PART OF SEA-SCOUTING PRO-
GRAM, FOR WHICH VESSELS
HAVE BEEN ASSIGNED HERE,
BE CARRIED OUT.

One or both of the torpedo boat de-
stroyers Perkins and Sterrett will
likely go to sea today, for stay of
some hours, for an actual try-out of
the. line of maneuvers for which they
have been assigned to the local sta
tion.
A partial phase of this program
viii be the discovery of the destroy
ers by tie aeroplanes, the latter to do
scout duty as if an enemy instead of
a friendly ship, was near the APP
proaeh to the harbor.
The destroyers will go out into the
open gulf first and it will be the plan
of the aviators to locate and define
the respective positions of the craft.
Within another ten days, according
to information in naval circles, two
and possibly more destroyers will be
in port, to take part in the maneuvers
thus defined above.

WISE WORDS
A Physician on Food.

A western physician has views
about food. He says:
II have always believed that the
duty of the physician does not cease
with treating the sick, but that we
owe it to humanity to teach them how
to protect their health especially by
hygienic and dietetic laws.
with such a feeling as to my duty
I take great pleasure in saying, that,
in my own experience and ALSO from
personal observation, have found
no food to equal Grape Nuts and that
I find there is almost no limit to the
great benefit this food will bring
when used in all cases of sickness
and convalescence.
ut is my experience that no physi-
cal condition forbids the use of Grape
Nuts. To persons in health there is
nothing so nourishing and acceptable
to the stomach especially at breakfast
to start the machinery of the human
system on the days work.
i @In cases of indigestion know that
complete breakfast can be made of
Grape-Nuts and cream; and I think
it is necessary not to overload the
stomach at the morning meal. / also
know the great value of Grape Nuts
when the stomach is too weak to di-
gest other food.
This is written after an expert
ence of more than 20 years treating
all manner of chronic and acute dis
