TO HAVE MORE SHORE LIBERTY.
It is Hoped to Make Jackies More Con-
tented With Their Lot.

The Navy Department has under consid-
Grafton an order which 1t is expected will
soon be issued. authorizing commanding
officers OF ships Of the North Atlantic
squadron to grant ten days leave Of alb
sence to all men who can be spared when
the ships reach their destinations at the
yards during the spring. The present regu-
lations permit of a shore leave Of but forty
eight hours. This step on the part of the
department is prompted by the desire Of
the officials to make the men more con-
tented with the service.
The record of the enlisted personnel for
March shows there were during that month
300 assertions. This Is an annual desertion
rate of Ii per cent Of the entire enlisted
force. So large percentage Is deemed due
to the fact that there was very heavy
enlistment of landsmen from the interior
who were not entirely fitted for the service
and thus were easily disconnected with the
small amount Of shore liberty given them
In order to allay discomfort the bluejackets
will hereafter be given as much shore lib
erty as possible

CREATES LIFE.
Interesting Experiment of DR.. Little
field, of Indiana

Anderson, Ind, July 25.-With one
ounce of common salt. six ounces OF
pure water. six ounces of go per cent
alcohol, all mixed in an ordinary glass
dish. and two ounces of aqua ammonia
distributed in five small plates and all
covered by an air-tight glass tube. DR..
Charles w. Littlefield. of Alexandra.
Ind, this afternoon declared that he
had created life in the form of thou
sands of atoms of animated substances
similar to well developed germs of life
and trilobites. According to DR.. Little
field only 80 minutes were consumed
while salt crystals were impregnated
with the hydrogen and volatile magne-
tism of the chemical solution and
transformed into living forces that inn
mediately sought nourishment through
mediums that Dr. Littlefield termed
feeders, lacking any technical names.
Microscopical examination shows that
crystals not affected by the chemical
mixture retain their original cubic or
square form, while the magnetized bits
were of hectagon shape, with life first
appearing in the center and spreading
until the crystal was round, and finally.
of globular shape A mass of life sub
stances possessed magnetism of pros
nounced degree, radiating a power that
would separate the crystals and then
draw them together again.
1t has not been determined what the
germs or atoms would propagate. DR..
Littlefield says he repeated his expert
ments several times. all with practical
ly the same successful results.

WITHOUT PARALLEL
20 Physicians BaffIed for Years By
a Case That Change in Food
Cured in Weeks.

There is almost miraculous power in
a change of food if the right food be
taken on.
A case said to be without parallel is
that of a Iaralyzed and dumb child
whom % different doctors were puzzled
over yet who recovered his speech in
two weeks and finally got entirely well
by using the scientific food Grape-Nuts.
This child's mother was asked to tell
about the case and said: Six years ago
without a moments warning my boy
went off into commissions. He had three
the first day and for nearly 6 years he
had from three to 60 spasms a day all of
very short duration but very severe. He
lost his speech entirely and lost the use
of his legs and arms, also of his nerve
centres, being paralyzed so that he was
perfectly helpless and dumb. 1 fed him
with teaspoon and we had him treated
by physicians in many of the large
cities throughout the country without
being able to get any help at all.
In all 20 different physicians exam
ined and treated my boy and all pro-
nounced his case without parallel in
medical history so far as they knew
and beyond the reach ofmedical science.
His bowels never moved without physic,
going as long as three weeks. His low
er bowels could not handle food the
least bit starchy.
He did not seem to have a disease of
any kind and as the physicians were all
baffled did not know what to do and
we gave up hope. The doctors said his
nerves and brain were affected and poor
circulation and cerebrospinal irritation
caused his commissions. He had as high
as 200 commissions in two weeks as
many doctors can testify.
Now comes the wonderful part of the
tale for he had not taken Grape-Nuts
one week when his bowels moved and
inside of two weeks he began to talk,
only being able to say words of one
syllable at first. In weeks he has inn
proved beyond comprehension and his
case, which has astounded so many
physicians. has completely yielded to
the pure food Grape-Nuts. We lost
nearly everything experimenting with
different physicians and specialists but
I shall have to have Grape-Nuts for my
boy if I have to beg it." Name given
by Postum Co., Battle Greek, Mich.
The power of the wrong food to do
harm and the power of the pure food
to cure are realized by very few peo-
pie The power of Grape-Nuts is
proved by trial.
