hibited by the "plain privates" who
aided him in the exploit of sinking the
Merrimac in Santiago harbor in IS9S.
Mr. Hobson told how a thousand
men responded when Admiral Samp
son called for seven volunteers to as
sist Hobson in sinking the Merrimac as
a means of bottling up the Spanish
fleet in Santiago harbor. He told how
these men obeyed orders to the last
as the Merrimac sank in the waters
that lay the shores of Cuba, and how
at a time when It looked as if the
eight men would be executed by the
Spaniards for their daring act the
"plain privates" sent word to their
captain that their only wish was that
they might have another opportunity
to respond to the call of duty.
House Deeply Stirred
Hobson stirred the House as it has
not been stirred in a long time.
"Gentlemen," exclaimed Hobson,
"we have taken great responsibility
upon us here in this Congress, but I
want to tell you from knowledge that
the confidence you have placed in the
plain private who represents the plain
average American citizen out there at
the front when the drum beats, when
the flag flies and the thunder is in the
air—the confidence you may place in
them, and I may add in the officers
wbo command them, will not be mis
placed."
Hobson said he had served with the
plain private for eighteen yars.
"I remember well how I was first
impressed with the character and
spirit of-the private." he said.
"It was on a cruise. A gale had
increases the discomfort, because the
acid mixes with the fresh food and
turns it sour, making a lot more acid.
The acid condition causes food fermen
tation. which Irritates, distends and in
flames the tender stomach lining, and
it is not surprising that specialists say
acid stomachs are dangerous. This de
cidedly dangerous and uncomfortable
condition can he overcome either bv
following a strict diet or, and this is
far easier and more quickly effective,
by taking a teaspoonful of bisurated
magm-Ria in a quarter elassful of water
after meals to neutralize the acidity.

been blowing for forty-eight hour*
and the seas running high. Some mid
shipmen were sent over the mast
head. They were all seasick. It was
thought it would help them out to give
them a little exercise and they were
sent over the masthead. They did
not think to give them a warning not
to come down on the lee side, which
you should never do in a gale of
wind. You ought to go up on the
weather side and come down on the
side. But the order was
given for the midshipmen to go over
the masthead and they promptly did
so. and half of them had not got over
the crosstree when, one of them—a
nephew of Admiral Schley, a classmate
of mine—fell and struck the top of
the yard and went overboard.
All Eeager to Risk Lives
"A heavy sea was running. Prompt
ly the lifeboat was called for and the
crew responded. They had not been
more than half lowered before the
sea, which was running very heavy,
swamped the boat. It was not believ
ed the boat cc-ld live in that sea.
They called away the other lifeboat's
crew and they went back as cheerily
as though it were a dead calm and
they went out in that lifeboat to see
if they could save any of those who
were overboard. I have seen seamen,
the plain seamen, go overboard and try
to save a comrade and the officer of
the deck had to order no more to go
overboard a superfluity exposing
their own lives to save a comrade.
"This was my first introduction to
the spirit of this plain private. And,
remember, gentlemen, they are noth
ing but boys. The average age in the
fleet that is off the coast of Mexico to
day is 21 years.
! ''Perhaps I ought to give another
pereonal tribute to this private. A
. question came up—a little incident—a
; little expedition in my day. Being a
| naval constructor, knowing how to
: build ships. X naturally knew how to
'sink ships. The question of sinking
ships came up and naturally I wanted
Ito be associated with it. Seven men
i were wanted, and Admiral Sampson
i issued a call for seven men. The call
| was Issued from the flagship and more
j than a thousand responded.
i "The main trouble I had from that
| time to the time we started in was in
refusing the personal appeals of men
; who had been my old shipmates,
, pleading with me on personal grounds
| and on all other grounds to let them
jgo in.
"Ves, Poinsett and his comrades
; make me think of the time when, with
I those seven men gathered on the deck.
|we were slowly sinking. Only two tor
• pedoes went off. We had ten. but the
wiring and the batteries connected
i with the others had been broken and
jcut away and crushed before the time
. came and only two went oft. We went
! down slowly.
All Remained Cntll the Last
"The original plan was that if the
lifeboat would survive we would get
away from the ship and get out of It,
and the men expected to get away.
But the lifeboat was shot away, and
I therefore changed my plans en
tirely. but I did not explain it to them.
I can remember these seven men, too.
Shell after shell would come In. and
with every shell it would look to us
as though the next one surely would
get us. They would tear and cut
everything below and the men would
say, 'Now can we be off?* X would
say, 'No.' I said, 'No man can move
until further orders.' When the boil
er went up they said, 'Can we go?'
I said, 'No man will move until further
orders.'
"At last the ship gave a lurch, just
before she was going down, and heav
ed as though she would turn over on
us, and we heard the gurgling and
rushing sound of the whirlpool and
they said, 'Can we get off?' and I said,
'No, stay with me' and they stayed
with me, gentlemen, every last one of
them.
| "Now I have another little after
math thought of It. 3y 11 o'clock
that day we were In the Morro. All
the men were In one cell—seven men
in one dark cell. I knew It was a
question of their health and I called
upon the commandant to let one of
them come to me for instructions
about taking care of their health.
They sent Surratt In. and after he pot
his instructions he put his heels to
g-ether and saluted nd said: 'Sir, the
men asked me to bring you a mes
sage.' It looked as if they were get
ting ready to execute me. Everything
looked that way. There was that one
chance to send me a message. What
do you suppose that message was?
"I will not say how long a time we
stayed in the water whep they were
closing in on us with their launches,
and how the men thought they would
kill us if they caught us. I did not
tell them for hours what the orders
were, but just told them t< stand by
me, and you would think if a man got
clear of a thing like that he would not
want to go into it again. The mes
sage they sent to me was this—l re
member Surratt, with his heels to
gether, said:
" 'Sir, the men asked me to tell you
that they would go in with you again
to-night.' "
MM EX-MEMBERS

