Midshipmen May Early Become Ensigns

F congress acts f~avorably on a
L recommendation made by the board
of visitors to the United States Naval
academy and Endorsed by the secre-
tary of the navy, a young man whO
has completed the course at the acade-
my will be commissioned an ensign on
graduation. Under the present law a
graduate does not get his commission
rs an ensign until he has completed
the two years cruise at sea. This law,
it is asserted, discrim1nates against
the graduates Of the Naval academy.
A graduate from the Military academy
at West Point gets his commission as
a second lieutenant on the day Of grad
uation, and a salary, which a graduate
of he Naval academy cannot obtain
until he has taken his two years
cruise.
Midshipmen receive $500 a year
while at the. Naval academy, under the
new pay table, and during the two
eJEars~they spend at sea they receive
$1,400 annually. Not until they have
passed their final graduation-that is
to say, not until they have completed
their two years cruise can they get
the $1,70O which is paid to graduates
from West Point to become second
~lieutenants and rank with e~nsigns.

my has been urged to favor another

change in the regulations Of the
school, but it has not yet consented
to do SO. This change, If granted,
would raise the bar which now pre-
vents a midshipman from marrying I'M
til he has completed his two years
cruise, or in other words, has obtained
his commission as ensign.
The prohibition against marrying
until final graduation is based on the
assumption that the midshipman is
not receiving salary enough to enable
him to support a wife. The plea is
made that this regulation discrimi-
mates against the midshipmen. There
is no bar to a graduate of West Point
marrying as o o as he receives his
commission as second lieutenant.
The board Of visitors to the Naval
academy hopes to be able to persuade
President Taft to recommend in his
December message to congress that
midshipmen be made ensigns on the
day of graduation.

Uncle Sam Fights to Save the Salmon

ticular about holding to the average,
as some Of them had exceeded 1t mate
rally, nor did they bear out the theory
well known to every fisherman that
the bait is first turned by the fish and
swallowed head foremost. The blobs,
it seems, eat them both ways.
The destructive average of the blob
Is estimated at six salmon a day,
which is maintained for about sixty
days a year. This would make the de-
structive capacity Of one fish total $50
salmon annually, to say nothing of the
little trout gathered in and sometimes
little blobs. The latter kind of feed
ing, however, meets with the approval
of the fish experts.
Blobs in general are bottom fish and
prefer to remain hidden under stones.
etc. 1t is just in similar places that
young salmon and trout hide at Ger
tain hours Of the day, usually when
the sun Is hottest. 1t IL then that the
blobs can get them with the least diff.
f1culty. For this reason, it Is believed,
the stomach contents of each Of the
blobs examined represented one days
feeding and that under proper condi.
tons (when the salmon eggs OF young
salmon are available) the same
amount would be eaten each day.

SCIENCE OF HEALTH

But this is a somewhat utopian view.
The prospects, SO far as present knowl-

constantly and become their hosts in
various other ways. We never know
when we will be invaded by frightful

so-called blood-poisoning). l would as

tuberculosis as 1 would one. If I were
lot safe against a million l wouldn't be
safe against one; and one would do the
job as we'll as a million. A few million

BABY'S HAIR ALL CAME OUT

when my first baby was six month
old he broke out on his head with little
bumps. They would dry up and leave
a scale. Then 1t would break out
again and it spread all over his head
All the hair came out and his head
was scaly all over. Then his face
broke out all over in red bumps and
it kept spreading until it was on his
hands and arms. l bought several
boxes of ointment, gave him blood
medicine, and had two doctors to treat
him, but he got worse all the time.
He had 1t about six months when q
friend told me about Cuticura. l sent
and got a bottle Of Cuticura Resolvent,
a cake of Cuticura Soap and a box Of
Cuticura Ointment. In three days
after using them he began to i'm
prove. He began to take long maps
Ind to stop scratching his head. After
ing two bottles of Resolvent, two
Ies of Ointment and three cakes OF
Soap he was sound and we'll, and never
had any breaking out Of any kind. His
hair came out in little curls all over
his head. 1 don't think anything else
would have cured him except Cuti-
cura.
Il have bought Cuticura Ointment
and CuticUra Soap several times since
to use for cuts and sores and have
never known them to fail to cure what

