That was a notable voyage of the
American battleship Missouri from
Cape Henry across the ocean to Cape
st. Vincent, Portugal, a distance Of
$40 nautical miles, in ten days and
eight hours This formidable vessel
combines exceptional speed with i'm
posing strength in marvellous de-
gree. In attack or defence the Mis-
souri, would find not many equals, and
perhaps few, or any, superiors among
the naval craft of the world.

upon as stepped in classic lore and
as an exceptional master of details.
Nevertheless, in a recent sketch of

table dealers Of ancient Coiinth as

generally supposed that tobacco, to-

unknown in the old World until after
the discovery of this hemisphere, and
that tomatoes originated IN South Am

"DEAR MRS. P1NKHAM:-I cannot
praise Lydia e. Pinkham's Vege-

is the only medicine ever tried which
cured me. l suffered much from my
first menstrual period, 1 felt SO weak
and dizzy at times | could not pursue
my studies with the usual interest.
Ny thoughts became sluggish, had
headaches, backaches and sinking
spells, also pains in the back and lower
limbs. In fact, was sick all over.
Finally, after many other remedies
had been tried, We were advised to get
Lydia E. Pinl1ham's Vegetable
Compound, and I am pleased to say
that after taking it only two weeks, a
wonderful Change for the better took
place, and in q short time | was in
perfect health. I felt buoyant, full of

WENT TOO FAR

The declarations in the democratic national platform against the spirit of militarism that is stalking abroad will meet with the approval of those who depricate the seeming disposition Of some of our statesmen to lead their country into a career of conquest such as have characterized all the great powers of the eastern hemisphere for the last two thousand years. But the demand for reduction in the army was unnecessary. The army of the United States is small enough at the present time. It is not so large as to encourage the exploitation of national power, It is not larger than is snecessary to secure peace.
 Patriotic Americans would hail with delight the return of their country to the position of the great peace maker among nations that characterized it for so long a time. They willrejOice when it's great power shall be .exerted to further the approach of the time dreamed of by Tennyson when he sang of the parliament of nations and the "federation of the world, but they will frown upon a policy that would deprive their country Of the power to protect it's citizens from outrage or its borders from invasion. It has been said truly that the reduction of the army of the republic from millions to 25,OOO in so short a time after the civil war was the greatest mark of strength ever shown by great power, but it must be re- membered that an army of 65,OOO men is comparatively smaller today than was that of 25, 900 iu the 7Os. The Unit ed States then was a country of 10000 900 people, while now our population has reached nearly lOO,OOO,O0o, and our commercial operations have been eX- tended over the entire world. Since the reduction of the army in the IOs, the armies of all the powers Of the world have been increased, and nations that had not standing at that time have become powers to be considered.
 Our army is much smaller than that of any country approaching ours in magnitude. If the martial spirit thal pervades high places in the republic were eliminated, there would be nc danger from our military establish
