Terrible Engine.
i An Italian scientist, Senor
Ulivi, has invented one of the
| most terrible and destructive en
jgines of war that has ever been
| even dreamed of in the world.
Like all great inventions it is
■comparatively simple and inex
pensive. He calls his invention
the “F-ray,” which is merely a
i form of electrical oscillations, so
1 manipulated that they can ex
Jplode gunpowder, dynamite or
similar substances when inclosed
jin metal at a distance of eight
I miles, and when buried as deep
as twenty-one feet under water.
This terrible engine can be used
' on land, or on sea, and magazines
I fortresses or battleships can be
! blown to atoms, and even air
ships or flying machines carry
’ ing explosives can be instantly
1 destroyed- The new invention is
; portable, and may be loaded on
and sent about from place to
place on a motor car, or it can
be stored in the ship cabin or a
] small vessel, and can be used at a
f moment’s notice. If this new
' invention is even half as effec
tive i nits deadly work as it is
s claimed to be, it will put an end
to our modern system of war
e fare, and it will work a complete
revolution in our methods now

prevailing of amicably killing

ventions that cannot be affected
by this new weapon will be pro
duced to meet the demands, or
whether we will be driven back
to the use of the spear, the jav

er primitive weapon, remains to
be seen; but certainly the great
fortress and the great dread
naught will avail nothing
against this new discovery. It
might be well for us to hark
back to old time methods. They
were more bloody and destruc

expensive. Our dreadnoughts
and great siege guns do not kill
many people as a rule by the im
pact of their missiles, but they
kill vast numbers of innocent
people by imposing upon them
burdens that they cannot bear,
and depriving them of food and
shelter which they could easily
obtain under different conditions.

Little Has Operation.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, Dec. 4.—Infor
mation has been received in
Little Rock to the effect that
Hon. A- G. Little, who represent
ed Mississippi county in the

pendicitis. His little son, Thom
as, recently underwent an opera

cation of the Odd Fellows’ Indus
trial Home on the Shirey lands,
west of the city, in compliance
with the will of the late A. W
Shirey, who bequeathed his
large estate to the Odd Fellows
of the state. Litigation from
the wife and heirs was compro

years, and at times became so bad I
would become unconscious. I have been
found in that condition many times.
Physicians did not seem to be able to
do me any good. I would become
weak and for days at a time could do
no work. Not long ago I got a box
of Dr. Miles’ Laxative Tablets, and
after using them found I had never
tried anything that acted in such a
mild and effective manner. I believe
I have at last found the remedy that
■ults my case."
Thousands of people are sufferers
from habitual constipation and
while possibly realizing something
of the danger of this condition, yet
neglect too long to employ proper
curative measures until serious ill*
ness often results. The advice of
all physicians is, “keep your bowels
clean,” and it's good advice.
Dr. Miles’ Laxative Tablets are
sold by ail druggists, at 23 cents a
box containing 23 doses. If not
found satisfactory, your money is
returned.

AuJ For Three Summers Mrs. Via*
cent Was Unable to Attend to
Any of Her Housework.
Pleasant Hill, N. C.—“I suffered for
three summers,’' writes Mrs. Walter
Vincent, of this town, "and the third and
last time, was my worst
1 had dpeadfnl nervous headaches and
prostration, and was scarcely able to
walk about Could not do any of my
housework.
I also had dreadful pains In my tack
and rides and when one of those weak,
sinking spells would come on me, I
would have to give up and lie down,
until It wore off.
1 was certainly In a dreadful state of
health, when I Anally decided to try
Cardul the woman’s tonic, and 1 Armly
believe I would have died if I hadn't
taken it.
After I began taking Cardul, | was
greatly helped, and all three bottles re
lieved me entirely.
I fattened up, and grew so much
stronger in three months, I felt like an
other person altogether.'*
Cardul Is purely vegetable and genUe
acting. Its Ingredients have a mild, tonic
effect, on the womanly constitution.
Cardul make* for increased strength,
Improves the appetite, tones up the ner
vous system, and helps to make pale,
sallow cheeks, fresh and rosy.
Cardul has helped more than a million
weak women, during the past 50 years.
It will surely do for you, what it has
done for them. Try Cardul today.
