There are tens of thousands of young men out of college. or just about to come out, who are thinking what profession they will adopt. There are as many fathers in this country who are wonder ing what would be the best profession for their sons The ordinary professions and walks of fife are chOck full, although one can always truthfully say of each that there is room at the top. Fathers and their sons hardly ever think about careers out of the ordinary rut. Hence this article. Few people are there in the United States who know much about the cable service, the submarine cable and its advantages.
 The cable service Is quite different from the ordinary job of the telegraphist. AL most every well-infOrmed man Is con- versant with the work of the employees in the Western Union and Postal Telegraph Companies But a cablist gets better pay. has a more adventurous life and many more chances of promotion than teleg- raphist
 Associated with the development of the system of the worlds cables. now aggre- gating some 25O 900 nautical miles, IS some admirable scientific, technical and administrative talent.
 An army of over 20, 900 men and a fleet of about 45 ships are at present engaged in the different branches of cable work manufacturing, laying, repairing and op- erating. Directors, managers. superinten- dents, engineers, electricians and operators must all be smart men, for in this pro- fession there is DO room for the sluggard or the timewaster. resourceful mind. prompt action, personal courage, devotion to duty and a contempt for danger are all required of a man in this service. It would be difficult to imagine a more at- tractive career for an adventurous young man. By judicious change of companies a man In 10 years could travel right around the world in the practice of his profession.
 It is worthy of note that while nearly all the cable companies of the world are foreign ones the young men they recruit for their service are mostly Americans or Brttishers. Of course, hundreds of the

WHY NOT PROTECT ARIZoNA's
 FRUIT GROWER7
To the Editor of The Republican:

To the Editor of The Republican:
 sir:-The Salt River Valley is a fine country for fruit. as well as alfalfa.
 There should be no reason why it should not raise at least enough for it's own consumption the year around, and in time it will, but it must have some laws to protect the grower or it win be better off not to have any fruit.
 For instance, in California. where was in horticulture and viticulture for twenty years, We had. at one time, no strict laws on spraying. Trees were shipped in and the scale came with them so that the fruit busi- ness was doomed. In consequence, We passed laws forcing everyone to spray. If you did not, the supervisor. at the advice of the horticultural commission, did it for you and you paid the bill.
 For the pear blight, which I see you have here (and at a place where I least expected to find it) if the owner would not care for it, have known the entire orchard to be cut down and burned and the owner paid for it.
 About two years ago the white fly struck OrovilIe and thousands of bearing orange trees were cut down and burned.
 Now, what is to prevent just such things happening here when trees are allowed to come in without inspection from all over the United States?
 You will not only have the scale, smut, white fly, scab, blight, etc, that California has had to fight. but you will have the yellows and other eastern diseases.
 No trees, shrubs or vines are all lowed to enter California now without being inspected by the county horti- cultural commissioner at the freight house, and if found diseased, are burned at once. Neither are trees allowed to go from one county to another without first being inspected at the nursery
 The county stands the expense of the horticultural commissioner and the commissioner appoints what as- sistants he needs, with the consent of the supervisors.
 You need laws here to force every one to spray for the codlin moth, the peach worm and other insects that may delevOlp later. and for the eradi- cation of the pear blight and Johnson grass. If this grass is not killed out it will take the valley; indeed, it is doing it now in great strides.
 In California they look upon John son grass as a man would upon a midnight burglar.
 After you have your laws then you need county horticultural com missioners to see that the laws are not violated. The sooner this is ac- complished the better it will be for the country.
 I shall be glad to answer any questions along these lines from any one who cares to ask.
 Yours in the interest of the valley.

For the Man Who Would Be Well Dressed

fin front, where formerly the collar almost met at the throat. The pointed or square wings are still worn, but the rounded points are the proper ones for evening wear. especially with dress suits, and the round collar is now considered very bad form for wear with either a dress suit or a tuxedo. White ties are also only be- ing worn with the swallow tail. and only black ties with the tuxedo.
 There Is quite change latterly also in vests or waistcoats, as some people prefer to call them. The evening vest most in favor at this season of the year, whether in full dress or Tuxedo. is a white one with four buttons, covered with the same material as the vest. Fancy buttons have gone out, but if one has a set of jewelled studs 1t is quite the right thing to wear them even with the fancy vest worn in the daytime.