Discoveries of a Russian Savant

Gle Of nourishment in a barrel of them.
They act like whisky. They stimulate.
But that is all.
The medical tradition that large
quantities of fuid-water Or other
taken at meals 'dilutes" the gastric
juice, and therefore interferes with di.
g~estion, is absolutely wrong The
stomach -compensates the extra liquid
by increasing the flow of the juice in
sufficient quantity to keep 1t up to
standard digestive power.
When the stomach is more than nor
mally acid, the administration of aka
line solutions-such as soda-produces
no effect. The a~lkalinity. is compen-
stated by increased acidity.
When the gastric juice, on the %
trary, is not as acid as it should be the
administration of alkaline remedies"
on the theory that the stomach will
produce acid to compensate the alkalin-
ity-is in vain again. In a deficiency
of acid in the stomach-called techni-
cally 'hypochloridia" alkaline re-
agents do not increase the flow Of the
acid. What a mystery there is here!
Since Beaumont's time it has been
held hat the presence in the stomach
Of any indigestible body-such as a
blackstone or a silver dollar-will pro-
duce a free flow Of the gastric Juice.
PawlOw has shown repeatedly that this
ancient belief is wholly wrong. You
can batter the walls Of the stomach

duce n drop of gastric juice. Paw
low did it with sand!

In congratulating ourselves on he
wonderful achievements of modern
science it would be we'll now and then
to pause and figure the immense
waste Of life, wealth, comfort and hap
piness occasioned by the stupidity or
the deliberate greed of men, in spite
of the rapid progress of scientific dis
covery itself.
To illustrate this point let US con-
slider one respondent example. Let us
take a 1ashlight of the work Of Paw
low-it is pronounced PavlOv, or Pah-
lif-the celebrated physiliogist Of st.
Petersburg, who, in the dozen years
last past, has discovered more useful
and Illuminating = facts about the
stomach, and about the process Of d.
gestion in general, than were upturned
by all the investigators before him,
from the ancient Greeks down.
When we study the work of Pawlow
we marvel at the ingenuity Of this
wonderful Russian, and when we have
stated ourselves m~Grveling at Pawlow,
we begin to marvel at the monstrous
criminality of human society in permit
ting the work of Pawlow and common
medical methods of treating the stom-
ach to exist side by side at one and
the same time.
Thousands Of medical doctors| do
not say in Europe, but most certainly
in America-are treating the stomach
with the same old drugs. on the same
old theories, that were used by their
predecessors Of fifty or sixty years
ago.
In those old days they had a mass OF
traditions about the stomach that had
been gathered together by a physician
of the good old school-good old Beau
mont, who made observations of the
stomach of one Alexis st. Martin, a
veteran of the War Of 1912, by means
of an unhealed 1stula, OF hole, in the
wall of the stomach, left by the pass
ing of a bullet. From that time until
Pawlow-with the possible exception
of the German Heidenhein-the sci
ence Of Europe made no progress in
the study of the stomach.
Pawlow came and shattered the an
cient traditions. He proved beyond the
possibility of question that the old no
tons, the old beliefs. we're wrong. He
did it openly before the assembled
faculty of Europe in the University
of st. Petersburg; and he published
his results in the journals and in the
form of a book.
Here are a few of the things which
Pawlow proved, and possibly my read
ers, as we'll as the average medica
man, will be disposed to question thu
reliability of the great Russians work

clue to the reason of Fridays ILL
name for being unlucky. He had a
task to fulfill that he had performed
with praiseworthy monotony every
day for-well, toe many years to be
critically noted, and yesterday he for
got it. When he came to think of it
he had forgotten it on two former oc-
casions, and both days Of omission
were Fridays. Why was it? He put
it down to what he registered in his
mind as Friday Fag-that is, the &C
cumulated tiredness CT a weeks in
dusty. Friday is always the day
when you forgot things-if you do
forget things. It is often the one
smirch on a blameless week. That's
why it's unlucky.-London Chronicle
