Luxemburg was proclaimed , a re
public on Friday, when the" Grand
Duchess Marie retired from the cap
ital, taking up quarters in a chateau
nearby.
The grand duchy of Luxemburg is
bordered on the north and northeast
by Rheinish' Prussia, on tho south by
Alsace-Lorraine, and on the west by
the Belgian province of Luxemburg.
The grand duchy is presided over
by the Grand Duchess Marie Ade
laide, who was born in 1894. By the
treaty of London of. 1867, Luxem
burg was declared neutral . territory
and its integrity and independence
'were guaranteed. At the outbreak
of the presents war, however, the
Germans passed through Luxemburg
in their invasion of Belgium, not
withstanding the protests of the duch
ess.
Luxemburg has an area of 998
square miles and a population of
nearly 300,000.
General Pershing recently visited
Luxemburg and was cordially greet
ed by the -Grand Duchess.
More than $200,000,000 wrth of
American property was seized by the
German government. This is the
estimate of John Henry Cooney man
ager and custodian of all the prop
erties of the International Harvester
Company in Germany during the war
Eddie Rickenbacher, famous be
fore the war as an automobile racer,
is listed at the head of the 63 Amer
ican airmen who can clam the title
of ace, an ace being a flyer who has
brought down five or more enemy
airplanes. Rickenbacher has 26 vic
tories to his credit. The two who
rank next to him are Lieutenant
Luke and Raoul Lufbery, both of
whom were killed in fights with Ger
mans. Rickenbacher comes out a-live.
John Mason, one of the most
widely known actors on the Ameri
can stage, died Sunday at a sanito
rium in Stamford, Conn. He had
been ill for several months and rec
ently suffered a breakdown which
compelled him to leave the stage.
Need To Be Thin,
Scrawny or Sallow
It's Only Because the Stomach Does
not Furnish Enough Nourishment
to the Body.
If you are thin and want to be
plump; if you have wrinkles in your
face that you are not proud of; if
the skin is sallow or subject to pim
ples or blackheads, take Mi-o-na stom
ach tablets for two weeks and notice
the change.
The majority of the thin people
are thin because the roinach ' does
not perform its duties properly. It
is not secreting sufficient of the nat
ural digestive juices and in conse
quence does not extarct from the
food enough nutriticve matter to
nourish every part of the body. When
the stomach does not do its work
properly, the nourishment in the
food you eat is not extracted and
passes throufgh the body without
leaving any flesh building elements.
Mi-o-na stomach taoiers are intend
ed to build up the stomach so that
it will act properly and extract from
the food all elements necessary to
form gocTct, solid flesh.
If you are thin try two weeks'
treatment of Mi-ona stomach tablets
they are small, easily swallowed
and have made many friends by their
proven value.
Mi-o-na stomach tablets are sold
on the guarantee of money back if
they do not overcome indigestion, a
cute or chronic, stop stomach distur
bance, belching heartburns, sour
stomach, and any after dinner dist
ress. For sale by J. G. Hall and all lead
ing druggists.

FOR NASTY CALOMEL
Starts Your Liver Without Making
You Sick and Can Not Salivate
Every druggist in. town your
druggist and everybody's druggist
has noticed a great falling-off in the
sale of calomel. They all give the
same reason. Dodson's Liver Tone

"Calomel is dangerous and people
know it. while Dodson's Liver Tone
is perfectly safe and gives better re
sults," said a prominent local drug
gist. Dodson's Liver Tone is person
ally guaranteed by every druggist
who sells it. A large bottle costs
little, and if it fails to give easy re
lief in every case of liver sluggish
ness and constipation, you nave only
to ask for your money back.
Dodson's Liver Tone a pleasant
tasteing, purely vegetable remedy,
harmless to both children and adults.
Take a spoonful at night and wake
up feeling fine; no biliousness, sick
headache, acid stomach or constipa
ted bowels. It doesn't gripe or cause
inconvenience all the next day like
violent calomel. Take a dose of cal
omel today and tomorrow you will
feel weak, sick and nauseated. Don t
lose a day's -work!, Take Dodson's
Liver Tone instead and feel finer full
of vigor and ambition.
Look out for Span

