FRENCH WRITERS CRITICISE AERIAL DEFENSES OF PARIS Paris, March 23, 4.45 A. M. — Georges Clemenceau and other promi nent writers in the Paris press criticize the aerial defense* of Paris. They de clare Zeppelins should not have been aMe to reach Paris Sunday night which was clear aud starligJit. The danger of an air tight over the capital with the possibility of the fall of a Zeppelin with its cargo of unused ex plosives is |>ointed out. These views are shared by the deputies represent ing the Paris district, who decided at a meeting yesterday to make represen tations on tie subject to Premier Vivi ■ ni. Details have not been obtained as to the circumstances of the second raid upon Paris which was attempted last night. It is understood that two fleets had planned to bombard the cap ital, but it is supposed they turned back because of the heavy rain storm when 25 miles from the oity. When announcement was made that a raid was impending French aeroplane flotil las took the air from the entrenched camps and searchlights were trained upon the sky from every quarter. After the city firemen once had sig nalled that the danger was past, a sec ond alarm n-as sounded because of a report that Zeppelins had been seen flying over the Department of the Oise. When they had not appeared at 3 a. m. bugles sounded the "retreat" and the lights of Ihe city were turned on again.

COUGHS UP LIVE FROG Sharon. Pa., March 23.—After spending time and money for medical Ireatment to relieve violent pains in Jiis stomach, which puzzled physicians, James Smith, residing on the swamp road of Mount Vernon township, was seized with a fit of coughing and evi denced great relief after it was over. Investigation showed that he had coughed up a small frog, which, after a few moments, began to show signs of life. Slnith remembers swallowing some thing resembling a frog while drinking fiom a brook cne day last summer, at least nine months ago. Here Is Good News for Stomach Victims Some very remarkable results are being obtained bv treating stomach, liver anil intestinal troubles with pure vegetable oils, which exert a cleansing, =o'thing and purifying action upon the lon-er bowels, removing the obstructions of poisonous fecal matter and gases and preventing their absorption by the blood. This done, the food is allowed free passage frnm the stomach, fer mentation ceases and stomach troubles quickly disappear. George 11. Mayr, for twenty years a leading rhicago druggist, cured himself !md many of his friends of stomach, liver and intestinal troubles of years' standing by this treatment, and so suc cessful was the remedy he devised that it has since been placed in the hands of druggists all over the country, who have sold thousands of bottles. Though absolutely harmless, the ef fect of the medicine is sufficient to convince any one o f its remarkable effectiveness, and within 24 hours the sufferer feels like a new person. Mayr's Wonderful Remedy is sold bv lending driiugists everywhere with the positive understanding that your money will be refunded without question or quibble if ON'E bottle fails to give you absolute satisfaction. : Item Welcomed ij By Many Men j !
