"CALL A SPADE A SPADE"
Some People too Modest to Conde in their Phiciana Woman
cured Of Serious Disease by Certain Method, the Only
Drawback of which was, it Made Her Too : T."
From the Epentno News. Detroit, Mcn.

The doctor came in haste and found his
patient again in great agony from splitting
headache. 1t was his fifth call on the same
patient, and each time to treat the same
trouble. With a suspicion that his diagno-
sis was incorrect and that he was treating a
symptom and not the disease, he said to her !:
Madam, IL is useless for me to visit you
agan. You are keeping from me facts and
symptoms which IL is necessary ! should
know. The patient finally acknowledged
that. through a false modesty, she had not
told him all. Then she told how she had
suffered from female weakness but had kept
it from him--ioo modest to speak. The old
doctor was diagusted at such prudishness,
but when he knew the facts, cured her easily
and quickly.
The following case differs from the above,
only in the fact that the patient is not afraid

During these spells | was no nervous that
could not bear to have my husband walk
across the floor, and as the doctors said there
was no medicine that would reach my
trouble, consented to the operations, which
left me worse off than ] was before.

ly, don't know. We-that is, you and
l and all other good Americans, believe
he is. But it has been many years since
the Yankee has engaged in a cannon
duel with the gunners of other nations.
We have been burning powder,
though, Last year Uncle Sam spent
5000, 900 for ammunition that was used
in target practice, Was it spent in vain?
Well, according 20 the reports filed at
the navy department, it was not.
When a warship goes out to give her
bluejackets chance to practice with
the big guns, triangular target, made
Of canvas and mounted on barrel float,
is dropped overheard. The triangle is
generally about feet high and feet
across the base In comparison with the
size of warship it is mere speck on
the ocean.
The common method of engaging in
target practice is to steam in q circular
track about the target, varying the
length Of the radius from 5000 to /, 500
yards. This work is alternated by di-
rect ahead and astern fire. The ship
rushes at the target from point say
5000 yards Off AS she approaches to
within 4,OOo yards range the bow guns
! throw in a few shots for range, and a5
5000 yards distance the target work
commences.
It counts for something to be able TO
plant shot from a big six inch or
eight inch gun at target that bobs up
or sinks almost from view every second
by means Of electrical equipment the
| gunner trains his ten ton rife almost as
readily as boy aims his shotgun from
a fence rest.
The real skill Of the naval gunner lies
in knowing the right moment to fire us
the ship rolls on the oceans surface,
the speed Of the vessel and the force of
the wind as it blows across the line of
fire. Such knowledge only results from
actual experience. Not all depends on
the gunner either. The officers must do
their part well, for the correct reading
of the range finders and the prompt
handling of the ship have much to dc
with the result
1t is mistaken idea on the part Of
many lay readers that actions between
ships, owing to the long range gurs
now in service, are consequently fought
at long range Arule Of thumb familiar
to ordnance men is a mile range fol
every inch Of caliber That would bC
equivalent t,a lS miles range for 4
inch gun and s miles for an inch gun
AS matter of fact that rule underesti
mates, if anything, the range possibili
ties of the new ordnance.
But guns are not being fought at Il
miles or s mile ranges, Guns of heavy
caliber mounted in turrets bave gener
ally limited angle of elevation, anC
the strain on the decks of ship is too
great to make long range work alto
gether Advisable. The Japanese at thC
Yalu fight I ed 4, 800 yard ranges, bu
they lessened this range as the actor
progressed.
In an actual naval engagement firi.l
might be begun when the ships were S.
or seven miles apart, but unless on

"OUR HEARTS BE PURE FROM Evil"

fathers bed was. A door opening at his
touch, let him into the hail. There it was
easier TO breathe. The stairs were free
from fire, but the boy never thought of
descending. "Fatherl Father" he kept
calling, and then a more heroic deed was
never done. He let himself into the front
chamber cnvoloped in the blanket and felt
for his fathers bed. 1t was a fiery ordeal.
That room seemed all abla2e. He heard

tho shouts of men. Then ho found his

livsliest kind Of hustling to fill Uncle
Sans powder horn and shot pouch.
Agents were sent to scour Europe for
powder, American powder works were set
running night and day, armories where
projecties are turned out were put on
double time and various other emergency
methods adopted. The officials decided
that, whether we bad war or not, it was
unsafe to be caught without powder.
A natural question would be, Whose
fault was 1t, who blundered?" Well, It
wasn't exactly blunder. IL was partly
due to the pacific policy which we have
maintained for many years and partly to
the fact that tho men at the head Of our
army and navy have not kept fully abreast
of the times either from lack of funds or
enterprise.
Because we had not enough powder to
last our navy ten days does not mean that
we had stopped making or buying pow
der. We simply hadn't acquired it fast
enough to keep up with the demand Great
ed by the big guns which we have been
making Twenty-Five years ago the supply
we had on hand few weeks ago would
have been sufficient to last year.
But the big guns of modern days burn
an immense amount of powder. Do you
know how much? Well, battleship like
the Indiana can use 80 tons of powder an
hour. Whilo all figures as to the amount
of powder that would be used in any sea
fight must be largely oonjoctural, it does
not take mathematical genius to under
stand that II modern battleship can use
| from 80 to 75 tons of powder in an hour il
would require more of the explosive to last
through couple of naval engagements
| 10 irf
war.
A good many persons think of all pow
| der as being In tho form of fine grain!
such as are used in ordinary shotguns or fol
blasting purposes. AS a matter of fact thC
powder of the present day is very different
from this. A "grain" of the kind used il
the big guns is made in the form of hex
agon about an inoh in diameter with {
cylindrical hole through the center
The smokeless powder, which is tho only
kind used in the rapid firing guns and 81
coming into favor for those of larger cali
ber, Is made in fiat yellow strips about tel
inches long, which look like small papeI
