Exeter Advocate, 1915-5-6, Page 3NEW STRENGTH IN THE SPRING Nature Needs. Aid in Making New Health -Giving Blood In the spring the system needs a: . tonic. To be healthy you must have new blood, just as the trees must have new sap to renew their vital- ity, Nature demands it, and with- out this new blood you will feel tweak and languid. You may have twinges of rheumatism or the sharp stabbing pains of neuralgia. Often there are disfiguring pimples or eruptions on the skin. In other rases there is merely a feeling of {tiredness and a, variable appetite. 'Any of these are :signs that the blood is out cf order—that the in - '.door life of winter has lessened your vitality. What you need in spring is a tonic medicine to. put you right, and in all the world of medicine there is no tonic can equal I)r. Williams' Pink Pills.

A (''tunic Inventor of Everything from Guns to Mousetraps. Sir Hiram Maxim describes him- self im- sif as a. chronic inventor. It may be added that he is the most prac- tical of inventors, aman who can use his hands as well as his brain. He began young. Before he was any age at all, an expert in geography, she made a simple in- strument which, enabled him to de- termine latitude. At fourteen years and some month's, working eight hours in. the morning end an- other eight in the afternoon, he was turning out wheel-harrows—the hest lot his employer had seen. An- other job at this period was making axle -trees of seasoned rock maple plunk as hard as horn. Then came the first invention proper, an en- gine of destruction by no means as formidable as the famous quick - firer 1 Tb be frank, it was a mouse- trap, and mightily ingenious. The trouble with the ordinary trap was that, when it had caught one mouse, it could not catch another. until the first had been taken out. Young Maxim's device would wind up like au clock, shed set itself a great number of times. Five mice formed the first catch. The trap was expensive, however, so it yield- ed place to eometh'nh:g cheaper and even more curious. "I made one," Sir Hiram tells in his autobiogra- phy, "that required no coiled spring, the motile himself doing all the work. Has mouseslhip walked in, and touching the bait, shut himself in.; this; frightened him ; he would attempt to escape, and did escape into a small cage, but in doing so he set the trap for the next customer, and so on." A little hv.hile, aatnd he made the first sili- cated blackboard, presenting a bill for , twenty-four 'shillings and re- ceiving five! Various Inventions. From wood Sir Hiram turned to metal. He began by cleaning brass castings; then he was promoted to a lathe on. rough oast -iron work. And so to brass—making valves and blow -off cocks for boilers. •Next he was put to dismantling an a;uttonia- tic gas-niadhitne and turning out'. working drawings of it. At the mane time he was a cbppersmtith when necessary. Also, he painted stripes en lathes, which was a 'good deal easietr, if` less exciting, than painting landscapes on the dash- boards of sleighs -,-one of his earli- est tasks. There followed such things as a patent automatic gas machine, a• steam trap, a locomo- tive headlight foie gas instead of. oil, arc lamps,,' d+ygiami,o-electrical ma- chines, and, very nearly,•and by ac- cident, diamonds ! Thus his pro- gress until, in August, 1881, he went to London. Very soon after he made his first drawing of, an automatic gun, that weapon which was to -develop into; the world-famous Maxim. Many were sceptical. To begin with, he found lie could ire rather mores. than ten 'cartridges a second, using a belt feed the gun loading and firing itself by energy derived from • bfe recoil. Still there were ,utibe- lievers. They . were speedily" Si- lenced, for the weapon was proved to fire 666 shots' a nunute! The gun was its successor was much smaller, C'h'eaper, and lighter, and became the standard for the world. Every experiheent added to its val- ue. Demonstrations were given in various countries, There were other guns, too, including the Pom-pom of South African war memory. In Switzerland his machine gun, in action against a. dummy battery at a range of twelve hundred metres, "technically killed three-quarters of the men and horses" in slightly less than one minute! Later, the German Emperor said of the Max- im, which had put its every shot in the bull's flys of a target: "That is the gun there is no other." The Pian -porn, by the way, interested •Sir Hiram Maxim. vastly Li -Hung -Chang, who made a remark which is of considerable in- terest to -day, when war is costing so