EVILS OF JUDO.
Admiral Sands Wants It Abolished at
the Naval Academy.

The testimony of Rear Admiral Sands,
superintendent of the United States Naval
Academy, before the House committee on
naval affairs, which has just been made
public, shows that the admiral hastt been
favorably impressed by the Japanese
method of wrestling, popularized by the
Presidents Endorsement, and introduced at
the academy. This is what Admiral Sands
told the members OF the committee about
judo.

upon the Japanese method when / am

of wrestling l do not think the Japanese
method Is in any way preferable TO ours.

jure a man more seriously, and the more
you know about IL the more temptation
there is to injure an adversary. and 10

spirit of sport.
Admiral Sands said the instruction IN
boxing has nothing to do with any pre-
disposition to fighting at the academy and
that hereafter there will De no ffst nights

have been accepted by the mtdshipmen IN
good faith, that the cadet and petty off,

command their companies Just exactly as
in the army: officers and non-commissioned
officers are on duty all the time to cheek
any disturbance There is no probability of
any infraction which will not be reported
by one OF these officers"
Members of the committee asked Admiral
Sands many questions about Midshipman
Kimbrough, who is being snubbed by other
midshipnen. Admiral Sands said the young
men treat each other politely In their Of
fetal relations and he is poweriess to reach
other insults. Representative Mudd asked

misdeeds of some classmates. rather than

You will notice that New York is the only
American city which gives a birth rate,
while all the other prominent cities of the
world are represented. The highest birth
rate in the world Is at Cairo; Buenos Ayres
comes second, and then the great manufac-
turing cities of England. The lowest birth
rates are reported from Calcutta. Brussels
and Paris.
DIR. Woodwork of the health office at
Washington tells me that the death rate of
this city Is based upon. a population of 323,-
123 including both co.ored and white. The
greatest degree of mortality prevails among
the colored people because Of lack Of care.
proper nourishment and other reasons. II
the white mortality alone were reported,
Washington would have one of the lowest
death rates of any city in the world.

OF Washington 9, Alb people were born and

| pounded after formula concerning
which there can be no question, by
skilled chemists and by thoroughly
scientific processes. Doctor Pierce
is perfectly willing to let every one
know that his 'FAVORITE PRE-
SCRIPTION" contains Blue CO.
hosh root, Lady's Slipper root, Uni
corn root, Black Cohosh root and
Golden Seal root. Every doctor
knows that such prescription is
beneficial in the diseases OF women
and when properly compounded is
certain to effect a cure in nearly all
cases when given fair trial. Every
bottle of the "FANORITE PRE-
SCRIPTION" which leaves DIR.
Pierce's immense laboratories i'll
Buffalo, n Y, has plainly printed
upon its wrapper all the ingredients
of which it is composed. Thus DR..
Pierce proves to the world his own
confidence in the remedy which for
forty years has borne his name and
which is known all through the
United States and Canada, England,
Australia, and in parts of South
America, Africa and Asia, as SOW
ereign cure for those diseases which,
unchecked, make our women old be-
fore their time.
1t will be noticed that there is no
alcohol in the "FAVORITE PRE-
SCRIPTION.' DR.. Pierce never
believed in using alcohol in the pre-
paration of his famous household
remedies. For it, he substitutes
chemically pure glycerine, which has
wonderful properties for extracting
the medicinal principles of roots and
preserving them at their full
strength, without any deleterious
effect whatever.
In favor of DIR. Pierce's medicines
is the frank, conhding, open, honest
statement of their full composition,
giving every ingredient in plain Eng
lish, without fear of successful criti-
cism and with confidence that the
good sense of the afflicted will lead
them to appreciate this honorable
manner of conhding to them what
they are taking into their stomachs
when making use of these medi-
cines
DIR. Pierce feels that he can afford
to take the afflicted into his full con-
fidence and layall the ingredients of
his medicines freely before them be-
cause these ingredients are such as
are Endorsed and most strongly
praised by scores of the most emf
nent medical writer's of all the sew
eral schools of practice as cures for
the diseases for which these medi-
cines are recommended.

