|DR. KREMER AFFECTIONATELY
IN. 1.-THE COMFORTER"

Back of all his church work and
ommunlty work one principle rules.
1t is the belief expressed by DR.
Kremor that you can bring about re-
forms only by making the individual
good, and unless this is done reform
laws can do little. =,
For years DIR. Kremer has made his
pastoral visits without keeping any
record. One of his church members
said that since the first of the year
he has counted his visits and in eight
weeks he has made more than 400
calls. In the home of the poor or the
down -and-out DIR. Kremer is always
welcome.
Golf Enthusiast
DR.. Kremer is known for other
things than his church work. Golf
enthusiasts have learned to know the
genial doctor, who takes so keen a
delight in a healthy drive. He takes
his exercise In the open season on
the Reservoir golf course. Chess is
another favorite recreation with him,
and there are few he can't defeat at
the game of wits.
For years DR.. Kremer has been coll
lecting Indian relics He has collected
some of the rarest of Indian arrow
heads and utensils from the islands
and shores of the Susquehanna river.
Until he took up golf. he made fire.
quent tramps after relics. 1t was his
chief form of exercise. Much of his
collection he has given away to indi-
viduals or museums. His alma mater,
Franklin and Marshall College, has
received many a valuable specimen
from him.
DIR. Kremer came to this city in
February, 1888. from Bedford. He
had served the church in that place
A he
after he graduated from the Seminary
of the Reformed Church, then located
at Mercersburg, in the Spring OF 1871,
he went to Bedford.
Work of His Kindly Hand
He received his degree of doctor of
divinity from his alma mater fifteen
years ago. He has been active in gen.
eral church work, writing for the
church publications and serving for
years as member of the Board of
Education of the Reformed Church
and the Board of Visitors to the Semi
nary at Lancaster. He is secretary of
the Board of Home Missions and a
member of the board of trustees Of
Bethany Orphanage. DR.. Kremer re-
signed from the Board of Education
and Board of Visitors a year or more
ago because Of the condition of his
health at that time.
Recognition of his work in the gem
eral church was given last year by
members of Old Salem, when they
presented a fund of $1,000 to the
Board of Home Missions for extension
purposes and asked that this fund be
called the DR.. Ellis N. Kremer fund.
DR.. Kremer comes of a family Of
ministers. He was born in Lancaster
while his father was pastor of the
First Reformed Church in that city
and several Of his uncles were in re-
ligious work.
1t does one good to talk to DR..
kremer and have him put his kindly
hand on your shoulder.

YOU'RE BILIOUS AND

Sick headache or sour stomach
means sluggish liver and
bowels
Get q. 1O-cent box NOW

Get 10-cent box now.
Furred Tongue, Bad Taste, Indiges-
ton, Sallow Skin and Miserable Head
aches come from torpid liver and
clogged bowels, which cause your
stomach to become filled with undi-
gested food, which sours and ferments
like garbage in a swill barrel. That's
the first step to untold misery-indi-
gestion, foul gases, bad breath, yellow
skin, mental fears, everything that is
horrible and nauseating. A Cascaret
tonight will give your constipated
bowels a thorough cleansing and
straighten you out by morning. They
work while you sleep-a 10-cent box
from your druggist will keep you
feeling good for months. Millions of
men and women take a Cascaret now
and then to keep their stomach, liver
and bowels regulated, and never know
q miserable moment. Don't forget
the children--their little insides need
q good, gentle cleansing, too.-Adv

NAVY BO0zERS
ARE PROTECTED
BY CONGRESSMAN

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Representa-
tive Hensley Of Missouri, the man who
fights the hardest for a small navy,
fought just as hard to expose the
names of naval officers who are too
fond CT grog, while the navy's rum
mics were just as vigorously defend
ed by Representative Britten, who
comes from the beer garden district of
Chicago. The row occurred in an ex-
ecutive session of a subcommittee of
the naval affairs committee appointed
to report on the Beakes bill to rein
state Capt. Gibbons, U. s. n, who was
"plucked" by the "plucking board
along with IA other vigorous officers
a few weeks ago. 49,. s.-.~ i
1t developed in the hearing at which
Admiral knight of the "plucking
board" was the principal witness, that
there was not a : blot on Capt.
Gibbons record, and that officers
whose official records are spotted
with cases OF drunkenness were pass
ed by the beard and are still in the
navy Whereupon Representative
Hensley demanded that their names
be told and their records unfolded to
the world. Representative Britten
jumped to his feet and protested vio-
lently against what he termed would
be "gratuitous disgrace" He saved
the day for the navy's drinking men,
as a vote on the Hensley proposition
resulted In its defeat <s~..- ..
Admiral Knight said the retirement
Of Capt Gibbons was a distinct loss
TO the navy, and that. the efficiency Of
the navy he'd been marred by the
plucking CT the ether captains on the
list, but that the Jaw had to be COM
piled with and somebody had to be
"plucked."' When the admiral was
asked why the board selected Capt
Gibbons to be retired, he replied:
Because he had only three years at
sea in the last thirteen" -. ..

