NAVAL NOTES
AT ACADEMY.
Marine Guard Now In Command
Of Captain RoreX, u. S.
Marine Corps.

The Marine Guard of the naval
Academy is now under the cor. nand
of Capt. Alley d. RoreN. u. $. N. c..
1t is Quartered on the Il. s. Ecna Mer-
cedes, the station ship. The guard
has been greatly reduced in uuubers
by the eXigencies Of war. II has now
only so members
When the Academy had 500 mid
shipmen the fun complement Of the
guard was $50 The oularsed mid
shipmen body necessarily calls for
more. but two things come to j'e as
, sistancc of The guard and these are
the indomitablc spirit Of the organi-
zation and the large complement of
civilian watchmcn
The watch takes the posts during
, the day. They by constant tours of
duty know the citizenship, and the
routine of passage and travel in and
perform these duties. At night the
marines occupy the posts that require
special guarding, but the scarcity of
their number that keeps them busy,
and without much leisure Yet this
is the key note Of the Naval Academy
now everybody is at war tension pace.

THE MAKING OF
A FAMOUS
MEDICINE
How Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound
Is Prepared For
Woman's Use.

A visit to the laboratory where this
successful remedy is made impresses
even the casual looker-on with the reli-
ability, accuracy, skill and cleanliness
which attends the making of this great
medicine for woman's ills.
Over $50, 900 pounds of various herbs
are USED annually and all have to be
gathered at the season of the year when
their natural juices and medicinal sub
stances are at their best.
The most successful solvents are used
to extract the medicinal properties from
these herbs.
Every utensil and tank that comes in
contact with the medicine is steriIized
and as final precautiCn in cleanliness
the medicine is pasteurized and sealed
in sterile bottles.
1t is the wonderful combination of
roots and herbs, together with the
skill and care used in its preparation
which has made this famous medicine
so successful in the treatment Of
female. ills.

To meet the new problem, most or
the ordnance eXperts-the regular
army officers-were assembled in whaf
is known as the engineering bureau of
the ordnance department, and 20 this
bureau was given the task of design
ing ordnance material. How much de-
signing work there is to be oone in
the ordnance department is suggested
by the fact that 10000 blue prints
day are turned out in Washington
for the information of manufacturers
of ordnance material.
The next big task of the ordnance
department, after designing the ma
teriai, was to place contracts and pur-
chase orders. 1t was extremely diff
cult to find plants where ordnance ma
