Newport News, Va, Sept. H.-With all

latest and most modern of the auxiliaries
Of the navy. slipped from the ways OF

Hampton Roads. sponsored by Miss Lucy
Martin. daughter OF Senator Martin of
this State.
The christening OF the Proteus, the
twenty-second collier in the navy, was
marked by even more than the usual
formality attendants upon the completion
of vessels of this class. because OF Sec
retary Meyers recently announced de-
cision to perfect this branch of the sea
service and the Importance with which
naval officers generally are beginning to
surround the formerly despised supply
ships of the fleet Upon the colliers, un-
armed and unarmored, depends the ef-
ficiency of the big gray fighting ships
which get the credit for victories. and.
realizing this. the Navy Department is
endeavoring to bring the Coaiing vessels
to the highest possible state of perfec-
ton.
The vessel. upon the bow of which

Duck and Trout Fight.
From the Baltimore American.

From the Baltimore American.
As a Virginian was fishing below a
milidam near a village in his State he
accidentally threw his line across a duck.
which suddenly turned around. twisted
the gut about its neck, and fixed the
dropper fly in its breast.
Thus entangled and hooked the duck
soon broke of the gut above the drop
per and sailed down the stream with the
other fly trailing behind 1t. 1t had not
gone far before a trout about a pound
and a half in weight took the fly.
Then began an extraordinary contest.
While the trout struggled the terror of
the duck was very evident; 1t futtered
its wings and dragged the fish. When
the trout grew more quiet the duck gave
way and suffered itself to be drawn under
some bushes at the edge Of the stream.
When the struggle was renewed the
ducks head was frequently drawn under
the water
By chance the gut got across a branch
that hung downward in the water. when
the duck, taking advantage of the pur-
chase that this circumstance gave 1t.
dragged the fish from its hole and obliged
it to show its head above water. Then
It became contest of life and death.
The trout was in last agonies and the
duck in very weak state when the gut
broke. and suffered each to go his own
way.

Daily Apple ns Health Sustafner.

From the Spokane Spokesman Review.
Doctors agree that the ancient adage
that IAN apple a day keeps the doctor
away Is not without some foundation
in fact Fruit acids provide the blood
with needed elements. and these are
specially needed in warm weather. when
the stomach loathes all manner of baked
meats.
Men have a craving for alcohol that Is
so nearly universal that some people
consider 1t the human body's natural
craving for a germicide. The alcohol in
fruits is the valuable germicide that ma
ture intended man to have. This germ-
eide of alcohol is Injurious when taken
in the shape Of intoxicants, but beneficial
when consumed as constituent part OF
fruits.
The case of carbolic acid affords an an
alogy to this of fruit and alcohol No
sane person would think Of drinking car
bolic acid as an agent of health, and
yet the chemical laboratory called the
body secretes minute amounts of car
bolic acid, a fact indicating that 1t Is
a necessity to natures housekeeping.
Eaters of fruit obtain the gerIniCidal
alcohol beneficially because naturally,
whereas drinkers of ardent spirits pro-
cure their alcohol In unnaturally large
quantities and therefore in a highly hurt
full shape.
The daily apple or grape or some other
fruit is as indispensable as the daily
bread. 1t is part of the household
bill of fare that should not be over
looked at any season, and least OF all at
this. Who knows. too, but what the
road from excessive Indulgence in alco-
hoIic stimulants runs from wine or cider
through grape juice and other juices Of
fruits 10 plentiful consumption of the
fruits themselves?

THE POISON IN ABSINTHE.

France consumes more absinthe than
all the rest of Europe together Worse
still, she is consuming more every year
The year 1911 saw an enormous and
quite unprecedented leap of over I,Ool, ,OCc

A commission appointed to study its
effects entirely confirmed the Indictment

ism that "absinthe is the source of mad
ness and crime; 1t causes epilepsy and
consumption: 1t makes the husband a
brute, the wife martyr. and the child

All the same, there are difficulties in
the way of the suppression of the trade

In the words OF NJ CaIllaux, "a wave
from the depths" Is to be feared IL all
the absinthe drinkers Of France-chiefy
recruited from the lower classes-are to
be deprived of their favorite liquor. For
these reasons the government has aban-
doned the idea OF a complete interdiction
OF the sale OF absinthe. 1t has been dis
covered that the principal poison in alb

have the right to produce a LIQUID and
label it absnthe, II need be, SO long as

it will be any less pernicious is at least

Announcement of the complete list of
awards in The Washington Herald s
Sc 600 contest will soon be made by The
Advocate. that dapper little fellow in
colonial dress who made his appearance
upon the streets Of Washington several
weeks ago for the purpose Of giving away
sack of gold.
For the past week The Advocate has
been extremely busy selecting suitable
| awards. Hundreds of catalogues lie scat
tered over his desk at The Herald Office.
He has been perusing these booklets early
and late. He is giving great delibera-
ton to the matter, for he desires to Sc
lect articles which will appeal to all of
the contestants and which will be of
the highest grade and best quality.
Three hundred and fifty awards are to
be made. The Advocate has s25,cc0 to
spend on these articles He said last
night for the twentieth time that he
never realized before how difficult it was
to spend such large sum judiciously.
He has now nearly completed the long
LIST. Many suggestions have been sent
in by competitors, for which The Ad-
vocate is extremely grateful. They have
been Of great assistance to him in Sc
lecting articles With will appeal to the
public as whole.
He will gladly welcome any additional
suggestions which contestants may have
to order. The work is almost over, but
IL the suggestions are sent in imme-
diately they will probably reach him
before he completes the list. He will not
announce the awards until the list is
Fentirely complete. Contestants should
watch the columns of The Herald closely
every day for the appearance of the an
nouncement. II may come this week
or it may come next week or it may
not come out for a month. The duties
of The Advocate are becoming more
numerous each day of the competition
and he is continuously required to devote
less and less time to the matter of
awards.
A few of the principal awards were
announced before the beginning of the
contest. The grand award will be
5000 house and lot in one of Washing
tons residential sections. This will go
to the contestant getting the greatest
number of votes in the entire District,
irrespective of the contest district limita-
tions. The remaining awards will be d.
vided equally among the four contest
districts. There will be four large tour
ing cars valued at S.250 each. In the
district where resides the winner of the
house and lot the automobile will go to
the winner of the second highest number
Of votes in his district
Some other Awards.
Among the other awards will be four
$50 Baby Grand pianos, four s625 player
pianos. four $500 upright pianos, and 333
other articles.
The Advocate last night emphasized
the Importance of contestants reading
every article in The Herald concerning
the competition. A news story is run In
the columns of the paper every day.
Contestants should look daily for this
article and read 1t carefully.
