Jones - - Manager 230 WAS RUN DOWN NOW WELL AGAIN Takes Pleasure in Recommending Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. To the woman in the home illness is almost a calamity. Many a woman keeps on with her household duties when she is feeling ready to drop. Her head aches, she is easily tired, is depressed and nervous and has no appetite. In a word she is anaemic and badly needs help—the health - help that only Dr. Williams' Pink Pills can give her. These pills make rich, red blood which brings new strength and energy to weak, de- spondent sufferers. Concerning them, Mrs. Paul Rail, Coin du Banc. Que., says: "I was badly rui!-down, slept poorly, and awoke as tired as when I went to bed. •My appetite -was poor and I felt miserable. I took six boxes of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and they completely renewed my health." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold Eby all medicine dealers or by mail at 50 cents a box from The Dr. Wil- liams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. WAR, PERFECT WAR (Condensed from Collier's Magazine) Joseph Jones, war correspondent of the vintage of 1918, went forth re- cently to see for himself what kind of war the next war would be. First he went to the artillery fort- ress of Sandy Hook. Standing with the commanding officer on a half moon circle of cement, 30 inches thick, his gaze swept the Atlantic. Just, behind him, sunk down, was a vast piece of machinery known as a 12 -inch disap- pearing gun. You know the kind. It rises majestically on steel grasshop- per legs, belches out a cloud of black omdt11 Keep "Uindies" Smart ...

Cost, $120,000. The coast artillery officer was giv- ing him a lesson in big gun arith- metic. He gave some figures and concluded, "The answer, in feet, tells you how far your target is below the horizon," "Below the horizon!" "Why, yes. Our new guns carry so far that we must fire at them over the curve of the earth." "But is that curve big enough for battleship to hide behind?" asked Jones. "Well, •our guns will throw a one - ton shell 25 miles. A target at • 25 miles would be 416 feet below the horizon. A battleship's craw's nest is, 135 fee) above the surface. Why these battleships can't see each other's masts at a distance of 14 miles. And yet, in a naval engagement, they must hit each -other at that distance, shooting over the shoulder of the earth. That's one reason why air- planes are indispensable in the navy." The officer next took Jones down into the cement depths of the fortifi- cations to a room that looked like a draftsman's workshop. "Here is where we aim. We get facts, by telephone or radio, make cur calculations down here, telephone the gunners where to set their gun and exactly when to fire." All this time Jones was becoming uneasy. Hie had learned a good deal about guns in the war, but he was feeling behind the times. "That's an astonishing lot of big guns," he said as they came up to the air 'again, waving a cane generally at the cem- ent -protected giants. The officer gave him a look of pity. "Why, those aren't the guns I'm talking about," he said. "Those guns —'I(the 12 -inch disappearing giants) "are as ' old-fashioned .as oicycle bloomers." And then he took Jones out into the woods of Sandy Hook and show- ed him even huger giants, standing on great flat surfaces of cement. Poison gas would be less likely here to suffocate the gun crew than in the sunken nests. "These are the 2'5 -mile guns." said the officer, "the newest thing. You can point them almost straight up into the sky." 'Right then and there Joseph knew he was a war dodo. And he decided to find out, by going from office. to office in the War Department, and from army post to army post, what has been done since 1918. Old-time generals used to say, "Trust in God, but keep your powder dry." A new waterproof powder has thrown that •old motto into the dis- card. Still, what Sherman said about war is righter than ever. Major Gen• eral Williams, Chief of Ordnance, out- lined a few modern tools of war as follows: "Guns varying in diameter of bore from one-third inch to 16 inches; am- munition with projectiles and fuses so sensitive as to explode upon imipact with the fabric of a dirigible or so inert as to penetrate heavy ship's armor and then explode; powder that will explode in a gun without show- ing any flash at the muzzle; bombs varying from a few pounds to two tons and so d signed as to explode when they stri e water, land, houses or ships, as t special need requires; gases that ake you sneeze, laugh, cry, blister, or die; tanks that need no roads, can bowl over trees, some that, can even swim; and finally, air- craft with their tremendous possibili- ties." The buck private's rifle of the Great War will be as old-fashioned as that favorite weapon of the Chinese priv- ate a thousand years ago, the stink- pot. In the recent war a good rifle- man could get rid of ten shots a min- ute effectively. But in the next war! Every private a machine gunner ; that's the idea! That deadly little machine gun which you hear of bandits using is lone of the types which will be in the hands of privates. Each man is turn- ed into a killing machine, ten times more deadly than any private has ev- er been before, firing 100 shots a minute. Mr. Jones knew that in the last war not one ounce of poison gas was dropped by airplanes on either side. The consequences would have been too terrible. Either side might have dropped poison gas from airplanes, but neither side was able to protect its troops from gas from the sky. Wherefore no one dared to start the practice. But each side was ready to follow suit if the other side began. There isn't a war department in the world—and that includes our own— that will admit it is prepared to com- nine lie airplane and the gas bomb, if need be, in whatever war it may • WHITE RIT—Color Remover (Harmless as Boiling Water) Any color, even black, completely re- moved from all matertals by WHITE RIT (color remover).

