the war, not to exceed the term of their enlistment in the reserve. The govern ment will pay all expenses incurred by reservists when reporting to headquarters at other places designated
 The naval reserve is to be composed of men who have received honorable dis charges from the navy, and will be di- vided into two classes. Class i consists of those men who enlist in the reserve within four months from the date of their last honorable discharge rom the navy. Men of this class who have served less than eight years in the navy are paid s90 per annum in the reserve, those who have served less than 12 and more than eight will be paid $60 per annum and those who have served more than 12 years will receive $100.
 Class ? consists of men who enlist in the reserve after four months and within eight years from the date of their last honorable discharge from the navy. Men of this class are paid at the rate of SIP annually. By serving another enlistment in the navy, however, all previous service in the navy will be counted to deter mine their pay and rating in the reserve and they may then be enlisted in the reserve and receive the same pay as men of Class 1.
 In addition to the enlfstments in the naval reserve above outlined, men who have served IS or 20 years In the navy are allowed to transfer to the reserve by making application to the Secretary of the Navy and men so transferred to the reserve are paid at the rate Of one-third and one-half respectively of the pay they were receiving in the navy prior to trans fer to the reserve.

NAVAL RESERVE FOR THE UNITED STATES

The recent action of Congress in pro- viding for the establishment of a naval reserve will be instrumental in making it possible for this country to maintain a sufficient force of adequately trained men available for immediate call into active service in case of war. This act prom ises to furnish solution to a problem that has been of vital concern to naval authorities for several years past, for it is a fact proven by experience that it takes at least four years to train a man to be an efficient naval man-o'- '-warsman, owing to the complexity of the modern dreadnaught. The term of enlistment in the reserve is four yeSrs, and of the several thousand men formerly seamen in the navy who will enlist in the reserve, large number will be drawn from this locality, according to officials at the local recruiting office. Only citizens of the Unis ted States who have served in the navy and received honorable discnarges there- from are eligible to enlist in the reserve, They are allowed to continue unham- pered their civilian work or professions, except at stated periods they are assem- bled at the district headquarters to sign the pay roll and undergo public inspec- ton and drill.
 This territory includes the states of Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama and Flor ida. For the past 10 years according to local officials, there have been annually enlisted in this district 500 men. On this basis it is believed that at least 4O0o men will accept the terms or enlistment in the reserve from this territory. The local navy recruiting station is receiving nu- merous applications of men who have served in the navy, asking for full par ticulars relative to the reserve, and offi- cials predict that this city will soon be the headquarters of a new military orr ganization of which it will be proud. Mem- bers of the reserve may be required to perform not less than oNe months active service at such time of each year ae they can obtain permission to be ab- sent from their civil employment. While performing active service they will re- ceive the pay of men holding similar ratings in the regular army. That is, if a reservist left the navy with the rat ing of a seaman, he will return for the stipulated period to the position and pay of seaman. In time or war men of the reserve may be required to perform active service with the navy throughout

The Glee club is one of the most exclusive in the school, it's membership being limited to "A boys. No girls are permitted to join. Theodore sings first tenor and has appeared in several operatic productions of the Dra- rnatic club.
 As you will observe from the photo- graph, Theodore is a handsome chap, and he is just at the age where a fellow likes to call on three girls in one even ing I don't know how many young ladies he calls on-he didn't say. He is a ratting good fellow, though and the kind of boy ono likes to have for a friend. He'll stick by you.
 The Tennessee company will have an opening for him when he has become pro- ficient in rail testing, and the well wishes of the writer and of every one on The Age Herald will follow him in his chosen profession. He is one of the fellows that don't know how to fail, and that kind are always found on top, begging away at the space above for a higher foot hold.

 and will graduate in June. He intends to
 take up the study of steel rails and after he becomes proficient in determining what constitutes a high grade product will be-

Retired Georgia Planter s Advice to Kidney Sufferers

Regarding the wonderful curative merits of your Swamp Root, 1 cannot say too much After suffering severe ly for three years or more with severe pains caused by weak kidneys, l was finally induced to try Swamp-Root through testimonial l read in one of the newspapers. l was in such a con- dition that I was obliged to arise from my bed six or eight times every night. l purchased a fifty-cent bottle and be- fore it was used I felt so much relief that purchased a one-doliar bottle, and by the time this was taken the old pains had left my back and 1 could sleep the whole night through. I am a retired planter, 70 years of age, and owing to Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root, I am in the best of health and feel like a boy. I am always glad to recommend Swamp Root to those who are in need of 1t.
