all is now that we are not appalled at the cruellty and Inhumanity of this great war. We think it is mercy, we will do anything to do away with the inhumanity that is going on in Europe. America ,1s proud of the stories from the battle front of the bravery and valor of our young men. No army of autocracy will be able to prevail over this citizen army." Father Roell emphasized the importance of the young men going to the front being able to face moral opposition and evil. Rutherford Jones, charimap of the committee, explained the idea of the board and stated that he wished to establish a relation between the men and the board and give them all the aid possible so that when they go away they can leave their troubles behind them. Flora Mae Green, secretary of the home service department of the Red Cross told how many men there are from Wayne county in the service. She explained the financial situation that confronts the soldier, how much he must pay at home, if any, and how much he will 1)9 helped by the government. Short talks were also made by Atwood Jenkins, Joshua Allen, legal advisor of the board and Myron Malsby. Clem Carr, chairman of the selective service board presided. He explained that the new board has been to camp. A letter from the Provost the men in every way before they go appointed for the purpose of aiding Marshal General was read by Michael Kelly, another members of the board. Dr. Bulla the other member of the selective service board was present. The registrants will meet each Tuesday and Friday night for drill and instruction at 7:30 o'clock. The men who desire to take advantage of the opportunity to better their chances , after they get to camp are asked to meet at the court house at that time. The first meeting will be Friday night.

War Would Have Ended Long Ago if "Inventors" Were Heeded

(By Associated Press) LONDON, Aug. 7. If the dreams of numerous British amateur inventors who have been besieging the Ministry of Munitions could be realized, the war would have been over long since and little would have been left of the German army. Recent proposals Include the following: Freexe the clouds and mount artillery thereon. Train comorants to fly to Essen to pick the mortar from Krupp's walls so that they will crumble. Trail from balloons monster magnets that would snatch fhe rifles from the hands of the German soldiers. Perch men on shells to steer them. A suggestion often submitted is to attach a searchlight to an anti-aircraft gun, project the light on a Gotha and shoot along the beam. Unfortunately, shells will not follow a path of light. Other schemes for dealing with hostile aircraft are to suspend heavy guns from captive balloons; to arm defense airplanes with scythes; to provide heat rays for setting Zeppelins on fire, and to cover the moon with u big, black balloon. To prevent polished rails shining at night and acting as a guide to enemy aircraft, the McADOO TAKES REST

last coach of the last train is to drop blacking on them.

A shell containing gravel is to lay j a pathway over mud, and another, containing an irritant powder or a sticky substance is to hamper machine guns. The "relay shell" is a favorite proposal, the plan being for a shell at the height of its flight to expel a smaller inner shell. As a shell does not point directly along its trajectory it would be impossible to secure accuracy of aim for the second shell. Among the more miscellaneous projects are: To petrify German soldiers by squirting cement over them. To throw snakes by pneumatic propulsion into the enemy trenches. To penetrate and attack Germany itself via a "tube" built all the way from England. It is said that about one suggestion in ten that reach the Ministry of Munitnions is novel and possible. The Air Ministry announces that its air inventions committee, formed nine months ago, had examird more than 5,000 inventions and suggestions. The boys over there are getting nicely warmed up.

The charge was one of "sowhere urkunden-Taelschung" forgery in the major degree says a report of the case in the Dusseldorf Nacherichten. Notice to Druggists Price Advance For over a year now we have succeeded in maintaining our old prices, principally by virtue of a big increase in sales, which reduced our overhead cost. For our fiscal year ending July 1, 1918, our sales amounted to over a million dollars an increase of 58 over the preceding year. We had hoped to bridge the war period without a change in prices on Vick's VapoRub but we find that our economies do not keep pace with our rising "costs. It is with sincere regret, therefore, that we are forced to announce an increase, effective August 1, which will make it necessary to retail VapoRub at 30c, 60c and $1.20 The Vick Chemical Co.

Searching For Indiana Doctor Claim Made That He Can Be Found at Inter-State Doctors' Office Service Greatly Sought After. Many people are interested in the search for the doctor who has created such a stir in these parts by giving out medicine that did so much good for the sick and afflicted. The following Is from a woman who claims she has found the great specialist who has the Inter-State treatment. She says: NEWCASTLE. Ind., Aug. 15, 1916 To The Inter-State Doctors: I and my husband are so vividly impressed with the advisability of people being examined by such specialists as you have proven yourselves to be, before ever submitting to an operation, that we want to publish our views, hoping it will be a guide to some other suffering victims. Operations have become such a fad and craze that even the medical profession has been making it a part of the game, and we can speak of it from our own very recent experience. My husband is engaged in building the mausoleum here and not acquainted with any doctors. I took sick with a hemorrhage and female trouble bad been running on for two weeks and I was suffering constantly and growing very weak. We called a doctor and he said I would have to go to the hospital and be operated on. My husband felt like he wanted some other doctor's opinion, so we had this doctor bring council with him. The two came and did nothing but talk in another room. Both agreed I must be operated on, and that at once; asked my husband to arrange about the fee and not caring 'to throw money away, we hesitated. The next day we were induced to send to your office for Dr. Culver. He came and gave me a thorough examination, told me there was no necessity for any kind of an operation. He prescribed for me that evening, and just in two days I was 100 percent better, and visited him at your office and have been on my feet ever since. Hadn't been on my feet for two weeks before that, and it was such a radical change, and so at variance with the faddists who are always wanting to operate that I felt it my privilege as well as my duty to let the public know about your great ability along this line, and I would say to every woman: Don't be butchered until you consult the Interstate Doctors. Doctor Culver visited me but once, on June 14, 1916. MRS. H. E. WOLTMAN. 1105 Southern Ave. Doctor Culver the chief of the staff of Inter-State Doctors will be at the Richmond office over the Starr Piano Store all day next Friday where you rnn rTiRult him absolutely free.
