While fish are acknowledged by all to be
q very wholesome aud nutritious food. the
amount used asc ompared TO meat in this

strike ont the appropriations Of $3.50 for
supporting the natatorium with the six

of the several states acquired under the

experiment here proposed, the work to
be undertaken by the general govern
ment. Local and community interest,
under state control. will stimulate re-
suits with far greater zeal and success.
The principal proposition involved
reclamation and settlement by individ-
uals in small holdings-meets my strong
approval, and this bill seems to me TO
present full opportunity for practical
experiment, and under proper safe
guards, the United States retains title
until reclamation is accomplished and

OF the revenue cutter SERVICE" The
secretary quotes from the annual reports
of several of his predecessors to show
the necessity for provision of the law
creating retired list OF officers of the
revenue marine service. The statutes
provide that each revenue vessel shall
have one captain and a stated number
of other officers, but no provision is
made for filling places made practically
vacant by reason of old age or other
physical infrmities. That is, no ap-
pointment can be made until there is an
actual vacancy. The secretary shows
the waiting orders" liat contains nearly
one.third of all the captains in the
service, their ages ranging from 81 to 80
years. The secretary says the need OF
more officers on the active list is urgent,
and recommends that a retired list
be authorized, and places left vacant
filed by promotion as now.
