One morning we woke up to
learn from the Navy Department
at Washington that the American
navy was seriously below the
ratio OF world powers" was short
"4O0. 900 auxiliary tonnage, and
that about 10000 officers and
men win be required to bring the
fleet up to the most efficient
standard"
Worse than that, the officials
Of the Navy Department told us
the United States IL behind Brit
ain and Japan" giving this bill
Of particulars: Great Britain
lists fifty-six modern cruisers,
built and building. aggregating
100000 tons; Japan. twenty-five. Of
$4,000 tons; and the United
States. ten, Of 5000 tons. Of
which three are for delivery at
comparatively early dates.
This is added as some encour-
agement: Naval officials gener-
ally are Of the opinion that the
modernization Of the capital ships
authorized BY the last Congress-
will place the first-line ships on
parity with any In the world and
are prepared to concentrate their
efforts on the building up cf the
auxiliary forces"
REVOLVING HEADS OF NAVY.
AZ I read this statement, accom-
panied by the information that
Secretary DENLY Ii expected to
press the need Of craft to cover
the shortage Of 800. 900 to 400. 900
tons (why such q wide varia.
tion7), I began to regret that Con-
gress had adjourned and almost
wished for special session to
keep our naval strength from
making this country an easy prey
Of either Britain or Japan. But
the next morning. as I opened my
favorite morning Journal printed
at Raleigh. N. c.. I read q dis
patch from London which seemed
to Indicate that Britain's navy
was. II possible. ii . more serious
and dangerous situation than that
OF the United States.

If Child Is Nursing 1t Should Be Getting the Best

But even yet we are inclined to
have our suspicious. and often
rightly, of any dish which is too
highly seasoned.
AS more and more stress has been
laid upon strict sanitation in the
preparation, handling, storing,
cooking and serving of food, and
as our water and milk supply

both in children and adults, have
dwindled away like snow in May.
While the great proportion of
colics can be traced directly to
contaminated water, or spoiled
or infected food, there are two
groups which may appear even
under the most ideal conditions OF
food supply.
In common with the ordinary
type, the offending substances
have to be swallowed before trou.

come directly from catarrhs and

placid cheerfulness.
But prompt examination by
q competent physician is always
advisable, especially in young
children, for ordinary collie" is
not infrequently the sign Of really
serious trouble. And what is
true of the first of Mans Seven
Ages is equally true Of the other
six.
The particular sensations Of
ordinary colds are too well
known to need description here,
but it is perhaps interesting to
note that, while the source Of the
trouble is generally in the intes-
tines most of the pain IL felt
through the surface nerves Of the
adjacent abdomen.
THE STARTING POINT.
These may be considerably
soothed by warmth-hence the
popularity OF the hot-water bot
tie as a panacea for all such
evils. But, while this may re-
lieye the symptoms, 1t does not
remove the cause, though per-
haps it may, keep the patient
comfortable until natural forces
have brought about the desired
result.
The starting point Of the trou-
BILE Is violent contraction or
"cramp" Of some part Of the mus
cular wall of the stomach or In
testine. generally caused by the
presence OF unwelcome bacte-
ria in that part of the food canal.
This cramp means that the nor
NAL progression is retarded, gas
has a chance to form, the irrita-
ton is increased and another
results.
This vicious circle" keeps on
until the bowel, by sheer force.
empties itself Of the unwelcome
load.
Incidentally, the classic pangs
Of hunger are caused by some
what similar contraction Of the
muscles in the walls Of the. stom-
ach when It has been too long
empty.
CASTOR OIL rs GOOD.
If this natural emptying re-
action can be safely FASTENED, so
much the better: hence the great
value Of the rnilder laxatives
with hot drinks containing soda
and cinnamon or ginger in all
ordinary cases Of Intestinal collie.
Castor oil IL one Of the best
remedies for this particular sit
luation, while salts Of the phos-
phate and alkaline types. or small
doses OF caIomel, are also ex-
tremely useful.
The stronger cathartics, such
as over-large doses Of calomel
or purgatiye salts. or compound
cathartic pills, are, however, likely
to do more harm than good, be-
cause they tend to produce grip

True clairvoyance, automatic In
its operation and impossible to
demonstrate by fraud, trickery or
collision.
The same experiment in the de-
velopment Of clairvoyance is based
upon the ancient philosophic
thought Of the Yogis Of India and
concerns itself entirely with diet.
A diet of cereals and uncooked
fruit produces a certain spirituality
and state Of mental detachment
which invites receptiveness to clair
voyant influences.
The chief barriers to overcome
in developing individual powers OF
clairvoyance are those Of hesita-
ton, shyness, intelligent denial Of
the facts.
Very often a demonstration OF
authentic clairvoyance is spoiled
because the individual has con-
sidered the thought that comes
unbidden to the mind is too rriv-
ial, too foolish" to retain or to
write down.
Yet the admitted first coherent
message received through me-
diumistic connection from Will
liam Stead reads so fantastically
that it would ordinarily be dis.
missed from the mind Of a per.
son not expert in receiving such
go messages.