FROM the view point Vi TIC ave-
age man homework is very easy.
The wife is right at home. She is her
own mistress. She can sit down and
rest any time. She can even go to
bed for nap if she feels like it. She
can order her household affairs just
TO suit her own convenience. If she
doesn't feel equal to doing work to-
day, she can do it tomorrow. That's
the beautiful theory of the average
man.
Just suppose the Egyptian task
masters, when they made the re-
quired daily tale of bricks tax the
uttermost of human strength, had
said to the toiling slaves: Don't
hurry, take rest every now and
then-only don't forget that your
tale of bricks must be all right at
night or else there'll be trouble.
There's the fact. There are the
days duties to be got through, and
the women who can rest may not.
The woman, who, when she married,
said, Now, I'll be my own mis-
tress," finds herself slave to house
hold cares and duties.
And oh how much that woman
needs rest sometimes. She brushes
and scrubs, and rolls pastry, her
temples throbbing, her back aching,
her nerves quivering under the stress
of pain. What she would give if she
could just creep upstairs and THROW
herself on the bed in a darkened
/ room and rest.
Rest would temporarily relieve the
strain, doubtless, but it would be the
same story Over again tomorrow.
The real need of weak, nervous
women is strength, and that need is
fully met and satised by DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription 1t makes
weak women strong and sick women
we'll. 1t removes the causes of wom-
ems weakness, tranquilizes and in
vigorates the nerves, encourages the
appetite and induces restful sleep.
"Favorite Prescription" is a positive
cure for the most complicated and
obstinate cases of leucorrhea, exces-
sive flowing, painful menstruation,
unnatural suppressions and irregu-
larities, prolapsus or falling of the
womb, weak back, female weak

FRENCH Law MODIFIED.
Request of american Insurance
Companies Granted.

Paris, Feb. 14-The French government has
made a notable concession to the American In
surance companies, whereby the new insurance
law will not be applied TO affect injuriousIy
their interests. This closes a long and animated
controversy, which threatened at one time to re-
suit in restrictions making 1t difficult for the
American companies to continue business in
France The concessions now granted are dis
tirct mark OF the governments desire 10 foster
the friendly relations between the two countries.
This friendly action is taken at a time when the
American delegates at Algeciras are able to
exert important pressure toward settling the
Franco-German differences.
The insurance law permitted the government
70 require foreign companies to deposit French
securities as guarantee for the payment OF
French policies. The American companies
agreed 10 deposit French bonds covering their
future business, but they objected to making a
large purchase Of French securities covering
their past business. The Minister OF Commerce
insisted on deposits on past business, approx
rnately S2O000000 The government has now
waived the latter deposit on condition that the
companies publicly announce that their past
business is guaranteed by American securities
and not by French securities. The regulation to
this effect with the government Endorsement,
has been submitted TO the Council OF State as a
preliminary 10 its PRONUNCIATION by the State De-
partment.
Ambassador Mccormick. who is now at sea on
his way back TO his post. has taken an active
part in the discussion. Its satisfactory conclu-
sion has been communicated TO Washington by
the Charge d'Affaires Mr.. Vignaul. who advised
the department that IL the belief in diplo-
matte quarters that Frances friendly course

rnents from the American government and SYM

Mr.. sAFoNoFF AND THE PHILHARMONIC

Current reports about the engagement OF Mr.

monic Society seem to call for correction. Some
time ago the board of directors was appointed
committee by the society 10 consider the question
Of the conduotorship for next season and report
the subject to the society at early opportunity
A subcommittee OF the board had more less
informal discussion of the matter with Mr.. Safono
on the afternoon Immediately preceding his de-
parture for Europe last week At this meeting It
developed that Mr. Safonoff DESTROYS to re-
turn next season to conduct a larger number Of
concerts than he conducted this season. and that
his obligations IN Russia made January and Feb
ruary the most practicable period for his visit
The plan met with the approval OF the sub-com-
mittee, and, though nothing definite was agreed on
II seems likely that Mr.. Safonof will direct three
or four subscription concerts, with their public re-
hearsals. with possibly an extra pair thro wn in.
