A weapon cunningly contrived to suit the criminal’s purposes was
discovered recently by the Boston police. It is a pistol camouflaged as a
pocket knife. The knife is about four inches long, with a blade half an
inch shorter. On the under side is a chamber which holds a .22 calibre
cartidge. This is push'ed back into the knife handle after loading. A
spring actuated lever is in the top of the knife. To fire the pistol this
lever is pulled out. On snapping back it fires the cartridge.

Women Need Swamp-Root.
Thousands of women have kidney:
and bladder trouble and never sus
pect it.
Women’s complaints often prove
! to be nothing else but kidney trou- !
ble or bladder disease.
, If the kidneys are not in a healthy!
i condition, they may cause the other
| organs to become diseased.
Pain in the back, headache, loss of
I ambition, nervousness, are oftentimes
| symptoms of kidney trouble.
Don’t delay starting treatment. Dr. j
Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, a physician’s!
prescription, obtained at any drug!
store, may be just the remedy needed |
to overcome such conditions.
Get a medium or large size bottle;
immediately from any drug store.
However, if you wish first to test
this great preparation send ten cents
to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N.
Y., for sample bottle. When writing
be sure and mention the Americus |

U. S. Opposes Principle
Os Warship Settlement
WASHINGTON, Jan. 14.—The
I nited States government has re
fused to accept any part of indemnity
to be paid by Germany for the de
struction of the German fleet in
Scapa Plow, because it objects in
principle to the settlement made by
the supreme council, it was said to
day at the state department.
Germany, in compensation for the
destruction of the surrendered war
ships, is required, to deliver to the
Allies certain inland steamers and
| harbor facilities, such as floating
.docks and tugs, and the council has
decided to allocate 2 per cent of
this material to the United States.
Ambassador Wallace today in
formed the council that if its de
cision with respect to the award was
final, the United States would waive
its claim to any part of the indem
: nity.
