Commercial Policy of the State Department This New Scheme Calls for the Introduction of Good, Foreign Enterprises to the Business . - V V ; Men of the United States. .

BY-SIDNEY E8PEY. , - . Washington; May 14. Business men of the United States, permit then tate department to, Introduce you J to consult representatives , "ot the United States. l: . t s, :? The 'commercial policy of the state department, a program Inaugurate when Senator, Root was its head, and which has been strenuously pushed by Secretary ' Knox" since lie 'came into the office, in the main, calls for the education of the. United States business men the exporter and this becoming acquainted with the consular representatives of this government. It was Wilbur J. Carr, a. Ohio man, who is director of the consular serTlce, who reorganized the service, under. Senator Root's direction and it is Director Carr who is now traveling about the country addressing gatherings of exporters engaging them to write direct to American consuls in order to ascertain conditions and to obtain the aid of consuls in developing the foreign trade. At present the United States has a consular officer in nearly every port in the world where Great Britain, the loader in the movement has a representative. Director Carr is telling American manufacturers that English and German manufacturers have constantly before them a list of their countries' consular officers, and that the success of their trade development, especially in the Orient, is due to the close relations between the English and German exporters and their countries consular agents. The American exporter having long neglected the services of our representatives, the Btate department, in its new commercial policy is therefore in the attitude of begging Ameri

can manufacturers to "get acquainted" with this country's foreign representatives.

The Kidnoy Cure Without a Failure Tha Positive Cure That Revolutionize Treatmer.; of Kidney Diseases, Rheumatism and Bladder Trouble. These statements are not exaggerated. There is no necessity in doing; so, because every man and woman suffering from kidney or bladder troubles, or rheumatism can prove it within 24 hours by getting a free package of Dr. Derby's Kidney Pills at any drug store.

The state department, to the mind of the general public, is a drearysome place, overflowing with formality, stiff necks and silent as a church yard. Generally speaking this conception is correct, but at present there ia some person of frLvilous mind connected with the department, who leans too much to the human side of life to make the possessor a valuable adjunct to the solemn state department staff. A formal inquiry is being conducted to discover the identity of this frivolous person. The cause of the agitation is the finding on a blotter on the desk that stands at the entrance

of the room of Huntington Wilson, as- J

sistant secretary of state, the following verse: "Our eyes have met, "Our Hps, not yet, ' "But Oh vou kid. "I'll get you yet." The development of the efficiency of the naval reserves, or militia of the several states, is a subject to which deep thought 13 now being given by Secretary Meyer of the navy. Efforts are being made to secure needed legislation to promote naval militia efficiency. Commander C. C. Marsh, son-in-law of Rear Admiral Evans, retired has immediate charge of the state naval sailors. Like Director of the Consular Service Carr, Commander Marsh is frequently on the road visiting the headquarters of the various naval batallions and by hustling and lecturing, stirring up sentiment and enthusiasm for the service. Both men, it is said, have adopted the successful methods pursued by John Barrett when he took charge of the bureau of American re publics. No place on the map is too far away nor are personal conditions considered when either get an opportunity to discourse on their hobbies.

against the ship's score, "because it is reasoned, that if this target had been a torpedo boat the ship might have been destroyed. Each shot fired at night has a small red tracer attached, so they are easily discernible as they pass through the air. It makes the ship appear as if rockets were shooting from all sides, and naturally adds to the spectacular effect of the firing.

Dr. Derby's Kidney Pills are ahead of the times, the only kidney and bladder treatment that makes good Its strongest statement. Get a free package at your druggist's and see if we have said a hundredth part of what these little wonder-workers do. Now listen, sufferers, don't get excited. Just lay away all your present treatments for you kidneys, back or bladder. If you have pain in the back, profuse or scanty urination, colored or foul urine, rheumatism anywhere, diabetes, pain in the bladder or terrible Bright's disease, just get a 25c package of Dr. Derby's Kidney Pills at your druggist, and see the difference in yourself in 24 hours. If you think this is too good for you to believe just ask your druggist for a free sample package, and try it. Remember, Dr. Derby's Kidney Pills GO pills 10 days' treatment 25c. We will send them from the laboratory of Derby Medicine Co., Dept. 12, Eaton Rapids, Mich., if you wish. They are safe, guaranteed.

Calculations made roughly show that the Atlantic battleship fleet made Splendid records In the elementary target practice recently completed off the Virginia Capes. The Idaho, with a final score of more than fifty leads the fleet An idea of the excellence of the sVore may be gained when It is remembered that the U. S. S. Maryland, lader of the Pacific fleet, made a final score of 38 under the same conditions. This indicates that the Atlantic fleet once more has scored a victory over the Pacific fleet in target practice. The practice this year was under new rules which made it more difficult than ever before. Instead of firing at a stationary target in smooth, or land locked water, the vessels fired at a moving target in the open sea. Several remarkable records were made. The battleship Louisiana which last year broke the world's record with ons of her 12 inch turrets, equalled her score on one of her uns at this practice. One turret firing eight shots at the running target, made eight hits. Another turret, firing eight shots also made eight hits. On the second run, however the gunnery crews were so anxious to excel this record that they fired too fast and spoiled what otherwise would have been a generally excvellent score. The night firing especially was spectacular. Only the smaller guns were used at the night fire, the object of the practice being to protect a battle-ship against torpedo attacks. The ships steamed out into the black sea the commanders knowing that three or more targets were hidden somewhere. By the aid of the seacchlights these targets were picked up adn the threeinch guns immediately marked them as their prey. The scores are calculated to the time it takes a ship to put the targets out of commission. Should even one target be overlooked by the ship's commander it is regarded as a very grievous mistake and counts heavily