LETTER
FROM SERGT. HALES
His Experience Aboard the Ill-Fated
Tuscania.
Sergt. L. M. Hales, 100th Aero
Squadron, A. E. F., in a letter to
his sister, Mrs. Joseph N. Pittman,
gives an interesting account of his
experience aboard . the illfated Tus
cania, which jailed from Hoboken,
N. J., one year ago:
"It was a terribly cold day, and
a bunch of the boys had made it a
custom to visit every night to spin
yarns, and dabble in the topics of
the day. So the bunch began the
nightly session, and we were comfort
ably lounging about on the beds
when, suddenly and so unexpectedly
a mighty crash that seemed to splin
ter the ship and rock her from under
neath us, and all was dark; My God,
I'll never forget the awful few min
utes that followed, the few minutes
of unavoidable disorder of rushing
to get out on the cleared decks. We
were naturally anxious to get out
and have a look at the fate awaiting
us. But as each man hit the deck
he immediately fell in at his post,
and within six or seven minutes an
unbroken line of men stood with
their respective boat crews awaiting
the life boats that had been formal
ly allotted to them, and after this I
can - not recall a single instance
wherein a man failed to prove the
American in him. Three boats had
been successfully launched already
from my post, and we were now wait
ing for the fourth boat, oursto come
over, but she never came. The da
vits went wrong, and the jthing just
wouldn't work. Apparently we were
out of luck, and our despairing heart
weren't greatly encouraged by the
decided list the boat took to the star
board which made it almost impos
sible to walk the deck, more so to
successfully launch another boat on
the port, our side of the ship. Two
torpedo boats had already pulled a
way from the port side packed with
boys, and since it was impossible
now to get alongside on the port, the.
few of us who were left there await
ed bur inevitable fate in utter gloom
I sat up on the rail of the ship, as
reconciled to this impending fate as
was possible for one to be, and be
gan smoking cigarettes. Of course,
we'd lost every hope so why not take
the thing as it was? While I was
sitting there, as I looked down into
the water I saw a sight that night I
pray I shall never have to witness a
gain. It was a lad who had fallen
into the ''water without his life belt.
I was trying to pull him up with a
piece of rope I had found, but it
seemed to lack just a few inches of
being long enough to reach him. The
seas were coming very heavy by now
for it seemed that the moment that
we were struck a storm began, and
each wave would break against the
ship just enough to keep him beyond
my reach. There were a good many
others in the water at the time, but
nearly all must have had their life
bels, and were managing - to keep
somewhat above the swell, but this
lad had fought them so long he had
almost given out. I tried and pray
ed all at the same time for a light
swell to bring him just alongside
the boat, but no, the poor fellow
seemed out of luck, and seemed to
realize it, too, for he suddenly stop
ped struggling, looked up once, (I
can see him looking up now), and
as he went down, God rest him; he
shouted up to some of us, ."Well,
boys, I'm going and I didn't have
my chance, but tell mother how I
went." I saw him no more, I was
finally lucky enough to jump over
on oneof the three torpedo - boats
that stayed behind to the rescue, the
other two, with all the transports,
having gone "on, full steam ahead.
This torpedo boat, the last boat to
take men off the ship, (the boat hav
ing listed so that it was dangerous
to lay up to her any longer), laid off
about a quarter of a mile to se,e the
Tuscania go down. Well, she went
alright. I'll testify to that fact. We
then headed for a port, which prov
ed to be seventy-five miles away, a
part of the journey being made over
the same route we had just made be
fore being struck. At 2:00 A. M.,
we anchored in harbor at Buncrana,
Ireland.
We were then taken in by the good
old Irish folk, who Were so warm and
good to us, and so very solicitious
concerning our every possible com
fort. We: spent a week or so of such
hospitality and cordiality as we had
never been shown before. Finally
we were ordered across to England.
