ANOTHER PERSONNEL BILL.

The Navy league Of the United States
is working earnestly to secure the pas
sage by congress Of the personnel bill
now before it, a bill which has for it's
purpose a change in the system Of
promotion so as to insure that officers
may reach command rank and flag
rank at earlier ages than they do at
present.
The objects to be accomplished are
certainly desirable, whether the present
bill is the a remedy to apply to the
condition or not. Promotion in the
navy is rigid and inelastic. 1t all goes
by straight seniority. The youngest
man in his class at the naval academy
Is certain-if he remains in the service
n behaves himself so that he is not
reduced for misconduct-to reach the
highest and retain it longer than
any other member of his class, regard
less Of his qualifications.
In the ordinary course Of events no
man in the navy can expect TO get the
command of any ship until we'll past
SO. He will be about so when he be-
comes q ear admiral, and then he will
retire at 62.
1t may be stated as an axiom that
an educated naval officer is fully ripe
for command rank by the time he
reaches 80 or So. Every year thereafter
tends rather to decrease than to in
crease his qualifications for command.
A man who remains a subaltern, ex-
ercising no initiative, until N advanc-
ed middle life. is hardly likely to as
sumo the sudden burden Of responsible
tiles which comes with such rank as
well as he could have done at an earlier
age.
The bill proposes the compulsory re-
tirement Of a large number Of officers
from time to time in the grades below
rear admiral. 1t is a measure which,
if it passes. will create much heart
burning and on occasional Injustice in
its application; but no other remedy
for the situation seems in sight or has
been suggested, and the situation re-
quires some remedy.

INDIGESTION
AND
PEOPLE WITH GOOD DIGESTION
DO NOT HAVE RHEU-
MATISM,

The blood is the product of diges-
ton. Whatever sort Of food is di-
gested in the stomach is absorbed
into the blood. If the food is badly
digested this is also absorbed into
the blood. II the food soUrs in the
stomach before digestion or during
digestion, the acids are absorbed into
the blood.
These acids in the blood produce
a condition known as rheumatism.
The acids are liable to produce mi
c~roscopic crystals. These crystals
are deposited in the ligaments and
carriages, causing rheumatism Of
the joints. Sometimes in the bones,
producing periodic pains every time
the muscles, producing lumbago, stiff
neck, myalgia and muscular rheu-
matism generally.
Ps-ru-na Correets Digestion.
The reason that Pe-ru-na relieves
Pe-ru-na corrects digestion. Peru
ma corrects digestion partly by hur-
rying it. Pe-ru-na does not furnish
any artificial ~digestant, it simply as
sists Nature in doing it's own digest
ing.
In this way the products Of diges-
ton are more normal. The blood is
not filled with im~perfectly digested
food. No acids accumulate in the
stomach while Pe-ru-na is being
taken. Thus rheumatism Is pre-
vented.
1t is a great deal better to prevent
a disease than to try to cure 1t. But
even after rheumatism has begun the
condition hat caused it ought to be
removed II possible.
Good Digestion Stops rheumatism.
The first thing to do is to secure
good digestion, then if it is necessary
specific medicines for rheumatism
may be taken. But. until the diges-
ton Is made perfect it is of little or
no use to take medicines for rheu-
matism. To produce good digestion
Pe-ru-na should be taken.

RAILROAD EARNINGS INCREASE

Recent gains in railroad earnings
are indicative Of the prosperous con-
dition of the country. Scarcity of
equipment which had been permitted
to run down, following the panic of
1907 doubtless prevented larger in
creases.
The report of the Interstate com
merCe commission for the month of
November covering over 22o, 600 miles
Of railroad shows an increase in net
operating expenses as compared with
the same month Of last year Of over
$4,000, 600.
= Large Orders for equipment are yet
unified and later on it will be impos-
siblc to handle a greater tonnage dur
ing the buster season. Except for a
panic of which there is not the least
sign at present or some other extra
ordinary condition, no recession OF
business below the present level seems
likely.
The great lines that run through or
enter North Dakota are all especially
prosperous and will add greatly to
their mileage n equipment during
the present season. This promises
to be a busy season in every line
throughout the state. Great construc-
ton schemes are under way, in city,
town and country and there should be
employment for every North Dakota
laborer, skilled and unskilled, and
thousands from other sections of the
country as we'll.

DRAFTING Avs PROPERLY.

There is a serious proposal before
the New York legislature, which should
commend itself to the legislature Of
this n of other states, to secure the
services of experts to draft in good
English the ideas for statutes formu-
lated by members Of the legislature, the
drafting, of course, to be in such form
that the laws. when passed, will stand
constitutional tests in the courts.
1t is estimated that the legislatures
which will sit this year will pass col
lectively something like 10000 new
laws. The great majority of these laws.
il the presidents OF the past are fol-
lowed, will be loosely and crudely
drawn, in language which fails clearly
to express their probable purpose, and
the exact meaning and effect
Of many Of the laws will
not be known ~conclusively until
the courts place interpretations upon
them
In Great Britain, the parliament of
which passes fewer laws than the av-
erage American legislature, there are
lawyers whose practice is conRned to-
the drafting Of bills proposed to be
submitted to parliament. Government
bills. which make up the great ilajori-
ty of the measures which pass into
laws. are drafted under the direction
Of the attorney general and the solic-
itor general after their general pur-
pose has been agreed pon The Eng
Iisll laws are therefore. as a uniform
rule, expressed in clear and luci1 Eng
llsh. The legal phraseology, when US
ed, requires no interpretatian by the
courts.
