We Americans are a
nervous people how nice
that sounds l. Nervous |
1t stands for hneness and
quickness and delicacy of
feeling and thought.
Yes; but do you know
that nervousness is mostly
stomach-out-of-order? We
eat too much, and eat in a
hurry, and wash down our
food. We don't taste our
food is it because our
food is not worth tasting?
The remedy is: slow
eating and pure food =
have good meat and pota-
toes and fine tea and
coffee, and take time to
enjoy it. The palate is
the stomach's boss, and
has to be pleased.
As far as drinking is
concerned, the cheapest

pure fine tea = Scha22sngs

ton. He explained to the reporter that
one of the plans for the future improve
ment of the yard contemplstes the con-
struction at this point, practically adjoin
ing the western wall, Of a great store shed
for guns, approximately 265 feet long.
There Is ut present no place In the yard
for the convenient storage Of completed
and tested guns, and ordinary foresight de-
mands that provision be made at once for
such a structure.
Accordingly, Congress will be asked, at
the next session. to make provision for this
construction, and it will be explained that
doubtless by the time the building is ready
for use the reserve supply of guns and
projectiles for the ships Of the navy
will be finished, for which $3.50, 600
was appropriated in the last naval
bill, and the guns for the auxiliary
cruisers. for which 100000 was given. Thus
there was provision made for $780, 900
worth Of gun and pro1ectile work, and in
the course Of time the finished product
will be on hand, and. there will be no place
for its safe-keeping. To store it in the
shops would be to impede the progress of
the ordinary work, and there is no con-
venient space at the proving ground.
The spot selected by Lieut.. Moore for the
projectile structure is an admirable site

Some Improvements in Progress at
the Old Navy Yard.
CHANGES WHICH WERE NEEDED
Expenditure Of the Money Appro-
priated by Congress.
ROPOSED MODEL TANK

There is a constant tendency on the part
of those in charge Of the great naval gun
foundry at the Washington navy yard to
enlarge and improve the plant so as to
bring it nearer and nearer deserving the
title of the most complete equipment of the
kind in the world. So far as it has gone.
with the somewhat economical appropria-
tions allotted by Congress, the plant is
well-nigh at the top point Of mechanical
efficiency, but one of the great handicaps
on the effort to produce a perfect modern
establishment has been the location of the
plant in this antiquated yard, with its old
buildings, and, at the beginning, it's lack
of modern conveniences. Consequently, the
foundry has had to pass through a period
of destruction, as well as one of construc-
ton. and the gradual development of the
institution has been slower in consequence.
The first gun foundry was placed in an
old building formerly used for forging an
chors. That structure was remodeled to a
slight degree, and when the success of the
scheme of making the naval guns here was

THE POULTRY ASSOCIATION.
Getting Arrangements Ready for Next
Winters Show.

Getting Arrangements Ready for Next
Winters Show.
The National Poultry Association met
Wednesday evening at E. L. Schmid's S12
18th street, to make further arrangements
for the poultry and pet stock show of the
coming winter. Secretary Howard laid be-
fore the society long and complete pro-
gram of the work already under headway.
Communications were read from a number
of breeders in all parts of the country, ex-
pressing their intention to exhibit stock,
and inquiring about facilities for shipping,
care and feeding. New England poultry
men, who will be favored this year by the
early date for the Washington show. evil
IDENTIFY intend to come to Washington in
force. Philander Williams, the noted Brah-
ma man, will show several pens of Light
Brahmas, a breed with the improvement
of which his name has been identified for
a quarter of century w. E. Mack, the
noted New England breeder of White Wy
andottes, also writes that he will exhibit
his birds here. Mr.. Mack could not be
here last year owing to engagements at
other shows coming on the same date with
ours In this connection it was stated by
Secretary Howard that the Atlanta show,
which had been set for the second week in
January, the same as that of the Wash
ington show. would probably be pushed
along to a later date in the month, be-
cause a great many southern poultrymen
wish to come here with their birds. The
selection of judges was taken up. and the
list partially decided on. Until completed
little can be said authoritatively as to who
will judge the show. but it is not unlikely
that Philander Williams will act in the
Asiatic class, exclusive of those in which
he is himself an exhibitor. P. H. Scudder
will also, doubtless, be the faculty. 1t
is practically certain. although no definite
action was taken, that judging this year
will not be by score, as it was last winter,
but by comparison. This seems necessary
on account of the large number of birds
shown and the desire on part of those who
visit the show to know early m the exhi-
bition just who has taken the honors. Many
exhibitors send birds solely to get the score
cards by noted judges, and last years show
was in this way great boon to poultry
men, not only In this immediate vicinity.

An Old-Time Relic.
One of the relics of olden time is to be
seen in this part of the yard in the form Of
a scalehouSe for the weighing of COAL
which occupies prominent position inn
mediately south of the Offices 1t was orig
inally a deckhouse from an old man-of-
war and being given a roof, was anchored
securely to the ground and left to accumu-
late the marks of years and to become an
eyesore. 1t is the hope of the officers that
one Of the naval appropriation bills of the
near future will contain provision for a
new scalehouse that will be more COM
mensurate with the state of things at The
yard.
AS the work of developing the gun plant
continues extensions of the railroad system
IN the yard are made, and at present there
are fully three miles Of track within the
yard walls. Changes are made from time
to time, and Lieut.. Moore stated the other
day that the cost of handling materials
had been reduced to a minimum by this
modern system of transportation.

features of the new foundry, as it will
practically be, is an iron room, located in
about the center of the building on the
north side, from which the cupolas will
all be supplied with metal. Elevators will
be installed to facilitate the handling of
the heavy masses of iron and oIher means
will be provided to economic time and
