 Rumors fly quick in Seward and .,ord immediately vas circulated that the Admiral Watson was in trouble. From what can be learned by wireless the name of the craft is not known.

Atmospheric conditions the ,ast two nights have not been of the pest and that is one reason no definite vold has been received here by wire less.

Food Waste From Rats.

In all parts of the country there Is
! a serious economic drain In the de-
structlon by rats and mice of mer-
chandise held for sale by dealers. Not
only fOOdstuffs and forage, but tex
| tiles, clothing and leather goods are
| often ruined. This loss is due mainly
to the faulty buildings In which the
! stores are kept. Often 1t would be a
measure of economy to tear down the
| old structures and replace them by
new ones. However, even the old
buildings may often be repaired so as
to make them practically rat-proof;
and foodstuffs, as -four, seeds, and
| meats, may always be protected in
wire cages at slight expense. The
! public should be protected from in
sanitary stores by a system of rigid
inspection.
Similar care should be exercised in
the home to protect household sup
! plies from mice and rats. Little prog
ross in Kidding the premises of these
animals can be made so long as they
have access to supplies of food. Gel
lars, kitchens and pantries often fur
nish subsistence not only to rats that
inhabit the dwelling. but to many that
come from outside. Food supplies
may always be kept from rats and
mice If placed in inexpensive rat-proof
containers covered with wire netting.
Sometimes all that is needed to pre-
vent serious waste is the application
of concrete to holes in the basement
wall or the slight repair of defective
part of the building.
The necessity Of cooperation and
organization in the work of rat de-
structiOn is of the utmost Importance.
To destroy all the animals on the
premises OF single farmer in COM
munity has little permanent value,
since they are soon replaced from
nearby farms. If. however, the farm
ers of an entire township or county
unite In efforts to get rid of rats, much
more lasting results may be attained.
If continued from year to year, such
/ organized efforts are very effective.

The navy department has released
from office and shore duty the regu-
lars Of the navy and the reservists and
has assigned them to active duty with
the fleet Their places as clerks will
be taken by women wherever possible.
Rear Admiral MCGOWAN. paymaster
general Of the navy, issued the order In
connection with this change In policy.
Every man released from shore duty,
whatever his rank or rating, adds just
one more to the fighting force" says
this order. Every man Of every rank
and rating desires, of course, to get to
the firing line as soon as his services
ashore can be spared.
mo man In the navy is willing In war
time to do anything that woman can
do as well; whereas no officer can be
expected to be content in any part of
the shore establishment unless engaged
upon supervisory work so important in
Its nature that 1t cannot properly be
delegated to any person of lesser rat
ing.
""SAClohc ~ 10 ISHuSSlSu anu III
rected that the officer In charge of
each division of the bureau of supplies
and accounts make careful and criti-
cal survey of his personnel, both com
missioned and enlisted, to the end that
the paymaster general may know how
many and which men can be spared
without seriously interfering with the
work. These reports will include not
alone reservists but regulars as well,
and it is to be distinctly understood in
this connection that applications from
individuals for sea or overseas service
will not be necessary-the one and
only object being TO carry on the work
here and at the same time release the
maximum number of men for duty at
the front"
