n. Roosevelt cited some of his ex-

proof of his statements. He paid par
ocular Attention to the recent state
ment of Mr.. Hughes that less atten-

more to target practice in that branch
Of the service.
II wish Mr.. Hughes could take a trip
aboard a war vessel before the end of
the campaign, said Mr.. Roosevelt. Il
wish he knew the truth about the state
of the navy as we found 1t in 1913.
wish he could see the improvements
that have been made before he re-
peats his demand for target practice.
Does Mr.. Hughes know. wonder.
that the navy In 1913 had reached its
lowest efficiency in target practice
since 1898? Does he know that now
the gunners of the navy are shooting
at ranges of twelve to sixteen miles

ing as many hits in proportion as they
ever made in the old days?"

usually prescribed do not restore the
patients normal condition.
There seems to be a kind of dyspepsia
caused by arrangement of the female

Trade conditions today ran coun-
ter the interests of sellers and rs a
result the price trend on fat cattle
was reversed. The tie-up of the Cud-
ahy packing plant here, curtailed the
general demand to some extent, and
in a general way values were forced
10@15c lower, and there were in
stances where the decline figured as
much as 25c.
Stocker and feeder demand showed
a slowing down and while the clear
ance for the attractive grades match
ed closely those yesterday there was
a tendency to discriminate against
the medium and plain classes and
there were somewhat lower.
