A Sustaining Diet,

These are the enervaGing days, when
as somebody has said, men drop by the
sunstroke, as if the Day OF Fire had
dawned. They are fraught with danger
to people whose systems are poorly sus'
tanned; and this leads US to say, in the
interest of the less robust OF our readers,
that the full effect OF Hoods Sarsaparills
IS such as to suggest the propriety of call
ing this medicine something besides a
blood purifier ard tonic,-say, sustain.
ing diet. II makes it much easier to bear
the heat, assures refreshing sleep, and
will without any doubt avert much sick
ness at this time of year.

Heartburn.

When the quantity OF food taken is too
large or the quality too rich, heartburn is
likely to follow, and especially SO if the
digestion has been weakened by consti-
patton. Eat slowly and not too freely OF
easily digesied food. Masticate the food
thoroughly. Let six hours elapse between
meals and when you feel fullness and
weight in the region OF the stomach after
eating, indicating that you have eaten too
much, take one of Chamberlain Stom-
ach and Liver Tablets and the heartburn
may be avoided. For sale by Feldmeyer

NEW SYSTEM OF GUNNERY.
Men Of The North Atlantic Squadron To
Practice At Nortolk-Drill Will
Consume Greater Part
of Month


of Month.
When the vessels of the North Atlantic
Squadron arrived at Hampton Roads to-
day from Newport they engaged in a
new system OF gunnery practice. prescrib-
ed in recent special orders from the Navy
Department.
The new gunnery instruction will take
the place OF two sea practices. and when
ship has gone through with the newly
authorized gun drill, has had one record
practice and four sea practices. her work
in this line will hereafter be considered
compile. The entire drill will consume
the greater part of a month and will in
clude small-arms target practice for all
hands. sub-cahber practice, in which. al
500 yards. with the ship under way. ter
shots will be fired at a target from each
class OF gun, and preliminary target prac-
tice at one thousand yards by guns Of
caliber rs and one-pounders.
The most important trial of marksman-
ship and the one which will hereafter de-
termine the fighting worth OF ships is
known as Fighting efficiency practice"
In this drill a target fashioned OF spars
laid parallel to the water and in all 90
teet in length will be used. From this
will rise miniature masts 10 feet high,
rugged with canvas. The vessel will
steam by this mark at range OF about
2 900 yards. and, going at no less than
eight knots, will fire each one Of the
guns of her batteries in turn at the mark,
bringing them all to bear during her run
OF perhaps a mile past the target. Actual
hits only will be counted in this trial and
the ships fighting efficiency will be rated
by the percentage of hits out Of total
shots fired. According to information at
hand at the Navy Department the navies
of the world are giving great amount
of attention to the subject OF target prac-
tice, and many schemes are being evolv-
ed in foreign navies to make conditions
in gunnery practice conform as closely
as possible to those OF an actual combat.

Match Rowling Games.

ANY number of important ten-pin
contests have been played in the west
since bowling, which is now recognized
as the national winter sport, has become
popular; but 1T is doubtful whether any
OF them have excited so much interest
In bowling circles everywhere as the
series scheduled to take place at Nc
Cermick's Bowling Pavilion Toledo, O.,
between the. All-Chicago and the
Greater New York Bowlers on May 18th
next, for purse of 81 ,00v.
This is really the first meeting Of the
representative crack bowlers of the east
and west, and that every one OF the
seven games will be for blood goes
without saying Manager Fred Worden
has selected his five and the scores they
are rolling in their practice games make
1t look like anything but an easy argu-
ment for the New Workers, who In some
sections are being tipped as easy win
ners In three games they rolled a few
days ago, they scored 956, 946 and 945.
certainly their scores are not looked
upon everywhere as being phenomenal,
but the evenness Of the games is taken
as criterion that the westerners will
content themselves with average roll
ing; and not any big games and then
small ones, for it is total pins that will
decide the winner Of the match.
