A QUICKER, BETTER
REMEDY FOR PAIN

1t is certain the hniment
used by big league baseball
stars must be the best money
can buy or they wouldn't use
it, because men like Ty Cobb,
Walter Johnson, Bucky Har-
ris, George Sisler and others
can't afford to be laid up
with rheumatism, lame back,
stiff, sore muscles or pains
for single day.
The liniment they use out at
the ball park works like lightning
and in a few hours relieves aches
and pains due to any cause as
proven a thousand times each
season, and yet this liniment they
use is so mild it wouldn't harm a
baby's skin and never blisters, no
matter how much you rub and
bandage it.
1t is named after the famous
athletic trainer, Mike Martin, the
man who for years was trainer
for New York Yankees, Cincin-
natl Reds" and now is trainer of

any person who suffers with

taached to the re-appointment OF
General Fries, as the chief Of the
baby Of the army, the chemical
warfare service. 1t is believed that
no better qualified officer than he
can be found for this Job.
Successors Mentioned.
The probabale successor OF Gen.
eral Richards, who Is credited with
building up the national guard to
its greatest peace-time size and its
present high state Of efficiency, is
a matter OF discussion. Among the
names suggested for this ofrlce are:
General J. Clifford Foster. adjutant
general Of the State OF Florida;
General Franklin w. Ward OF New
York; General william A. Ranpp Of
Missouri and Lieutenant Colonel
Clark c. Wren OF Texas. Colonel
Clark is now on duty with the Gen
eraI Staff Of the War Department.
1t is believed that either Gen.
erals Ward or Raupp, with the
odds in favor OF the latter officer,
win be selected for the office.
1t is firmly believed that Cen,
eral Farnsworth will be re-appointed
to his office TO serve until he Is
retired, in October. 1895. It il then
possible that Brigadier General
Briant H Wells, the present com.
mandant of the infantry school at
Fort Benning, will be selected as
the successor to General Farms
worth.
IT. is believed that General Snow
will find no opposition to his re.
appointment as chief or field
artillery. He has served with the
rank Of major general and chief OF
the field artillery since appointment
on July l.. 1920, prior to which he
served with the rank OF brigadier
general and chief OF field artillery,
since February 10, 1913.
Navy Post to Be Filled.
There win be two very important
posts in the Navy Department to be
filled, during the expiration OF tour
OF duty, before the end OF the fiecal
year. Rear Admiral Julius l.. LAti-
mer, Judge advocate Of the navy,
win finish his tour Of duty on
April 81 and Rear. Admiral william
A. Moffett, chief OF the Bureau Of
Aeronautics, win complete his tour
on July rs. 1t is believed that both
officers will receive reappointments
to their office. Rumors in the air
are to the effect that Admiral Lati.
mer would prefer a sea command.
but IL offered reappointment, he will
accept.
1t is believed that Admiral Mot
felt would prefer to remain at the
head OF the Bureau OF Aeronautics.
The overhaul schedule for the bat
tieships for the year 1926 is again
under discussion as numerous
changes have been found necessary
due to the large amount of work
required by several ships. Every eff.
fort will be made TO take as many
ships as possible on the Hawaiian
and Australian cruise and at the
same time make ali necessary re-
pairs on the ships requiring them.

formed the fleet that no officers will

The commandment Of the coast
guard has approved the finding OF
a board of inquiry convened fof
the purpose of inquiring into the
alleged loss of motOrboot K-14S69.
The alleged loss of this craft, with
its two occupants was the occa-
sion for much criticism, some of
which reflected unduly on the
coast guard, and it is a matter OF
service satisfaction to know that
the findings of the board, composed
OF experienced and able officers,
show the accident due to no fault
of thee personnel of the guard, and
entirely an accident of the sea
beyond human control.
The K-1486e; was an open boat.
which became disabled on December
20, around midnight, while about
twenty-five miles southeast of Am
brose light vessel and close by "a
reputed rum vessel. The coast
guard answered the calls for assist.
ance and took the motorboat in
tow. placing two Of the crew on
the patrol boat and leaving two on
board the motorboat for steering.
When about a mile from the
light vessel, the hawser lookout
noted the dining of the two's light.
and thinking something wrong, the
haWser was hauled in and found
to have attached to its end the
towing post of the motorboat.
A thorough search in the vicinity
failed to reveal any trace of the
motorboat or its two occupants.

Made Wide Study.
Vaughan, who was on the Amer
lean Trade Commissioner staff at
johannesburg, made a wide study
OF the economic growth of South
Africa. Farming operations in the
Transvaal, according to his obser-
vstions, are proceeding on a larger
scale than ever before. Fruit cul-
ture, particularly that Of the citrus
varieties, is given much attention.
Experts have been imported from
the United States to take charge
and instruct farmers in citrus fruit
production, resulting already in
heavy exports of pineapples and
oranges to continental Europe.
American types of agricultural
implements are suitable to the South
African soil. and they are popular, !"
said Vaughn.
