"Vponsight of the ?ubmarine. the
steamer hoisted the American flag
and waited for about ten minutes.
As the- submarine approached the

that would permit the submarine to
come within range. Then followe4
a fight lasting for an hour and a half.
The submarine came to a distance of
about 2.300 yards. Bythat time the
submarine had fired 35 shots and the
steamer 25. The last shot cf the
steamer apparently struck the sub

the submarine was sunk. The stea
mer suffered no damage.**

AFTER SUFFERING 'SHE
WAS CURED

Having tried Mrs. Joe Person's Re
medy I am very anxious for all who
suffer with rheumatism to know what
it did for me
/'About thirteen years ago I had a
ver severe spell of inflammatory rheu
matism, could hardly walk a step for
a month. 1 would have these spells
every winter and they would last well
up into the summer. I trieG the best
doctors in the country and tried every
thing else 1 could hear of. nothing
seemed to do me any good unftTUnal
ly the good tidings came when a
friend (indeed she was) persuaded
me to try Mrs. Joe Persons Remedy,
and I can frankly say that it has done
Ae more good than anything I have
ever taken.
1 am still using it as a fainiiy tonic
and a blood medicine and ran recom
mend it the best medicine I have IHed
for rheumatism.

Earning, Spending
AND
..SAVING..
Making money is a business; spending it a
necessity; saving it an art.
Many people make money, practically every one
spends money, but only the thrifty save it.
Thrift means laying aside the extra dollar that
represents youth and vigor to offset the minus
dollar that later on will represent old age and
decreased vitality.
