LOOSE TALK.
!Since the outbreak of complications abroad there has been a section of the press in this country that has spent its tiinie mourning the decline of the American navy. No facts tvere offered, nor was any testimony asked, but they simply stated that the American navy had gone to pot and was a hulk on t&e beach, deteriorated beyond repair. i"As president of the general board for fifteen years, I can say with absolute confidence that the efficiency of the fleet has steadily progressed and has never been so high as it is today, declared Admiral George Dewey connection with the review of the American naval fleet in the IH'ew York harbor this -Ave.ek. There will be no inclination to question his judgment Nor will one take Issue with his further statement: ^'We need more ships, more officers and men, and should"continue the wis*policy of increasing the size of the navy which must ever remain our first and best line of defense."
in
The admiral speaks as one with ample experience and. opportunity for observation but without further ambitions in the line of active service. He has none of the politician's incentive to shout for larger armaments.
His testimony constitutes a sufficient answer to those who have been parade ing the false assumption that the United States navy has been neglected, and that America's first line of defense is.a safeguard of.mere paper.
GERMANY.
The Chicago-Tribune yesterday contained 'an editorial on the diplomatic relations between thii nation and Ger"^*"iny, and expressed thie following pinion: "We are .unable to .tjelielve that-£h«J ammunition in the hold of the I^usitania was the biit which drew the submarine attack. We are' .forced to believe that the object of the attack was the boat itself. That is opinion. The fact is that the ammunition was there.
It does not matter whether $200,000 worth be considered a small or large amount. We are insisting upon principles and we must reason justly."
This view was expressed in these columns the day after the Lusitania was sunk.
:In
its last analysis, did
England contend for such rights as it has been intimated she would, a few -neutrals could be induced to accompany each ship which could then claim protection no matter what her port nor how much ammunition she carried. It requires ho argument to show that such terms would be an outrageous infliction on the Germans, who England admittedly is trying to starve, so if the
German emperor in his letter to President Wilson sets up counter propositions that do not seem to square with the American demands, the public will .understand that he has debatable reason therefor.
TEAM WORK.
In a report just issued by the Pennsylvania raijroad it is shown that a very high per cent of the employes of that institution remain with the company until pensioned off or until they die. In normal times the Pennsylvania -.system has 250,000 employes. The company has always paid the highest prevailing rate of wages paid to railroad employes in the territory in which it operates. But more than that: The
KEEP THE KBMIEYS WELL
Health Is Worth Saving, and Some Terre Haute People Know How to Save It.
Many Terre Haute people take ti.eir lives in their hands by neglecting the kidneys when they know these organs need help. Weak kidneys are responsible for a vast amount of suftering and ill health—the slightest delay is dangerous. Use Doan's Kidney Pills —a remedy that has helped thousands of kidney sufferers. Here is a T-srre Haute citizen's recommendation:
Robert Allen Cox, 1301 S. 13th St., Terre Haute, says: "I was taken rather suddenly with a severe pain in the small of my back. It got so bad that I was laid uu, unable to do any work. For three weeks my kidneys were in bad shape and I didn't rest well. A friend who worked with me told me to get Doan's Kidney* Pills. I took twj boxes and got. better.- I haven't had a bit of trouble from my back or kidneys since."-
Price 50c at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy—-ger Doan's Kidney Pills—the sams that Mr Cox had. Foster-Milburn Co.. Propf?-» Buffalo, N-
policy of the Pennsylvania railroad ha^s been to insure that all its relations with its men should be characterized by fairness and friendliness.
The management of the Pennsylvania railroad believes that the best test of the sincerity of its interests in the welfare of its men is the fact that so large a percentage of Its employes have made the service of this company their life work.
The rules governing the "organization" of the- Pennsylvania Railroad company include everyone in the service, from the board of directors to the laboring man of the track. Now, the fundamental principle of that organization is that responsibility is properly placed, from the board of directors and the president down to the-Jowest man, and regulations or rules have graduallybeen adopted and recorded which describe the various duties.
