fed from Scotland because of my pres

died by Command That Was
Entirely New to Him.

In all the naval services tradition is
strong, AS Chief BOatswain McCar-
thy, /. s. n, has shown in an article in
THE Proceedings of the United States
Naval Institute" the adherence to Gus
tom extends to the manner in which
the boatswain's calls are varied for
different occasions, and even, in the
old navy. at least, it extended to the
way in which the officers gave their
orders.
The language used in passing words
was the vernacular of the sailor rather
than academic English. and the officer
who did not know that usually got poor
results from the boatswain's mate, who
had his own ideas about passing the
word. and got muddled in interpreting
any unusual order.
On one occasion. the officer of the
morning watch gave this order:
'BoatsWains mate. scrub down with
rapdity." This was a new one, and
after causing the officer to repeat the
order three times, the boatswain's
mate become desperate. He grabbed
a deck bucket. and forced it into the
hand of the nearest apprentice. whom
he started on his way with push that
sent the youngstor Keeling, and fol-
lowed him with this shout:

IT'S FAIR ENOUGH

w YHEN it was first decided to
" make complete review OF
all of the expenditures. ETC., under
each of the reclamation projects from
the time of their inception until the
present. there was some opposition
on the part of water users, who held
that the personnel of the board of re-
view would be more favorable to the
government than the settlers. With
the change made by the service in
this respect, there should now be no
cause at all for charges of unfair
ness.
It was first decided that there
should be on each project review
committee an engineer OF the
reclamation service. representative
of the Water Users Association. and
third man, an accountant to be
named by the reclamation service or
the department of the interior. This
has been changed. and the third man
will be one not connected with either
the government or the water users.
one strictly impartial, who will be
selected by the other members of the
committee, from Orland, Truckee-
Carson, klamath and Umatilla pro-
jects in session at Orland tomorrow.
The disinterested man selected will
in all probability be an accountant.
Ae will serve as a third member of
the committee in reviewing each

costs wherever it is- found advisable
and equitable.

appointee. These men are two Of
the best posted men in the West on

is cause for rejoicing among the
farmers, who should lend every as
sistance possible to the members OF
the committee in their complicated

DRINK HOT TEA
FOR A BAD COLD

Get small package of Hamburg
Breast Tea, or as the German folks
call it, Hamburger Brust Thee" at any
pharmacy. Take tablespoonful of the
tea, put cup of boiling water upon
it, pour through q sieve and drink a
teacup full at any time during the
day or before retiring. 1t is the most
effective way TO break cold and cure
grip, as it opens the pores Of the skin,
relieving congestion. Also loosens the
bowels, thus driving cold from the
system.
Try it the next time you suffer from
cold or the grip. It IL inexpensive
