TO GEORGE CHINA
WAR DEPARTMENT RUSHING
TROOPS TO THE EAST.
LATE ADVICES ALARMING
Boycott Against Americans Intensified
Naval Demonstration by the
United States Considered Possible.

Washington.-Ther are several cvi-
dences that the administration is pre-
pared to apply the big stick" policy
to China If the latter shows evidences
of defiance.
Several weeks ago it was reluctantly
admitted at the War Department that
the troops in the Philippines were be
ing materially increased, in the face OF
Secretary Taft's declaration that no
more than 10000 men were required to
keep order. because the administration
feared that there was going to be trou-
BILE for the United States in China.
Prior to this the statement had been
made upon the same authority that ad-
ditionaI troops were to be sent there,
that by that time brigade drills might
be made possible.
Advices from China received here
and at London are admittedly of most
alarming character.
To-day II was said at the Navy De-
partment that following the compile
ton of Rear Admiral Sigsbee's cruise
the Galveston and the Chattanooga
would be sent East through the Suez
canal to Chinese waters
Almost at the same moment 1t was
declared in the State Department upon
authority that every report from an
American consul general in China was
to the effect that the boycott and the
feeling against America now fourished
as never before and the reports
mounted foot high.
Continuously cropping up were pla-
cards denouncing Americans and cry
ing that If the boycott and demonstra-
tion were only kept up, America would
let down the bars to Chinese immi-
grafton.
Again and again, it was said, the
American minister, Mr.. Rockhill. and
his assistants have protested to the ap-
thorities against these unfriendly
proclamations, and told the viceroys
of the provinces in which they were
posted that they would be held person
ally responsible by the United States
for any hostile acts which might fol-
low.
The placards were taken down and
drastic DEGREES issued by the viceroys,
but only to have the placarding re-
peated.
In view Of these various declarations.
all upon the same subject, il is gem
orally believed here that unless there
is a change in the Chinese situation
within the next few months. an Amer
lean demonstration is a strong posi-

HAzING LAW TOO SEVERE.
President Urges That It Shall Be
Modified.

Washington--The President mas
made public letter urging upon Con-
gress modification of the law against
hazing at the naval academy
Unless Congress shall promptly
amend the existing law against hazing
which makes mandatory the dismissal
Of any midshipman found guilty of any
form OF hazing. the secretary of The
navy may be forced 10 dismiss thirty
three midshipmcn from the naval acad-
emy within the next month, in addition
TO the eight who have already suffered
this penalty and the three whose cases
are awaiting the action of the depart
ment
In his letter the President says:
Il have directed that a pardon be is
sued to John Paul Miller. a midship-
man al the United States Naval Acad-
emy recently convicted of 'hazing' and
sentenced to dismissal from the acad-
emy. In the discussion of this case
my attention has been called forcibly
TO the unsatisfactory condition OF the
law on this subject. A midshipman ac-
cused of hazing, whether the extent OF
his offense be great or small, must lie
tried by court-martial. The findings of
such court. IL approved by the superin-
tendent of the academy, are declared
final and can not be revised by the
secretary of the navy or even by me,
and neither the court itself nor the gu
perintendent nor the secretary OF the
navy has any discretion as to the pun
ishment to be imposed.
Il heartily disapprove of the prac-
tice of hazing. and, in common with all
those interested in the welfare of the
academy. wish to see this practice
thoroughly eradicated there. But the
punishment of dismissal is altogether
disproportionate to the culpability in
yolyed in some forms of haZing.'

and most times the horse stables are
near the COW barns. In this way the
flies breeding in the stables fly almost
directly to the milk. Unless special
precautions are taken flies on farm
may also transfer typhoid germs to
the milk from cesspools and earth
vaults.
Niuety-nine of every hundred flies
that infest houses belong to the fam
lily which breeds in stable filth. 1t is
found in nearly every part of the
world. 1t cannot bite, for its mouth
is formed only to suck up fluids. 1t
multiplies tremendously, and, ac-
cording to DR.. Howard, one female
fly lays an average of 120 eggs in
season. An egg hatches in eight
hours and becomes full-fedged fly
in ten days, during five of which it is
a maggot, eating ravenously and
growing at such rate that, were it
OF human size, 1t would be a foot
taller every night. The maggot
turns into pupa and sleeps for
nearly five days before emerging with
wings and flying off to .the nearest
kitchen. One stable will breed fes
for houses three blocks away.-New

The Housefy.

