ports. This is a delicate and com
plex problem in book keeping and
one about which thecommission-
ers are not at all decided, so if
anyone can come forward with a
cheap and easy solution of it,
they would be glad to hear from
him.
The question of oil burning in
warships has been studied by the
Navy Departm antforsomey years.
They have watched the progress
that has been made abroad in
this line and after seeing all that
has been done and watching o
good many experiments taken
up and abandoned, they h a V e
gone into the business with q view
to meet American conditions
One rsason that nothing definite
has been accomplished heretofore
is that coal has been much cheap
er than oil on the Atlantic coast,
SO there was not the motive Of
economy. But now tnat the bat
tleshipsquadron is going to the
Pacific where the cost problem is
reversed, there is likelihood of
more being done. The Monitor
Wyoming which is now at the
Mare Island Yard in San Fran
cisco, is being fitted for oil burn
ing. The work on her will be com
pleted before the battleship squad
ron reaches the Pacific and she
will be given sea trials under SER
vice conditions. The new 10000
ton battleships, the Delaware and
the North Dakota, are b in 6
planned to use oil as an auXil
iary fuel. They will he able to car
ry $50 tons of oil IN their double
bottoms and this will beequal to
about 600 tons of added coal
capacity. This will give them al
together a steaming radius OF
about 1000 miles, meaning that
that they could 60 25 days at
cruising speed without recoaling.
1t is not likely that oil will ever
be used as the sole fuel for any
except the perhaps the some Of
the torpedo boatsand destroyers
but with the coal, it helps out the
consumption greatly and in a
forced draft emergency, it will
crowd up the steam as coal alone
cannot possibly do.
In the same connection, it may
be said that the Navy Depart
ment has looked with the great.
est interest on the performance
of the Lusitania which has just
broken all the transatlantic rec.
ords. The Lusitania is a turbine

ships, but the feature of the tur
bine is that while it is good fol
high speeds, it is wasteful and ur
satisfactory for low speeds. The
most of a warship's travelling
is done at what is termed "cruis
ing speed" and this is too slow
for the, economical use OF the tur
bine. So in planning the ne "
ships, the Department has "r

Entitled 10 Red Package for Pills.

The Carter Medicine Co.. of New
York. states that its exclusive right as
owner of Little Liver Pills 10 the red
package has just been again confirmed
by two important DEGREES Of the United
States Circuit Court sitting at Trenton,
y. j. 1t says The suit OF the Carter
Medicine Co. in that court, for an in
Junction restraining a Camden (N. j.
pill manufacturer from using red
colored package for his preparation is
decided in favor of the Carter co. A
similar result occurs in a suit to enloin
n retail druggist from selling pills in
red packages. Both actions were con
tested.
The court decides that the Carter
Medicine Co. has for many years had
the sole and exclusive right to the use
of red-colored wrappers and labels
upon small round packages of liver
pills, and says that the right was ac-
qured by the adoption of that color
more than thirty years ago, and by its
continuous use ever since. The de
PENDANT in each case is permanently en-
joined from manufacturing or putting
up any liver pills in such red cOlOred
packages, and also from selling any
pills in red packages, except the genu-
inc Carter's.
The DEGREES direct the defendants
among other things, TO deliver up TO
the Carter Co. for destruction, all In
frineing wrappers, packages. BOTTLES,
etc. The defendants are required to
account to the complainant and TO pay
the damages found due, as well ms to
the costs of the action
While the Carter Medicine Com
pany's sole right TO the red package
has been upheld by many previous ad-
publications., these decisions are coRsid-
cred of especial Importance, iD view of
