Does Baby
I hrive?

If your baby is delicate
and sickly and its food does
not nourish it, put fifteen
or twenty drops of SCOTS
Emulsion in its bottle three
or four times a day and you
will see a marked change.
We have had abundant
proof that they will thrive
on this emulsion when other
food fails to nourish them.
1t is the same with larger
children that are delicate.
Scott's Emulsion seems to be
the element lacking in their
TODD. Do not fail to try it if
your children do not thrive.
1t is as useful for them in
summer as in winter.

 Lieutenant Whittlesey is master of the naval cipher code. He has all the combinations at his command, and he can express in few apparently mean ingless combinations of words a whole volume of information concerning the orders to commanding officers of the warships. His assistants during the mid-watch are Lieutenant G. w Lo- gan, Lieutenant William B. Hoggatt and Ensign R. J. Hartung. These four officers are entrusted with the myster- ies of the naval code, and they alone decipher all dispatches received or sent by the direction of the Secretary and the War Board. The clerical work at night is done by E. w. Callahan, F. s. Hinricks, P. J. Willett and s. C. Hud- nell. stenographers.
 Along about 1 or o'clock in the .norn- ing the eyelids of the watchers in the cipher room grow heavy The lights are lowered and the tired men fling themselves down for a few moments of needed repose. Suddenly the clicking of the telegraphic instruments is heard in

formation regarding the movements of ships and the intentions of the War Board must necessarily be kept secret to prevent the enemy from taking ad vantage of knowledge which does not properly belong to them.
 Day and night the force in the Bu- reau of Navigation is on duty. When the department closes for the day and the clerks and employees in the other divisions Of the de- partment retire to their resnective homes, a detachment of the employees in the Navigation Bureau remains on duty. I visited the Navy Department a few nights ago during the mid watch in the Navigation Bureau. Lieu tenant H. H. Whittlesey, the officer on detail in charge of the cipher code was at his post of duty, where he had been all day.
 Since the war commenced Lieutenant Whittlesey and his staff of assistants have remained in the department every night to receive such information as might be sent from the warships wherever they might be. Cots are pro- vided for the watchers, and between the intervals of receiving and sending dispatches Lieutenant Whittlesey and

sea soundings around the world while in command of the Enterprise The casts were made at intervals of 100 miles Captain Barker, whose last com mand was the battle-ship Oregon, is soon to retire from the War Board to take command of the Newark, which is being fitted out at the Norfolk Navy Yard.
 It will be seen from this brief out line of the official record of the officers composing the War Board that they are peculiarly fitted for the grave re- responsibilities resting upon them. All of them have seen service and obtained knowledge which only experience can give in the art of conducting a naval war. Their participation In the block ading and bombardment of New Or leans, way back in the sixties, Is right in line with the work they have in hand in blockading Havana, prepara- tory to bombardment It Is apparent that these officers were not selected for this important duty without due con- sideration of their naval skill and per- sonal experience in the line of duty.
 One of the most exciting and inter esting night sessions of the board oc- that the Cape Verde fleet, which had mysteriously disappeared from Cape Vincent, was at the French island of Martinique. The War Board was un- conscious of the presence of the Span ish squadron on this side of the Allan tic The board had adjourned for the day, and the members were in their respective homes, probably dreaming of meeting and conquering the Spanish squadron. The news of the arrival of the Spanish fleet at Martinique was first conveyed to the President by a ReraId-Call man. It took but a few minutes to transmit the anxiously looked for information to Secretary Long, and no time was lost in assem- bling midnight session of the War Board.
 There was plenty of life and activity in the Navy Department that night, and bright lights gleamed from the windows of the Secretary's office and the rooms occupied by the Bureau of until the sun came up from the east and flooded the corridors with natural light.
 The War Board has exclusive sources of information. It is in possession of

capture of New Orleans Rear Admiral Sicard is an expert in heavy ordnance, and it was largely due to his efforts and energy that the ordnance depot was eSta blIShed at the Washington Navy Yard. His last command was the North Atlantic Squadron, previous to which he had had a long and varied experience in all parts of the world. Throughout the navies of the world Admiral SiCard is recognized as one of the ablest ordnance officers of the pres ent generation.
 Captain Mahan is also a New Yorker by birth. He saw distinguished service on the old frigate Congress in 1S61 In addition to cruising all over the world he has rendered distinguished service as president of the War College and the Torpedo School. He is also an authority on the subject of sea power and it's in fiuence upon history. He has written a book on the subject which has added to his fame as an authority on naval warfare.
 Captain Crowninshield, the distin- guished chief of the Bureau of Naviga- tiOn, claims New York as his birthplace. He also rendered gallant and meritori- blockading squadron at the battle of New Orleans. He participated in the attack on Fort Fisher. Since the war of the rebellion he has cruised with the East India squadron and the European fleet, and is also an expert on ordnance. He commanded the I-earsarge and was also the commanding officer of the ill., fated Maine until he was relieved a short time ago by Captain Sigsbee
 Captain Barker, the fourth member of the board, is, like Secretary Long, a Massachusetts man. He was a con- 'spicuous participant in the blockading, bombardment and capture of New Or l.o fT-iT II so had a wide and varied experience with all the squadrons of the American navy. Everybody in the navy remem- bers his remarkable achievement at the Newport torpedo station in 1873, when he fired shells filled with dynamite from 24-pound howitzers using ordi- nary powder cartridges. That was the first time on this continent that dyna- mite was successfully fired in shells with ordinary powder cartridges. Cap- tain Barker is also well known in naval history for having run a line of deep

the telegraph office half way down the corridor. A moment later a messenger hurries down the dimly lighted hall- way to Lieutenant Whittlesey's room. In an instant Lieutenant Whittlesey is aroused, the lights are turned up and the sleepy assistants assume their re- spective stations and prepare to de- cipher the dispatch just received. Should the intelligence be of a startling nature, such as that of the arrival of the Spanish fleet at Martinique or Dewey's victory at Manila or the changing of base of any of the ships, the information Is hurriedly sent to Secretary Long, either by telephone or special messenger on a bicycle. The President is also notified, and the mem bers of the War Board are communi- cated with immediately. If speedy &C., tion is required the board quickly as- sembles at the department and Lieu tenant Whittlesey is directed to frame a dispatch in accordance with the code.
 It sometimes occurs that the infor- nation received is not of such a nature as to require prompt action. In that case it is not brought to the attention of the Secretary or Captain Crownin- shield until the next morning.
