ARMY PAY TOO SMALL;
VACANCIES AT WEST POINT
Superintendent of Academy Says Mill
tary Life Does Not Offer Enough
Advantages to Young
Men
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Nov 5.-The story
often told of late of the inadequacy of
the army pay was repeated with new
variation in the annual report of Col.
Scott, superintendent of the military
academy. In this case for the first time
in the history of the institution difficulty
has been experienced in securing num-
ber of cadets to fill the ranks of the CORPS
Col Scott says that this corps is now
seventy-three below its authorized
strength end the number of designations
from the regular army include ninety Of
the graduates from the academy.
Col. Scott says:
''In the matter of trained soldiers the
output of the military academy cannot
with safety be permitted to fall below
the rate of consumption of those who
have gone before. plus the increased re-
quirements of great and growing nation.
1t is believed that the more lucrative pur-
suits and greater fields for promotion in
private life are securing young men from
these careers of small pay and slow pro-
motion in our country's service"

TESTING BRIQUETTE
FOR USE IN THE NAVY
rorpedo Boat Steams Far with New
Fuel and Finds That 1t Makes
More Smoke Than
Expected

NORFOLK. Va, Nov. 5.-The first Of
ficial test of briquette as fuel by tne
United States navy was made yester-
day on the torpedo boat Biddie, whlch
had, on board the members OF the ma
tional board on fuel and structural ma
terial.
The visitors, among them being lead
ing fuel experts of the country. went
on board the torpedo boat near the
Jamestown exposition grounds IN the
afternoon and were taken about thirty
miles out to sea.
ON the trip out the Biddle made an
average speed of thirty-five miles an
hour. The briquettes were burned un-
der one boiler, while the other useo
coal 1t was declared much hotter
FIRE was maintained by the briquette
than by the coal.
At the start there was considerapie
smoke from the briauettes. This was
a disaupointment to the experts, but II
know how to use the new fuel, which
accounted for much of the smoke. IN
der instructions from experts OF the
technological branch of the United
states geological survey the firemen did
much better, although they did not op-
tain smokeless conditions.
This first test, while not conclusive,
is considered a success. as the steam
ing qualities Of the fuel were excel
lent Among those who witnessed the
fest were DR.. G. Otis Smith, director
of the geological survey; Joseph A.
Holmes, chief of the chronological
branch of the geological survey Com
mander E. D. Nelson of the navy and

CATARRH OF
THE STOMACH
A Most Dangerous Disease, Which
Causes Serious Results, Unless
Properly Treated

Catarrh of the stomach is very COM
mon and is known as one of the most
obstinate diseases, which, when neglected
or improperly treated with cheap patent
medicines, tonics, drugs. pills and other
secret quack remedies results in broken
down constitution and often consumption
and death.
Catarrh of the stomach, like every
other disease of the stomach except can
Ger, is the result of poor digestion. The
digestive organs have become weak, there
is a lack of gastric juice, your food isv
only half digested, and as a result you
become affected with loss OF appetite,
pressure and fullness after eating, heart
burn, vomiting, waterbrash, tenderness at
pit of stomach Shiny tongue, bad taste in
the mouth constipation, pain in limbs
and face, sleeplessness. nausea, belching
of gas, diarrhoea, sick headaches, dizzi-
ness, mental depression. nervous weak
ness and many other common symptoms.
If your stomach cannot digest the food
you eat then the stomach needs rest,
as that is the only way you can get rid
of your catarrh, but in the meantime
your body needs plenty of nourishment.
because you must live. and in order to
live you must eat and if you must eat
your food must be properly digested, and
If your stomach is too weak to do the
work then you must get substitute
that will do the work.

known substitute that will digest your
food as well as any healthy stomach.
