Mental and Physical Fatigue.
When brain or body is weary the digestive powers are weakened and distaste for ordinary food is often experienced. Under such circumstances the Allenburys Diet is especially valuable. It is pleasant to take, easily digested and assimilated and speedily restorative. Thus it helps the system to recover tone and vigour The Allenburys DIET is prepared from pure rich milk and whole wheat-the two vital food elements--combined in partially pre-digested form.

NEW GERMAN ZEPPELING.
AUTHORITATIVE INFORMATION.
[BY GEORGES PRADE]
We pabish below an important article by M. Georges Prade, the French expert, who gives the intest scientific information about Zeppelin, based on an exantination of the LZ 77, brought down at Revigny and on privat information received from Germany.
Much has been written on Zeppelin unships, Many details, mon sensational than exact, have been given conesrning them. The older types, constructed before the war, and known to experts, did not peruis of an over-poetic de_cription. This has been more than atoned for with the new type, baptized "superZeppelins. by anaogy with super-Dreadnoughts.
These elaborate inventions (such as Zeppelins 400 yards long, carryine artillery and throwing torpedoes from a height of 3,000 yards) are to-day exploded, not only by what we may caly impossibilities of con- struction, but by experience, I visited in detail, with the French officer entrusted with the official report, the Zeppelin brought down on 21st February at Revigny I am able to give, in the absence of an exact scherne-rendered impassible by the almost entire destruction of the apparates a sufficiently precise description, based on actual factors, of the latest types of Zeppelins,
