It is planned to employ a large staff, of experts in hygiene and sanitation to take charge of the exhibit and to deliver lectures on how the various functions of life should be hygienical- ly and sanitarily performed These experts also will be employed in col lecting data on their subject and it is possible the museum may publish a magazine on hygiene and sanitation.
 One of the supplementary sugges- tions of the Surgeon General is that two schools be conducted under the auspices of the proposed museum. One of them would be a school for nurses where the calling of doctors helpers, who, it is declared, are becoming more and more important in the medi- cal world, may be properly and off cially taught. The other school would be one where any person could come for free instruction as to the proper means of warding off plague and pesti- lence. These schools would at least be as complete in their fashion as are the schools at West Point and Annapolic and would have the off cial stamp of the, United States gov eminent upon them.
 The idea~of Surgeon General Blue is becoming very. popular, here in Washington, and if enough support is given it, the Museum of Hygiene and Sanitation will become thing of reality. $sfS a

When this tube is inflamed you have a nmb!lng sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deaf ness is the result, and unless the in- flammation can be taken out and this tube restored to it's normal condt tion, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out if ten are caused by Catarrh (which is nothing but an in- flamei cond. tion of the mucous Suf- faces.

New York, Oct. 14.-Secretary of
the Navy George Won L. Meyer today
reviewed the biggest American fleet
ever assembled and the greatest ever
gathered in any harbor of the world.
There was no delay in getting the
ceremonies under way, for Secretary
Meyer and his aides on the Dolphin
were all ready shortly after o'clock
for the beginning of the days official
events. The various division com.
manders assembled on the flagship
Connecticut with Rear Admiral Oster-
haus for the official visit of Mr.. Mey-
er. They were: Rear Admiral b. A.
Ffske of the first division; Rear Ad-
miral n. r. Usher of the second divi-
sion; Rear Admiral c. Mex Winslow
OF the third division, and Rear Ad-
miral f. f. Fletcher of the fourth di-
vision. Others on board were Captain
Frank X. Hill, chief of staff of the At
lantic fleet, and Rear Admiral A. M.
knight, commander of the Atlantic re-
serve fleet
After the exchange of official visits
came the most interesting part of the
program, so far as Mr.. Meyer was
concerned-inspection of the two new
super-dreadnaughts, Arkansas and
Wyoming. These monsters were the
most powerful ships in line. They
carry such armament that they could
anchor on the ocean side of Long ISL
and and pour their fire over Long ISL
and into New York. They could an
chor in the harbor and drop 500-pound
projectiles into island towns in New
Jersey dozen miles off the coast.
The review of the 12-mile fleet now
began. The Dolphin with Mr.. Meyer,
Rear Admiral Osterhaus and the Off
cial guests began its cruise past the
great men-of-war. Following in the
wake of the Dolphin was the steamer
Hendrix Hudson with the members OF
the citizens committee on board.
No sooner was the review over
than the presidential yacht Mayflower,
upon which President Taft is to re.
view the feet tomorrow as it passes
out to sea- made her appearance with
the president on board, at the head of
the line at Twenty-third street. Ev-
cry ship blazed forth the presidential
salute of 21 guns as the Mayfiower
steamed slowly up the Hudson. Mr..
Meyer and his aides went on board

was hauled down. there were more of

Italian War Renewed.

Paris, Oct. 14-Diplomats were ap-
palled by reports that peace negotia-

Turkey and Italy, and that an Italian
fleet is on its way to attempt the
passage of the Dardanelles. The strait
Is mined and fortified, but it Is recog-
nized that the Italian vessels might
break through and have Constantine
pie at their mercy.
A descent upon European Turkey Is
what the powers have been trying to
prevent ever since the Turko-Italian
war was begun, on account of the
danger OF international complications.
Now the situation is worse than ever.
With an Italian feet In the Sea Of
