YOUNG MEN FOR BATTLE
Demand for More Rapid Retirement of
II Elderly Naval Officers.
Chicago Tribune.


Admiral Dewey says that to have a
navy which shall be efficient in the
stress of war, there must be younger
men to direct the fighting aboard the
ships than those now in command. It is
his opinion that the officers above ths
rank of lieutenant are too old for tbs
grades they occupy. The Admiral i,
getting to be an old man and can make
remarks of this kind with better grace
than one of the juniors.
Advancing years do not always unfit
man for splendid sea service. Farraa
gut was 81 when he won his fight al
New Orleans. Dewey himself was near.
ly 81 when he crushed the Spanish feet
at Manila. But for obvious reasons the
admiral of 45, if he has had fail
amount of experience as a feet com.
mander, is more likely to render effect
i've service than a man of 60. Promotion
in the American navy is so slow that an
officer does not attain the rank of ad-
miral until it is almost time for him to
be retired. He does not get to be a
captain and have little experience in
that capacity until he has reached tbs
age at which Togo found himself an
admiral. If the United States were to
be plunged into war at this moment the
navy would go into the fight with ad.
mirals nearing the age limit and cap
tains who have not had opportunities ta
maneuver squadrons. ..

FOOD DOES 1T
Curious How Right Food Rebuilds Body

The benefits of the good. red blood
made by Grape-Nuts food is described
in letter from Chicago:
81 was for years sadly afflicted with
hemorrhoids caused by constipation,
which was the result of impure blood
supplied by food not adapted to the
needs of the body under certain con-
ditions. My trouble extended to rectal
hemorrhoids which greatly reduced my
strength. A surgical operation gave
me no relief and | was compelled final
Iy to quit business.
Luckily, Just when things were
looking the blackest, some one recon-
mended Grape-Nuts food as desirable
article of diet, and | began dec. 1909
it's use. land in few months brought
my health back to me.
sfThe action of my bowels is free
and regular now, and this has brought
relief from the hemorrhoids At the
same time neurotic trouble which had
been growing on me and which the
doctors could never do anything with,
has also disappeared. All this return

WHY THE BIG CITIES GROW
Low Transportation Rates the Key to
a. Population. 'e

:. Ray Stannard Baker in McClure's.
The small town pays high rates, the
big town low rates. And this is the
chief cause Of the enormous growth of
our cities, the amazing expansion of de-
partment stores and city factories, and
the great rise IN valuation of city prop
erty compared with country property.
There is constant suction toward the
city, because the low railroad rate
makes the conduct of the business
cheaper there. So the strong boys are
drawn off the farms and out Of the little
towns with irresistible force toward the
metropolis. So, rents go up, SO sky
scrapers are built, SO the East Sides be-
come crowded and filthy and diseased,
with luxury, SO boss politicians gather
strength in city slums, SO corruption
grows in the city hall, the statehouse
and the national capital.
EQr transportation is the key to pop-
ulation. New York was planted where
it is in the first place, because of it's
splendid harbor where ships could reach
its, docks easily and cheaply. And when
the railroads came they continued to
and in rates which tended to Garry
rything there. In the same way the
prosperity OF every important city in
the country is based almost wholly
upon the favor of transportation agen-
cies, either the natural advantages of
a water or river front, or tho artificial
advantage of low railroad rates. Cities
like Pittsburg, Indianapolis and At
lanta are almost absolutely the crea-
lures of the railroads. Inquire why
one city grows and another seemingly
with equal advantages, does not grow
and the cause will almost invariably be
found in railroad rate. Inquire SINH
larly why one oil refner, or one
beef butcher, or one sugar maker pros
pers and grows rich, while others, ap-
parently of equal talents and means,
slowly dwindle into failure, often with
out even knowing why. and in a large
number of cases the cause will be found
in a certain railroad rate. And I am by
no means inferring that the success Of
a town or man is due only to Illegal
or secret rates or determinations: The
dishonest successes, like that of Rookie
Teller, are comparatively rare; the great
proportion are the natural outcome of
what is at present perfectly open favor
itism on the part Of the railroads.
The quickest way for a girl to get
rid of her ideal is to marry him.
A married man always has a hard
luck story on tap when his wife asks
him for money. :