REWARD FOR
I'LL hHh uIN
HONOR men
At ALCATRAz

Permission has been given by the
war department for the organization
of the first disciplinary company ever
formed on the Pacific coast, at Alca-
traz, and the personnel of the COM
pany will be stationed at old Fort
Point, which now Is in a position to
receive such company, all necessary
remodeling having been accom-.
plished -.
There are in the neighborhood Of
ninety general prisoners at Alcatraz
confined for purely military offenses,
and all of these men will be placed in
the disciplinary company which, how
ever, will be under the command OF
the Alcatraz conmandant The men,
of the disciplinary company viii per-
form nothing save military duty and.
will not be Obliged TO do any hard
labor. When the individual members
of the company show that they mean
to mend their ways they. viii be re.
stored to commands and their SEN
fences RENTED, thus enabling them
to earn honorable discharges at the
expiration OF their enlistments.
The bill for the surrender OF Al
catraz to the immigration service has
been favorably reported by the senate
committee, but the senate has not 80
far acted upon 1t. It seems probable
that there will be no transfer Of the
prison for two or three months, the
military authorities having signifed
their intention Of not precipitating
matters, and all prisoners sent up for
long terms will be transferred to Fort
Leayenworth before Alcatraz Is
turned over to the civilian authori-
ties The Organization Of the discip-
linary company will proceed, how.
ever. without any reference to the
transfer of AlcatraZ.

COL. GEO. BELL
IS AUTHORIZED
To WEAR ASTAR

Colonel George Bell, Jr., command.
ing the Sixteenth Infantry now at FL
Paso. Texas, is now a brigadter-gen-
eral. the senate having confirmed the
presidents nomination made two
months ago. In all probability Gen
eraI Bell will be ordered to Vancou-
yer Barracks, washington, to assume
command of the Seventh Brigade, the
headquarters Of which are in van
couver. " !,
The delay in the confirmation OF the
Bell appointment came through the
fact that he was one OF the junior
colonies and jumped men thirty and
more files his senior. While there
was not one thing against him that
would tend to interfere with his pro-
motion, the resultant jealousy tended
to hold up confirmation. {
General Bell graduated from the
military academy in 1880, and was
detailed as a Second Lieutenant In
the 3rd Infantry. He was an honor
graduate of the infantry and cavalry
school in 1888 and has the distinction
of having served in both the cavalr?
and the infantry, in addition to hav
ing made a record for efficiency In
the inspector-general's department.

from the Sandy look proving
grounds. will be virtually ready for
service on the Panama canal fortifi-
cations.
The carriage for this giant gun is
under construction at the Water
town, Mass, arsenal Ii probably
will be taken back to Sandy Hook
for tests after being mounted and
will not be shipped to Panama be-
fore next spring.

A conception may be obtained Of
the tremendous power OF this gun,
destined to protect the Pacific en-
trance TO the Panama Canal, from the
fact that it is so feet long, weighs
l42 tons and fires projectile about
six feet long. The projectile weighs
a ton and is discharged by 665 pounds
of powder. 1t requires eight men to
carry the powder charge.
This gun has maximum range or
from % to 20 miles, or half the dis
lance between New York city and
West Point. The elevation permitted
by it's carriage will enable the gun
to fire a projectile about IL miles
across the Pacific ocean. II has SUI
ficient power, theoretically, TO- pierce
two feet of the best armor at the
muzzle. At IL miles the gun Is cal
culated to pierce 12-inch armor
plate, or any side armor afioat.
Velocity 225O Feet a Second.
When shell leaves the gun 1t Is
revolving around its axis at about
1000 revolutions a minute and deVel-
obs a pressure of $4,000 pounds to
the square inch. The pressure to the
rear of the gun and forward on
the projectile amounts TO 100000
pounds. The projeetile's velocity OF
225O feet second gives muzzle en-
ergy of more than $4,000 foot tons
that is, an energy capable OF raising
AZ tons one foot every second.
Army ordnance officers believe TINS
gun will be a tremendous instrument
of peace when it is in position on the
Panama canal.
