the country needs a much stronger navy

DR.. Chaplin adds that the local condi-
tions have shown steady Improvement

the pollution OF the Pawtuxet river. The

Referring to the Chicago lemon Juice
antidote the doctor said that IL was an
established fact that mild acids were eff
cscious in killing typhoid bacill as well
as those or certain other diseases. but
that he placed little dependence on the
use OF lemon juice as a preventive of ty-
phoid.
In experiments that had been made I'm

been dropped into tubes containing ba-
cilli. and after standing a time the germs
were destroyed by the action Of the acid.

conclusion that lemon Juice was all that

An enlargement OF the Portland -four
mills from 24O0 to $500 barrels day
has been announced by President Will
cox, as a result, 1t is said, Of prom
isc of e. n. Hartman that the service
OF the Portland & Asiatic Steamship
Company would be increased to meet
the demands which an enlargement
would require to provide necessary
shipping facilities. If the mills are en-
,larged as contemplated, their output
alone will be sufficient to provide a 5000
ton cargo every II days. The mills are
already the largest on the Pacific coast
andafter the contemplated enlargement
has been made will possess an output
the equal of any other two mills on the
coast. The Portland and Asiatic Steam
ship Company will not wait, 1t is said,
for new ships to be built for the orien-
tai trade, but has already arranged
for the big steamship Algoa to go on
the run. The ship is now in the orient,
but will arrive January |.
