Haskin rious states had grown to a strength of about 4,000. When volunteers were called for from among these organiza tions there were more than 4,000 men who responded, this being possible on account of the return of many men who had left the service. There were 856 volunteer naval of ficers in the Spanish American War who had been trained in the naval militia. These officers and men per formed very important service. Many of them went direct to the fighting ships of the fleet. Many others served in the coast guard and signal corps. ■Numbers of yachts and other vessels were converted into war craft and |cruised up ond down the coasts. These i vessels were usually manned by na val militiamen with a single officer I from the regular service. There were ten monitors in this auxiliary naval force, besides ten yachts, five tugs and 41 other vessels. Their patfol of the coasts and mine fields was an effective protection. This showing in the Spanish Ameri can War placed the naval militia on its feet. The following year there were about 7,000 officers and men in this service. The federal government was loaning naval officers for their drilling, and asking appropriations from which to provide them with uni forms, guns and ammunition. This year the NaVy Department has ia total of $450,000 that it is author- I ized to spend on the naval militia. This is considerably augmented by State funds which are still appro priated for the aid of these establish ments. Full Equipment Federal money is used, in the first place, for the purchase of uniforms. Each man is provided with the regu lar army rifle and 100 rounds of am munition. Officers are given revol vers and ammunition for practice. Then every naval reserve armory must have its loading machines. These contrivances are dummies which rep resent the big guns aboard ship. These big guns require crews of different sizes ranging from three to twenty. , Their loading is a matter of team work and requires a great deal of drilling before the crews become pro ficient. But the final event of the year, for which the federal government now pays, is the annual cruise. Every or ganization in every State has a few weeks aboard ship each year. While officers and privates are on this cruise they receive the same compensation that is paid to men of similar rank in the regular army. If their service requires any travel, they likewise re ceive transportation such as naval of ficers and men are given. A still more interesting phase of the naval militia work is the development of the aero corps. The Aero Club of America has arranged to co-operatc directly with different States and fur nish volunteer aviators, mechanicians and machines. New York already has its corps established. The District of Columbia has commissioned an avia tion officer, who is an active flier, and he is starting the development of a corpH. Cleveland and Chicago like wise will soon have men able to take to the air and furnish the eyes that have now become so necessary in war. As the United States is particularly lacking In aviators. It Is held that this branch of the naval militia will be of specially valuable service in time of] oaud.

Many Children Suffer From Kidney Trouble Three years ago my little girl, Angela, was taken sick with scarlet fever and later dropsy set in; her face and limbs swelled and her eyes puffed. A leading physician here at the time, treated her without the slightest suc cess. A sample of your Swamp-Root having been left at the house at the time, • I resolved to try it, and as it agreed with her stomach 'X continued using it with gratifying results. The inflammation began to subside after she had taken the first fifty-cent bot tle, and after she took two large bot tle she was pronounced cured by the doctor and has been in good health ever since. The doctor came to see her every day and examined her every second day until he pronounced her kidneys in perfect condition. Now then the doctor was under the Impression that I was giving my girl his medicine, but as his medicine had failed to do a bit of good, and desir ing not to offend him, I did not tell him I was giving her Swamp-Root and he did not know the difference. I did not use one drop of his medicine after T started my girl on Swamp-Root and have always felt that Dr. Kil mer's Swamp-Root saved my girl's life, for which T am grateful. I cannot praise it too highly. Very truly. MRS. MART BYRNE. New Brunswick, N. J.

Everyone Should Drink Hot Water in the Morning Wash away all the stomach, liver, and bowel poisons / before breakfast. To feel your best day in and day out, to feel clean inside; no sour bile to coat your tongue and sicken your breath or dull your head; no constipation, bilious ettacks, sick headache, colds, rheuma tism or gassy, acid stomach, you must bathe on the inside like you bathe out side. This is vastly more important, because the skin pores do not absorb impurities into the blood, while the bowel pores do, says a well-known physician. To keep these poisons and toxins well flushed from the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels, drink before breakfast each day a glass of hot water with a tpaspoonful of limestone phos phate in it. Tlii-; will cleanse, purify and freshen the entire alimentary tract before putting more food into the stomach. Get a quarter pound of limestone phosphate from your pharmacist. It Is inexpensive and almost tasteless, ex cept a sourish twinge which is not unpleasant. Drink phosphated hot water every morning to rid your sys tem of these vile poisons and toxins; also to prevent their formation. To feel like young folks feel; like you felt before your blood, nerves and muscles became saturated with an ac cumulation of body poisons, begin this treatment, and above all, keep it up! AB soap and hot water act on the skin, cleansing, sweetening and purifying, so limestone phosphate and hot water be fore breakfast act on the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels.—Adv. #\SAFErrI W FIRST 1 Th« object or "Sat«y First" ta prevention.
