DOWN PLANE WITH RIFLE
Remarkable Feat of Marksmanship
Described by American
Newspaper Man.
Atlanta, Ga.—How n German air
plane wns brought down by a squad of
American infantrymen armed only
with rifles is graphically described in
a letter from llnrl II. Coffee, well-
known to newspaper men of the South
through his former connection with the
Western Newspnper Union, nnd who
is now serving in France with the
Eighty-ninth division.
A small squad of American soldiers,
among them Mr. Coffee, was resting
by the side of a road, when n German
plane, flying very low, passed over arid
began dropping hand greandes. The
Americans opened fire with their rifles
and a change shot struck the pilot tu
the head, killing him instantly nnd
bringing the machine to the ground
with a ernsh. This is the first Instance
reported where an airplane has been
brought down with rifles, nnd it Is not
likely to be duplicated again unless
some exceptionally good marksman
gets a chance shot home.

London.—There’s nothing uppish
about Admiral Sims. Anybody who
has joined the navy for the purpose
of helping lick the child killers looks
good to Sims.
Bill Swinger, former telegraph op
erator, now a first-class wireless op
erator, wus plodding wearily about the
Grosvenor Garden district trying to
find some one who could talk United
States and direct him to navy head
quarters, when a big man with a red
dish beard stopped him.
He talked United States and soon
found that BUI waa hopelessly lost. It
Isn’t everybody who Is directed about

Many thousands of
women suffering from
womanly trouble, have
been benefited by the use
ot Cardui, the woman's
tonic, according to letters
we receive, similar to this
one from Mrs. Z. V. Spell,
ofHayne, N.C. “Icculd
not stand on my feet, and
just suffered terribly,”
she says. “As my suf
fering was so great, and
he had tried other reme
dies, Dr. had us
get Cardui. . » I began
improving, and it cured
me. I know, and my
doctor knows, what Car
dui did for *me, for ny
nerves ana health were
about gone.”
TAKE
The Woman’s Tonic
She writes further: *1
am in splendid health..,
can do my work. I feel I
owe it to Cardui, for I was
in dreadful condition."
I! you ate nervous, run
down and weak, or suffer
from headache, backache,
etc., every month, try
Cardui. Thousands of
women praise thi* medi
cine for the good it haa
done them, and many
physicians who have used
Cardui successfully with
their women patients, for
yean, endorse this medi
cine. Think what it means
