oGd as the Hills, Ussd In All Countries and Never Alter.
 In the American and English navies, as well as in the merchant marines, are found nicknames that have been in use since before men dreamed that there was land on the other side of the western ocean. Tradition, most Inflexible of all rules, governs them, and they never alter, whether the ship clears from the Golden Gate or from London docks. Some of the nicknames are of obvious origin; others seem to gain force by their apparent lack of reason.
 For instance, why should all men named Wright be called "ShinerT' Clark is invariably Hobby" Green is Jimmy" and a White is "Knock- err "SpHd" Murphy explains itself, as does Dusty Miller. Lofty" and Shorty do not need to present cards to their mates when they sign on. and it is not worth while for the bru- nette sailor to resent it when a friend Iy chap halls him as "Nigger." He can't whip the entire crew. one after the other.
 The rigid forms of the quarterback do not hold during the watch below, and the captain is the Skipper" and the first lieutenant is familiarly "Jim- my the One" On fighting ships the gnnnery lieutenant is "Gunnery Jack" or, more briefly, Guns" the tor pedo lieutenant Torpedo Jack" or "Sparks'' and the navigating officer '"The Navy" .-........ ......

Gases in Stomach
 Poison the Blood

Gas forms in your stomach because the food you eat ferments and turns sour.
 Allow this fermentation to go on and these gases become poisonous and the poison gets into the blood.
 MONA stomach tablets stop the fermentation almost instantly, turn the poisonous gases into liquid, and eliminate the poison mostly through the kidneys.
 If you have any stomach trouble, such as gas, sourness, heaviness, fatulency, or shortness of breath, MONA will give gratifying relief in five minutes.