Many epidemics which sweep over
communities in hot season have
been traced to the fly. Having it's
origin in filth, it brings with it the
bacteria which breed in filth. And
as it moves about, now crawling over
refuse, now over the food of the
table, flying from the lips OF the sick
to the lips of the healthy, it is said to
be more dangerous to modern society
than were the wild beasts to primi-
tive man.
An illustration of how the house
fly may disseminate the germs of
cholera was shown not long ago in a
a Manila prison. This disease had
been causing the death of two to five
convicts day. Neither the water
nor the foods were infected, as had
been proven by careful examination.
Finally, the surgeons suspected the
flies, and accordingly they took the
most drastic precautions to prevent
them from reaching any infectious
material in the prison. They also
kept them from Vhe foods. All the
windows and doors were screened
and fly paper was used in large
quantities to catch occasional in
truders. The epidemic promptly
ended.
The high mortality among children
in the congested districts of a city,
where families are closely crowded
together, where refuse accumulates,
and where food is often kept in
living rooms, is due, to a large de-
gree, so scientists now say, to the fly.
Infant diseases chiefly prevail in the
hot season, when the flies abound
DIR. j. r. G. Nash, in the Journal o.
the Royal Sanitary Institute, giving
his experience as an English health
officer, says that the fly is responsible
for the death of many children be-
cause of polluting the milk which
they drink. The fly is especially font
of milk, and plants bacteria in it
which breed rapidly. Milk is thus
infected, not only in city homes
where it is exposed, but at farm
before it is brought TO the city

Here's a Way to Save Doctor Bills.

It's matter of general interest
just now how ones physical condi-
tion can be got into shape to best
receive the benefits of the summer
season. Especially is this true of the
children. They have become run
down by winter of unnatural man.
ner of living because of ill-considered
food ind much time spent indoors.
Spring comes with it's sunshine, its
fresh vegetables and all else invig-
Grating, but the children are in no
condition to receive natures rene
dies.
Many parents call in the family
physician. Many other parents take
advantage of what the physician told
them when he was first called in con:
sultation. All good family physi-
clans say: "Give the children Cas-.
toria." Healthy parents know this
remedy of old, for they took it them
selves as children. 1t was more than
thirty years ago that Castoria made
a place for itself in the household. 1t
bore the signature of Charlas H..
Fletcher then, as it does to-day. The
signature is its guarantee, which is
accepted in thousands of homes
where there are children.
Much is printed nowadays about
big families. DR.. William j. Nc
Cram, of Omaha, Neb., is the father
of one of these much-read- about fam
lilies. Here is what he says:
Gas the father of thirteen children
I certainly know something about
your great medicine, and aside from
my own family experience have, in
my years of practice, found Castoria
popular and efficient remedy in
almost every home"
Charles II. Fletcher has received
hundreds of letters from prominent
physicians who have the same esteem
for Castoria that DR.. McCrann has.
Not only do these physicians say they
use Castoria in their own families, but
they prescribe it for their patients.
First of all it is a vegetable prepara-
tion which assimilates the food and
regulates the stomach and bowels.
After eating comes sleeping, and
Castoria looks out for that, too. 1t
allays feverishness and prevents loss
of sleep, and this absolutely without
the use of opium, morphine or other
baneful narcotic.
Medical journals are reluctant to
discuss proprietary medicines. Halls
Journal of Health, however, says :
"Our duty is to expose danger and
record the means for advancing
health. The day for poisoning inno-
cent children through greed or
ignorance ought to end. To our
knowledge Castoria is remedy
which produces composure and health
by regulating the system, not by
stupefying it, and our readers are en-
titled to the information"
