SIEGE GUNS: r aulty Nutrition and eitf Employed by the Turks In Capturing Constantinople. A campaign surpassing in inven- tion and resource any that went be- fore was that waged by the Turkel against Constantinople in 1452-3. Its' culmination not only brought the furl into Berme, but it brought into war- fare the use of artillery as 'a means of reducing fortified cities. Oddly, Hien as in the present great war, it wars German skill in the handling of can- non that aided the Turks. One Urban, a Wallachian reared in Germany, who had seen service in the armies of German, 'Hungarian, and Greek before he attached him- self to the Sultan's forces, devised the cannon that for, fifty days bat- tered the walls of the eastern .cape ital of the Roman. Empire. On the. recommendation of Urban, the Sul- tan, before he began his amcampaign aagainst Constantinople, erected foundry, and in it was cast a gun with a mouth exceeding two and a half feet in diameter and capable of projecting to the distance of about a mile a missile of six hundred pounds in weight. Other guns of a smaller calibre were constructed un- der the supervision of Urban. Elimination"—these are the cause of the most of the ailments that afflict human beings. Too much indiges- tible food and lack of power to throw off the poisons that come from indigestion —these lead to a long line of distressing disorders.

From present indications, shipbuild- ing will be among the first industries to show activity at the end of the war. The United States, Great Britain, Japan, Canada, Norway and Australia have entered as competitors in ship- building. • Before the war the world had just sufficient ships to take care of inter- national commerce. There was a steady annual output to keep pace . with the demand and with the nor- mal maritime losses. This annual output of merchant vessels was as fol- lows: Number 743 1.319 1.750 1,719 1,599 1,277 1,063 1,405 1,788 1,836 1,576 Tons. 1915 1,201,688 1914 2,852,753 1913 3,332,882 1912 ....... e. 2,901,769 1911 2,650,140 1910 1,957,853 1909 1,602,057 1908 1,833,286 1907 2,778,088 1906 2,919,763 1905 2,514,922 Since 1914, with the diversion of shipyards to naval construction, short- age of labor and other causes, the an- nual output decreased, leaving short- age of new construction, conservative- ly estimated at 3,500,000 gross tons. The amount of shipping destroyed up to the end of October verges on '3,- 500,000 3;500,000 tons. In addition to these ships to be replaced is the average annual building of nearly 3,000,000 tons, based on 1911-13 figures, and an indeterminate quantity of con- struction for ships in service, due to incessant voyages and consequent ex- traordinary depreciation. 10,000,000 Tons New Ships. Destructions continue, and the im- provement in the number of vessels launched has been comparatively slight. Therefore, if the war came to a sudden conclusion within a few months, shipbuilding yards would face. theproblem of constructing 10,000,000 tons of new ships with a capacity of about 3,500,000 tons, in addition to the ships under construction and on order in the current year, while the number of ships to be replaced in- creases daily. American yards have orders to keep them busy up to 1918. German shipyards are working on mammoth liners some of which have been delayed since 1913. According to an important Ameri- can shipbuilder, in the constructionof 10,000,000 tons of steamships, the quantity of structural steel, apart from machinery, would be between five and six million tons, and the cop- per requirements for foundry work, without considering electrical equip- ment, dynamos, insulation, steam fit- tings, etc., would be about ten thou- sand tons. Machinery and electrical construction is so varied as to be be- yond estimate. What Counts.

Dear Mr. Editor:— Thanks for the privilege of appeal- ing through your columns on ilehalf of the Hospital for Sick Children, the great Provincial Charity.

That is the question. One gift more in the Hospital's trea- sury means one coffin less In the LITTLE WHITE HEARSE.

The habit of taking digestive pills after meals makes chronic dyspeptics of many thousands of men and women because artificial digestents, drugs and medicines have practically no influence upon the excessively acid condition of the stomach contents which is the cause of most forms of indigestion and dys- • pepsic. The after dinner pill merely lessens the sensitiveness of the stomach nerves and thus gives a false sense of freedom from pain. If those who are subiectbto indigestion, gas, flatulence, bloating, heartburn, etc., after eating would get about an ounce of pure bis take easpoonfusia lrin a little wm their aterst after meals, there would be no further neces- sity for drugs or medicines because bi- surated magnesia instantly neutralizes stomach acidity, stops food fermenta- tion and thus insures normal; painless digestion by enabling the stomach to do its work without hindrance.

The Rumanian peasants have a say- ing that they must dance on Sunday to keep the creak out of their bones on Monday, says a writer in the Na- tional Geographic Magazine. Most of the dances are at the public houses —dance halls under the blue sky, as it were. -.and young and old gather there. The old folk spend the day with the tipple, while the young ones dance. There is very little drinking .on any other day of the week, and tipsy man, except on Sunday, sel- dom is seen. The dances are organized by the boys of the community. They arrange for the music, provide the refresh- ments and preside as masters of cere- mony. When the girls reach a mar- riageable age and have been sufficient- ly instructed in the household arts; they are allowed to attend these dances as participants. "She dances at the dance" is the peasant way of saying that a girl has made her debut and is eligible for matrimonial atten- tions. The national dance of Rumania is a sort of cross between a jig and the game of ring-around-the-rosie. All the dancers clasp hands and form a ring. They then begin a stepping, swaying motion that never moves them out of their original tracks, and to the*opsit upof for hours, urs Tzigana band they Don't parade your troubles before the unsympathetic world.

Big German Business Interests to Force Issue,_ Say Financiers. ,That the Kaiser will be forced to seek peace in 1917 is the opinion ex- pressed in well -posted French circles, writes a Paris correspondent. By next summer the Entente allies will have reached the summit of their of- fensive capacity, and Britain will have blossomed to her full strength in men, guns, shells, and all the appur- tenances of war. Germany attaches great importance to the threatened loss of the Balkans, and is doing her utmost to avert it. Another year of the, war can bring Germany nothing more than a more or less successful resistance, with nothing ahead but a war of patience, with the scales heavily 'weighted against her because of the sea blockade. The opinion is expressed in high financial circles that the big business interests of Germany would no longer tolerate such a situ- ation, and an irresistible movement would be launched against allowing the military' party to attempt to re- sist the process of military and economical exhaustion. The allied Somme offensive will continue through the winter, pinning to Picardy as many German reserve divisions as possible, and seeking deprive Hindenburg of the offensive on any other front. Even should Germany be able to send enough men to the west to man efficiently the whole line from the sea to Switzer- land, she will be forced to a big re- treat from the huge Noyon salient once the allied armies seriously men - When youre stiff, your circulation poor, and your suffering makes you irritable, an application of $loan's Liniment gives you quick re- lief—idlIs pain, starts up a good cir- culation, relieves congestion.
