A Little Sound Advice VIII Help
Many a Sufferer in Annapolis

No woman should consider herself
healthy and we'll il the kidneys are
weak. Poisons that pass off in the
secretions when the kidneys are well,
are retained in the body when the kid
neys are disordered. III the kidneys
and bladder become inflamed and swol-
len worse troubles may quickly follow.
This is often the cause of bearing
down pains, lameness, backache-etc.
Uric poisoning is also frequent cause
of headaches, dizzy spells, languor,
ner vousness and rheumatic pain.
When suffering so, try Doan's Kid
ney Pills, a remedy that has proven
effective in thousands of such cases.
Let an Annapolis woman tell Of her
experience.
Mrs. Laura Armiger, Is Jefferson

neys were in bad shape andI had back
aches and headaches. | was also dizzy

ECHO OF NAVY BASKETBALL.
How q Washington Writer DOpes Out
the Many Victories Scored by the
Middies.

A spor ting writer of the Wash

day, Sunday, has the following to say
of basketball! at the Naval Academy :
lone reason why basketball teams
come away from the Naval Academy
defeated is due to the fact that the
playing floor has no give 20 it. A
stone floor covered with wood gives
the middies a great advantage over
the opposing fives as their center is
beaten in nearly every instance on
the jump.
Playing on this floor for three
years, McReavy has become aceus-
toned to it, and for that reason he
gets the jump on all opposing centers.
After the game against Navy,
Foley, one of the guards of the
Georgetown quint, said that the Navy
players knew every soft spot on the
floor, but in the many times that he
made connection with the floor he
did not run across any OF them.
Never playing or any other court,
the Navy players have become ac-
customed to all of the lights in the
gymnasium, and have the banks down
to q science. With such an aid as
this, il is no wonder that all of tire
teams come out of the game with the
short end Of the score registered
against them.
In the game against Georgetown,
McReavy, the big center, was IN
every play during the first half. The
middies have been trained to the min

UNcLESAM THE WORLDS PRINTER
Printing 1900 Stamps a fiiuufe-
Interesting Printing Plant.

1t is fact not generally known
that the United States has at Wash
ingtun one of the largest and best
equipped printing plants 10 this or
any other country. Uncle Sam may
be safely said to hold the worlds rec
ord as a pTinter--not only in size of
plant, number Of employees and ex-
tent of output, but also IN up-to-date
scientific manageme Mt, efficiency and
economy.
An intere sting example Of what
this sort of modern efficiency means is
q machine which prints, gums and
perforates 10000 postage stamps a
minute Figuring on an eight-hour
day, this is production of $3.50,
600 2-cent stamps, worth S1l5, 200,
as days work for the two opera
tors required on the machine. The
stamps are shot out--there is no other
way to express it--at the rate Of 40
feet minute. This means over six
miles of postage stamps a day.
The machine eliminates nineteen
separate operations required by the
previous method of printing and has
effected saving Of 81 per cent in
cost The whole apparatus, which is
three feet wide, twenty-five Ieet
long and seven feet high, is driven by
a Wheeler motor. One man
and girl are able to operate the en-
tire machine and the perforating de-
vice connected with it.
Mr. D. r. Stickney, mechanical ex-
pert or the United States Bureau of
Printing AMI Engraving, is the inven-
tor who developed the machine for
the special use of the Government

This promises to be feature OF the

and sugar may go on the free list. An
income tax to make up for thv loss OF
revenue from the tariff on meats and
sugar will soon come into existence
as result of the ratification of the
income tax amendment to the con-
stitution by the necessary three
fourths of the states.
This program should spell some re-
duction in the cost of living. The

A square-built house plastered on
the outside is shown in this design. In
many sections of the country these
houses are becoming very popular.
This type of construction dates back
hundreds Of years; but it has re-
Gently been revived because we have
found out how to use cement to atl
vantage in work of this kind. The
modern outside cement plaster coat
bears but little relation to the old
English rough-coat, which used to peel
off in Irregular patches. spelling the
appearance of the house forever.
One thing that has had a great deal
to do with putting modern cement
plaster work on substantial and sat
isfactory basis, was the invention of
metal lath made of expanded sheet
steel or woven wire fabric. Until
cement mortar was troweled onto and
into metal lath 1t was impossible to
provide against expansion and con-
traction. 1t is difficult even now to
explain why cement plaster on good
metal lath will dry and hang free of
cracks, when the same mixture spread
on wooden lath will spider-leg in every
direction. But probably the why is
not SO important as the fact that we
have only lately come to practical un-
derstanding of effective methods of
using cement. Human knowledge
comes very slowly. We often hear
some one say that the Romans knew
as much about cement as we do; but
that is nonsense. They knew how to
make a cistern or a tank. or line an
aqueduct. how to plaster walls and
even make poured walls and founda.
tions and how to build concrete road
beds that endure to this day. but we
know more than they did about the