Names of Men Prominent in Last
Session Figure on the Pri
mary Nominations
SPEAKER NOT A CANDIDATE
John Scott, Senator Hall, Daniel J.
Shern and Taylor North
Not Running Now
More men who sat in previous legis
latures are candidates for nominations
for the general assembly of 1915 than
has been the ease in any year for elec
tion of members of the two houses
than usual. In the 2,000 or so names
on the big books in which candidacies
are registered on advance of the pri
maries at the Department of the Sec
retary of the Commonwealth are the
names of probably more than three
fourt... of the members of the last
House and of over half of the senators
whose terms expire with this year.
With the possible exception of Phil
adelphia every county has as candi
dates one or two or more of the men
who sat in its seats last session and
in Lackawanna, Lancaster, Luzerne,
Northampton an some other counties
the whole delegations are seeking re
nomination. In others it happens that
the men who contended for election
in November, 1912, are candidates
again and the men who defeated them
are also on the lists. In some coun
ties men who sat in the last House are
candidates for senatorial nominations.
Blair county furnishing a notable ex
ample in this respect
Just what will b* the character of
the campaign this year no one can
foretell now owing to the strenuous
manner in which the primaries are
being waged and the general decline
cf the Bull Moose party strength.
Chances are that some of the men
who rode into otflce on the wave of
two years ago will be unable to navi
gate very far this year and industrial
or war conditions may work unexpect
|ed ways. However, the nomination
I list shows at least that the next House
stands in a fair way to have many
experienced men, although Spea.er

Powell, J. K. P. Hall and John O.
Shf'.z, prominent figures of the Sen
ate. are not candidates again.
Incidentally it might be added that
the same efforts to gobble nomina
tions of all parties are under way in
I many counties.
If the primary act of 1913 was ever I
intended to break up the practice of |
raiding parties for nominations It does I
not seem to have worked, judging 1
from the manner in which papers have
been filed by Republicans and Demo-1
crats for the nominations of other j
parties. The Washington party nomi
nations appear to be as eagerly de
sired as were those of the Keystone j
party after Its disintegration of a
State-wide force began and there are 1
numerous instances where Republicans .
are candidates for nominations on 1
their own party, for ihe Democratic
and Washington nominations. The:
same is true in equal measure of Dem- I
ocrats. The few out and out Wash
ington party men who are candidates i
appear to have some leanings toward :
other nominations, too. Even the Pro- •
i hibitionists have not escaped as in a ;
j couple of instances men have gone af-j
| ter their nominations.
I The only party which appears to;
j have its list safe is the Socialist. It j
made up its own list and stuck to it, i
keeping other aspirants outside.

I Unsightly, Instantly Relieved |
I Paterson, N. J., Dec. 9, 1913: ' About
a year ago my face began to cr. ?k :
and get scaly in blotches. It soon got'
j worse and my face was all spotted and
rough, and It itched me very much at
! night, and caused me no end of dis- j
■comfort. After a month or su. pim- 1
pies and blackheads began to show, '
| first in small numbers and then gradu- i
! ally covering my entire face. It was '
lawful. The pimples were sore and'
! the rash was itchy and my fa" had
| a most unsightly appearance. I tried
different kinds of soaps, creams and ;
J massages and also a strict diet, but
I could get no relief. Resinol Soap
and Resinol .Ointment caused me in- i
stant relief. By the time another jar!
of Resinol Ointment and cake of Res!- !
nol Soap were gone, I can truthfully j
say that it was a complete cure. My
face had assumed its former color and <
looks, due to Resinol Soap and Resinol j
Ointment. They are, I think, the best ;
for any skin trouble." (Signed) Rob- i
ert Troyano, 269 E. 21st St.

Farewell
Constipation!
Here's Lax Links
In the most natural way Lax Links,
the candy laxatives, will free you from
a constipated condition. They are de- j
licious confections, flavored with the oil
of spearmint and they are not harsh in
their action; neither will they gripe or
pain. While they do not purge, their
action Is sure and they will do much
toward restoring the system to a nor- ,
mal condition, when dally doses will
not be necessary. They contain no
habit-forming or dangerous drugs and
can be safely given to children and j
invalids. In very obstinate cases, the j
eating of an orange with a I>ax L,lnk
will be found extremely beneficial. Rec- !
ommended by physicians, fold by all
druggists. 10c and 25c boxes. Wrll3 1
