And if so, what doe: it do to the stomach?"
 Yes, the same kind of catarrh that one has in the nose, the same kind of catarrh that affects the cavities of the head, the same kind of catarrh to which the throat is subject, may af- feet the mucous membranes of the stomach.
 As l told you in previous articles, the stomach is lined with mucous membrane. So is the nose and the throat. Whenever there is a mucous membrane there is liability to ca tarrh. Catarrh is essentially dis ease of the mucous membrane.
 Pe-ru.na Removes tie Cause.
 It is perfectly useless to take ar tificial digestants or to take dyspep- sia remedies. What is needed is a catarrh remedy.
 Pe-ru-na is not only a catarrh remedy but is digestant. There fore, Pe-ru-na will not only tempo rarily assist the stomach in it's func- tion and thus give prompt relief, but it tends also towards eradicating the catarrh. The cause of most cases of dyspepsia, heart burn, sour ris- ing, full feeling after meals, coated tongue, constipation, the cause of most cases of this sort is catarrh of the stomach.

SACRIFICE SPEED
 FOR DURABILITY Uncle Sam's New Dread. naught Will Fight,
 Not Run. BIDS ARE ADVERTISED Pennsy Iyania Will Supersede the Ark. ansas-New Monster Will
 Cost $l0 OOO,OOO
BIDS ARE ADVERTISED
(By SIDNEY ESPEY)

Washington, Jan. 1S-Uncle Sam has at last come to the conclusion that superior speed for dreadnaughts is not requis te in increasing the efficiency of our battleshirs or of the effec iveness of the big war vessels in actual war conditions. According to the naval general board the main advantage of speed is the ab lity to get out of range of an enemy's guns and ttn neNc advantage of speed is the ability 10 force action or to over- take an enemy running away.
 The United States Congress how ever is of different opinion for it has recently authorized the Navy Departments to let contracts for the b ggest battleshio afloat anywhere in the World. It is the dreadnaught Pennsylvania and when completed will have cost the taxpayers of the United States $1O,O00.oO0 Secretary of the Navy Meyer has already ad' vertised for bids and in February, it is expected that the name or names of the successful shipbuilding com. pan es who will get the contract to build the steel monster will be an nounced.
 While the Navy is not averse to having under it's control vessel of the Pennsylvania's size, it does not feel elatel that Congress authorized. the building of the essel for it's knock ed the Departments recomendat on of two battleships year into cooked hat. A consistent policy of building two dreadnaughts each year for a period of ten yearsrepresen'ing an expenditure for latest design vessels of approximately $14 100000 a year, was urged by the Department. Congress however, acting upon the fict tious resolution of Ben Tillman of South Carolina 0 ''build a terror of the seas" upset the well laid plans of the Department. It wts. put through Congress as a compromise in order to lesson or rather econo mize in appropriating for ',he unkeep of the navy
 While the Pennsylvania is des gned to be su2erior to everything owned by other naval powers in speed armament, etc., the General Board of the Navy announces that speed is not the great requisite in battleships. For that reason the Arkansas, now the largest battleship afloat in the United States Navy and a represen- tajive type of foreign vessels of her class will be equal in effectiveness to the Pennsylvania.
 It is shown by the Boards statistics that fifteen years ago the range or battle occureI at 2y000 yards It was necessary then to construct vessels ol superior speed for if the enemy was able to show a clean pair of heels, the effect veness of the guns of the exponent was mullifed. NOW, however battles are foughi at rang2 of 10000 yards and over or distance of between six and seven miles, IT the Pennsylvania can show a speed of twenty three knots an hour which is about three knots an hour more than the best first class battleshio can develope, it is inconce veable 10 the General Board as to what benefit could be attained by having he larg- CT vessel superior in the matter of
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1913-01-19

speed except from a sentimental standpoint.
 It is shown that the large vessels can sustain a max mum speed only for about ten hours owing to the great vibration and the enormous strain on the furnace crew. Besides it is pointed out that the effective ness of the larger or speedier vessel is reduced. The penalty to be pa d for high speed is the additional weight of the hull necessary to pro- vide vessel of the length and form to enable it to be driven at the high est speed and the dim mutton of the armcr thickness or the restriction of the proportion of the area of the ship protected by armor resulting from the general length to be protected.
 To develope a speed of about twen- ty-three knots an hour, Naval Con- struc,or ID. w. Taylor says that a vessel 500 feet long would be necces- sary In 300 foot vessel, he states that it would be doubtful if space could be provided for the machinery necessar to attain such speed as horse power.
 Assuming Constructor Taylor says "that it would be possible to get 70,000 horse power into each vessel, the weight of the machine ry would be approximately the same, re- gardless of the length of the vessel; but 10 build a 30,O00 ton vessel 800 feet long would take very much greater weight of hull than to build a 30,000 ton vessel 300 feet long. This addit onal weight of hull would have to come from he armour or arma- ment, the 3Oy0O0 ton of displacement being fixed Moreover the thickness of armor protection for a given weight which could be placed on an 500 foot vessel would be very much less than for the same weight appli- ed 70 a 300 foot vessel"
 Constructor Taylor crit .cized Euro pean constructors in building the battle cruiser, a vessel of the Penn sylvania type, built for speed and range although not effectively pro- tected by heavy armour belts such as are the present day American battle ships. Ther length is materially greater than the battlefships, but their protection is so slight that against modern guns they are practi- cally on a par with the old protected cru sers. They carry guns as heavy as the batleships.
 It is presumed therefore that the Nevy Department ill producing the best features of battleShip construc- tion is the Pennsylvania will not better averages in its speed test than the Arkansas made on her speed trial but will concentrate it's efforts in making the ship able 70 withstand the heaviest of gun firing and produce a larger range for it's own guns. It will be used no doubt as the flagship of the Nortl Atlantic Squadron and n
 time of ba tie will be expected to bear the brunt of the engagements.
