Record ed in the casualty lift are the names of several sisters, who with other women nur.ses stood bravely by their posts thruout the terrific delude of explosives. There is in the neighborhood one laro hospital and another in which there arc American workers but neither of there appears to have suf fered. Last summer a number of American dorlors and nurses were killed and wounded when these same hospitals were rallied by the Ger mans. Four I'leWs of llun-i. This latest horror was perpetrated Sunday night, apparently by four squadrons of enemy planes whh h ap pear to have comprised more (ban a score of maHitncs. A great number of bombs were dropped, about I!0 per cent of them huge affairs which dug vast craters In the hospital grounds and the rest high explosive, shrapnel which sent their dcalh-deallng bul lets tearing In every direction thru out tho crowded hospital tents and buildings. A three-scutoil airplane was broiiKht down by gunfire whleh wns flylnK ut low altitude and the occu pants were made prlsonor. The ene my captain and tho pilot sustained comparatively light sbmpuel wounds whilo (ho observer was not hurt, When questioned why he had direct ed his men against hosplttils, the captain explained In n. matter of fact way that he did not sen the Red Cross signs, lie said he was seeking military objectives and had no de sire to molest hospitals. Humblng Hospitals. With a shrug of his shoulders the Gorman captain added that If the Rritlsh chose to build their hospitals near railways they must expect to get them bombed. The captain spobo excellent Eng lish. Asked whero he had learned It, hcrcptled that ho had been in diplomatic service beforo the war. Sunday night's raid was divided Into two phases, the first of which begun shortly after 10 o'clock and lasted until 11 o'clock. Not satisfied with this, the enemy returned at 11:40 o'clock and heavily bombed hospitals filled with men and women In one building which was dam aged most seriously all the patients wero suffering from compound frac tures whit h made necessary their limbs being strapped iuthe air.

ITALIA N X A V A L II EA DQU A H- TEHS, Saturday, May IS. (By the Associated Press.). The details of the recent Italian nail exploit at Polo show that It was one of the most audacious feats of the war, worthy to rank with the British at ZeebniKRo and Merrhnae at Santi- aKO. Plans wero lonK matured oy Lieutenant Commander Pellesrln , who adopted unusual means of se crecy to safeguard the project. To divert attention, he took serv ice in the trenches on the Piave, and when ho wa3 ready to start, gave out that he was going to visit his friends. He was accompanied by an other officer and two sailors. The party was escorted by destroy ers and arrived at Pola at 2 o'clock in the morn iir. It was very dark, as tho moon had been down two hours. A IlKht wind blew off shore, which prevented the sounds of preparation Koins laudward. Tho entrance to the channel was loft yards across, with a Ions neck leading into the grout harbor in which lay Austria's fleet of battle ships, cruisers and destroyers, en circled by a crowning terrace of land batteries. In the obscurity the guard ship at the entrance was dimly vi.iiblo swung to one side, the guards appar ently .sleep. Thero was completo lack of watchfulness. Final preparation was now made for a dash in the darkness. Com mander . Pellegrini and his compan ions put on rubber suits which could bo Inflated. Their plan was to dis charge torpedoes at the big ship, then blow tip their own craft, Jump over board and await capture or drowning All realized that there was prac tically no chance of returning alive.

Every available vessel is being utilize in govern ment service. Many ships that have been carrying rubber from Sumatra and Brazil have been taken for active trans port duty. This will necessarily force a temporary curtailment of tire production. So, make the most of the tires you have. Use good tires. Take good care of them. Keep them in perfect re pair. See that they are properly inflated. Increase their mileage by careful driving. Keep out of car tracks and away from bumps. Don't scrape the curb or apply brakes too suddenly. Get every mile your tires have in them. Only in that way can you be assured of your car's continuous service.

Dear Sirs: 1 don't think there was ever anybody, man, woman or child who was or is more constip.tcd than my little three year oM boy was. Why sir, he was so bad before we got him the Nujol tliat we would have to leave his bowels unmoved for three or four days, then use almost a cjuart of water in a syringe to-move them. The poor lktle fellow would almost go into spasms and his father could never stay in the room where he was! It would take almost an hour's work to get them to move. lie fiad been constipated for two years. I think tiie patr.u mcr.iiMfi did it. I have known thi doctor to be here and give him live tablespoons of castor oil, one every half hour to get his bowels to move. We tried four different doctors, one a well known specialist, but none could help him. Thrte advised operations, said it was the only cure. 1 have always had a horror of operations and I guess always will.. - We were going to try a well known woman doctor who claims she cures without an operation, when I coaxed my husband to let me try Nujol. I liad read so much about it, Z told him even it it didn'r help him it would not hu;t. We tried it, started giving him three tablesjHXjn tills a day, one afcer each meal, then as his bowels moved better we decreased the dese as per directions. We used two bottles and a half and we cured him. How thankful we were. Tears come to my eyes, even now, when I think of how that poor little fellow suffered. Just think a little tJt, kardiy able to talk prainly. 1. He has not taken a drop of it since last June. I have wanted to write before, but kept neglecting it till I thought perhaps my letter v.-cu!J relieve lots and loa of other people. Again 1 say, Gcd Bless Nujol, and 1 will never be wiihout it or cease to recommend it. From a mother whose heart will always be thankful for your great remedy for constipation.
