Uncle Sam Will Take Good Care
of His Merchant
Crews.
SEAMAN'S BOTTLE IS LATEST
Contains Passports to Good Health by
Providing Free Hospital Treat
ment Anywhere-Days OF the
Dogs Life Now History.

Observation-Disclosures Sam is getting
more watchful of the health of his
merchant crews as the great American
peace-time fleet continues to grow.
The latest innovation of the United
States shipping board in the "seaman's
bottle," which has now become one OF
the cherished possessions of hundreds
of American seamen.
This little glass bottle, small enough
to be carried in the vest pocket, con-
tains passports to good health-print-
ed forms which, when filed out by a
ships captain, will gain admittance for
the holder to any United States ma
rine hospital or relief station Of the
public health service in every impOr-
tant port in the United States. On a
foreign voyage the application will pro-
vide the seaman with the best medical
care, free of charge, on application to
the United States consular officer.
At present the bottle is being pro-
vided only for men who have been
trained for sea career by the recruit
ing service of the shipping board, but
in the opinion of Surgeon General
Blue every American seaman should
have one.
It is in port that the new "seaman's
bottle" which was originated by DR..
Louis w. Croke, medical director of
the shipping board recruiting service,
plays Its chief part. A seaman in need
of medical attention has merely to dig
the bottle out of his kit, bring the
printed form to his skipper to be filled
out and then go ashore to the nearest
federal official.
Free Hospital Care.
The label which bears the imprint of
the boards recruiting service informs
the seafarer that he is entitled to free
hospital care no matter what his sta
ton aboard ship. The term "seamen,"
it says, means not only the men who
are employed on deck but persons en-
ployed on board in the care, preserva-

Picked a Good Place

The story is told on a certain
young fellow in this town who
had a piat bottle OF whiskey
which he desired to hide for
future use. He selected a hol-
low under plank and carefully
concealed his prize" where he
did not expect it would be
found. But someone with a
good scent found the bottle and
made away with it. Someone
else locking for a good hiding
place fG- a larger bottle picked
the same place and, after the
first bottle had been stolen,
concealed a quart of the liquid
un er the same plank. The first
fellow returned again in a day
OF so and instead of finding his
pint bottle discovered the quart
in the same place and of course
he helped himself.

Applies to All Drinks Containing
More Than 1-2% Alcohol.
Some Cities Remain Open in Defiance
Of the Law. Test Cases
Being Made.

Old John Barleycorn Wiggled
and twisted in death agony un-
til early on the morning OF July
1st when war time prohibition
went into effect and the country
today is as dry as a bone so far
as the open saloons are con-
cerned.
War time prohibition was or
dered while the war was going
on and a law was passed by Con-
gress and signed by the Presi-
dent prohibiting the manufact-
ure and sale of Intoxicating
liquors after July 1st, 1919. Be-
cause of the ending of the war
an effort was made to have the
President declare the troops de-
mobilized and the ban declared
off but Congress refused to move
and as consequence thirst par
lors handling drinks with a
kick" in it were ordered closed
on July 1st.
There is considerable agita-
tion for beer and light wines
containing a small percentage OF
alcohol but with countrywide
prohibition coming on next Jan
uary it is not likely that the ban
will be removed.
All over the country there was
"a big eefeb ebratiol of the eveft
and some places still openly defy
the law by selling light wines
and beers, but the latest inform
alton given out at Washington
is that violators of the law will
be prosecuted.