The company's offlcers now believe that the experience embodied in its present form of organization is the surest guarantee of efficient and economical performance of the company's public service.
TETHERING THE JITNEY.
Officers of the National Association of Jitney Drivers complain that in places where the traction interests hold sway that licenses and regulations are being inflicted on the little bus that threatens to stifle it. Though no statistics or reliable data on the subject are available, according, to all indica tions the number of jitney busses has decreased materially in the last two months. In part this decrease was due to an oversupply with the-consequent reduction of average1 earnings. Other bus owners dropped out because they found the business unprofitable,, but the heaviest percentage of the decline -is due to the regulative measures adopted by the authorities. In Oakland, CaL, in Los Angeles, in Portland, throughout the state of Washington the diminutive carriers were obliged to take out accident Insurance in. amounts ranging from $1,600 to $10,000 a car several cities, notably Oakland, Portland, Reno, Phoenix and Boise, placed heavy special tapces on the jitneys. Perhaps the most drastic of the ordinances is Boise's. The* minimum tax i» $75 a year, payable In advance, plus indemnity insurance to the amount of .$10,.000 a car. The operator must obtain a permit from-the city council, must file a map of the route and a schedule of operation which mu,st .be maintained rigidly if the-permit is not to be withdrawn. In addition the driver must be able to "carry on an intelligent conversation" in the English language, probably fof the benefit of female passfcjigers. The ordinance has the sup
port of the 'Boise-puffllc, especially of the suburbanites who believe that they, will find themselves without trolley service if the jitneys are allowed to skim the cream of the short-haul business. Despite the decrease in the number of vehicles operated, the jitney bus has come to stay. But regulation has come to stay, likewise.
RULE OF THUMB.
Some states halve been worrying with the problem of eugenics, which has been eocpected to simplify some matters, but here comes a new theorizer with even a less complicated system. Psychology and a tape measure are all that is needed to determine human temperament and insure happy marriages. At least, that's the statement made by a learned Massachusetts scientist and educator, who adds that if theie is no supply of psychology near at hand, .the tape measure alone will serve. In short, the affinity who is to ensure marital happiness can be found and labeled and classified and properly distributed by the learned professor.
As an example of his uncanny skilluncanny, at least, from the bachelor point of view—the savant uses the governor of the Massachusetts commonwealth, his excellency, David I. Walsh, to point his moral and adorn his system. The governor, through bonie strange, oversight, is the bachelor executive of a state overcrowded by an excess of spinsters. Now that the new rules assume him a life partner without a flaw, it is doubtful if any-reason can be found for prolonging his celibacy.
Here is the tape-measure affinity who measures up to the gubernatorial standard: "She must weigh from 141 to 1' pounds: be five feet three inches tr five feet six inches tall be tactful, be i-heer-ful be sympathetic, be amhitiftlis: be able to sing in a mezzo-soprano voice."
And now from Annisquam to old Mt. Tpm tape measures are snapping and fountain pens scratching and mezzosopranos shrilling.
But what says Lord Cupid? Will it content him to load his- q-uiver with tape reels and. Muensterberg handbooks?
"CASTLES IN SPAIN."
For a number of years the Terre Haute descendants of Anneke Jans contributed money to continue the legal fight to recover a section of Manhattan island, largely covered by New Tork, but each assault failed. It seems that Anneke's heirs in other parts of the country have joined in the rase. Anneke Jans, who later became a Bo--X".".
gardus, dwelt on the island whoa Wouter Van Twiller was governor. She is said to have left lands which since have become ot incalculable value, and the chase for which has furnished a lot of excitement.
It seems to have ^been proved satisfactorily that some descendant of Anneke bans sold out in 1705 to Sir John Lovela&e, the English governor. Sir John disposed- of the land to Trinity church, which now holds it^ and which from tiftie to time successfully defends itself against. Attacks by the multir tudinous descendants of Mrs. Bogardus.
