No such thing happened. The out

training facilities are limited the navy has turned
out some of the best men in the boxing world
today.
For example, there are Sailor Burke and Tom
Sharkey, both graduates Of the navy prizefight-
ers, and Sammy Robideau, lightweight champion
of the navy, who is considered one of the best
lghtweights in the country either In or out OF
the navy.
"The constant change in the personnel of the
men," says Paymaster Bovine, mot only means
constant work on the part of the officers to mold
them into shape, but it also means that Uncle
Sam is just SO much richer by every man who
leaves the navy after serving his apprenticeship.
He has just SO many more to call on in case of
necessity, for a man never forgets the A B c Of
the war game once he learns 1t. So for this
reason, as well as because it contributes to the
health and pleasure Of the men, nothing they can
get in the way Of training is thrown away on
them.
and, too, the sailors life is a pleasant one.
There is lots of hard work, to be sure, but there
is plenty to eat, a clean place to sleep and a good
share of recreation. In the matter of athletics,
as well as in other ways, the government does
more for its sailors than any other country.
Where will you find it a matter for active educa-
ton and concern 1t is with us? Certainly not in
the British navy.
THE superiority Of the American sailors in
athletics has been demonstrated often. Our men
are satisfied with nothing but the best. They
want to be expert in whatever they undertake;
therefore they train Systematically and are fur
nished with every facility in the way of equip
ment they need. This is provided for from the
canteen profits. It is arranged that the profits of
the ships stores can be disposed of for this pur-
pose, so the men lack nothing in the way of
paraphernalia that will conduce to their success
in athletics"
"As an illustration of the aptness of the Amer
lean sailor in athletics an officer tells this expe-
rience of his when on the China station. The
ship was stationed at Hongkong and one day a
group OF American sailors tried to induce some
British sailors to join them in a football game.
The latter Dreferred soccer. Finally, however.
the Brtishers agreed; they would play football

WOMEN SHOULD NEVER
USE HARSH PHYSICS

Women are especially susceptible to
constipation and their more delicate
organisms rebel at the violence Of
cathartics and purgatives. Drastic
medicines like salts, mineral waters,
pills and powders may afford tempo
rary relief, but their violent action on
the stomach and bowels tends to up
set the entire system.
A mild laxative is far preferable and
more effective. The combination OF
simple laxative herbs with pepsin pre-
scribed by DR. w. B. Caldwell, and
sold in drug stores under the name Of
Dr.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, is ideal
for women, being gentle in action, pos
tive in effect and pleasant to the
taste. A spoonful of Syrup Pepsin at
night will bring natural relief next
morning and. used regularly for a
brief period, will SO strengthen and
tone the muscles of the stomach and