The action of Secretary of the Navy Meyer in ordering an end to the recent court of inquiry into the U. S. j Marine Corps squabble, and to the ! court that is investigating the charge that Commander Hill of the gunboat Marietta did not keep his ship clean has caused some criticism. The navy head, who is having the fight of his life with Congress to have his reorganization plan for the naval estab-j lishment adopted, is adverse to having the "dirty linen" of the service washed in public. The recent court ' martial of Paymaster Auld and Doc-!

tor Robinett at the Boston Navy Yard, with the attending sensational stories sickened the Secretary, it is said, and he then and there ordered the "lid" on.

The Blow of a Wavo. There is au instrument of English invention which is employed to determine the measure of the blow of a wave. This instrument was used to measure the wave blow off the Skerryvore rock. Scotland. There the waves sweep in from the wide Atlantic. In summer a force of over GOO pounds to the square foot was recorded, in winter as high as a ton to the square foot was attained. These figures give some idea as to what ships, lighthouses and other similar structures have to contend with during stress of foul weather.

Manchester Ship Canal. In order to construct the Manchester ship canal over 51.000,000 cubic yards bad to be excavated.

AN ARCTIC CAMP. Peary's Canvas Tents. Which Were Absolutely Snow Proof. "A man's first night in a canvas tent in the arctic is likely to be rather wakeful.- says Commander Peary in Hampton's. "The Ice makes mysterious noises, the dgs bark and fight outside the tent, whore they are tethered, and as three Eskimos and one white

man usually occupy a small teut and! the oil stove Is left burning all night j the air, notwithstanding the cold, 1st not overpnre, and sometimes the Eski

mos begin chanting to the spirits of their ancestors in the middle of the night. Sometimes, too. the new man's nerves are tried by hearing wolves howl in the distance. "The tents are specially made. They are of lightweight canvas, and the floor of the tent is sewed directly into it. The fly is sewed up, a circular opening in it just "large enough to admit a man, and that opening fitted with a circular flap, which is closed by

a drawstring, making the teut abso-1

lately snow proof. An ordinary tent when the snow is flying would be filled in no time. "The tent is pyramidal, with one pole in the center, and the edges are usually held down by the sledge runners or by snowshoes used as tent pegs. The men sleep on the floor in their clothes with a musk ox skin or a couple of deerskins wrapped around them. "The kitchen box for our sledge journeys is simply a wooden box containing two double burner oil stoves with four inch wicks. The two cooking pots are the bottoms of five gallon coal oil tins tit ted with covers. When packed they are turned bottom side up over each stove, and the hinged cover of the wooden bex is closed. "On reaching camp, whether tent or snow igloo, the kitchen box is set down inside. The top of the box is turned up and keeps the beat of the stove from melting the wall of the Igloo or burning the tent. The hinged front of the box is turned down and forms a table. The two cooking pots are filled with pounded Ice and put on the stove. When the ice melts one pot is used fer tea and the other may be used to warm beans or to boil meat if there is any. "Each man has a quart cup for tea and a hunting knife which serves mjuiv cr.-Q5pjs. He does not carry a

fork, - "in iruiuj is t'ubttli'reo. quite enougn fer a party of four. Each man helps himself .from the pot sticks in his knife and fishes out a piece of meat: . ! "The theory of field work is that there shall be two meals a day. one in the morning and one at night, A a the days grow short the meals are taken before light and after dark. leaving the period of light entirely for wort Sometimes it is . necessary to travel twenty-four hours without stopping for food."

GROWS HAIR and wo can PROVE IT! A lady from Minnesota writes: "As a result of using Danderine, my hair is close to five feet in length." Beautiful Hair at Small Cost HAIR troubles, like many other diseases, have been wrongly diagnosed and altogether misunderstood. The hair itself is not the thine to be treated, for the reason that it is simply product of the scalp and wholly dependent upon its action. The scalp is the very soil in which the hair is produced, nurtured and grown, and it alone should receWe the attention if results are to be expected. Jt would do na earthly good to treat the stem of a lant with a view of making- it grow and become more beautiful the soil in which the plant grows must be attended to. Therefore, the scalp In which the hair grows must receive the attention if you are to expect it to grow and become mere beautiful. Loss of hair is caused by the scalp drying- op, or losing its supply of moisture or nutriment; when baldness occurs the scalp has simply lost all its nourishment, leaving nothing for the hair to feed upon (a plant or even a tree would die under similar conditions.) j The natural thing to do in either case, is to feed and replenish the soil or scalp as the case may be, and your crop will grow and multiply as nature intended it should. Knowlton's Danderine has a most wonderful effect upon the hair glands and tissues of the scalp. It is the only remedy for the hair ever discovered that is similar to the natural hair foods or liquids of the scalp. It penetrates the pores quickly and the hair soon shows the effects of its wonderfully exhilarating and life-producing qualities. One 25-cent bottle is enough to convince you of its great worth as a hair growing and hair beautifying remedy try it and see for yourself. NOW at all druggists In three sizes, 25c. 50o and 91.00 per bottle.
