NO DRUGS.
Just Proper Food and Rest.

The regular user of drugs to relieve
pain is on the wrong track. Find the
cause and remedy it by proper food and
quit drugs for temporary relief or you
will never get well.

PRESIDENTS CIRCULAR
ALARMS P0sTMASTERS
Inquire of Civil Service Commission
What Part They May Take in 1
Political Gatherings.

Since the publication of President
Roosevelt's letter concerning the politi-
cal circulars sent by the Republican
State committees of Ohio and Pennsyl-
vania TO Government clerks soliciting
contributions for the campaign, the
Civil Service Commission has been fair
ly overwhelmed with letters of inquiry
from postmasters and other Federal en-
ployes throughout the country, asking
if they can attend county meetings, po-
litical gatherings, etc.
One postmaster wrote that he could
play cornet and had been engaged to
take part in a serenade to candidate
COR office, but before doing so he want
ed to know from the Civil Service Com
mission if it would be a violation OF the
civil service rules.
1t seems the Presidents letter, which
was published throughout the country.
has created an impression in the minds
OF nearly all of the Federal employees in
the classified service that they must not
participate in any political gathering.

Club
The varsity team was given some hard
practice on the field yesterday. Several
of the graduates who played on former
elevens lined UP with the scrubs against
the varsity eleven, and made the prac-
tice something like real contest. Tho
Blue and Gray is strong on the Of
fensive and had no trouble in making
all kinds of gains.
The Georgetown lads regard the La
fayette game as the hardest they nave
to play this season. Lafayette has il on
Georgetown when weight is considered.
but Suter hopes to even up matters by
having faster moving eleven on the
field.

NAVY BOARD FAVORS
A HOMOGENEOUS FLEET
Has Been Dream of Strate-
gists for Years

The general board of the navy. now
in session in this city, is considering a
plan for dividing the fleet into homo
geneous divisions with a view to the
presentation of this arrangement in time
of war The homogeneity of the feet
has been the dream of the naval strate-
gists FOR years. but the diversity of
characteristics. even in vessels of the
same general type, makes the aprlica-
ton of the plan to the American Navy
q matter of the greatest difficulty.
A homogeneous feet means a forma-
ton of vessels practically the same with
regard to speed, steaming radius, arm
ament and defensive strength. II has
been the aim of some nations to build
their fighting craft, particularly battle
ships and armored cruisers, as nearly
alike in the respects mentioned as is
possible with changing conditions of
progress in naval construction.
Government Not Consistent.
The United States, however, has not
been consistent in carrying out this
generally accepted idea, and til result
is a naval force composed, in battle
ships for example, of vessels that differ
radically in respect to speed, steaming
radius and type. and arrangement of
caliber of guns. The infiexibIe principle
that the speed of a squadron is that of
Its slowest member will serve to show
the Importance OF homogeneity in mar
regard at least.
The general board is now endeavor-
ing TO divide the American vessels of
several diversified types, including
those under construction, into forma-
tions, in which each ship Will approach
as nearly as possible to all the others |
In its division
An attempt sill be made by the board !
TO divide the vessels of the combined |
North Atlantic, South Atlantic, and Eu |
ropean squadrpns. which are TO take |
part in the West Indian naval nane,l.
yers. into some semblanee of homo
geneors arrangement. SO that each di-
vision can operate as unit that will
represent more nearly the average of its
entire composition, instead of being I'M
der the disadvantage of being composed
of vessels OF widely different charac-
teristics.
Would Weaken Fleet.
To attach one slow ship TO squad
ron consisting OF several fast vessels
would serve TO weaken the efficiency of
the greater number. while it would not
improve that of the single exception
The board is aiming TO overcome en-
of this character. and is
not only working for the success of the !.
West Indian war game. but for the
future.
1t is expected that the board will I
submit to the Navy Department some
plan for a ecognition in all cons;ruc-
lens hereafter of the establishment of )
! homogeneous aset. {
