Doctors Say
 Drink Beer
With Your Meals it VIII Aid Digest- ion as We'll ms Give You
 an Appetite


 nm Appetite.
 Doctors find pure beer one of the most reliable tonics. On account of its high nourishing qualities when made from eight-day malt and choicest hops. as Pabst Beer is, it is prescribed as superior adjunct to the diet of the convalescent.
 Pure. well-aged beer is a tonic, an appetizer. an aid to digestion, and a food that is strengthening and nour- ishfng. Solid foods are injurious if partaken of too freely. because solids remain in the stomach long time and retard digestion. Nourishing liquids such as milk. soups or good beer quickly pass fro mthe stomach (physi- ologists say in about 45 minutes). Milk is sS per cent. water and 12 per cent. nourishment. Pabst Beer is Ss per cent. sterilized water and 12 per cent. nourishment. That is good bear, the richest, cleanest, purest beer known.
 Pabst Beer Is superior because it is manufactured by the exclusive Pabst method of brewing-with eight-day malt and choicest hops, the result of 60 years successful scientific and practi- cal research.
 When we drink a glass of beer we want to know we are drinking beer made from best materials in a per fectly clean manner When you drink Pabst Beer you are sure of the best materials and absolute cleanness.
 Malt is the soul of beer and when we say that the exclusive Pabst S-day method of making malt gives more extract-more nourishment-than any other malt you will know why 1t is that Pabst Beer is superior. When we tell you that from the time the mash Is cooked until the perfect ly brewed. perfectly aged beer Is bar relied or bottled 1t never comes In contact with any air but sterilized air and is never touched by human hands. you will know why Pabst Beer ex- cells in purity and cleanness.
 These are reasons why doctors everywhere recommend Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer as always clean and wholesome, as well as pure and re- freshing.

Consular Reforms.

The proposed law Is not designed, 1t is said, to bring the service within the civil service law. but to reorganize 1t upon lines that will improve it's effi- ciency. It Is difficult to see how it can be made more efficient by smaller salaries Adequate salaries and longer tenure of office is the only way in which to secure the most competent officiais. Whatever yaw is passed 1t remains to be seen whether or not the reigning political party will hesitate to make removals and appointments for political reasons.

In Austria a man" and a woman
are considered to be capable OF conduct
ing a home of their own from the ages
of fourteen-a fact which accounts IN
no small degree for the spirit of child
fatherhood of the man so prevalent IN
Austria.
In Germany q man must be eighteen
years of age. but the age OF the bride
elect is left TO popular discretion.
In France the man must be eighteen
and the woman fifteen, while IN beisluih
the same standard prevails.
In Spain the intending husband must
have passed his fourteenth year and tue
woman her twelfth. These hgures' IN
connection with the admitted poverty OF
spain, socially considered, are fun OF the
deepest meaning.
In Hungary, for Roman Catholics the
man must be fourteen years old and the
woman twelve; for Protestants, the man
must be eighteen and the woman fifteen.
This speaks well for Protestant common
sense in this particular matter.
IN Greece the man must have seen al
least fourteen summers and the woman
twelve.
In Portugal a boy of fourteen is con
sidered manageable, and a woman OF
twelve.

The Revenue Cutter Cadet School
has been comparatively little known
up TO the present time, chiefly ow-

limited number of cadets could be
admitted annually. At no time in
recent years has there been more
than about twenty-four prospective
officers under instruction anu the

made up of only five or six mem
beers. However, a change has come
about of late and a new era is at
hand for this unique seat of learn
ing. The rapid development of the
Revenue Cutter Service with the
consequent increase in its feet of
steam vessels has rendered impera-
tiv an increase in the complement
of officers available for sea duty, and
the Navy Department has within
the past few weeks turned over to
the Treasury Department the up

these subjects, in somewhat broader
scope. are given great attention dur
ing the third and last year of the
course.
The method of instruction and
the administration of discipline are
similar TO those practiced at Uncle
Sans other two great national
academies. Any mark below 20 out
of a possible 100 is considered a
failure. and failure in a single sub
iect of the course is invariably fol-
lowed by a request for the resigna-
ton of the cadet so deficient, so that
il can be seen that at Arundel Cove,

who enter the institution succeed
in sticking until graduation time.

The exam; nations for admission
to the Revenue Cutter Service
School are conducted by the Civil
Service Commission. whose extern
sive machinery, working in all the
States, enables many applicants TO
compete who might otherwise be de-
TERED by the expense of a trip to
Washington. The examinations are
thorough. but not or UNDUE severity,
and embrace such subjects as SPELL
ing, arithmetic, algebra, geography,
geometry. history, physics, gram
mar, English literature, and one
modern language. While the desire
of the Service is to secure college
men and particularly graduates of
technical schools, any bright boy
with a high school education, has
a chance TO win out in the distribu-
ton of the coveted appointments.
An applicant for d cadetship must
be not less than eighteen, nor more
than twenty-five years of age: not
less than five feet three inches in
height. and unmarried This latter
is regarded as a NEST important
requisite, and the marriage of
cadet while at the training school
is equivalent TO his resignation. In