many millions.. "This gun," he said, referring to the expenditure on cartridges, "tires altogether too fast for China" (650 per minute), Experiments with Powder. Meantime, Sir Hiram had turned his knowledge and his common. sense to powders, and invented, for example, a smokeless powder, to say nothing of re -discovering in England that new and powerful explosive first discovered in France and called Melinite. Next, he pa- tented a torpedo to be propelled through the air, inventing a. gun to throw the torpedo so that it would strike the water only a, few feet from its target. Other inventions included a coffee roaster, awheat- and-coffee, and, of course, a, flying machine. , CROSS, SICKLY BABIES Mrs. Chas. E. White, Waterford, N.$., writes :—"I have used Baby's Own Tablets for both my babies and And them excellent. My baby girl was cross and sickly, but atter giving her the Tiibletsshe became strong, healthy and happy." Baby's Own Tablets never fail to make sickly children we+ll, and the mother can give them to her children with. absolute safety., They are guaran- teed by a government analyst to be free from injurious. drugs. The Tab- lets are sold by medicine. dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brock- ville, Ont. 11tt ST DISINFECT WAR ZONE. Ground to be Saturated With Lime Over Regions Affected. "Seven months after the begin- ning of the retreat of the Ger- mans" says Dr. Doizy, deputy for the department of the Ardennes, "uniburied dead are being discover- ed on the battlefield of the Marne. In the centre of ,a viillage on the banks . of the Marne, where the sanitary department was clearing away the debris, . they brought to light a body than twtas beyond identi- fication either as German or French: "Hundreds, if not'tthausands, o£ bodies, are supposed 'to be flying more or less submerged in the Saint Gond marshes where the Prussian Guard was -thrown back; they had neither the time nor the means to save those who fell there." In order to avoid the pestilential effects of warm weather on these unburied corpses, Dr. Doizy thinks it will be nedeissiary to explore the entire swamp region with"tahe aid of dogs. Bodies are also being found co•n stantly under brush in ditches and abandoned trenches. They are found not only in ditches,trenchers, and, excavations made by shells, butt in •wells;, springs, and ill! the little streams of the region. In many place's where it was possible for thein to bury their dead they were insufficiently covered • with earth, and were frequently buried in too close proximity to sources of water supply. These conditions exist .over a zone 250 mileslong,, and from 10 So 40 miles iwidewith a total of from 5,000• to 6,000:square miles of ground,; a . considerable part of which required thorough disinfec- tion to prevent the outbreak of epi- demics. Besides the bodies of men there 'were -in- this zone thousands of bodies of animals, part of them. killed by shell; fire and many of them dead ''from starvation, 'having been abandoned by the fleeing population, They Helped Him and His Friend. THAT is WHY IL A, CLARK 1tECOI1 Ml NDS DODD'S IiIDNEI I ILLS. Western Man Tells 'Why Dodd's Kidney Pills Are So Popular out the Prairies. Homeglen, Alberta, May 3rd (Special).—dust why Dodd's Kid- ney Pills are so popular on the prairies is shown by the statement of Mr. H. A. Clark, It well-known resident of this place.

We decided to use these advertisements in news- papers because we regard them as the medium that is immediately re- sponsive. The time has gone by when an automobile is purchased merely be- cause it is good looking. Once on a time the man about to buy an automobile looked only at the lines of the hood, to -day he is vitally and intelligently interested in. what lies under the hood. Since the work of'the advertising' department is to tell the public what it wants to know and what it sthould know about• automobiles in order to pu'rthase intelligently, naturally we are keen to get our story as quickly as possible to the public. Having decided to give what one might call an education in the mechanical features of our ear, we are using the newspapers because we can keep our hands on the pulse of the public interest and amplify any of these talks aulinost in a day if we find there are reasons for doing so because of local con- ditions in any part of the country. In these mechanical advertise- ;clients dvertise .ments we have a comprehensive guide to the machine, With their drawings they give the owner an understanding of the details of construction and operation.
