THE LATEST SCIENTIFIC KNOWLEDGE
ON FOOD AND DIGESTION,

The real cause of most of our diseases is sim
ply an inability to digest. food. This induces
thinness. weakness loss OF flesh and fat, loss oil
vitality, wasting away
Loss OF flesh and vitality means constant liza
bility to sickness Wasting away is consump-
ton.
If getting thin is what ails you, there is only
one thing to do-get fat. The only way to do
is to take something which will help your stom
ach and stimulate it to do its work.
If you are tired out you do not like to move
your legs or arms. If your stomach is tired ii
does not like to digest; it cannot do its work.
To eat, or even to eat with relish does not
necessarily mean that one is being nourished
Strength, vitality and flesh are the true indlca-
ions.
Getting thin Is sign that you need the Sha-
ker Digestive Cordial. You would not be get
ting thin if you could digest your food.
The Shaker Digestive Cordial not only CON
tains artificialy dgested food, but it will digest
other foods in The stomach.

OUR PRESENT NAVAL POLICY.
Important Effects on American Ship
building.
(Engineering Magazine. J

The programme that eventuated in
three battleships was carefully thought
out by Secretary B. 3. Tracy, and he
felt warranted in recommending the
building of eight Three were all that
Congress felt willing to authorize. 1t
seems. in the light of the progress which
is now matter of history, that had
eight been authorized in 1890 instead Of
three eight would now be in commission
or available for it, instead of three, and
no one qualified to judge will gainsay
that the capabilities of the shipbuilders
had been accurately gauged by the navy
department.
It,may be argued that the throwing OF
eight battleships on the market at that
time would have acted as au over slim u
liant to the development of the industry,
with the consequent certain reaction.
But am neither Offering nor com batting
purely speculative arguments l am
dealing only with accomplished facts
and known performances.
If We turn elsewhere for illustration or
example, we shall find that twice s moe
we began on our new navy has England
Launched on her shipbulding market
sin gle programs of new construction ex
ceeding in displacement and cost our en-
tire feet.
Before we began our new navy, Great
Britain had the Belierophon as flagship
of her North Atlantic and West Indian
squadron, old even then, but more than
a match for any vessel we possessed.
But as we have Launched ship after ship,
the English vessels OH this station have
been keeping pace with us Fin strength.
and the successor to the Bellerophon, the
splendid armored cruiser Blake, has been
succeeded by battleship since our
Indiana was commissioned.
The Inference is obvious. What we
have seen and what we know requires
no argument to esta blish; and we have
seen and we know that the policy OF the
new navy, more than all other causes
combined, has raised American ship
building from it's struggle for existence a
eminece of to day.
The New York, Columbia, Minneapolis.
Indiana, Massachusetts, Brooklyn and
Iowa made the st. Louis and st. Paul
possible; and they also made possiblesany
needed nun beIof st. Louis and St.
Paul, or better ships in the future. In
a word, our policy Of the new navy broke
the back of England's shipbuilding
monopoly, and broke 1T beyond cure.
There ia another prime consideration
germ ane to tibet question Of stimulus in
volved In the naval policy of the govern
,nent-the fact that. Notwithstanding the
feeble state of oontributory industries at
the outset, and the consequent necessity
of initial development, the tests pre-
scribsd for physical qualities of material
ussd In our ships have constantly exceed
ed in severity and precision the tests of
any other country. These requirements
have been met and overcome, and today
we can say with pride that the steel
made for the navy and merchant vessels
Of the United States is far superior to
that of any other nation.

WHO Was Eugene Aram.

The idea of the story of Eugene Aram,
as told by Bulwer Lytton in his novel OF

incident which also supplied material
for poem by Thomas Hood and drama
by Willis. 1t is a story of kDares-
borough schoolmaster, a man of educa-
ton and relnem ent, who. in l745, com.

peculiar circumstances. The case, on &C
count of its psychological features. ex.
cited wide interest at the time, and, WIGS
the question Of much discussion among
the students of mental phenomena. OF
Bulwer's novels of crime this is I'M
ioubtedly the most Interesting study.

Sports For Women.

The variety of sports in which women
now engage is one of the characteristics
of the new order of things. Formerly it
was fashionable to pursue one game at
a time. After archery had enjoyed a
brief but exclusive career, many years
back now IN the haze Of tradition, it
dropped entirely out of favor to make
room for oroquet. This mild form of ex-
ercise then started on what proved to
be long and prosperous reign, and
while it remained in vogue it had no
rivals. In the course of time women
learned lawn tennis from their English
friends, and croquet in turn received
its deathblow. But the day of ono game
rule has passed. Woman takes a wider
view of the subject now, and, while it
is natural that every new sport intro
duced should enjoy temporary burst
of popularity which may cause the old
er ones to suffer for little space, they
are not forgotten, and when matters
settle back into their regular channel
1t is found that there is room for all. -

NEW GOLF RULES.
The Schedule Adopted VIII simplify Work
ing Tenets of the Play.

1Dg Ienets OF the ray
The committee appointed by the ex-
ecutive committee of the United States
Golf association on July IS, 1896, to
interpret the rules of golf has made
public its report, which has been &c
cepted by The U. S. G.. A.
"No change has been made in the
words of the rules as they stand il the
code Of the Royal aud Ancient Golf
Club of St. Andrews, Scotland, az re-
vised in 1891, but they have appended
whenever necessary the rulings of the
Z. S. G. A., based upon the results Of
many decisions Of committees or ex-
perts, or upon customs which have OBJ
tanned i'll the best clubs in Scotland and
England " is the committees preamble.
The context shows that special inter-
pretatious have been necessary on all
but seven of the match and five of the
rulers for medal play.
The gist Of the more important in
terpretations may be briefly summa
rized in this order, as they follow each
rule:
Rule 3. The rcnnlty for playing outside the
teeing limit shall be: In match play the ball
may be recalled, in medal play it must he re.
called. No stroke il counted for the misplay.
Rule 4. The penalty is loss of the hole at
match play, disqualification at medal play.
No ruling Is made regarding the style or size
of golf sticks.
Rule 0. At medal play stroke may not be
recalled should the wrong side play first
| Rule IL. Ice, snow hail within club
length Of the ball through the green may be
removed, but on the putting green only "by
! brushing slightly with the hand only across
the put and not along it,"
Rule II. Hereafter, when n ball lies turf
in hazard or surrounded by hazard it shall
be considered as being on the fair green and
! the club may be soled.
Rule Is. Long grass and casual water on the
fair green are not hazards. Woods are haz-
ards.
Rule TO- The opponent has the right to have
n ball dropped again if he thinks it has not
been dropped in strict accordance with the
rule In medal play he il obliged to have il
dropped again.
Rule "a If the players ball strike the other
competitor or his caddie or clubs, it is a ''rut
of the green" and the ball shall be played
from where il lies.
Rule %. A player who has lost his ball may
before giving up the hole, ask his opponent tc
show his (the opponont's) ball. When both
balls are lost, it is n halved hole, irrespective
of the number of strokes either side ha:
played.
Rule 35. In medal play, to put before the fal
has been taken out of the hole is a disqualifi
cation.
Rule &c. When players ball knocks in tn,
opponents ball in match play, it counts nj
holed out on the previous stroke. In media
play it must be replaced.
The result of the new schedule will bt
to simplify the working rules of the
game.-New York Sun.
