The October records of headquar-
tiers Marine Corps show gradual
increase in the percentage of enlist
ed men qualifying each month in
craftsmanship. Records show that
are qualified as marksmen or better.
During the current target year ma
rines fired on thirty-one different
rife ranges located in various parts
of the world, including China: Ha-
"a!i. Guam. Virgin Island. Haiti.
San Domingo. France. Azores and
! Cuba. There are at present 1:9 dis
tinguished rifiemen and. three dis
unguished pistol shots in the Marine
Corps.
Recruiting for the Marine Corps for
the month of October. 1920, was most
successful: the number of actual en-
iistnlents recorded at Marine Corps
headquarters being 1.502. an increase
of thirty four over the preceding
Marine Corps recruiting outside war
time recruiting. The net gain in
strength for the month was s95. also a
record. and the strength of the corps on
the last day Of the month was 1854.
The prospects for recruiting for Novem-

PRIVILEGES to End.

| 1t was announced by the Navy De-
partment during the past week that
November II is the final day for the
re-enlistment. with continuous serv-
have remained out of the service for
periods up to one year. 1t was stated
! that a man discharged from the Navy
| who re-enlists within a certain period
, is allowed by law gratuity of two,
three or four months pay. depending
| being increased each time he re-
| enlists.
Heretofore this offer became void
after a period of four months Con-
gress. however, passed law last
spring which, increasing the pay of
the Navy, extended the time of-elapsed
| enlistments from four months to one
/ year. This offer was limited. how
ever, to a period of six months. which
expires November II.
That this privilege of re-enlisting
materially accelerated naval recruit
| ing is evidenced by the fact That for
the period between the passage of the
law and October 1, establishments to-
tailed $3.50. or about 100 month
This result. together with the fact
have now reached an average weekly
total of 1000. shows that the oner
held out by the naval recruiting
service is understood and appre-
ciated throughout the country. NaVal
authorities are. in consequence, highly
gratif1ed at this splendid response.
The bureau of navigation is engaged
in furnishing to the adjutant general
of each state the war record OF each
person from thAir state who had ma
val service during the world war.
The record includes the following
data: Name. place and date OF enlist
ment or enrolment. service number.
age at entrance. rate at entrance. reg
nlar Navy or reserve force. home ad-
dress. places and dates where served.
ratings and numbers OF days held
each rating and oommendatory or
meritorious service render ed, date and
place of discharge or inactive duty;
rating at discharge.
In the last annual Navy appropria-
ton bill 100000 was provided for the
necessary clerical force to compile
these records. The law says the work
must be completed and the records in
the hands of the states by June 80.
1921. States, historical societies and
commissioners are ready to receive
these records and publish them in
| book form, so that future generations
may know of the gallantry Of their
soldiers, sailors and marines in the
worlds war and stand ready to follow
their example should war clouds ever
gather over the republic.

Bombing Experiments.

Admiral Coontz, acting Secretary of
the Navy, announces that interesting
bombing experiments were recently
conducted. when the old battleship
Indiana was used to determine the
effect on the vessel of aerial bombs
exploded under water near the YES
sci. the experiments being completed
October 81. Aerial bombs placed at
carefully measured distance under
water from the hull of the vessel were
exploded and produced the expected
damage to the vessels plating. Upon
completion Of the underwater expert
ments with bombs, the vessel was
taken into shoal water. The bombs
were not dropped from the air, as I'M
derstood by many.
Further experiments will be con-
Quoted to determine damage which
may be expected from bombs exploded
on a ship.

dition and below normal weight this
warning should be needed promptly.
If you are in this condition nothing on
earth will build you up and strength
en- you like Tanlac, which contains the
most powerful tonic properties known
to science. AS reconstructive tonic
and system builder it is without an
equal and contains the very elements
needed by the system to give you
fighting strength to ward off disease
germs. This is a statement of fact
and is supported by the recognized
authorities and reference works in
Guiding the U. S. Dispensatory, the
Encyclopedia Britannica, and also by
standard text books used in the
schools of medicine. This statement
is further proven by the fact that
millions of persons who have actually
taken Tanlac have testified to its ex-
traordinary merit as medicine and
by the fact Tanlac is today having
the largest sale of any tonic on the
American market.
Tanlac is also an ideal strengthen
ing tonic for persons who are suffer-
ing from the after-effects of colds,
ordinary Grippe, and bron-
chal troubles, and hundreds of thou
sands are using it daily with most
gratifying results.
In connection with the Tanlac treat !
ment it is very important to keep the
bowels open by taking Tanlac Laxa-
tive Tablets, samples of which are en-
closed with every bottle of Tanlac. |

Influenza continues to spread; and
the disease is now prevalent over
many sections of the country.
1t has baffled the medical skill to
an unusual extent, and although it
has been held in check in most local
tiles it has gotten beyond control in
others. The germ has eluded bacteri-
'logists, and medical men now agree
that the best cure is prevention.
The su'est prevention is to build up
the bodily powers of resistance, and
o get the system into the best phys
ical condition possible. 1t is now uni
7ersally agreed that it is possible to
perfect the powers of resistance of
he human system so that it can
throw off almost any infection, not
excepting Influenza.
1t has been observed that persons
who are weak and rundown are more
susceptible to the disease than per-
sons who are in robust health, and if
