Which do You Want7

want free of charge by writing to the doctor. l. Diseases of Vital Organs 2. Diseases of throat and lungs. 3. Ner- vous debility and sexual weakness (en- larged new edition). 1. Varicocele. g. Structure and Venereal diseases. 6. Kidney, bladder and rheumatism. 2. Dis eases of women. g. Blood poison (enlarg- ed edition).
 If you suffer from a complaint not nen- tioned in this list do not let that keep you from writing to the doctor. Write and learn what he has to say; he will be
 glad to reply. and 1t will cost you noth- ing. These eight books are entirely free. one or all of them, to anyone who is in- terested enough to ask for them either by calling in person or sending name and address by mail.
 DR. HATHAWAY TO THE PUBIC. "All I ask of any suffering man or woman," said Dr. Hathaway yesterday In an interview with an Advertiser reporter,
 lis that he or she give me the privilege of proving to them that have the knowl- edge and the method that will cure per- manently and in a shorter space of time than any other method yet known to science. The only way can prove this to anyone who can not call on me in per son is for them to write me, giving their
 name and address, and besides sending
 the book they ask for. which is always free, I will forward all the practical proof that anyone wants that I can cure them. I will tell them for nothing what ,, any other doctor of my standing would charge s for. Ask your readers to write
 me. that is my only request" The doctor seems to be entirely sincere and frank in his statements. and 1t does seem as if every sick and needy person
 who earnestly wants to be cured should avail themselves of the doctors valuable
 offer. especially since he Is willing to do so much for nothing.
 Write him the very first moment you ind time. for the sooner you write the
 sooner you will be cured. Address him simply

MIDDIES MAY SMOKE
IN THEIR QUARTERS
Privileges Extended to Members Of the
First Class.

Midshipmen Of the first class at the
Naval Academy are to be allowed to
smoke in quarters. Capt. Willard H.
Brownson. superintendent Of the Acad-
envy, has recommended that this. privii-
eye be granted to the first class and
Secretary Moody will approve IT.
This action on the part OF Naval
Academy authorities is said to have been
taken on account Of the increased re-
sponsibiIities and dignities OF the upper
cIassmen. Il is thought desirable to
give the midshipmen increased privi-
leges.
It is believed that members of the
second class will also be allowed TO
smoke in quarters, bur this privileges
will probably never be extended to the
third and fourth classes.
At West Point members OF all classes
are allowed TO SNAKE pipes under ctr
tain restrictions. and tobacco and pipes
are offered for sale at the Military
Academy supply store. West Point on
GERS took this action 70 check sigarette
smoking. It is not believed that the
prohibition on the use Of tobacco will
ever be entirely raised at Annapolis

BATTLESHIP TYPES
UNDER CONSIDERATION
French and German Vessels Com
pared With American Ships.

Three types of battleship are under
consideration by the Naval Board on
Construction. At a recent meeting OF
the board models OF these three types
one representing the United States
battleship Louisiana, another the Ger
man battleship Wittelsbach, and third,
the French battleship Sunren, were ex-
hibited before the board.
One Of the officers whom Secretary
Moody had asked for an opinion on de-
signs for the 10, OoO-ton battleships Mis-
sissippi and Idaho, now so much in con
troversy, submitted in his reply a state
ment that French and German battle
ships have an advantage in that the
average height of the gun above the
water-line is greater than in the Ameri-
can type and that therefore the guns
could be worked to better advantage
in a seaway.
The wittelsbach and the suffren are
Of less displacement. but sufficiently cor
respond in armor and armament to the
Louisiana for purposes Of comparison,
and Rear Admiral Bowles, who is firmly
Of the opinion that the German and
French navies possess no marked ad-
vantage in this particular respect. or in
general, declared that the difference in
height of freeboard is so slight as to
give little advantage in conflict The
Suffren has one turret forward, on an
extra deck giving the guns it contains
an advantage in elevation. but for this
gain. he says. of course, sacrifice is made
elsewhere.
The board is practically renewing its
consideration Of the designs for the
Idaho and Mississippi which Secretary
Moody returned without approval ac-
companied by the opinion be had sought
from nine line officers OF various grades
Had Congress permitted all FIVE ships
| authorized last year to be 5000 tons
instead Of limiting the Mississippi and
Idaho to $4,000 tons. it is said, they
would all have been laid down by this

GEOGRAPHIC SOCIETY
IN ITS NEW QUARTERS
Superb Accommodations in the
Hubbard Memorial Building.

The National Geographic Society has
moved it's headquarters from the Offices
formerly occupied by It in the Corcoraa
Building to the Hubbard Memorial Build
ing on the corner of sixteenth and NJ
Streets northwest. Although the new
building is not entirely completed. the
Offices on the first floor are practically
ready for occupation and hereafter the
editor OF the magazine of the National
Geographic Society. Gilbert II. Gros-
venor. viii continue his work there. MIR.
Grosvenor, who has been away during
the summer. is expected to return 10
Washington next Friday.
The new headquarters OF the society
is a fine structure achitecturalIy and the
marble walls and staircase inside are
especially beautiful The large lecture
hail. which occupies the whole second
story, has not yet been finished. 1t is
hoped, however. it viii be ready for use
during the coming winter. The hall will
accommodate several hundred people.
but it is probable il will be used only
for the more technical and strictly
scientific lectures and a larger lecture
hall will be rented elsewhere for the
popular lectures given under the
auspices Of the society.
The building has been erected as a
memorial to Gardiner Green Hubbard,
the first president OF the National Geo
graphic Society. by members of his
family.
The election of president Of the
society 10 succeed Prof. Alexander Ora
ham Bell, who resigned several months
ago, will probably not take place until
next winter.
