OUR LINE OF DEFENSE

1t is a moment of tense nerves-ready
to slip out OF the trench at the word Of
command-and at the enemy. Our men
on the firing line are physically fit for
/ military service because only about one
man out of five was chosen to endure
the hardships of this fearful war. But
we must not be content with 20 per
cent. in physical health of our American
youth. We cannot afford to lose four
men out of five because of physical un.
fitness. Such weaknesses can be cured.
Many times the kidneys are to blame.
If the kidneys are clogged with toxic
poisons you suffer from stiffness in the
knees in the morning on arising, your
joints seem "rusty," you may have rheu-
headaches, sometimes swollen feet, or
toxic poisons stored in the blood and
which should be swept out.
Then procure at your nearest drug
store Anuric double strength). The cost
is 20 cents. This An-uric drives the
uric acid out. Drink plenty of pure
water, take Anuric three times day
for month.

WAR BULLETINS

Lewes, Del, June 5.-Reports pre-
vail here that the German U-boats
which raided coastwise shipping on
Sunday and Monday have strewn the
Delaware Bay and the water around
the Delaware Cape with floating
mines. Ten mines have been found,
it is reported, and government mine
sweepers are searching for others.
Two OF them were exploded by gun
fire and the remaining eight were
recovered intact. No confirmation
of these reports can be obtained from
government officials. Shipping has
been held up for the present, no ves-
sci being allowed to leave without
permission OF the naval authorities.

Washington Was Wise

There is something of poetic justice in the fact
that one of the first of the old sluices to be re-
habilitated was the Chesapeake and Ohio the
building of which was pushed by General George
Washington, who was the first president of the
construction company which called it into being.
The Father of His Country was so convinced that
the future prosperity Of the nation had much to
do with water transportation by canal that he
obtained leave Of absence while he was still
commander of the Revolutionary army that he
might start the survey for the waterway with
which he hoped to connect the waters of the
Chesapeake bay with the unsated Ohio. The
project was realized, even in part, until
long after his DEATH but to this day the canal is
a carrier Of trade between Cumberland Nd. and
Georgetown, in the District of Columbia. 1t de-
rives its water partly from. the Potomac, and If
deepened would be of much Importance to the
national capital. 1t has for years been under
railroad control. The government has now placed
additional boats upon it and the lock crews are
working night and day. The channel is becom-
ing as busy as it in Civil days. when
800 boats, ten times the number which it had
when the federal authorities took charge, were
in constant Observation-Disclosures Harrington in the

An able seaman today gets $50 month and his
board During wartime he receives a bonus of so
per cent on his wages voyages into the war-Zone
waters of Europe. His life is insured without
cost to him to the extent of twice his yearly
ings.
His future is assured if he sticks-and the ship
ping board believes he will stick. 1t is estimated
that not less than 100000 officers and men will be
wanted to man the merchant marine after the war,
and it is expected that every accepted will be
an American citizen.
The shipping board is training officers as well as
crews for the new merchant marine. 1t has 80
technical schools in navigation and engineering,
where experienced men receive free instruction
fitting them for officers licenses
From June, 1917, when these schools were start
ed, to September, 1918, than 10000 students
were admitted to them. Every student was an
American citizen, fitted to enter by two years at
sea- or, in the case of engineers, equivalent tech
meal experience
Graduates of these schools the bridges Of
American merchant ships today in all of the seven
seas and the present classes of the school contain
more than 1000 students.

AviatnrIs Heart EnIarnad

Doctors Etienne and Lamy of Nan
cy, France, have conducted series Of
X-ray examinations of the hearts of
aviatOrs and have found evidence of
considerable enlargement. This heart
enlargement sets in early in the fly
ing mans career, being noticeable
after five months of experience in the
air. The degree of enlargement is
roughly proportional to the height at
which the aviator is accustomed to
fly, so that simple examination of the
X-ray plate suffices to determine
mans branch of flying service, wheth-
er he is doing chasing and bombing
work at high attitudes or is engaged
al harrying infantry, etc, at compare
lively low attitudes.
The enlargement seems to be SYM
retrical, and it does not appear to in
vOlve serious trouble. 1t is due to the
hearts adapting itself to the extra
work put upon it by changes In the
blood circulation because Of the vary
ing conditions in the atmosphere
through which the aviator flies and
to the general happenings incident to
aviation.

Hibarigahara, near Hariamachi, and
the receiving station will be at Hoso-

The direct distance between the new
office and San Francisco is 1900 miles,

FRIENDSHIP HARD TO EXPLAIN
Scientists Unable to Account for Com
partnership of Australian Death
Adder and the Rat

Though scientifically regarded as
the most dangerous and probably the
most deadly" of Australian snakes, the
death adder has TO its credit many
everyday proofs to the contrary; so
many, indeed, that some are inclined
TO class 1t as comparatively harmless,
the reasons for such opinion being:
% the small size of the creature, re-
duclng the risks of its being inter-
fered with inadvertently (2) its 'amia-
Dlnty; (3) the fact that unless the
sensitive membrane at the end of the
tail, to which the curved spine is the
eliminating point, is trodden on or
otherwise insulted, the chances are
that there will be no active resent
ment
Many years ago a locality in Aus
tralia suffered from a raid by bush
rats, which congregated in great num-
bers. Similar plaques have often been
recorded from the western downs; but
the coastal visitation was singular, for
II was associated with death adders.

Suddenly the rats migrated, and

bitten by a death adder which had lain
inert at the very spot whence the rat

the deceptive snake, which will not
submit to have its tail saluted even
by the airiest of treads, was killed.
This illustrates afresh the singular as

cups, and pals which bore labels indi-
eating that they were on the market
