retains his hold on public fancy, with
his tales of his voyages, in spite of
this modern babbler of sea secrets,
there are other respects in which his
ancient and honored narratives \of life
afloat are quite discounted.
In these times in fact landlubbers
may see counterfeit presentments"
of sea sights and hear sea sounds,
very near the real thing, without go
ing far from their own firesides, or II
they may not do so today, the time is
not far off when they will, for con-
certed effort is being made to bring
home to the people all that may be
canned" of the movement and ac-
cents of sailors life.
In this educational effort-for it is
such, undertaken from various angles
by various people, but under author
ity of the United States Shipping
board, official sponsor for the Mer-
chant Marine-some novel effects are
being worked out
For example, in due time it may be
expected that sailors songs and sail
ors "chanteys"-as sung in forecas-
ties and at tasks on deck when Jack
the Merchant Mariner was a person
age afloat and ashore, as he is getting
to be again-will be reproduced in the
records of the family photograph.
"Chasneys" For The Music Machine
Chantey singing is being revived in
the Merchant Marine, at least on the
training ships which are preparing
Young America, at the rate of 1900
lads a month, for service in our vast
new commerce fleets, and under the
new order of things it will be posi-
BILE for Bangor, Maine, and Mesa, Ariz-
ona, to hear in the cams hour the ac-
tual notes and phrases of such famous
chanteys as Shenandoah" Pound
for the Rio Grande" and BLOW the
Man Down." for the record may have
them hard and fast before spring
flowers bloom again.
Even the nautically classic songs Of
Charles Dibdin, the songwriter pal
excellence of the sailor, may not be
counted too old, in spite of theN Isl
years, to find place beside Caruso
and Galli-Curci in the family cabi

In earlier times the yarn of the
sailor home from sea was the medium
through which many shore-going-
folks visualized life on the ocean blue
1t was far more graphic than writ
ten narrative In consequence Jack
was always a hero when he told the
story of his voyages.
Today, while the sailors story still
has its charm, it has powerful modern
rivals in its appeal to the minds and
hearts of the landsman back home. %
Nowadays it is not necessary for
sweetheart or wife to wait for Jacks
return to learn how his voyage is go

MERE HAMMERING MAY WIN
But More Effective Way to End War
Would Be to Open Eyes of the
German People.

Among the applicants for enlistment
in the marine corps the other day was
a man with a wooden leg. He gave q
demonstration TO show that his arti
fetal member could be unscrewed with
such celebrity as to make it equally
useful as a baseball bat with which
to wallop the pill in the regimental
series or as a war club with which to
clout blockheads in raids on the Ger
man trenches.
In swinging at the domes Of Huns
rising stealthily from dugout doors 1t
wouldn't matter If a man did have a
wooden leg so long as he had his bat
ting eye with him.
Winning the war, however, is not
matter Of battering brains out, but OF
hammering sense in. It is not a ques-
ton of knocking on wood, but of open
ing the eyes Of the blind.

h. L. Kramer, the man who origin

safe, quick-acting relief for bad stom-
achs. He named 1t EATONIC for your
stomach's sake.
You can eat anything you like now
and digest IT in comfort, for stomach
ease is positively assured If you eat
an EATONIC tablet regularly after
each meal.
EATONIC acts directly with the
food the moment it enters the stom-
ach- It Immediately checks any ten
dency toward too much acid and en-
abIes the food to pass from the stom-
ach into the bowel in a sweetened con-
dition, and thus prevents the forma-
lion Of sour distressing gases that up
set digestion and cause a bIoated, dull,
lumpy feeling that makes your
