THEY GROW
GOOD HUMoR AND CHEERFULNESs FROM
RIGHT FOOD.

Cheerfulness is like sunlight. 1t dispels the
clouds from the mind as sunlight chases away
the shadows Of night.
The good-humored man can pick up and carry
of load that the man with a Crouch wouldn't
attempt to lift.
Anything that interferes with good health is
apt to keep cheerfulness and good humor In the
background. A Washington lady found that
letting coffee alone made things bright for her.
She writes:
-Four years ago was practically given up by
my doctor and was not expected to live long.
My nervous system was IN q bad condition.
But was young and did not want.to die. so
began TO look about for the cause Of my chronic
trouble. used to have nervous spells. which
would exhaust me. and after each spell 1t would
take me days before could sit up In a chair.

employees ON FURlOUGn LIST
TWO HUNDRED AND THIRTY
LAID OFF AT NAVY YARD.
oficials Disinclined to Discuss Situa-
tion-Much Depends Upon
the Action Of Congress.

Two hundred and thirty employees OF the
Washington navy yard were furloughed
yesterday for ninety days each, to begin
today as was yesterday forecasted in
The Star Some of those who were placed
on furlough are inclined to regard the
action as the equivalent Of discharge, es-
pecially in the face of reports that an
other big suspension of the workers may
soon follow.
The officials of the Navy Department
are disinclined to discuss the situation at
the Washington navy yard on the ground
that the statement issued yesterday by
Assistant Secretary Newherry and pub
lished in yesterdays Star told all that can
be said on The subject at this time. 1t was
again explained that the furloughs that
became effective today were due to the
lack of work and could not be averted by
the emergency appropriation of $2GOo.No
for ''armor and armament that amount
not being sufficient, it Is declared, to keep
the falll force employed for the remainder
of the fiscal year. Mr.. Newberry said in
his statement that without that erner-
gency appropriation the department would
have been obliged to discharge at once
about 1900 men at the local yard.
May Be Permanent.
In reply to a direct question. it was
admitted that the furloughs ordered to-
day would be permanent unless Congress
shall make provision for -four or more
battleships during the present session. In
other words, the activity of the gun fac
tory after July next will depend mainly
upon the general naval building program
authorized by the present Congress. II
four or more battleships are authorized
there will be work at the gun factory
sufficient to keep the full force constantly
employed for at least a year, but If a
less number of ships is authorized the
number of guns required will not pro-
vide enough work at the local yard to
maintain the force even at it's present
reduced size, for many months.
1t is said the matter of reductions of
force at the local yard will be given
consideration at a meeting of Columbia
lodge of Machinists. to be held this
evening at its hall on Capitol Hill. 1t
is also said steps will be taken by the
lodge to secure from Congress an ap-
preparation of 100000 to start the con-
struction of the proposed steel foundry
at the yard. 1t was declared by a lead
ing member of the lodge that the erec-
ton of the foundry would be the first
step toward taking the navy yard out
of the grasp of the steel trust" and be-
sides. would save for the government
$4,000 year.
