INEXPERT ENGINEERS
The Cause Of Ine1ficiency Of Spanish
Ships

WASHINGTON, Sept 1O.-The Russian
naval Captain, Prince LEVIN. who was sent
by his government with the North Atlantic
fleet to witness the operations before San
tiago, has expressed the opinion that,
aside from the gunnery, one of the greatest
weaknesses of the Spanish warships was
In the engine rooms. The Spanish navy has
no special engineer corps and like the
French navy, relies upon machinsts to run
the engines. The weakness of this system
was revealed In active service and nowhere
go markedly as in the case of the torpedo
boats and torpedo boat destroyers. The
remarkable few instances of breakdowns
in the machinery of the United States war;
ships were attributed by Captain LEVIN
entirely to the intelligent supervision over
the complex mechanism exercised by the
naval engineer corps.

DANGERS OF MOUTH BREATHING
Caused by the CIo0pine Up of the
Nasal Passages by Catarrh.

Nature intended we should breathe
through the nostrls. The delicate MEM
branes of the nose act as Il safeguard, and
prevent the access of disease germs into
the air cells of the lungs. The dry air Is
and the long category of deadly diseases.
NOW when the catarrhal pus poison accu.
mulates in the passages Of the head. the
nose becomes clogged up and you breathe
these deadly disease germs directly through
the mouth into the delicate air cells OF the
lungs, where they breed consumption and
other deadly diseases. It's just as impor.
tant to wash out the air passages OF the
head and check the disgusting flow of ca
tarrhal poison, as 1t is to take bath.
Drs Shores mild and painless antseptic
treatment and soothing balms and healing
oils check the flow OF the catarrhal mucus
poison, and prevent the Introduction Of con-
sumption and other deadly germs into the
human system. Come and consult with Drs.
