LIFE ON A SUBMARINE.
Physical Evils That Come From Long,
Continuous Duty.

PhysicaI Evils Inat Tome from Long,
... Continuous Duty.
According to Assistant Surgeon Wal
ter w. Cress Of the navy, long, con-
tinuous duty on submarines is con-
ducive to high blood pressure, with its
attending evils.
Whether that is due" he says, ito
mental strain, loss of sleep, overeating
with lack of exercise, excessive use of
tobacco, coffee and tea or some toxic
agent peculiar to submarines am I'M
able to say. 1t was noted that slight
fall occurred after a forty-eight hour
surface run and three hour dive. Un-
doubtedly that could be accounted for
by fatigue or lack of physical exer-
else during the preceding forty-eight
hours"
One effect, natural under the circum-
stances, he says, was that Of loss Of
weight, and it is observed that there
is probably no occupation, excepting
that of boilermaker, giving rise to
as many cases Of partial deafness as
submarine duty. 1t is not uncommon,
NC says, AOA uCu " IcpOlI IudI Iucy
have increasing difficulty in hearing
the commands. That is attributed to
the constant Migratory movement of
the submarine, the straining Of cara to
hear above the noise Of the engines,
the presence of cold drafts of air down
the matches while operating on the
surface, the excessive heat while run
ming submerged and the inhalation of
gases given off by the batteries and
fumes from oil tanks. i'A

General RhinolD Orders
Boards to Re-Anange
Listed Men by July 1

Adiutant General Walter F. Rhinow
Monday ordered all local boards in
the state to begin at once the re-
classification of registrants listed IN
the deferred classes of the govern
ment draft and to have all data pre-
pared by July 1. Government appeal
agents are to aid in compiling the
data.
The new order follows the decision
to place as many men as possible In
Glass 1, as it is estimated that the
July call for draftees will leave only
about 5000 men to be called from
Class 2. This does not include the
men who registered June 5, 1918,
many of whom will be placed at the
end of Class 1.
The new ruling will effect prin-
cipally large number of dependency
cases. Of the 5000 registered from
Minnesota, officials under Adjutant
General Rhinow have estimated there
are between $4,000 and 100000 who
Will De fe-claSSlIleQ.
One purpose of the re-classification
will be to get all information possible
before Congress passes on the chang
ing of the draft age. 1t will give the
national draft officers an idea as to
how many men may be drawn in the
rapidly increasing calls for the ma
tional army. <.
The new standards of physical ex-
animation adopted by the government
will be put in effect to determine
what men will be placed in limited
service class.
Local boards have received orders
to begin mailing questionnaires to
registrants of June 5, 1918, at once.

CUTTING THE ROSES.
How to Remove the Flowers Without
Iniurinu the Plants f

How to Remove the Flowers Without
Injurins the Plants.
There is right as well as wrong
way to cut roses. IF not cut cor
\rectly the blossom producing proper
ties of the plants may be seriously in
jured. This applies particularly, of
course, to rose plants chosen and
grown especially to supply cut flowers.
Such roses will be largely Of the per-
petual blooming sorts. z5iFss
When rose is cut from such plant
only two or three eyes of the current
seasons growth of that branch should
be left on the plant. This should give
the roses very long stems. Succeeding
blossoms should be cut to the ground.
1t will seem like destroying the bush
to take so much off, but If the object
is the production of roses the cutting
away Of the surplus wood will simply
further the desired end.
If the spring pruning has not been
sufficiently severe the plant is likely
to have long, naked stalks and short
stems to the flowers. In such case
only one or two strong leaf buds
should be left on the branch when the
flower is cut, SO as to stimulate as
much growth as>possible from the base
of the plant.
The temptation is great to leave
wood where there are two or more
buds on one branch, some being small
when the terminal one is open. This
bad practice can be avoided by pinch
ing off all side shoots after bud has
formed on the end of branch, thus
leaving the stem perfectly clean and
willowy. Popular Science Monthly.