Last week a new suit was instituted. Enough-heirs were found to put up the required money to file the papers and pay the lawyers. The case will have to be thrashed "6'er for the' dozenth time. Musty old archives will be produced, and quaint old maps. The courr will go back to American antiquity, and consult learned research works. And in the end the decision will bo against the plaintiffs.
Hope springs eternal, and this is good thing. Everyone enjoys reading about the Anneke Jans case once in a while. It is an old friend, and will be missed when it is definitely abandoned.
The tailors of Chicago are trying to give .esthetic touch to the municipal management of that city by persuading the councilmen to wear evening clothes during their sessions. That would be a sight worth going miles to avoid.

SAGE TEA HI TO ANY SHADE
Don't Stay Gray! Here's a Simple Recipe That Anybody Can Apply With a Hair Brush.
The use of Sage and Suiphur for restoring faded, gray hair to its natural color dates back to grandmother's time. She used it to keep her hair beautifully dark, glossy and abundant. Whenever her hair fell out or took on that dull, faded or streaked appearance, this simple mixture was applied with wonderful effect.
But brewing at home is mu&sy and out-of-date. Nowadays, by asking a*, any drug' store for a 50 cent bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound," you will get this famous ok1, recipe which can be depended upon to restore natural color and beauty to the hair and. is splendid for dandruff, dry, feverish, itchy scalp and falling hair.
A well-known downtown druggist says it darkens the hair so naturally and evenly that nobody can teil it has been applied. You simply dampen a sponge or soft brush wicn it and draw this through your hair, taking one strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears, and after another application or two, it becomes beautifully dark, glossy, soft and abundant.

Friday, May 21, 1915.
Influences in the morning of this day are not auspicious, for Uranus and Saturn are adverse. Later, Neptune is in beneflc aspect.
The government is not favorable for women, especially if they are sensitive to impressions, for restlessness, discontent, and vain ambition are said to be caused by the evil power of Uranus.
It is time for avoiding new acquaintances. Friendships and courtships are said to be unlucky during this aspect.
Saturn is in a place held to be exceedingly unfavorable for the old. They should be careful not to' make Journeys or to run any risk of accident.
The violent death of a celebrated man, who has done tnuCh to- benefit humanity, is foretold.
There is a good sign for business affairs connected with shipping or aerial navigation. Builders of aeroplanes and war ships are subject to guidance that indicates extraordinary acheivements.
Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of an active and prosper ous year. Pleasure and recreation are presaged by the stars.
Children born on this day are likely to be high-strung, active and successful. As they are on the cusp they will mingle Taurus and Gemini characteristics and for this reason may find it difficult to concentrate on any vocation.

Terre Haute Case of Bed-Wetting Cured
Remarkable New Kidney and Bladder Remedy Accomplishes Wonders.
How many people in this city are taking Lloyd's Kidney Tablets, we wonder? There surely must be a great number to account for the many cases of kidney troubles, rheumatism, dropsy and backache that are being reported cured. This newspaper has already printed the remarkable experience of quite a number of our townspeople with this new- remedy and now here is another neighbor reporting great benefits. When will this end?
Mr. Ernest Shuman, of 414 South Fourth street, Terre Haute, Ind., says: "We doctored for over a year trying to cure our two children, aged 10 and 12, of bed-wetting. But the money was just thrown away as the doctor did not help them one bit. This trouble was very annoying. At night it seemed like the children had absolutely no.control of the kidney secretions. We did not know what, to do. Finally my attention was called to Lloyd's Kidney and Rheumatism Tablets, the new scientific prescription. We decided to give them a trial. After taking only one box, the children felt very much improved. In fact they are now better in every way, arid I give Lloyd's full credit for relieving them."
Lloyd's Kidney Tablets, referred to above, certainly seem to te bringing remarkable results everywhere. We advise everybody afflicted with kidney or bladder trouble, backache or rheumatism to try them. Just ask for a 50c nr $1.00 package of Lloyd's Kidney Tablets at any drug store.
Runt'n Pri.gr company especiallv recommends them and has them always in I stock.