But the man in the airplane—no matter what hers dropping—won't have an easy time in the next war. A man turns a range finder on on on- coming •plane. Just so long as he can see the plane through this finder, a battery of four electrically aimed guns can throw' 72 explosive shells a minute within the plane's area, as high as any plane has ever yet flown. At night, a new sound -finder will au- tomatically • train a great lamp, unlit, on the plane. Switch on the rays. U'p there, in the sky, they will unfailing- ly strike against the sides of the night flyer. Then, with the range finder, the plane can be fired on as ac- curately as in daylight. "Battles in the next war- will be something like sea fights." That's one note Jones put down. He discovered that miracles have been wrought in tanks. One of the perfected tanks, with its greater speed, power, and endurance, will do the work of 80 tanks in the Great War. In the old tanks, firing with good aim was impossible; the weapon lurched with the tank. Tank guns are now hung on springs. Plans are made to ate thousands of two-man tanks as travelling machine-gun nests in the "'better" war. Telephone line- men will no longer hoof it across 'bat- tlefields under fire, laying wire. These tanks will reel out wire like a ship laying a cable. Soldiers in the recent war advanc- ed side by side in charges with the great, lumbering tanks. Next time they will have to go awheel to keep up. The time is here, in the plans of the American War Department and, incidentally, in the known war plans of the war departments of 27 other nations, when a considerable propor- tion of soldiers will ride to battle in armored transport cars. - "Brilliant darting speed," as Jones put it, "not steady plodding, will win the next war." How a commander is to rontrc4' troops so equipped is a problem that is being worked out. But one fact interested Jones, who was always baiting generals because they didn't clinifb down into front-line trenches: War won't be so safe for certain of- ficers in the future. In this new nav- al -like warfare all officers will find it necessary to be right on the spot with their men. Military men throughout the world are mechanizing war with desperate haste. "Mechanization" is a term continually in every civilized war de- partment on earth. It means organ- ization to deliver a maximum of fire• power per man engaged. An army behind a multitude of steel armored land -going ships, moving un- der their own power on wheels, is something new in the world. Yet that is the plan everywhere. In England two of the smartest cavalry regiments have turned in their fine horses for armored cars and tanks. The French are said to be ready to build a 600 -ton land tank. The Russians are credited with planning .an 800 -ton tank. One inevitable result of these plans is this: "Good -by to trenches in war- fare." When machine gun nests come to you. you will" get out of the way. No soldiers will stay in trenches when huge fleets of shooting, gas - throwing tanks come rolling along— as they most surely will if war breaks out again. But it will not be a smooth land over which these battles 'between ma- chines wil lbe fought. The battle will be disturbed from the sky by air- planes. The same huge bombs that are dropped by airplanes, nob on the decks but only in the water in the vicinity of great battleships, and put these ships out of action, -will be dropped in land warfare. There are airplane bombs that can Quickly cover many square miles of fighting ground with holes so deep that the most agile tank will be un- able to move over the terrain. The smallest of these bombs weighs only 100 pounds. But its explosion moves at least 60 tons of earth, leaving a hole seven feet deep and 22 feet a- cross. 'Dot a tank battlefield with pockmarks like that and you bring tanks to a standstill. As for our 4000 -pound bomb, it would take four days for a crew of 25 men, with the latest model of steam shovel and a fleet of seven trucks, to move the soil that this monster shell can throw toward the sky. Neither Joseph. Jones nor this writ- er feels competent to describe with any degree of adequacy the noises, the fumes, the sights nor the general tumult and confusion in sky and on land of a battle in the next war. It'll take a new kind of war correspond- ent to do that. Maybe, instead of correspondents, they'll have radio an- nouncers riding around in tanks, broadcasting the doings, instead of writing them down. That means that they'll be drawing on the concert stage instead of on newspaper offices for their supply of reporters. And that would be no stranger than most of the other changes that are taking place during this mechaniza- tion of war. " So Skinny Shamed In Bathing Suit. Gained 15 Lbs."
