NEW PERISCOPIC RIFLE.

The clever invention of a periscope til!'.' by a young Australians soldier in clie trenches is described in n letter received by the Governor-General or Australia from General Birdwood. General '.Biiil'.viiod partly atrributes the "complete moral superiority'' of his I'oree over the Turks to tins new invention. The letter reads: "Our complete moral superiority over the Titrx "> oartly due to the very clever invention of a man named Beach, who produced a periscope rifle. When we gqt here* vve denuded the whole of our transpoi iof their 3ooking-glasses, and made up some 2.000 periscopes on our little be.ach. Tliis man then made a very simple device. The result is the Turk •ml;- sees the muzzle of n rifle coming over the parapet without the head am shoulders of the marksman following it. We understand from prsoners that lie dislikes this intensely.'' lit connection with the foregoing, the following extract from the Army Corps j orders is of general interest: "The ! Army Corps commander wishes to record his appreciation of the clever inveaton of a periscope attachment for rifle, the work of Lance-Cornoral W. 0. B. Beach. 2nd Battalion, Australian Imperial* Forces. As so far as is known this invention has not been tried in France, the lieutenant-general commadinfi' has forwarded the idea re Lord Kitchener for consideration." Got a cold in the head? Try a few sniffs from a Nazol Inhaler, and yon *vill feel a marked relief. Repeat this simple treatment several times, and the cold will vanish. Nothing like "NAZOL" for relieving colds, just as there's nothing like the sun for making daylight. "NAZ--01." is a sound, natural remedy, easy to take, and perfectly harmless.. 60 1 doses 1/6.
