LONDON, Dee. 3l.-The British ar
morcd cruiser Natal has been sunk
after an explosion. Official announce
mcut TO this effect was made here to
day.
The Natal was sunk yesterday after
noon while in harbor as the result of
an internal explosion. There are about
400 survivors.
The Natal S sinking is the severest
loss which the British navy has re
ceived in several months. No British
naval vessel of importance had been
sunk since last May, when the Tri
umph and the Majestic were torpedoeJ
at the Dardanelles.
The Natal, although a powerful mar
Of war, was laid down IL years age
and her displacement was only about
one-half that of the largest British
sea fighters. The Natal's normal com
plement was 704 men.
In accordance with its procedure OF
late the admiralty has given no indi
cation of the location of the Nata
disaster. The military regulations
make it impossible to give this infor
nation publicly. The loss is generally
attributed TO foul play.
In support of this theory attention i
called to a similar disaster which over
took the British battleship Bulwark
which was blown up off Sheerncss il
November of last year with the loss o
700 or more men, and the British
steamship Princess Irene, blown up II
Sheerness harbor last May with loss o
between 300 and 400 lives.

MAKE HEALTH FIRST ORDER
Prevention OF Disease Always Better
Than Cure, and az General
Thing, Much Easier.

Think health.
Keep your thoughts on level OF
health. which means. harmony. This
does not mean that you are to disre-
gard signals of physical distresL II
they appear If your head aches, as
certain the cause. whether 1t is nerve
or liver, stomach or the cause too IN
frequently understood-eyestrain.
Then correct the trouble. Head
ache is not disease, but symptom,
and for that reason it is folly to take
so-called headache powders. Try first
rest and complete relaxation; induce
circulation by exercise. You cannot
think clearly If your liver is out or
working order and your circulation is
sluggish.
The law of health is the law of pre-
vention. Keep we'll, and obviously,
there will be no need for cures, A
few simple rules conscientiously adj
hered to should be sufficient to keep
healthy mind in q healthy body, and
the first Of these rules is "modera-
tion." Practice it at all times. If the
mind is oyerburdened with mental
food, brain flag, and its long list of
diseases, may follow; If the body is
overworked, nervous prostration or
some one Of thousand maladies may
ensue
In this climate and this age Of rush
and worry there are few who do not
need occasional aid to keep the body
in condition so that the mental facul.
ties may be assured of free play. A
glass of water with a few drops of
lemon juice in it before breakfast,
with salt-spoon of salt added, is an
excellent suggestion; laxative when
the liver is out of order is another
Aside from these, with fresh air and
a reasonable amount OF directed exer.
else any person ought to be able
to keep on the plane OF good physical
and mental balance which spells
health.-Pittsburgh Dispatch.

Ono Theory Exploded.

Wars have no influence on the wealth
er, says Weather Forecaster Bliss, In
spite of what we have always believed
about thunderstorms and the Fourth
OF July. Any weather prophet Of the
old school worth the name will sagely
tell you that the Fourth Of July al
ways winds up with grand display OF
natures own fireworks, an electrical
storm, caused by the explosion Of gun
powder. The old-fashioned rainmakers
Of grandfather's day put their trust in
cannon when they wanted water for
the crops. 1t is an interesting theory,
Forecaster Bliss admits, but has no
basis In fact Records at the local
weather bureau from the time 1t was
organized disprove the theory that
there are more thunderstorms July 4
than at any other time.
