ADMIRAL PATEY. OF AUSTRALIAN NAVY. 56
 YEARS OLD TOMORROW.
Adn1ira1 sir Georga ]

Admiral Sir George Patey, the
 commander of the Australian navy,
 will be hfty-six years old tomorrow,
 as he was born near Plymouth, Eng,
 Feb. 24. 1859. In taking up a, naval
 career Admiral Patey followed the
 example of his father, who was a
 captain in the royal navy. Admiral
 Patey entered the navy at the age of
 thirteen. and for forty-two years he
 has spent most of his time at sea- He
 early received his baptism of fire, for
 he was a nidshipman on the British
 warship Shah during the engage
 ment between that vessel and the
 Peruvian turret ship Huascar. Peru
 was then involved in an insurrection
 led by Nicholas de Pierolas, and in
 1877 the rebel leader sailed away on
 the iron-clad Huascar and attacked British and other neutral maiI-ships.
 The English vessels Shah and Ame- thyst, commanded by Admiral de
 Horsey, attacked the rebel ship and
 battered it so badly that it was fore ed to go into Peruvian harbor and
 surrender. Two years later the fu- ture admiral again saw active ser vice in the Zulu war Becoming a fulI-fledged officer, he was placed in command of the Barfleur, in the Mediterranean, and upheld British interests during the instruction in Crete. He attained the rank of cap tain in 1900, and after serving for a time as assistant director of naval in tel1igence became flag captain of the Venerable on the Mediterranean sta- 1 ton. Later he commanded the Inn- placable. and for two years was tn-
 specting captain of training ships. He was then sent to Australia to as- sume command of the new navy of the Commonwealth, with the rank of rear-admiral. and since the war has been prompted to vice admiral l The Australian vessels under Ad- niral Patey's command have given | a good account of themselves, and have proved a. valuable addition to John Bulls sea fighting forces Tn addition to the knighthood conferred upon him by his native land, Admiral Patey holds the Order of the Re- deemer from the king of Greece and | the Spanish Order of Naval Merit from the king of Spain.

to start inflammation there. One of the simplest home remedies for over coming earache is to lie down with the painful ear on a rubber bag con- taining as hot water as can comfort ably be borne. Every two hours a jet of hot water which has been boil ed and cooled just sufficiently to per init of its use, should be allowed to flow gently from fountain syringe Unto the ear for ten minutes, and then the ear should be dried with cotton. Earache may also be caused by some obstruction in the custodian tubes. The necessary treatment should 1 therefore be directed toward clearing the back of the nose and reducing the swelling at the opening of the eustachian tubes. One of the most imp ortant remedies that can be taken for such a condition is a, proper selection of the tissue foods internally

The cause may be p1limosis, at least partly, or it may have it's origin in an injured condition of the blad- der. The diet has also a great deal to. do with It. Your son should be given nothing but the very simplest food for supper. Milk, breads toast. crackers. etc.. should constitute his 1 last meal which should be given him at least 2 or 3 hours before he re- tires. He should, if possible, sleep on his sides, not on his, back, and on a. hard mattress.
 If phimosis exists it should be remedied by your family physician but if the trouble is due to some slight disorder of the bladder, as it Is in the great majority of eases. I would suggest that you procure for him preparation Of tissue clements, which [ have frequently referred to fin these columns. They are the cell salts that supply to the tissues the clements lacking which cause weak ness in any part of the body.

could happen to him that would lift
him out of his selfish self and make
him forget himself. He was aware of
a new interest in his scrutiny of his
ACCOMPLISHMENTS. He watched the
girl in gray, for instance. He sat near
her at the table, and even at the
fourth meal he perceived that she
seemed utterly Indifferent to him. al
though a fellow-diner had addressed
him by his name, which Jarrold knew
must mean lot to everybody who
heard 1t. He wondered whether Miss
Jameson was going to America on
business or pleasure, whether she was
rich or poor. He wondered how it
was that all his wealth only seemed
to interest women of certain type,
and not the marrying type. He won

of the throbbng pain in his side and
the black specks before his vision.

RED CROSS SEAL FUNDS

American Red Cross Director Urges

None of tlS proceeds from the sale Of

being sold widely throughout the Unit
ed States for the benefit Of the anti
tuberculosis movement, will be used
Tor any relief purposes. according to
statement by Ernest r Bicknell, Ma
uonal Director of the American Red
Cross.
Mr.. Bicknell says: The American
Red Cross is deeply appreciative Of the
sympathetic interest which has inspired
the suggestion from various parts of
the United States that certain per
centage Of the Red Cross Seal Sales

seven years exclusively for the proven

as 1t is for support to so large an ex-
tent on the sale Of Red Cross Christ
mas Seals. The announcement that a
percentage of the Red Cross Seal mon
ey would go to our war relief fund
might possibly increase the sale; but.
in our opinion. the final results would
show distinct loss In that part Of the
proceeds going for tuberculosis work.
AT the present time there are over
1900 anti-tuberculosis societies distrib
