Now, you might think that any
medicine which is strong enough to
move the bowels when they are para
lyzed, would be too powerful TO be
used by person suffering with
ordinary Constipation. Yet "Fruit.a-

young boysand girls, men and women
OF all ages, without pain, gripping or

UNCLE SAM s NAVY FINEST
IN WORLD IN CHARACTER AND
LOYALTY OF ENLISTED MEN

WASHINGTON, Feb. 23--What may
happen 10 the navy of the United
States as a result of the conference
for limitat ion of armament, it may be
set down as a fact that it will remain
the finest in the world in point of per
sonncl. Data just issued by the Navy
department shows, first, that the Uni
ted States navy personnel is 99.7 per
cent pure American. Ont of ll9,205
enlisted men there are only 3J2 aliens.
The data also shows the personnel of
the navy to be exceptionally high.
grade physically and morally The
physical standard is demonstrated by
the fact that out of 10000 applicants
for the navy only 10000 were accept
ed. Others were rejected because of
physical shortcomings. The moral
standard is demonstrated by the fact
that only six per cent of the total mum
bcr OF men in the service deserted dur
ing the year, while good conduct med.
ais were awarded to over 5000 men.
The navy is essentially n young man s
service, 45,500 of the personnel being
under 2l years of age and two-thirds
Of the entire nay are under 25 years
of age. Only 90l are above the age
OF 50. Only 8 per cent of the enlisted
men are married. Over half of the en-.
listed men have had active service
at sea.

TWO Great Cooks

Two CfrcaC EOo&S
"Fifty Years Journalist, = by Mel
Vile f.. Stone, head of the Associated
Press for more than twenty-five years,
and - Woodrow Wilson as knew
Him. by Joseph rumulty, have re-
Gently been placed on the shelves of
the FL Centre public library. Both are
great books, and well worth the read
ing. Rich in historical incident and
pleasing in composition, they catch and
hold the interest of the reader from
start TO finish.
Tumulty s book centers for the most
part around Wilson, first as governor
Of New Jersey and later as president
OF the United States during an epoehal
period, still fresh in the minds of every
one. Not only does the writer give a
close up view Of the man whose private
life has been singularly withheld from
the public, bat he tells Of others prom
inent in government who have done
their part toward the moding Of pub
lie life and character in America.
Fifty Years - Journalist covers
q much longer period, and is brim full
Of intimate sketches of men who have
made history during the last fifty
years, not alone in America but IN the
world. The writer has known inti-
iaately the potentates Of all countries
and in fascinating style he tells OF
them. To those who would enter the
field Of Journalism, there is much OF
valuable suggestion in the story of the
author 8 own struggles and achieve
ments in this most fascinating of pro
fcssions.
