Taking Tonics, and Built Up on

The mistake is frequently made OF
trying TO build up a worn-out nervous
system on so-called tonics-drugs.
New material from which to rebuild
wasted nerve cells is what should be
supplied. and this can be obtained
only from proper food.

and white lights, and there is the electric torch
for unofficial messages.
The American navy has been the most sue
cessful military organization, from its very incep
ton, which the world has ever seen. That is a
pretty broad statement, but II is absolutely true.
There are good reasons for this.
In the early days we were a commercial people.
We were natural sailormen. Our people lived
along the shores. They made their money In
commercial pursuits. The men who commanded
merchant ships we're not only good sailors; they
we're good merchants, and the foundations for
many. of the great fortunes of this country have
come from that source. In order TO protect them
selves they were Obliged to go armed Their
ships were armed as were privateers In time OF
war. The result is that they not only knew navi-
CATION, but they knew gunnery, and combined
with these qualities the intelligence which makes
great merchants.
Naturally, when those men came into positions
where they commanded men-ofwar, they were
equal to the occasion, although they had had no
naval training. AS time went on they acquired a
naval training. that in the later wars, In the
early part OF the nineteenth century they met
every requirement. and In the recent wars the
graduates OF the Naval academy have been equal
to every duty which has been imposed upon
them. They have made record OF which every
American citizen should be proud.
The American saiorman has always been en-
Client They we're good men in the time OF the
Revolution; competent men In the time OF the
war of 1912. They are better men today than they
were In those days, because today 95 per cent OF
them are American citizens. and not man is
shipped in the American navy who has not de-
clared his intention 70 become a citizen Twenty
nve years ago not more than 30 per cent. OF our
men-of-war's men were American citizens.
The American navy has been successful be-
cause ships have always been as good ships
as any that were built in the world. Our merchant
men. in the Revolutionary times, and down TO
the Civil war, were the best merchant ships sail
ing the seas They were, doubt, the best
manned and they made the fastest time, During
the period OF wooden ships, when We built men
ofwar they we're Of the same general character.
Our Inenof-war. gun for gun, were equal to, and
probably superior, to those OF any other nation.
We have always been able TO shoot better than
most people. Go back to the early times. to the
revolutionary war. We lost "a men -ofwar. carry
ing less than 500 guns. in the Revolutionary war.
while the British lost l02 men-of-war, carrying
more than $500 guns. We captured 800 of their
