JUNIOR JACKIES
NOW FOR Defense
Uncle Sam Would Teach
1916 Year Old Boys
How TO Shoot
NO OBLIGATION
TO SERVE LATER

Young Americans who have watch
ed with admiration and longing the
blue jackets that invaded" the city
several days ago, now are to have
their chance to become really and
truly junior jackies wearing real sail
or clothes and drilling with machine
guns and all that.
A movement was launched yester-
day to organize a boys naval reserve
to be composed of lads between the
ages Of twelve and sixteen years. The
organization will be under the aus
pices Of the Navy Club recently form
ed by ex-sea fighters now residents
of Wilmington. The idea was sug-
gested by Chief TuTret Captain Will
liams who is assistant to Chief Ma
chinist's Mate Coates in charge Of the
naval recruiting station in the Law
Building, Ninth and Market streets.
Applications for enlistment" in the
Boys Naval Reserve will be required
to pass the regular physical examina-
tion for the United States Navy. eX-
cept that the weight and height quSli-
fications will not be considered. The
members will be taught seamanship,
naval drills and all the other things
required of apprentice seamen. Phys
ical exercises to develop strong
healthy bodies will be a part of the
training given. Too, absolute obedi-
cnce to orders will be strictly re-
quired, the penalty for any infraction
OF regulations will be "dishonorable
discharge" or other undesirable dis
missal from the reserve.
Membership in the body will not in
any way obligate boys TO enlist in the
navy when old enough, but it is the pur-
pose of the promoters of the plan to
show boys lust what a fine life it is TO
be a man '-warsman.
Boys eligile for enrolment in the re-
serve may secure full information by
applying TO Chief TluTet Captain Will

The Cause of GOut,
Bright'S Disease,
Rheumatism

fBy VALENTINE NJ. PIERCE, NJ. d.
According to the consensus of opin-
Ion of most medical men and sclen-
lists such as Garrod, Minkowsh, Hans
Vogt and Reach, the cause of gout is
due to an accumulation of uric acid
in the blood. The same effect happens
in rheumatism, and preceding the
stage known as Brights disease an
auto-intoxlcation process has been
going on. the liver and kidneys could
not do the work and the individual
suffers the consequences. High living,
lhe eating of meat more than once a
dav. over-eating, frequent chilling of
lhe body-all may contribute to the
poisoning.
In such cases the very best treat
mont is to prevent or remove the
cause. Diet and exercise if possible;
drink plentifully of water-a pint of
hot water with a piece of lemon
squeezed into it morning and night,
ana take before meals a tablet Of
Anuric double strength). This
Anuric can be obtained at almost all
drug stores and it drives the uric

Washington, Aug. 1S.-President Will

tent to which he would assume the

Under the law the president may fix
the price Of coal operate the mines or
commander stocks and sell to The

on the federal trade commissions new
completed report on the coal situation.
The trend of the commissions re-
port on the subject was to urge the
president to take over the supply and
it's distribution.
The president will take some action
in the coal situation early next week.
He carried back to the White House
from the trade commission a mass OF
statistics on coal production costs and
will 60 over them tomorrow. His '1e-
