CORONER SOUNDS WARNING.
Because Many Children Have Been
Victims OF Fire Lately.

Coroner Isaac s. Bullock today sounded
warning TO careless parents who leave
their children at home not properly safe
guarded against accident and death. He
said some Of tho parents should have
guardians and then the children would
be properly protected.
There have been too many children
injured By fire in tho past Is months, and il
Is time IL WAS stopped" declared the
coroner. Just think of it, IL children were
burned last year and most Of these
resulted from neglect" added the coroner.
The coroner stated that the small
children must be protected Coroner
Bullock also commented on the deaths
due 10 ssphynation from gas, saying
that many Of these resulted from careless
ness and that users Of gas should be more
careful to avoid deaths from this cause
in the future.
The coroner suggested that shields be
placed around stoves where small children
are liable 10 touch them. Several little
children have been burned TO death in
this manner, added the coroner.

ENLIsTMENTs IN NAVY.
Ten Wilmington Men Have Signed mp
Recently.

Recent enlistments in the Navy from
Wilmington and vicinity now total 10
men, according to q statement by c. II.
Martin and f.. J. Seller, who are in charge
OF the recruiting campaign here. All Of
these Wilmington boys have been shipped
to the main office at Philadelphia, and
from there sent to the training stations.
Five of them went to Hampton Roads and
the other FIVE to the training station Mt,
Newport, Rhode Island. The period Of
training Mr.. Martin said today, was about
four months, after which the men will be
immediately sent to cruising ship which
will take them to whatever part Of the
world orders are received to go. Some Of
the cruises last from two to three years
and an idea AZ to how far the boys travel
who enter the navy can be had from tn e
experience Of Mr.. Martin, who has been
around the world three times, visiting the
principal ports in most of the well known
foreign countries where he had an oppor-
tunity to spend considerable shore leave.
Both Mr.. Martin and Mr.. Seller today
madeit plain that the ordinary term Of en-
listment in the navy is for two years, but
for boys who wish to 60 into the training
school and learn ~ trade, the period of
enlistment is for three years.
In this connection they said the train
ing school for machinists, which was some
time ago at Charleston, South Carolina,
but now Mt Hampton Roads, is opened
Recruits are being sent there daily At the
training school at Newport, Rhode Island,
where number of tho Wilmington
boys went, there is well organized and
equipped medical school where the men are
given training in first aid and other
branches of the medical services This also
is popular end of the navy service, and
the advantages in this are just as wide as
in the other branches of the navy
1t was announced Mt the navy recruiting
station today that the new destroyer, ].
ID. Edwards, which is TO make cruise To
China, will be completed in about two
weeks. Two Wilmington men have applied
for enlistment on this boat and have been
referred to the main office in Philadelphia
by the local recruiting men.

BUY S1,0OO,OOO A DAY
Of GERMAN BONDS
Recent Exchange Rate Advance
Has Stimulated Demand for
Marks and Securities.

The American demand for German
internal bonds is now running at the rate
of approximately Sl,000,000 day, ac-
cordipg to partner in one OF the big in
ternational banking houses of New York
which has been accepting order for these
securities. At current rates of exchange,
this means that German marks totaling
somewhere between 60,0O0,00O and TO-
10000 a day are being purchased by
Americans who desire either to speculate
in the bonds or to hold them for invest
ment. In addition, it is said that impor-
tations of German goods are now con-
siderably in excess of what they were a
month or so ago, and this, too, is creating
a huge demand for marks.
Last week these marks could be pur-
chased at the rate of 81 03 per 100 marks.
On Tuesday there was sharp advance,
the price rising to $1.1S per 100 marks.
Yesterday there was sensational further
gain and at the close of the exchange
market the rate was quoted at 1865 per
100 marks. This advance, it was declared
had greatly stimulated the demand both
for marks and for German internal bonds,
for many who had been waiting in antici-
patton of further decline had suddenly
become convinced that the turn had come
and were hurrying to make their purchases
before the rate rose any more.
So great has the demand for these
German securities become that most of
the larger dealers now refuse To accept
orders for less than $4,000 marks, and n
few have placed the minimum at 100, 900.
at yesterdays closing quotation of 81 &c
per 100 marks this would mean minumm
for the $4,000 marks of $500 and of 81 600
for the 100000 mark minimum.

CUT THIS OUT
Old English Recipe for Catarrh, Ca
tarrhal Deafness and Head
Noises

IL you know OF some one WHO'S troubled
with Catarrhal Deafness, head noises or
ordinary catarrh cut out this formula and
hand 1t to them and you may have been
the means of saving some poor sufferer
perhaps from total deafness. In England
scientists for a long time past have recog-
nized that catarrh is a constitutional dis
ease and necessarily requires constitution
al treatment.
Sprays, inhalers and nose douches are
liable to lrritate the delicate air passages
and force the disease into the middle ear
which frequently means total deafness,
or else the disease may be driven down the
AIR passages towards the lungs, which is
equally as dangerous. The following
formula which is used extensively in the
damp English climate is a constitutional
treatment and should prove especially
efheacious 10 sufferers here who live under
more favorable climate conditions
