MAKING CIVILIAN
SAILORS
[Continued From Editorial Page.]
By Frederic J. 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.

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.