EaectE of Tobacco.


 In regard 10 the use of tobacco, snd es-
 peclaily cigarettes. it Is agreed on the
 part of a very large proportion of medl-
 col authorities that a moderate use of to-

 moderate smoking. medical authorities stnI believe that in almost aine cases out of ten some degree of injury is liable to show itself in the second or, perhaps. the third generation.
 Too Much Beer Is Poison.

These poisons Inter fere with normal cell activities, which re- suit in retention of waste materials and fatty degeneration of the tissues. The in- crease ln weight is, therefore. a pstho- logical rather than a physical process. While in appearance the beer drinker may be the picture of health. the medical ex- perts know that be Is a degenerate. h. capable of recovering from mild disorders. Fruit for BreakfaGt.
 No breakfast can be considered complete without fruit in some form or another. Fresh fruit Is decidedly the best of all. A display of fresh fruit the world over al breakfast Is 6 most commendable pro- ceeding. The presence of two or three kinds of fresh fruit at the table adds to its appearance and attractiveness, and makes the meal much more inviting. But what Is of greater importance Is that the eating of the fruit at the meal is condu- cive to health far more than fl eaten at any other time of the day.
 Health in the House.
 The man of the house should see that its mistress Is versed in some of the sim pier sanitary ideas other than the scrub bing and dusting of the rooms. These come naturally to every woman. but she sometimes forgets very important points. One of the most important Is the dispo- sal of the soiled clothing which awaits the weekly wash. Day by day garments and linen are thrown aside to go to the laundry or the home washtub. Some times this soiled matter Is pushed into a bag. packed into a hamper or merely | thrown into a closet, cupboard or in a | corner behind piece of bedroom furni- | ture. An immense danger lies in such | treatment This is especially the case in | the hot summer weather or h winter, | if that particular room is well heated. The solled linen generates germs and | throws on poisonous gases, which are in- haled by the occupants of the room If it is bedroom, so much the worse. iSolled | clothes should be aired in the sun and kept ID 6 room remote from the bed chambers and living rooms. and the room treated just the same as all other rooms

It will Interest many men to know that the stiff-fronted shirt has for the present had its day. This Is the case with both the white and the colored stin-fronted and stif-cufied shirts. The only use for the white stiff shirt Is to wear with a dress suit, that is to say with the swallow tail. For wear with a tuxedo or dinner jacket there has appeared almost univer- sally among the well-dressed men. a soft shirt. either of soft linen, plain or rufied or of plain or pleated China silk. These shirts have the rolled back cun.
 For day wear the soft shirt with the rolled back cuff is also the correct thing. The well-groomed man now wears only shirts of soft fabrics Tn plain colOrs or stripes, whether with frOcB or sack suits
 The collar has changed again and men are going back to the butterfly collar with the rounded points. There is also a space of one inch between the curves

The fancy vest for day wear is now perfectly plain, and the most fashion able colors are delicate shades of dove grey and champagne. The buttons are covered with the same material.
 Gloves are coming in again for wear at this season. Suede and undressed leather predominate. and the colors are pale shades in lavender, dove gray and silver gray.
 Socks continue to dazzle the eye with their brilliance of coloring. A very fashionable sock can now be seen in all the smart stores made in plain art shades with contrasting clocks. The white cashmere sock still holds its own These look very well, particularly if the clocks match in color the tie worn. The favorite white sock is shot in silk with green, coral pink, turquoise blue, wedge wood blue and heliotrope.

A TIP ABOUT HAMMooKs.

