UNCLE SAM’S MARINES.
A Fin* Body ef Fighter* and AI way*
R**dy For Battl*.
United States marine* are always to
be found where trouble breaks out If
the scene is in reach of transports ot
warships. They are quartered on every
first class ship of the navy, ready to go
ashore as Infantry, a» heavy or light
artillery or in machine gun squads.
There is not and never was a* better
body of fighting men ashore or afloat
than the American marines. Their tra
dition of efficiency and fearlessness is
one of the finest. Usually they go
against the enemy when heavily out
numbered and often are required to
hold their own in the midst of hostile
populations until bluejackets and the
army can be sent to back them up. it
is only natural that the most adventur
ous spirits from every quarter of tho
world, soldiers of fortune who want to
be always in a good fight, should have
been attracted to a force which offers
so many opportunities of the kind.
No company, no squad, of United
States marines has ever shown the
white feather. They are of the cream
of military nobility. On their caps
they wear a little metal globe and the
words “Semper Fldelis"—they go wher
ever the flag is carried, where trouble
is thickest, and they are the ever faith
ful legion which never fails us.—I’rovi
deuce Journal.
COAXING THE SALMON.
Try Trout Fishing Tactics Wh*n You
Go After This Gam* Fish.
When you are going to make a try
for salmon remember your trout fish
ing. Keep low in the grass and bushes,
cast delicately over the entire pool, be
ginning at the tail, where the fish are
most apt to be in ordinary weather,
and, working up to the very bead,
where they are often found after a
rise of water, propel the fly with the
variety of motion known to every troot
fisher, and particularly try it at vari
ous depths.
I have often found that the only way
to start a salmon was to sink the fly
at least two feet and rely upon a tiny
spasmodic twitch now and then (as of
a drowning Insect! to do the trick.
This Is often effective after a fish has
come up once and refuses to repeat the
experiment.
w nen a rise comes 11 win pronauiy
be a slow one. Do not move tbe fly at
all after tbe flrat sign. Strike lightly,
but firmly, on the first Impact If tbe
line is short, and when you have count
ed two or three after the rise If the
line Is long. Advice not to strike. If
applicable at all, pertains only to swift
water when fishing downstream. Un
der any other conditions failure to
strike is ofteu suicidal.*—Outing.
What You Eat In Apple*
Do you know what you are eating
when you eat an apple? You are eat
ing malic acid, tbe property that makes
buttermilk so healthful. You are eat
ing gallic acid, one of the most neces
sary elements in human economy. You
are eating sugar in the most assimila
ble form, combined carbon, hydrogen
and oxygen caught and imprisoned
from the sunshine. You are eating al
bumen in its most available state. You
are eating n gum allied to the “fra
grant medicinal gums of Araby." You
are eating phosphorus In the only form
in which it is available as a source of
all brain and nerve energy. In addi
tion to all these, you are drinking the
purest water and eating the most
healthful and desirable fiber for the re
quired •Toughness" in food elements.

BERLIN PAPERS SAT
MUST CLING TO BELGIUM
COPENHAGEN, Aug. 11.—The
Berlin Lokal Anzelger, commenting
on the recent proceedings in the Brit
ish House of Commons, says:
"Mr. Asquith's inquiry as to whe
ther we were ready to restore Bel
gium's ful freedom can only be meant
as a rhetorical question, for Mr. As
quith must know that, aside from a
handful of dreamers, nobody thinks
of handing Belgium again to England
and France.”
The Catholic organ, the Cologne
Volks Zeitung, attempts to prove that
the retention of Belgium and the an
nexation of regions in the east are
indispensable to that protection of
the German frontiers which Chancel
lor Michaelis specified.
The Tages Zeitung adopts this
enthusiastically. Some of the radical
newspapers, on the other hand, seek
to give the impression that the gov
ernment is so bound by the reichstag
resolution that the entente allies have
only to propose peace without an
nexations or indemnities to obtain it.

ST PAUL, Aug. 11.—Some relief
from the extreme heat that has ruin

reports reached St. Paul of a violent

It was believed that the wind carried