MEDICAL STUDY IN PARIS
Difficult to Garry. on. but the Best
=: = Place in Europe: e=~:,..
;.2.:s..f :. -. So - - -s. :. o..
BROOKLYN Eapla

Dr.. Philip Kilroy Of Springfield,
Mass, has been in Paris nearly a year,
making a special study of skin diseases.
IN one OF his visits to the Paris office
OF the Eagle he gave some interesting
opinions on medicine in Paris. He is Of
Of medicine in all it's branches Paris is
the best place in the world, provided
one can stay here long time. It is
difficult to obtain medical knowledge
quickly in the French capital, because
the various medical schools and col
leges do not work in unison, and are
widely scattered over the city. Several
eminent professors will lecture on the
same subject, on the same day, and at
the same hour. If, 5nmedicine in all it's
branches could be taught in one great
central, building, 50 that the student
could go directly from one professor,
another explaining another subject re-
lated to the first, it would be a great
gain. This is what is done in Vienna,
where: the doctor studied medicine in
general several years ago, and where,
as he EXPRESSED it, the professors eft
into one another = 1t has created a
large body of what are known as edo
cens,' graduated physicians, but not
necessarily professors, who make spe-
clalty OF teaching foreign students,
whose number exceeds that Of the prac
ticing physicians, and who are great
aid to scholars. 1t is generally ac
knowledged that Paris is the very first
city in the knowledge and treatment Of
skin diseases. One great physician,
after patient research, has discovered
a method of tempering the force Of
radium, by mixing it with some chem
ical SO that it does not burn the skin,
and only causes, temporary injury to
the hair, as the roots are numbed with
out being destroyed. He applied this
preparation with success in treating
ringworm in the head. The skin would
not blister, and the hair, though it al
ways fell OUT always came back
again. DR.. .Kilroy is Of the opinion that
if one only shows any French scientist
that one is really interested in his work,
that is all the introduction that is neces-
sary. It was thus that he became ac-
quainted with DR.. Saboureau, who is,
perhaps, the greatest, Of all the authori-
/ ties on skin diseases in Paris, and had
great advantages in seeing him in hos
i pital work, and in listening to his lee
lures. This physician is a many-sided
man, being a fair painter and a good
sculptor, and recognized authority on
botany, mineralogy and geology, in
which he became interested while study
ing bacteriology and biology.

pret these indictments as in any sense a
criticism upon the present management
of that company. The alleged offenses
for which indictments have been rem
dered, were all committed under the
former management; the present man
agement had no connection Herewith
whatever, and we take sincere pleasure
before us indicates the present manage.
nent ct the company to be thoroly hon
est, efficient and competent
We regret that two offenders,
equally guilty with those indicted, are,
under the statute of limitations, to
escape the punishment merited by their
offenses. The evidence submitted to
us shows that former Insurance Com
missioner J.. A. 0 'Shaughnessy accept
ed a bribe of $4,000 for suppressing an
unfavorable report Of special exam
iHer, and that George F. Getty was a
party to the conversion Of the funds of
the insurance company, under fraudu-
lent contracts similar to those because
OF similar action under which Messrs.
Bechtel, Kerr, Campbell and Force were
indicted, and that Q 'Shaughnessy and
mention this fact in our report, as the
nearest approach to justice that we are
able to render under the circumstances.
And we wish to add, in this connection,
that we question the wisdom of a stat
ute of limitations for criminal offenses
certainly SO short limit. Such
statute is apparently an Inheritance Of
the days when the government repre-
sented a dreaded tyranny, against
which the citizen or subject should be
protected at all hazards We believe
these statutes have outlived their use
fulness and should be abrogated, or at
least the time limit should be greatly
increased - s. :,
The indictments returned today will
| precipitate one of the most hotly con-
tested legal fights ever waged in Min.
neapolis. Time, money and legal tai
ent will be used lavishly by the de-
Tense, and some nice questions Of law
will be raised for the first time in this
state. The prosecutors admit that it
is grave question Of law as to the
criminal liability Of the defendants for
some Of the acts that, are unquestion-
ably wrong. The trials will undoubt-
edly clarity and crystalize the laws
and may result In needed legislation.
Civil suits for restitution Of funds
alleged to have been wrongfu1ly di-
verted are another prospective feature.

the monarch, as hitherto, but of the sec.
