Right to Seize Ships
By Associated Press
Rio Janeiro, June 6.—Brazil has
replied to the German note protest
ing against the requisitioning of
German ships with a declaration that
the republic has acted within the
strict limits of the war, even as in
terpreted by Germany. The Brazil
lan reply says in part:
"The utilization of German ships
by Brazil follows the torpedoing of
Brazilian merchant ships and as
sures, directly and immediately, al
though by force, satisfaction for the
losses caused by German submarines.
Brazil is acting lawfully and on the
hasis of eevn German law. It has
taken a step which all nations take,
even without abandoning its state of
peace, for the sole reason of forcing
an offending nation to make due rep
aration."

IPENNSY ENGINE
MAKES RECORD
New Type of Locomotive to
Revolutionize Hauling of
Large Trains
Hauling 113 loaded cars over the
Pennsy lines west of Pittsburgh to
Columbus, Ohio, the big I-ls type
freight locomotive turned out of the
Juniata shops several months ago es
tablished a new record Saturday af
ternoon by taking the largest train
ever hauled by a single engine.
A test car was attached to the train
and the performance of the huge
freight puller proved very satisfac
tory. Good time was maintained and
the demonstration of its pulling power
was especially interesting. The en
gine is tile first of the type to be llij
ished for the Pennsy and has been the
subject of many experiments recently
on the Pittsburgh and Middle divi
sions.
Something New
Being larger and more powerful
than the L-ls freight engines now in
general use on the Pennsy, the 1-ls
locomotive is expected to revolution
ize the order of moving vast quanti
ties of freight and to bring about the
I subsequent solution of traffic depart
ment problems.
A type of engine for freight service
to be known as the "N" is under con
struction at the Fort .Wayne shops.
This big machine is several feet longer
than the I-ls design, is more powerful
and has larger cylinders. It is ex
pected that ft will be completed and
ready for service soon, when tests
will be started. Railroad workers be
i ic> \.• the corporation will not build
many more I-ls engines, as the "N"
class may reveal even greater fea
tures in power and economy.
Pennsy to Load Cars
to Maximum Capacity
With the statement that the load
ing of freight cars to their full ca
pacity would be equivalent to adding
120,000 cars to the service of the
roads of the country, the transporta
tion department of the Pennsylva
nia Railroad is distributing a pam
phlet showing how freight hence
forth will be loaded into cars to their
full capacity.
Through cuts it is shown how ship
ments of sugar will be increased
from 100 barrels to 244 barrels by a
method of stacking the barrels to
the full extent of the cars. In the
handling of salt, oil, cotton, fertilizer
and other commodities the ordinary
carload will be increased virtually
250 per cent. Shippers are being en
couraged to use maximum carload in
the future and, wherever possible, to
combine shipments to save space.

Welcome National Prohibi

sections for the dfscussion of spe
cial medical and surgical subjects

10 MILES IN RAIN
Names of Those to Be Dis

Withheld
Fort Niagara, N. Y., June 6.
With the rain pouring down upon
them in torrents at times, at others
the air tilled with a drizzle which was
driven against their faces by a strong
east wind, the members ot the fifteen
companies of Pennsylvanians, all of
them candidates for commissions in
the officers' reserve corps, had" a ten
mile hike yesterday. This was not
the schedule, but the men really

Does Your Husband Drink?
Druggist Tells How to Cure
the Liquor Habit at Horn
Free Proscription Can lie Filled At
Any Drug Store and Given Secretly.
ft. J". Brown, a Cleveland man,
was for many years a confirmed
drunkard. His friends and relatives
despaired of ever redeeming him.
His sister sought the best medical
men in Europe in the hope that she
might find something which would
cure him. Finally she was recom
mended to an eminent chemist, who
gave her a private formula (the
same as appears below) and told her
how to use it. She had it filled at
the drug store and gave it to him
secretly. The results were startling.
In a few weeks he was completely
cured. That was over eight years ago
and he has not touched a drop since.
He now occupies a position of trust
and is enthusiastic in his efforts to
help others overcome the liquor
habit. He feels that he can best do
this by making public the same
formula which cured him. Here is
the prescription: Go to any first
class drug store and get prepared'
tescum powders. Drop one powder
twice a day in coffee, tea or any
liquid. It is harmless, tasteless,
odorless and cannot be detected. You
can use it without the knowledge of
anyone. A lady who recently tried
it on her husband reports: "My hus
band was on a spree when I got the
powders, and he usually stays drunk
from three to four weeks at a time.
After putting the powder in his coffee
for four days, he sobered up and has
