PROTEST AGAINST USING
REC|PROCAT|NG ENGINES
Decision Regarding Motive
Power of the Texas May ;
Be Rec0nSidered.

After having accepted the proposal of
the Newport News Shipbuilding Company
for the construction of the new battle
ship Texas. equipped with reciprocating
engines, the Navy Department has been
obliged to reconsider It's decision as to
the motive power of the ships.
Energetic protests by builders of tur-
bine engines against what they declare
to be the reactionary and non-progress-
i've policy Of the constructors and en-
gineers have troubled the members Of the
general board. and finally have deter
mined the department officials to con-
slider the subject further before reaching
a final decision.
So far the Newport News Company
has not been notified Of any change in
the department. plans. but as months
must elapse before the work of engine
construction actually begins, there is still
time to change the decision already
recorded il it should be found proper SO
to do.
Decision of Engineers.
Reciprocating engines were selected for
the Texas and for her sister ship. the
New York, on the almost unanimous
decision of the engineer oMicers of the
Navy Department One reason for this
apparent retrogression In marine mechan-
les was the alleged superior economy OF
the reciprocating engine for medium
cruising speeds, which represents 80 per
cent of the work.
1t is admitted however, that the tur-
bines are better and more economical
at higher speeds: that more can be
gotten out of the ship in an emer-
gency with that type Of machinery.
1t Is possible to repair rectprocating
engines at almost any naval station.
and even aboard ship. whereas the-tur-
bines must be repaired by their makers
in their own yards. That would be a
serious consideration in the case Of
ships on distant foreign stations. FL
nally it is held that the familiarity Of
the ordinary marine engineer with re-
ciprocating engines causes them to be
generally preferred.
Argument for Turbines.
The turbine makers, on the other
hand. contend that the fact that every
maritime power has abandoned the re-
ciprocatinE engines in favor of the tur-
bines is proof positive of the superior
ity of the latter type. It is further as
serted that the reciprocating engine
that it is not possible to construct
that type for marine uses than are

Nuisance in Homes and Stores.

According to the department. the ant

try during the New Orleans cotton ex.
position in 1884. The ants spread through
the city. proved a great nuisance to the
stores and houses. and once swarmed
into the houses to such an extent, &C.
cording to the department, that it was
dangerous to let babies go to sleep in
their cradles because the ants would get
into their eyes and travel all over them,
and at Baton Rouge they were particular
ly dangerous and troublesome"
California authorities who are collabo-
rating with the department have consid-
cred a trapping process that they think
favorably of and in Louisiana flooding
may control.

now installed in battleships Of the Del
aware class, where $4,000 horsepower
is divided between two engines and
two shafts.
Altogether there Is every indication
that the old war between the recipro-
eating and turbine engine advocates
and it would not be surprising If, after
all. Congress should have to relieve
the Navy Department Of the RESPONSE
bility of making choice between
them.

weeks from tomorrow will vote sepa-
rately on the senatorship.
The meeting tomorrow night is in re-
Spouse to a request by republican men,
bers of the legislature. The address will
be Senator Lodges sole reply to numer-
GUS attacks, especially those of Gov
elect Eugene n. Foss, a former republic
can. who two days later will be indicted
into Office. and who has declared from
numerous stumps that the reelection of
Mr.. Lodge Is impossible.
Democrats to Caucus.
While Senator Lodge is addressing the
majority of the republican members OF
the legislature the democrats Of the
house will hold a caucus at the state
house for the purpose of selecting a can
didate for Speaker and perhaps to plan
a legislative campaign that may include
the senatorship. The opposition to Sena-
tor Lodge inside his party has not as yet
agreed on any candidate. Representative
Butler AmeS of the fifth congressional
district is the only other avowed repub-
lican candidate.
Several democrats have been ''men-
toned" including Gov. Foss and former
Representative John X. Thayer of Wor-
ceSter.

A CONDENSED STORY THAT IS true and
SHOULD BE READ IN EVERY HOME
How Father Johns Medicine
Got Its Name.
Facts Guaranteed By S25,O00.0O Offer
To Prove Truth.
Endorsed By Physicians. Hospitals and Clergy.
Cures Colds, and HI Throat and
Lung troubles.

Before you start reading this we
want you to know that the truth of
the facts stated is guaranteed by the
offer to give $4,000. to any charitable
institution, if it can be shown other
wise. This story has to do with a
reverend clergyman, known and loved
by all people of all classes and creeds
in Lowell, Mass. whose life was saved
by doctors prescription. which
afterward bore his name.
Rev. FIR. John O'Brien. who was in
charge OF ST Patrick's Parish in Low
ell. Mass. beginning in 1898, was an ex-
tremely energetic and able clergyman.
Already run down from overwork. Fa-
Their John was attacked with serious
cold which developed into a throat
and lung affection and a stubborn
cough, causing great alarm for the
clergyman health. An eminent spe-
cialist gave him prescription which
was compounded on June 0. 1855. at
the old drug store of Carleton &,
Hovey in Lowell. Mass. the oldest
drug store in the city. The medicine
prepared from this prescription ac-
complished splendid results; the cough
disappeared and as he continued to
take the medicine. Father John's
whole system was built up and he
was soon restored to his normal
health. Then he began recommend
ing the medicine to those of his par

ishioners who were afflicted in the
same way as he had been. More and
more people began to call at the old
drug store asking for the medicine
that Father John recommended. They
naturally called it Father Johns
Medicine and so it became known in
ever-increasing numbers as a family
remedy OF established value. The
growth OF the medicine during the
last fifty years has been gradual and
unceasing and today it is known as a
family remedy of proven worth in
thousands of homes from one end of
the country to the other

that she would take limited number
of cats to board at a fair rate Of pay
ment. Within a few days she had her
accommodations taxed to their full ca
pacity and remuneration was sufficient
10 justify her in plans for a well equipped
cat house. which she will build in a
few months.
Since ii is the stray and uncared-for
cats which are menace to the health
of the community. there seems no doubt
but that some restriction in regard TO
the number of cats permitted To roam
al large would be both humane and bene-
fetal to the public. If cats were licensed
as dogs are they would receive more
care, for people naturally set greater
value upon something for which they
pay a price. If the stray cats of the
city could be painlessly put to death and
the cats having regular owners could re-
ceive the same attention as is given to
dogs, the agitation against the cat as
a menace to public health would soon
cease.
