Gunner's Mate Wins Praise.

Frederick Peterson Yost, chief gun
ner's mate, United States navy, has
received a letter commencing him for
the excellent work of the armed guard
Of which he was in charge on cargo
ship attacked by a submarine. The
promptness with which the submarine
was picked up and fired upon and the
accuracy of aim proved the efficiency
of the gun crew. Yost enlisted in the
navy at Philadelphia, Pa, October 3,
1907, and gave as his next of kin his
father, Albert John Yost, Centerville,
r. /. Here is characteristic report
from this gunner: "Night and fog

three shots, one striking coming tower
and exploding, while the third shot,
fired as the sub got broad off the ships

no return shots. We fired still an
other shot while sub was going under,

a distance, it being learned later that
another ship had been attacked and

Hot summer days upset the
strong stomachs as well as weak
ones.
Your vital forces reach their
lowest level when the weather is
the hottest. Then the danger is
the greatest.
You can't guard your stomach
and bowels too carefully through
the long, hot season. Don't take
any chance. Indigestion, sour
stomach, that wretched, bloated
feeling, belching, food repeating,
pains that claw at stomach and
bowels and an endless train of
stomach ills that make life mis-
cradle are greatly aggravated in
the hot weather.

FREE IN CRITICISM
Marginal Notes Upon Books Are
Sometimes Severe.
Readers Estimates of the Works in Q
Circulating Library Apt to Be
Irritating to Author, if
He Saw Them.

Not only is the battered condition of
certain works of fiction in circulating
libraries a sure proof of their popular
ity, but one may even gather details
from the marginal notes made by
feminine readers. It is not sufficient
for the Commemorative pencil to under
score admired passages, observes a
writer In the New Orleans Times-Pica-
yune; adjectives of praise also are
freely if not always discriminatory
bestowed.
On the closing page of some favorite
novel may often be read: Fine u
"Splendid!' sIovely!" or-highest
commentator of all-"Grandw One
notemaker undertook the large order,
81 would read every single word she
writes" and another avowed, with
more justice than she knew, "YOu
don't often find book like this
On the other hand, these unprofes-
sional critics can be terribly severe. A
novel which takes them out of their
depth is denounced as "a great big
BORE" or, with rude terseness, 'Rot y
or even, in one case of evident exas-
peration, "You think you know it all. =
A vigorous commentator on one of
Mary Cholmondeley's novels did not
wait for the last, but on the first page
warned away possible readers with
the word, "Punk," and three exclama-
ton points. The sprawling, uniformed
hand pursued the author with invet-
crate scorn throughout the book, mani
Testing that strange sense of superb
ority which frequently characterizes
ignorance.
A verse of French poetry evoked
the impatient query, "Why not write
Greek?" while above another was
scrubbed, saw, piffle! We are not all
French, you know" Observe that no
intellectual curiosity was kindled in
that thick brain to know what the
French words meant, nor any realiZa-
ton awakened that we enrich cur.
selves by knowledge of another Ian
guage.
The authors humorous touches were
clearly taken as serious by this out
ragged reader who, after. one passage,
wrote mockingly, "My hero!" When a
masculine character says something
'hoarsely" it is asked with biting sar-
casm, did he have cold?"
The hero conducts the heroine
through a dark room, knocking her
carefully against pieces of furniture, -
as usually happens when one person
tries to pilot another through obscuri-
ty, but this merciless critic demands,
"Wasn't he chivalrousg"'

author said, 1.-THE furniture was not of
the kind that expresses only one idea,
and that bad One," which calls forth
the comment. 'Like this book" The

ly'' without the jeer, '"The sun ought

Finally the cup of the authors in

is concerned, quite overflows, and on
the last page we find the verdict. ''This

Chicago.-The largest single order

Louis f. Swift, in commenting on
this today, said the order will take
the bacon from approximately 1.90O.-
600 hogs, and if other work were
dropped TO produce it, would be equiv
alent to the total bacon production of
the five largest Chicago packers for
nearly five weeks. However, six months
will elapse before delivery is to be COM
pleted. Mr. Swift said: :
AT the current prices on the day.
last week, when the purchase was
made, the packers would pay the live
stock producers about $8O,000,000 for
the necessary hogs and over $4,000, 900
for about 100000 cattle required. The

The whole order will be made up be-
fore the first Of the year, despite the
fact that, even before this purchase,
one-fourth Of the packers facilities
have been devoted to filling military
demands. In order to get out the
canned goods the packers will find it
necessary to employ night and day
shifts of Gamers. Notwithstanding
the fact that the products are being
rushed forward thus hurriedly, not a