I republish here, from the Off
cial organ of organized psychical
investigation, Occult Review for
February, 1923 published in Lon
dom. the following true account
Of the beginning Of "The Blue

ing to come from the late Will
liam Stead, concerns the expert
ences Of a new arrival beyond
the veil.
"The Blue Island is the other

MINIMIZING THE DANGER.
But, while this method will
generally dispel any ordinary at.
tack OF the collie, 1t is far more
comfortable, to say nothing nf
moro efficient. never to have IL
at all, and this ambition becomes
easier and easier to realize as
our general standards Of super
cleanliness increase.
An attack Of collie cramp is
generally caused by the prcsance
OF undesirable aliens among
the bacteria Of the intestine; and
these have almost always entered
the system In our food or drink.
So IL we can keep our water
supply pure. and all our food
clean ana fresh, the chances Of
such an infection being able to
enter the system are reduced to g
minimum.
It is hardly possible to lay too
much stress upon the value Of alb.
solute cleanliness in all food
handling processes, nor upon the
Importance Of adequate cold.
storage facilities; for the two
together viii not only keep foad
cleaner, but will insure Its re-
manning fresh and unspoiled for
e much longer time. and It il the
bacteria of spoiled food AMI Of
putrefaction that are the COM
monest offenders In attacks OF
collie.
The earlier ages. and especially
the medieval period, had per-
feet craving for peppers and sea-
sonings of all kinds; no risk was
too great. no voyage too long and
perilous. If q few pounds Of strong
tasting spices could be gained a.
q reward.
When In the fifth century A. D.
Alaric captured Rome and the In.
habitants asked for. his terms Of
ransom he cried. ''Give me all your
gold, and all your silver. and all
your pepper, and ! win spare your
cityl'and the ransom was ar
ranged on those conditions. The
reason for this craving for spices
Is quite simple: in those days no
one had the faintest notion Of
how to properly prepare or pre-
serve food, except by sailing or
smoking It: hence great deal Of
meat had to be eaten that was
more than q trifle high" and
strong tasting spices were simply
priceless as ''camouflage" to stifle
the protests Of the palate.
ATTACKS DWINDLE AWAY.
Az general cleanliness and civ
. ilization increased this passion for
spices diminished, until now they
occupy very minor though use
full part Of our diet as mild anti.
septics and BELIEVERS Of spasms.

BY JOSEPHUS DANIELS,
Secretary Of the Navy in Wilson's

Cabinet.
wWYHAT IL the matter with
M the navy? One day this
monbh there was sent out
a Macedonian cry from the Navy
Department that showed distress,
and the very next day the first
lord Of the admiralty was telling
the British people of the need Of
strengthening the naval forces Of
the country which has long been
.'tle mistress OF the sea-
It lie only q little over q year
since the Washington conference
was held to fix q ratio Of naval
ships. which was to end competi-.
ton in naval building. and to
usher in an era Of adjustment and
stop spending big money ON naval
construction.
Those responsible for the con-
ference rather the officials
who claimed to be. its authors
told us that, while nothing had
been attempted IN the way Of re-
duction Of the land forces, that
it was complete success IN the
agreements reached as to the
strength OF the big navies Of the
world.
The SIS ratio was talked
about as some almost divine or
cabalistic realization Of the perfec-
ton rarely attained. On the day
the conference met Secretary
Hughes, like bearded prestidigita-
tor. held his arm high in the air
for emphasis and attention. When
he finally let it reach the table
out came three wonderfully mark
ed cards
BSS.
The dazed audience, now fully
under the hypnotic spell. gasped:
.What Ii the fatefuI or glorious
meaning Of that combination Of
figures?" And while they were
stiIl under the spell Of the hypno-
fist. Secretary Hughes proceeded
to make them believe that those
cabaIistic figures would do these
wonderful things:
1. Insure the peace Of the Pa.
cific;
3. End competitive navy build
ing:
8. Save hundreds Of millions Of
dollars on pre-war expenditures
on armament:
1. Bring about an international
friendship which would do more
for world peace that anything
Wilson had ever proposed.
GOT AWAY WITH IT."
And he ''got away with it." The
members of the conference were
so completely under the influence
of the predecessor of DR.. Coue
that they never recovered and the
conference adjourned with this
combination of figures indel.
IDLY printed on their minds.

rubber is subjected to constant labo-
ratory tests. Walls, for one thing,
must stretch to nine times width and
then return to normal.
Today all standard tubes are built
of laminated construction. In other
words, they are built layer on layer
up to the proper ply. This construc-
tion Is made necessary by the fact
that rubber n its natural state is
q wretched air container. Both chem
fcally and physically it leaks air. BY
using number Of layers Of rubber,
