Or. WILEY IN CABINET FORGE
Movement In Washington To Have
Him Head New Health
Department.

Washington.-The is a well-de-
fined movement in Washington to re-
move DR.. Wiley from the Chemistry
Bureau, and from all indications it will
be successful
DR.. Wiley will resign, however, only
to enter the chosen circle of the Presi-
dents official family.
The American Medical Association,
together with other powerful interests,
is busily working for the establish
ment of Department of Public
Health. Already DR.. Wiley has been
chosen to head the new department.
The association is confident of pass
ing at the next session of Congress a
bill establishing such department
with "a cabinet officer at it's head It
is believed that the idea of placing the
administration of the Pure Food and
Drugs Act under health department,
with Dr. Wiley as it's head, will help
the cause along.
A health department bill is now
pending in Congress. 1t will live until
March 4, 1913 The father of the bill
is Senator Owen, of Oklahoma, a pro-
gressive Democrat.

Of several species of BIRDS The fever
tick, so injurious to cattle. is the
natural food of the killdeer and the
plover. Corn, cotton and other crops
are destroyed to a large extent by

crops in general suffer greatly from
various insect pests. which are de-
stroyed in vast multitudes by birds.
The greatly dreaded boil weevil is
food for the plover, the killdeer and

GATHERING OF
GREAT NAVAL FORCE
Atlantic and Pacific Fleets to
Mobilize.
126 WARsHIPs IN REVIEW
The Vessels, Which VIII Have Com
b'ned Tonnage Of 6es,s44, viii
Assemble At New York
and Los Angeles.

Washington.-The mobilization of
the Atlantic and Pacific fleets at
New York and Los Angeles october 80
to November will mark the gather
ing of the greatest naval force that
ever floated in the waters of this hemi-
sphere. This probably will be the last
assembling of present-day warships
with the United States of America
standing second in the list of great
maritime powers, for it is certain that
at the rate of development of the ship
building plans of Germany that nation,
within three years at least, will move
up to second place unless Congress
should see fit to authorize each year
additions to the American Navy at
least double those now provided for
by the existing naval program, which
contemplates the construction of but
two battleships yearly.
The Navy Department just made
public the full list of the vessels to be
assembled for the great reviews at
New York and Los Angeles, and while
the number combined does not equal
the 1876 vessels reviewed by the Ger
man Emperor at Kiel last summer,
the 1875 American ships, with their
tremendous displacement of 683,S44
TONS are really more powerful than
the German fleet.
Second Greatest Display.
The Atlantic feet will comprise 102
vessels of all classes, with a total dis
placement of 577,599 tons, and the
Pacific feet, "a vessels of 116,243
tons. The combined fleets will in
clude 80 armored ships, while the Ger
man feet numbered 20. The Ameri-
can battleships will number % and
the armored cruisers 6, while the Ger
man fleet included % battleships and
6 armored cruisers.
France assembled "a battleships and
10 armored cruisers at the Toulon re-
view last summer, but the fleet was
much weaker than Americas will be
in other ships, as the total French dis
play included only 80 ships. OF course,
none of the three countries above
named could compare with England,
which assembled 173 ships at the coro-
nation review at Spit Head, compris
ing so battleships and % armored
cruisers.
