Winnipeg, Man, Mar. 28â€"(Special) '-â€"One of the best known and most ‘lpopular locomotive engineers running ‘Out of Winnipeg on tho C.P.R. is Mr. lBen Rafferty, who lives at 175 Maple 'ZStrcet. And Illl'. Rafferty gives some advice to railway men that in these clays of blockades and strain and and Vigorous Strong ;\\'01'1'y none can al‘im'd to overlook. s'I‘hat advice is "use Dodd’s Kidney Pills." Mr. Rafferty says: “Yea‘s of long runs on the railway had broken dowu my constitution. My back gave out entirely. Terrible Sharp cutting pains would follow one another, be to get rest and sleep, and they were the very things Icould not get. Finally 1', got so bad I had to lay off work. 5 “After being laid up ten days I started to use Dodd’s Kidney Pills. The first night after using them I slept soundly. In three days I threw away the belt I had worn for years, and now I have not the slightest pain in the back. I sleep soundly and wake up j0yous and refreshed, and Dodd's Kidney Pills did it.” as...â€"._,_*_______ HELPED BY AN ELEPHANT. ’ The King of Siam, the fiftieth anâ€" niversary of whose accession to the throne was recently celebrated at Bangkok, is only sixty-five years of age, for he ascended the throne at fifteen. Miss Leonowen, an Anglish governess, whose pupil he was for six years, described him as an apt schoâ€" lar, handsome, affectionate, and gen- erous, with lofty ideals. Chulalongâ€" korn, which happens to be the menâ€" . arch's name. has verified that charac- ter by progressive rule. He has giv- en Siam an enlightened government, 'and yet zealously guarded native cus~ ‘toms and institutions. lence, while building canals, raiIWays, lighthouses ‘and hospitals. he still ,serves as a priest in the Buddhist temple. He has 'organized his army on the German model, but his bodyguard is still composed of amazonsâ€"400 daughters He has also abolished the second king, who exercised oneâ€" ,third of tlie Royal power, and has established instead a legislative coun- cii of nobles. At these cabinet counâ€" cils one of the sacred white elephants is always present. of his nobles.

Food a. physician back to health and he gains an experience that he can use to benefit others. For this reason ('lrapeâ€"Nuts food is daily ro- commended to patients by hundreds of pliysiCians who have cured themâ€" selves of stomach trouble. One docâ€" tor says: "Although a. physician and trying to aid and assist my fellow beings to enjoy good health it must be admit- :ted I formerly did not enjoy the best of health myself. In January, 1899 I only weighed 119 pounds. At this time I was living in the Ohio valley and began to think I. had about seen my best days. One day about 3 years ago I had an opportunity to try Grapeâ€"Nuts food for my breakâ€" fast. I liked it so well that I ate three teaspoonfuls three times a day and have regularly used it up to the present time, and I now weigh 155, a, gain of 36 pounds and enjoy the best of health. “Not only has Grapeâ€"Nuts made this wonderful change in me, but through it I have helped my friends, relatives and patients.

Great Impr ovements Will S 0 on be Made in Small Arms. 'All armies are now at work trying constantly to perfect the infantry arm, and it is probable thatsooner or later the automatic rifle will re place the magazine arm. The adoption of protective armor shields by the field artillery has led to experiments for the purpose of giving to the projectiles of the inâ€" fantry arm a greater power of pencâ€" tration. To accomplish this it has been proposed to use in the infantry bullet a central steel core. or to make the oglve (pointed end) of steel, or finally to make the entire ball of steel. Efforts are also being made to obtain a. more powerful powder, which will give a higher muzzle velocity. None Of these proâ€" jected improvements, however, will interfere in any way with the early adoption of an automatic gun. In View of these probable improve- ments in the infantry rifle, the “quesâ€" tion arises, will the machine gun‘any longer be needed when every man is provided with an automatic gun capable of a. very high rate of fire for at least some seconds. A small number of men armed with automatic rifles can produce in a given time as great a hail of pro- jcctilos as a machine gun. But it is .not for this reason that the military world is inclining to an automatic infantry gun. In choosing a. new arm for the infantry it is a mistake, according to the best authorities, to lay too much stress on RAPIDITY OF FIRE. rifles, like those of automobiles, have falâ€" len into the error of supposing that an increase of rapidity alone is the basis of all progress and improve- ment. The adoption of an automatic gun is not engaging the world's attenâ€" tion because of the possibility of thereby, attaining a prolonged rapid rate of fire, butbocause it will fur- nish the means of delivering rapidly a comparatively small number of shots without taking the gun from the shoulder. This willlincrez se the chances of hitting a comparatively small or a. fleeting target at some distance, because the soldier can fire a. series of shots without lowering his piece or changing his sight. ‘ Q It is evident, therefore, that along. with the automatic infantry arm, armies can still utilize machine guns for obtaining a continued rapid fire of long duration. , But there is another difference beâ€" tween the two arms, in that the auâ€" tomatic firearm of the infantry will always be a light affair, while the machine gnu, because of its mechanâ€" ism, ateessories, tripod, etc., is no- cossarily more or less heavy. In the construction of the infantry gun the first condition to be fulfilled is that of accuracy, and the ranges to be considered are primaril)r those at which comparatively small tar- gets (skirmishers kneeling or lying down, for example) may be still so clearly visible as to be fired on with effect. This arm is therefore intended, above all, for comapratively short ranges. TH E MA CHINE G UNS, on the other hand, are so construct- ed as to give a prolonged rapid fire, and their cone of projectiles is .uf'liciently dense to admit of their effective use at comparatively leng distances. Accuracy is therefore not so import-ant, and hence this arm is better for long range fire than the infantry rifle, and another advantage lies in the fact that it may be fired over our own infantry advancing to the attack, even on. level ground. This does not exclude the use of the machine gun at short distances, ii the circumstances require it, al- though in general the. well aimed fire of infantry armed with an automatic gun is then more effective. This distinction between long range and short range fire is not new. Indeed, history proves it to be very 01d. ’ Even in the time of Frederick the Great light guns for firing at longer ranges were attached to the infantry, and in several armies since that day specially trained marksmen have been utilized the longer ranges. 'At present it is held that the machine gun will in future actions be charged with the fire at long range, which recent campaigns have shown to be so effective. The circumstances in which it will come into play are easy to determine. For example, a body of troops on the defensive should force the adversary to give up his close order formations (which facilitate his advance) as early as possible, and should break down the morale of the enemy. In both cases the machine gun will prove effective. Moreover, if the defender forces the enemy to open fire prematurely he again gains an 1MP ORTANT ADVAN TA G E . Here again machine guns would be of use. In the attack, on the other hand, firing at long range may at- tract the fire from our own troops advancing in front, which will be an advantage for the attacker, since the advancing troops can thus more readily reach their position for deâ€" .rlsive action without too great loss. The cooperation of several firing lines, made possibly by the use of machine guns for fire at long range, ' Issue No. 13â€"04. There are very few age. and clean. will also contribute to success in the final assault. The machine gun detachments me to be attached to the infantry in future. The fire of machine gum; is intended to contribute only indirectâ€" ly to the result, 3.110 fire at short range by infantry being still the only direct decisive element in battle. The main use of the machine guns will be to permit the infantry of the at- tack to advance more. rapidly to the principal firing posit-ion, and from there to attempt to gain the superâ€" iority of fire. This appears to be the latest conclusion of the authoriâ€" ties on the subject. #44“...â€" THE SNIFFER. Grant.â€"â€"“Do you know anything that's good for a cold?" Grimesâ€"“Do I know anything?
