NEW NAVAL CHIEF
NEwBERRY SUCCEEDS METcALF
AS SECRETARY.
Has Held Post Of First Assistant In
Department Since 1905-is a BusI-
ness Man But Has Had
Naval Experience.

Misunderstanding OF the Navy
Victor H. Metcalf rendered his resig-
nation to the president to take effect
on December 1. The president accept
ed his resignation and appointed AS
sistant Secretary of the Navy Truman
ii. Newberry as his successor.
III health was the cause of Mr.. Met
calfs resignation. He has been suf-
fering for a year from nervous break
down that has rendered 1t impossible
for him to remain at his desk for any
length of time, and the chronic nature
of his trouble has caused him to aban-
with the cares of office.
In accepting Mr. Metcalf's resigna-
ton. the president recognized the i'm
possibility of his retaining office. and
expressed his reluctance to give up
the assistance which Mr.. Metcalf had
given him both as secretary of COM
merce and labor and as secretary of
the navy.
The appointment of Mr.. Newberry
comes as no surprise. for 1t has been
generally understood that he was the
man for the navy portfolio should Mr..
Metcalf find 1t necessary to retire. The
appointment also is recognized as one
which is almost certain to continue
into the term of Mr.. Taft. Mr. New
berry has been a close friend and
stanch supporter of the president
elect. -
Secretary Newberry has had naval
service. He took great interest in the
Michigan state naval brigade a few
years ago, serving successfully as
landsman, lieutenant, and navigator.

Influenza, pneumonia, measles. scarlet

ventilation of Offices. shops, public

er sanitary measures, such as the
avoidance OF overcrowding. the aboli-

Of indiscriminate kissing. The last

woman will not appear well dressed
in the evening II she wears a day coat.
Besides looking so much more dis
tinctive, a regular evening coat has
another advantage; 1t is cut and hung
so that 1t will not crush the most
delicate fabric worn under 1t. The
lining is usually of light color to
protect the dainty gown.
Warmth should above all things be
considered. One of the most unwise
things woman can do is to wear
one of the fashionable low necked,
almost sleeveless ball gowns, and over
that lightweight wrap, often cut on
the Japanese kimona lines, that never
were intended for warmth. There real
ly is not the least danger in wearing
the thinnest of gowns If the wrap is
warm enough. 1t need not be padded

Oranges Form One Of the Best Of
Dietary Articles.

Oranges will lend pleasant aid to
the woman who wants to grow thin
ner. She must take the juice of at
least two at every meal and these
must not be sweet ones. She must
also give up oil with her salad and
substitute lemon juice for vinegar.
She cannot have cream or sugar in
her coffee and the coffee itself, save
at breakfast, must give place to sugar
less and milkless weak tea. She can
have all the acid fruit she wants, but
If 1t be stewed no sugar must be add
ed. Grapes. peaches, melons, prunes
and bananas are tabooed, as they are
flesh producers. No cereals for her,
no hot bread save dry toast, no pork
in any form, no veal and no water
with her meals, and Just as little away
from them as she can endure, mineral
water being taken by preference. DR..
Weir Mitchell advocates copious
draughts of skim milk for the safe
reduction of flesh. He states If 1t be
taken plentifully at and between
meals 1t will positively cause patient
to lose half a pound of flesh a day.
Baths must be taken In cold water

REASONS OF THE DRUGGIST.
For Not Having In Stock the Thing
Called for by the Customer.

Druggists are unaccountable folk
surely. The other day a man was
looking for a certain patented article
and tried five drug stores in turn in
the same neighborhood before he was
successful. Naturally in the stores
where he failed, the offer of something
just as good was made. but that
wasn't the thing that hist him hardest.
In the second store the druggist
said: 81 did have that stuff in stock,
but l never had any call for it. The
only people who ever asked for IL
we're the agents of the company, and
they were around here all the time to
see IL we had it in stock. So 1 gave
1t up"
In the next store, block away, the
druggist said: Yes, / did keep that
once, but when 1 ran out of the first
supply l never could get the company
to send any more. l was looking out
for the wagon all the time, but for
three weeks at time they never sent
it up here. so 1 got tired of waiting.
Now don't keep it."
