will be many happy experiences during
the present summer. One favorite pas
time for the president and his four
boys is to go off to the woods or
along the bay shore, away from any
sign of human habitation, and have a
genuine camping-out party. Simple
provisions are taken along, and these,
with the fish they take from the bay,
affords food for the outing. The presi-
dent instructs his boys how to build
camps, make camp fires and cook. The
latter he has to do himself if a bite
properly prepared is to be had He
knows all about camp cooking, and can
broil steak or fish to a turn. His
boys declare that no white house cook
can approach their father in the prep
aration of dinner.
At Sagmore Hill the president has
all sorts of callers. 1t is his home,
and he delights in having men from
all walks of life call to see him there.
The most dignified statesman and
learned f1nancier is apt to sit down to
the table in the Roosevelt home with
the cowboy from the west or an &c
centric genius from anywhere. The
president pays no attention to the out
ward appearance Of his guests, and the
flannel shirt is just as welcome as the
dinner coat.

lessons learned by our military OBJ
servers in the orient will be very valu-
tions of this country is to be made.
Adequate coast defense vessels are also
to be considered
Among other things that have been
under consideration by the joint army
and navy board, is the proposition to
do away with the submerged mine as
a means of harbor defense and to SUBJ
stitute for it the newest submarine
boat. This suggestion has been made
by the naval members of the board.
but no decision has been reached. TIE
army members will probably insist
that the submerged mine be retained
The experience off Port Arthur and in
the battle of the Sea of Japan it is
argued teaches the virtue of this old
style of defense.
The army officers contend that the
submarine boat is still in an expert
mental stage, despite the report that it
did good execution in the last fight
between the Russian and Japanese
fleets. They believe that the final re-
port of that engagement will show
that much of the destruction attrib-
uted to submarine boat operations was
effected by floating mines skillfully
placed by Admiral Togo. While the
submarine boat is likely to occupy a
prominent and an increasingly i'm
portant place in the plans of the coast
defense, IL is probable that the joint
board will decide in favor of the SUBJ
merged mine. There mines may be
placed in certain and known positions
which may be avoided by the homf
fleet, and which may be controlled by
the observers on shore.

which the president discusses naval
and military matters in the mi
nutest detail is a matter of won

ices. 1t is not more wonderful, how
ever, than the thoroughness with
which he masters questions in every
department of the government His
recent conduct of state affairs with
out the Intervention of the secretary
of state is one of the surprises of his
administration. He entered upon the
delicate peace negotiations between
Russia and Japan with the assurance
and tact of an old trained diplomat.
In all his varied lines of public
activity, Mr.. Roosevelt probably takes
more interest and delight in naval af-
fairs than in anything else. He has
written history of the navy, knows
its traditions, and is acquainted with
its development, from the old wood
en- frigate to the modern battleship as
well as any of the most experienced
naval officers. His study of the navy
has borne practical fruit, and his
theories cut into use have made tae
United States navy the most effective
in the world. The principal of these
theories is that the man behind the
gun is the main dependence in a naval
conflict. While assistant secretary OF
the navy he insisted that the men
must be taught how to shoot, and that
government money could be expended
in no better way than in purchasing

"I had been teaching in the city
schools steadily for six years, ''said Miss
James, whose recent return to the work
from which she was driven by nervous
collapse has attracted attention. 'They
were greatly overcrowded, especially in
the primary department Of which I had
charge, and I had been doing the work
of two teachers. The strain was too
much for my nerves and two years ago

me to cure. After I had suffered for
many months, and when was ON the
very verge of despair, happened to read
an account of some cdres effected by
DIR. Williams Pink Pills. The state
ments were SO convincing that some
how felt assured that these pills would
help me. Most people, I think, buy only
one box for a trial, but purchased six
boxes at once, and when I had used
them up, was indeed well and had no
need of more medicine.

stored my appetite, gave me strength to

of Office nor does he lay aside con-
sideration of the great questions that
demand his attention. In one way he
gets relief at Oyster Bay, and that is
the restriction there naturally is upon
the number of his daily callers The
executive offices are located in the
village Of Oyster Bay, some two or
three miles away from the presidents
own home. In those offices Secretary
Loeb conducts the routine business,
and occasionally the president calls
and looks over some papers, but most
of the business is carried by the Sec
rotary to Sycamore Hill, where the
president can attend to it ,untroubled
by persistent visitors
This will be very busy season with
Mr. Roosevelt, and he will have many
questions to determine before congress
meets. At his country home he will
take up the study of the tariff and
reach decision as to whether he will
recommend that congress undertake a
remodeling of the schedules. In the
NOiiAOi IdUlc QudiIcIS VI HIS SuIuulST
| residence he will meet such men as
Senator Aldrich, Senator Burrows, Sen
ator Allison, Congressman Payne, and
others who are admittedly experts on
this question, and will confer with
them upon the tariff. Between his
holiday diversions the president will
give attention to the railway rate ques-
ton. 1t is not unlikely that from the
humble. village of Oyster Bay will also
issue orders and decisions that will
have an important bearing upon inter-
national affairs.
With all the time he will devote to
public matters, however, the president
will still be able to enjoy a vacation
and the outdoor pastimes of which he
is so fond. His home at Sycamore
Hill offers full facilities for such in
dulgences.

For Growing Girls.

West Pembroke. Me. April "a
Mrs. A. l.. Smith, OF this place, says
that Dodds Kidney Pills are the best
remedy for growing girls. Mrs. Smith
emphasizes her recommendation By
the following experience:
My daughter was thirteen years old
last November and Il is now two years
since she was first taken with Crazy
Spells that would last week and
would then pass off. In a month che
would have the spells again. At these
times she would eat very little and
was very yellow; even the whites Of
her eyes would be yellow.
The doctors gave us no encourage
ment. they all said they could not help
her. After taking one box Of Dodd's
Kidney Pills. she has not had one bad
spell. OF course, We continued the
treatment until she had used in all
about a dozen boxes. and We still give
them to her occasionally. when she is
not feeling well. Dodd's Kidney Pills
are certainly the best medicine for
growing girls"
Mothers should heed the advice Of
Mrs. Smith, for by so doing. they may
save their daughters much pain and
sickness and ensure a healthy. happy
future for them.
