The navy department has for years

ber of men in the navy without taking
in much material in the rush and
hurry that would do more harm than
good. In the present state of affairs
recruiting officers are popularity sup.
posed to be taking all men who pre-
sent themselves and are in any way
fit. But they are not doing so. The
slowness with which men are being
enlis ed would seem to prove that the
standing contention of the department
is correct. Apparently thoroughly
sound navy $50 far as sailormen go) is
only to be had by keeping men on
hand in time of peace. But it is said
in the New York Sun that the re.
cruiting officers are as anxious as any
to prove that good men cannot be
collected in hurry and are exercis-
ing extraordinary care in making
selections from the rush of candidates.

any nature whatever on the candi.
dates body, is said to be sufficient
ground for instant rejection. The
great difficulty in the way of making
the newly purchased ships instantly
effective will be to provide crews
for them if the standard is kept as
high rs at present. There are a
great number of men in the navy
who have enlisted over and over again
and stay in the navy because they like
their ships and their officers and the
way they are treated.

Because happiness doesn't depend on

Because misery often results therefrom.
Because it is often the ruin of homes.
Because it never helps man in the strug-

Because it hinders good endeavor.
Because it lowers the tone of a family.
Because 1t opens the door to temptation.
Because it forms a habit almost impossi-

Because many mothers heartache may

Alcohol in Medicine

The report of DR.. A. Monroe Lesser, the
executive surgeon. gives the results of OBJ
servations in regard to the use OF alcohol,
and points out in detail the bad effects pro-
duced by it. Leading German, English
and American psychologists" he says, ''ac-
eept 1t rs fact that alcohol in small guam
titles, by exciting the energies of the body.
may increase the capabilities during the
short period which is sometimes required
In diseases, but that this provision is al
ways gained at the expense Of some vital
ity and later relaxation.'' SO in cases
where 1t might be useful in relieving in
hammations, this advantage is Offset by
the fact that while producing this effect, it
has a deleterious influence on the other
tissues. He also points out that alcohol is
not good thing to enable the body to
withstand cold or fatigue, and quotes Nan
sen, the Arctic explorer, to the effect that
those who drank alcohol could not bear the
Northern cold, and that no one of his staff
was allowed to Partake Of it. This fact
was noticed, however, long before Nam
sens time. We distinctly remember that
In the time of the old stage coaches which
piled between Philadelphia and New York,
that during periods OF cold weather ex-
perienced drivers refused to drink alco-
holfc liquors, but confined themselves
strictly to water drinking while on their
journeys, for the reason assigned that the
use OF alcoholic drink rendered them less
able to withstand the exposure they were
subjected to.
AS an evidence that it does not preserve
the living tissues or furnish staying quail
ties, DR.. Lesser notes that 'in the English
army, in its Soudan campaigns, a number
OF regiments received certain quantities OF
alcohol, while other regiments received
none, the result showing that the latter
could bear the strains Of long marches far
better and were better preserved than those
to whom alcohol was given" In the same
way he finds its effects injurious to diges-
t1on and dcleterious in septic conditions.
One OF the first questions a surgeon asks
nowadays when person sustans n dan
gerous injury, is whether he has been ac-
customed to the use Of alcohol holding
that the chances for recovery OF one so ad-
dicted are largely decreased, rs compared
with those Of one not accustomed to its use.
So, too, athletes In training for some event
are required to abstain entirely from the
use of alcohol, experience showing that it
greatly lessons their powers of endurance

~ excludes from said grant any lode or

In supporting the motion Mr.. Vale

rests with the plaintiff to show that
it owns more than the mere surface

tons of the complaint.
John f. Forbis replied to the defend
ants motion. He argued that where
the plaintiff has proven its title and
proven the extraction of ore by the de-
PENDANT over the side lines, then the
order of proof is for the defendant to
show the existence of the apex on his
ground, and the identity or the con-
tinuity of the vein. If it maintains own
ership of the ore extracted. Attorney
Lindsay REINFORCED the argument of
Mr. Forbis. Judge Mediation spoke in
favor of the motion and then Mr.. Vaile
made the closing argument Judge
Knowles said that a jurisdictional fact
must be set up in bringing a case into
the federal court. His construction of
the pleading was that this was what
was attempted to be done in the allie
cations of the complaint. The COM
plant was drawn with the evident in
tention of making it a federal question.
He did not consider the complaint as
to be construed as anything further
than an endeavor to show the case to
be a federal question. The motion of
the defendant was overruled.
The case was then adjourned until
his morning, when the opening argu-
nent for the defendant will be made
oy Attorney Naille. There will be
maps, model and various parapher-
lalia to show that the vein from which
his ore was taken belongs to the Rarus
lain rather than the Michael Dewitt.
rhe taking of the ore is admitted by
