call a strong character in civil
To this list of virtues obviously es-
sential in a sailors character, be he
leader or subordinate, one other
quality should be added. refer to
the virtue of courtesy, the constant
practice of which is, in my opinion,
even Of greater Importance in the life
Of a sailor than 1t is in that Of civil
ian, OF many reasons for this not the
least is the fact that when he goes
ashore even in his own country's
ports, the naval man is constantly
meeting strangers. The little brus-
queries and carelessnesses of manner
we overlook in an intimate friend,
we are quick to censure in a strang-
er. Both from his own personal view
point and that of the service in which
he is employed, then, it behooVes the
sailor to practice unfailing courtesy
Should he be discourteous to anyone
ashore, that person will be antagonfz-
ed not only towards the particular
sailor himself, but also to the service
whose uniform he wears. If this be
true to the sailor ashore in his own
country, how much more applicable to
the sailor on shore III Lue Idnu OL
friendly foreign power? .<
High Day Courtesy
The slack sailor would contend that
he can always be courteous when he
wants to be, and that he knows quite
well how to put on his best manners
when he goes ashore in a foreign land
And that is just where the slack
sailor would be wrong. True courtesy
depends upon constant wear. Nc
man can be truly courteous today and
discourteous tomorrow. Courtesy
unlike the best coat, cannot be drag
ged out for high days and holidays
alone You may, if you will, call it g
habit; but I fancy it is truly some
thing more than that. 1t is acquired
only by steady exercise. All of US
by instinct are courteous, but there
are those of US, who. by Stacking il
our exercise of courtesy, lose the
knack of it and become Doors.
Conscientious though this exercise
should be, it is better that it should
never is quite self-conscious. Strain
ed courtesy is as useless as a strained
muscle. seIf-conscious courtesy IN
evitably becomes strained. That i:

by politics, elected Captain Alexander
Mellor of Engine Co. an assistant
chief at a meeting Saturday night.
Captain George W. Wilson, who has
been in the service since 1895, was
also promoted to assistant chief.
Friends of Captain Platt are dis

the man to whom preference was
shown did not start until 1907. Cap

he bears a reputation unmarried by
the least infraction.

life.
why in the United States Navy we
take courtesy for granted as an in
nate quality possessed by all. We dis
cipline ourselves not so much to ac-
centuate our natural courtesy as to
discountenance any lapse from it
which may tend to even momentary
discourtesy. Accordingly most of our
officers on most of our ships act up
on the line that courtesy like charity,
begins at home, and the first sign of
a tendency towards a bullying spirit
on the part of a petty officer is
promptly checked. A second sign,
and that petty officer ceases to pos
sess the slightest authority.
On my own ships I invariably act
ed on the line that one discourteous
officer makes a half dozen discour-
teous petty officers and at least
gross of discourteous men. Without
courtesy there can be no true disci-
pline, and generally I showed a mark
ed preference for discipline at the
sacrifice of the discourteous officer.
"Good Enough" No Good
In conclusion let me repeat an in
junction I gave in a lecture deliv-
cred to our civilian Naval Volunteers
some eighteen months ago. In mill
tary organization good enough is no
good" I said then, and I think that
this holds true to courtesy as to all
else. In civil life the law holds you
blamless if you can prove that tina,
you have exercised diligence in car
rying out a contract; but by military
law courtmartial will hold you to
account unless you have done your
utmost. This utmost cannot be
achieved unless there is loyalty
throughout the organization. 1t is
the one wholly indisr s3able quality
All officers desire it from their sub
ordinates, and wish to accord it to
their superiors; but, unfortunately
through failure to study the import
ant subject of military character (and
courtesy, and particularly through
failure to estimate the influence of
their own characters. methods, bear
| ing, and conduct upon their subordi-
mates, they often conscientiously pur-
sue a mistaken course. (By the In
ternationaI News Bureau, Inc, Bos-

 QI HEAL HOT WATER
 BEFORE BREAKFAST.
Says we will both look and feel clean, sweet and fresh
 and avoid illness.

Sanitary science has of late madC rapid strides with results that are oi untold blessing to humanity The. .lat- est application of it's untirng research is the recommendation that it is as necessary to attend to internal sanita- tion of the drainage system of the hu man body as it is to the drains of the house.
 Those of us who are accustomed tC feel dull and heavy when. we arise splitting headache, stuffy from a cold foul tongue, nasty breath, acid stom ach, can, instead, feel as fresh as a daisy by opening the sluices of the system each morning and flushing out the whole of the internal poisonous stagnant matter.
 Everyone. whether ailing, sick or well. should each morning before breakfast drink glass of real hot water with teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it tc wash from the stomach, liver and bowels the previ- ous days indigestible waste, sour bile and poisonous toxins; thus celansing swoetening and purifying the entire 9llnenLdFN Cdildl DtlcIe pQCoillS Hiti Y food into the stomach The action ot hot water and limestone phosphate on the empty stomach is wonderfully in- vigoratinp. It cleans out all the sour lamentations, gases, waste and aci- ditv and gives one a splendid appetite for breatkfast. While you are enjoy ing your breakfast the phosphated hot water is quietly extracting a large volume of water from the blood and getting ready fer thorough flushing of all the inside organs.
 The millions of people who are bothered with constipation. bilious spells, stomach trouble, rheumatic stiffness; others who have sallow skins, blood disorders and sickly com plexicns are urged to get quarter pound of limestone phosphate from the dru~ store. This will cost very little, but is sufficient to make anyone pronounced crank on the subject of internal sanitation.
