All cough remedies nauseated me, and nothing afforded me relief until my doctor said rather in a joke, ‘I guess Peruna is the only medicine that will cure you.’ *‘l told him that I would certainly try it and immediately sent for a bottle. I found that relief came the first day, and as I kept taking it faithfully the cough gradually diminished, and the soreness left me. It is fine.”—Maggie Welch.

NAVAL OFFICERS ARE IN DEMAND

Secretary Moody Sets Forth Needs of His Department in Report. WANTS INCREASE IN THE FORCE Urges That More Midshipmen Be Secured for the Naval Academy and that 3,000 Enlisted Men Be Added to the Rolls,

Washington dispatch: The annual report of the secretary of the navy, submitted by Secretary Moody to the president, bears out the statements which have come from the navy department from time to time by expressing the keenest anxiety as to where the nation should find officers to command ships In case of need. Says the secretary: “The most imperative' need of the navy to-day is of additional officers. 1 cannot overstate this need. It Invites the instant attention of congress. The administration of the department is embarrassed almost daily by the lack of officers below command rank. This condition half been approaching for some years, and Was clearly apprehended and stated by my predecessor in office, ft is acute today, and, when the already authorized are completed it will be desperate unless there is early action.” Short of Officers. Other features in the report are subordinated to this acute need. Secretary Moody has gone into the matter In detail, and the outcome of his Investigation is that the navy is now short of 577 officers of the line to man the serviceable ships even with the minimum number of officers required. When the vessels now in course of construction are ready, 623 new officers will be required to man them, and in the meantime not less than 160 officers will leave the service through resignations, retirements, and deaths, so that four years from now the navy in the matter of officers under present conditions will be left, the report says, in this state: Deficiency in old ships, 577 officers; needed for new ships, 623 officers; needed to fill vacancies, 160 officers—total deficiency, 1.300 officers. To supply the deficiency, the secretary expects, under existing conditions, 355 graduates from the Naval academy during the four years, and not more than six per annum of enlisted men who may be raised from the ranks. Asks More Midshipmen. The secretary would meet this difficulty in the first place by increasing the number of enlisted men permitted by the law to receive commissions from six annually to twelve, and by increasing the number of midshipmen at Annapolis immediately. He submits to congress recommendations to that effect and emphasizes most strongly the need for adopting them. He says: “The officers we need can be obtained from three sources only—by appointment from civil life, by promotion from the ranks, or by education and training in the Naval academy. The first source has been so uniformly rejected by the opinions of all that I will not discuss it. Congress has indicated its opinion by abandoning this method in the army and marine corps, and would not, it is assumed, adopt it for the line of the navy. The law already allows promotion from the ranks of not exceeding six enlisted men per annum . . . and under this law there have been up to the present time three warrant officers commissioned as ensigns. I recommend that this law be amended to permit the promotion of not more than twelve per annum. Depends on Academy.' “But the main source of our supply of officers must be from the Naval academy. The duties of the modern Ea val officer are so varied and complex that they demand a rigorous and protracted education and training. This training and education can best be obtained at the national school at Annapolis. That school produces officers the equal of any in the world. “I therefore earnestly recommend that -without a year’s delay the number of midshipmen at the academy be increased sufficiently to meet the present and prospective needs of the service." \ “The present number of enlisted men authorized by law is 28,000. By enlistment since the close of the fiscal year the number of men in the service has been brought up to 25,258 on Nov. 15, current, and It is believed that by February next the full number authorized will be enlisted. The same reasons which demonstrate the necessity for an increase of officers call for the Increase of men. The Increase can bp made gradually and I recommend that an addition of 3,000 be authorized during the next fiscal year.”

SEVENTY-FIVE TONS A MINUTE

Over 5,000 Tons of Iron Ore Loaded In an Hour—All Ore Loading Records on the Great Lakes Are v Broken. Iron ore was loaded yesterday at the Chicago A North-Western Docks at Ashland, Wis., at the tremendous rate of speed of 6,000 tons an hour. The exact figures were 6,202 tons in one hour and eight minutes, the ore being loaded into the steamer James H. Hoyt, which is built with a special view to rapid loading and unloading. The North-Western Line has two big ore docks at Ashland, each one of them about 1-3 of a mile long, and it was at one of these large storage docks that the Hoyt received its load in rec-ord-breaking time. Supt. Sampson of the North-Western personally supervised the loading, and several newspaper men witnessed it and corroborated the correctness of the record. The last ore was let Into the hold, and the lines were cast off in record-break-ing time, in fact, the engineer of the boat hardly found time to get the water ballast out of the vessel. This rapid work Is made possible by the exceptional facilities of the NorthWestern line. Large capacity cars and big docks with large storage capacity have made the handling of tremendous quantities of ore possible. The docks of the North-Western line at Ashland and Escanaba have a capacity exceeding that of any other line In the Lake Superior region, to which Is to be added one new building, which, when completed, will increase their capacity almost 60 per cent and be the largest ore dock on the Lakes.

NOT BUILT FOR THE JOB.

Girl Explains Why She Quit Teaching Sunday School. A West Philadelphia girl who recently started to teach a Sunday school class has given it up as a bad job. “I am not built that way," she said, In explaining to several friends why she had thrown up the sponge and retired from the ring. “It’s all due iq my temper, which Is by no means angelic—and It requires an angelic disposition to lead a Sunday school class of small boys In the way they should go. There was one young Imp named Paul, who was the limit. If I ever get to heaven and meet Paul, one or the other of us will have to quit. He had annoyed me from the first, but the end came that Sunday when the lesson was about turning your other cheek If your enemy smites you. Just In what I thought was the most interesting part of the lesson, and when I could almost smell the halo singeing my hair, Master Paul surreptitiously pulled out all my hairpins and down It came all about my‘ shoulders. Forgetting all about the lesson, I turned and slapped him In the face. Then I threw up the job.”— Philadelphia Record.

SUBSTITUTION.

Please listen to a short talk upon a most vitally Important subject—one which is greatly disturbing the business world to-day. You have doubtless heard ot the word '’substitution.” You have probably read that “substitution is fraud.” Tack that saying firmly in your mind and keep it there. It is worth something. it is true —almost invariably. You call at a store and ask for an article of a certain brand or manufacture. one which has been thoroughly advertised for years, and which has earned an excellent reputation. The dealer says “here’s something jUBt as good for less money." That dealer thereby usually tellß a direct falsehood. He knows that the article which he offers you at a lower price is Inferior, but the point is that it yields him a greater profit; hence his desire to substitute. You may ask if an article is superior Just because it is advertised. Yes, it is, and here’s why. The many wellknown houses which Bpend millions of dollars every year in the good publications of the country are managed by men of brains and wide business experience, and these men know only too well that unless an article has merit there is absolutely no business sense in spending good money to advertise it. It does not pay to advertise any article of general use for a short time only. Every advertiser must frait some time before his advertising has created the desired impression and while he is waiting his goods must have time to prbve whether or not they are good. If they are good, they stick; if not, they do not, and if they were not good and did not stick, would this experienced business man continue to spend good money advertising the goods—throw good money after bad as it were? Never! He has too much business sense. The average article which you see advertised month after month in good publications is Itself good. Buy an advertised article. It is the true safe way. When you are buying ask for what you want and get what you ask for. Remember! "Substitution is Fraud.” —Pearson’s Magazine.

Their Opinion of the War.
