Wh 3nthe great military nations have coi no peted in creating and employing the field more destructive weapoi ' to a large extent they have neutrj ized one another's efforts by provi ing for better care for th3 wound ~n and sick.

ADVKXTIKES OF AIHMKN*. How British Officers Destroyed (J re; Zep|K?Iin Sheds. I.ondon. Oct. 19.?During the la< few days a good many of the officei and men of the royal navy air sei vice who have been at work in Be gium, have come back to this counti or new machines and spare parts, s ck that one is now able to get somethin ^ like a connected narrative of the sin nt cessful raid on the airship shed i jj_ Duesseldorf. Taking all its circun lt_ stances into consideration, it is or of the finest performances put up i any war by aviators. as ke The three officers told off for tt t job, as stated in the official repor were Squadron Commander Spenci re Grey, Flight Lieutenant Marix an n_ Flight Lieutenant Sippe. When th n_ three of them, with a squad of mi on rines and air machines, went to loo he after the machines at the Be'gia flying corps' ground, to the east < Antwerp, they found that the Ge >gt man heavy guns were already i on work, and were actually firing ov< n_ the aerodome at the forts behind, s k that they had to land practical] as under fire. At that time, howeve the guns were not troubling then he selves about the aerodome or tl 1(j buildings near it. ed Flew High to Avoid Guns, of Close to the aerodome they di to covered a chateau belonging to ici- German, which had been vacated t ev its owner, and here they installs on themselves to wait for the mornin; to First thing on the next morning the at started off.

E.'s about sevent; five. d- Owing to all the German artillei ns being to the east of them the pilo )t- had to start off toward the west, i ad the direction of Antwerp, and clin: he up a great height in order to gi above the range of the German gun especially the high angle guns, cor monlv called anti-aircraft gui which throw shrapnel to anything t >r to 9,000 feet, lis Before they had got very far, tl engine of Lieut Sippe's machin nt I which had been sulky for sever; .j days, retired from business altogetl er, and he had to give up the cha: of the faster machines and returne to the aerodome. The other t* IS meanwhile went on their way. Steered Separate Courses. e(j For part of the journey they wei flying through a thick fog, and at or he point, Lieut. Marix, going down lo 3l_ to try and find out exactly how far Y u- had got, found himself only a fe feet over tree tops, when at last h ri- sighted the ground. However, fui en ther eastward they ran into dean air and thev started off On differei ut courses, Lieut. Marix going to Duei tr> seldorf and Squadron Command? or Grey to Cologne, he On arriving at Duesseldorf, Lieu st Marix proceeded to do a violent spin ir, dive, coming down at such spee er that, according to the Germans a< ;e, count, the onlookers thought he ha te been hit by guns mounted to pre k- tect the shed. When one realize as that these little scouts pick up ie speed of 140 miles an hour within few seconds of having their nose re pushed down steeply, one can easil e- imangine the onlookers being thu th deceived. As a matter of fact, the manoeuvr was thoroughly sound, for droppjn at such a pace the machine woul be very much more difficult to hi a with rille fire, and its altitude woul 111 alter so quickly that it would be prat rs tically impossible for the anti-aii craft guns to vary their range t b' suit. _ He came down this way to heigli 'b of about 500 feet and then release his bombs. Exactly where they fe he could not make sure, but one, a x" any rate, went through the roof c the shed, and in a few seconds th e" flames were shooting out through i as high as the place where he himsel e" had passed over the shed. Treachery Suspected. Re'ieved of the weight of til Ill -- - bombs, and forced far beyond he is best normal climbing speed by th impetus of the dive, the little scon shot up into the air again like rocket, and in a very few minute: was so far out of range of the gun u- that the pilot had leisure to tur m round and admire the flames pourin it- up through what had been one c ff- Germany's best new sheds, lie Whether the airship inside th ct shed was actually a Zeppelin or nc t- cannot of course l^e ascertained, bu evidently the loss upset the German re very much, for a German paper th lg next day stated that the British pile must have been informed by treacl *1*/* o?r?o)tir? horf hoon roninvo \ XZ CI > Uldl ?11C UUCUI!/ uuu ge only a day or so before into the ne1 h- shed from the old shed which ha been previously damaged by Fligl: id Lieut.

John Temple Graves addressie ed the convention, making the sugtt gestion of a memorial to the Con;r federate soldier, to be erected on the d side of Stone Mountain, near Atlan,e j ta. He said in part: i- j "On the steep side of Stone Mounil<! tain, facing northward, there is a n! sheer declivity that rises or falls jf: from 900 to 1.000 feet. Here, then, r_ is nature's matchless plan for a melt morial On this steep side let those ;r who love Southern dead combine to ;o have the engineers cut a projection [v 150 feet wide and 100 feet deep. Inr, to this projection, and as high as it i- may be made, let us ask Lorado Taft, ie the republic's greatest sculptor, to j chisel a heroic statue, seventy feet I high, of the Confederate soldier, in the nearest possible resemblance to Robert E. Lee. Let him chisel also a . the insignia of the Confederate uni^ form, of which they gray stone is the natural base. There will be no g.1 monument in all the world like this, '5 our monument to the Confederate jr dead. None so majestic, none so mag! nificently framed and none that will s,1 i more powerfully attract the interest 1 j and the admiration of those who * have soul. Will Sam Venable perai i lo|mit this chiselling of his mighty granite hill? I do not know, for I ' am speaking upon one of the impulses that have been behind every good thing I ever did, from the Grat | dy memorial speech to the defence ! of the South at Chicago. But I do . know Sam Venable, and I make bold ib t to say that the brave and loyal spirit of this gallant Georgian will not refuse the consent, which will make of . ! his Georgia home more than a Partpi nassus." Col. Graves was vigorously apie plauded by the convention and a res^ olution was passed approving the ^ suggestion, but no tangible action ! was taken.

F'inding it was still it impossible to see the aviation ground, d he started back for Antwerp and arrived safely at the flying ground. There the naval people waited the o return of the missing pilot, who finally arrived late at night. Thanks it to the house in which they were d sheltered being German property, it 11 was not damaged, but they could it not go outside it before dark owing if to the danger of being sniped by Gere man riflemen. Consequently at the it first sign of dawn they left the house if i and cleared out into a wood on the far side of the ground, where they lay and watched the German artillery smash up their previous aeroplanes and the Belgian's sheds.

A WARNINGTO MANY Some Interesting Facts About Kidney Troubles Few people realize to what extent their health depends upon the condition of the kidneys. The physician in nearly all cases of serious illness, makes a chemical analysis of the patient's urine. He knows that unless the kidneys are doing their work properly, the other organs cannot readily be brought back to health and strength. When the kidneys are neglected or abused in any way, serious results are sure to follow. According to health statistics, Bright's disease which is really an advanced form of kidney trouble, caused nearly ten thousand deaths in f913, in the State of New York alone. Therefore, it j behooves us to pay more attention to the health of these most important organs. An ideal herbal compound that has had remarkable success as a kidney remedy is Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great Kidney, Liver and Bladder Remedy. The mild and healing influence of this preparation, in most cases, is soon realized, according to sworn statements and verified testimony of those who have used the remedy. If you feel that your kidneys require attention, and wish a sample bottle, write to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y. Mention this paper, enclose ten cents and they- will gladly forward it to you by' Parcel Post.