Men. whether married or single, know 8 good deal about hammocks, yet a tip regarding the most comfortable way in which to swing them may not come amiss. To obtain the curve which gives the greatest ease of position the head of the hammock should be six and a quarter feet from the ground and the foot end three and three-quarters. The rope that fastens the head enj should be less than l2 inches long, while the foot rope should be four and a half feet long. This gives the best possible results in swinging, and makes the position ideal

design is of colonial type, the roof is in the gambril method, standing with the broad side to the front and with two old type colonial dormer windows. The cor nice Is plainly treated and the piazza made to harmonize. The niceneSs of the detail in such houses bas much to do with the beauty of the design when finished. If the members are neat and all in good proportion. the general style of the ex- terior will always look well. but if they are poorly proportioned, heavy and clumsy in looks, the exterior will be very much injured. 9
 Through the Eastern states such houses usually have outside window blinds: these are not so much in use in the West. Blinds, however. are a great comfort dur ing the heated months and are strictly in harmony with the colonial feeling and

add much to the appearance of this char acter of building. The green roof always looks well and the white walls with the green blinds appeal to the average Amer icsn. If colors are used, one should be governed somewhat by the surroundings and general location. If the house is To- csted in a densely built-up quarter and the surrounding houses are in dark col ors. the house will look very pretty ID white or very light cream color and also if there Is much shade and foliage about, the light colors look the best. Such a house built in the open country with much space about always looks well in rich dark colors. The interior finish is designed to be of hard wood in the first story. with floor in both stories in hard wood. polished. The woodwork in the second story is enameled white.

Hints for Health.

 How to Drink MIX.
 There are two ways of drinking milk,
 the right and the wrong way, and a ma
 Jority of people drink it the wrong way.
 This Is the chief reason why milk disa-
 grees with some people. Milk must not
 be imblbed like water. It should be
 drunk very slowly, a sip at time. Real
 ly, the best way is to take a teHspoonful at time. There is a scientific reason for drinking milk slowly and in small Qusnti- ties. Mllk curdles as soon as 1t comes
 into contact with the juice of the stom- Rch. If whole glass of milk Is taken at one draught into the stomach the re- suit is a large curd through which the gastric juices cannot readily penetrate aud act with the necessary solvent power.
 Milk, without question. Is one of the most valuable of foods. It contains all the elements necessary for maintaining the physical health of those who know how to use 1t properly. Indeed. most people would be better of physically If milk and entire wheat bread formed their ordinary diet. Especially is this true of delicate persons whose powers of d. gestlon have become enfeebIed. Persons suffering from nervous prOstration are not able to digest meat. and will find a pure ly milk diet of the greatest benent, pro Vided they lmbibe 1t properly.
 What Golf Does for Us.
 One {a st tirnea inclined to ssk uhat is there ln golf to excite such enthusiasm among Its devotees and in what does its charm lie? The answer is that 1t Is pre- eminently the game by which health is promoted and ln which, at any rate If one desires to be proficient, 1t becomes necessary to throw off, certainly for the time being, all business cares, troubles and worries and devote oneself to the matter in hand. Therein do the health giving properties of golf lie. The obesity and degeneration of middle age, when the biceps have diminished and ones energy is failing, may be helped by de- votion to golf. It is preeminently In functional nervous disease that our great Anglo Saxon game Is to be recommend ed. No exercise or recreation Is better fitted for the mentally oVerworked, the hysterical, the melancholic; none so helps to preserve the concerted action of eye, brain and muscle known as the psychological moment. None. perhaps, with the exception of swimming gives one so good sn appetite; there is not 6 more sovereign remedy for dyspepsia. and as to insomnia, such 6 thing scarcely exists among the devotees of golf.

TOURIST YACHT COLLIDES
WITH AN OCEAN STEAMER
Accident Occurred in English Chan.
mel as Result Of Heavy Fog, Pas
seneers and Crew Being Saved.

Dover--The tourist steam yacht
Argonaut, which left London Monday,
bound for Lisbon, with $50 persons.
including passengers and crew, on
board, went down between Dover and
nungenness Tuesday morning, after
having been In collision with the
steamer Kingswell In fog.
All on board the Argonaut took to
the boats and came ashore here In
safety.
The Argonaut sank so quickly that
those on board barely had time to
save themselves. Fortunately, the
sea was smooth and the transfer OF
the passengers and crew to the small
boats was made speedily. There
was no panic. The people on board
the Argonaut lost everything they
possessed.
For an hour the Argonaut's boats
CROPPED about In the fog for the
steamer Kingswell, which they final
ly reached and boarded. Finding that
vessel in a sinking condition, the pas
sengers again took to the boats and
were ultimately picked up by the
steamer Southwood, which brought
them in here.
The Kingswell was beached at Dun
geness TO prevent her sinking.
