TRANSPORTS WILL BE MANNED BY NAVAL GRE WIS IN FUTURE
Another Loss From Subma- rine Because of Slow Speed and Inefficient Handling
 Not Wanted

Washington, Octobe A. Blneiackets will man and naval officers will command army transports hereafter.
 Officials believe that will in- sure more efficient operation of the ships, particularly in the war zone, where the strain on a crew is greatest, and so les sen the risk of destruction by submarines.
 Decision to have the navy operate the transports, announced today. is believed to have been hastened by the sinking of the transport Antilles, manned by civilians. It was pointed out that highly trained and discip- lined naval forces are far more ef- fective than a constantly changing civilian personnel. This is regarded as particularly true of the fireroom force, upon which ships speed large ly depends.
 MORE SAILORS NEEDED The manning of the transports will make necessary a large increase in the naval personnel and the general board Is understood to have recommended that Congress be asked in December to au- , thorize an additional S0,0e5 men, 5000 for the permanent naval forces and 5000 for the period of the war.

Kidney e Co.
(BY DIR, ]. H. wATsoN)

The kidneys ana the skin work in
harmony. They're companions, the
skin being the second partner. If we
are anxious to keep well and preserve
the vitality of the kidneys and, also,
free the blood from noxious elements,
we must pay special attention to a
good action of the skin and to see that
the kidneys are flushed so as to elimi-
nate the poisons from the blood.
Sweating, by hard work or in bath,
at least once a week, helps to keep the
skin and kidneys in good condition.
Flush the kidneys by drinking plenty
Of pure water with meals and between
meals. Occasionally obtain at the drug
store knuric. double strength, which
will help flush the kidneys and the in.
testines. You win find that Anuric is
many times more active than nthia
and that It dIssolves uric acid as hot
water does sugar.
