Deplores Lack of Logical Development in U. S. Navy By Associated Press Washington, April 12. Lack of logical method in the development of the American Navy was deplored by Rear Admiral Bradley A.

The admiral did not appear in person, his paper being read by a delegate. "In the elementary parts of the naval profession," said the paper, "we do very well. But of the higher branches, particularly of strategy we have little clear conception. If we compare the strategical methods em ployed by. say Germany and us, we are forced to admit that the German j methods are better adapted to pro-1 duce economically a navy fitted to 1 contend successfully in war against I an enemy. In Germany the develop- J mcnt of the navy has been strictly along the lines of a method carefully devised beforehand: in our country no method, at least no logical method, whatever is apparent."

CHILDREN WE WORRY ABOUT Close confinement in school during the past winter, overstudy perhaps, an attack of the grip or tonsilitis, some one of these things is doubtless respon- j si ble for the condition of the child who fihows a decline in health now. What are the symptoms? Pallor and languor, a fickle appetite, dark rings under the eyes, bronchial colds. Very often the best efforts of the family physician fail in such cases and the condition of the child causes the most intense anxiety. Cod-liver oil, sooften prescribed, generally fails because the weak stomach is unable to digest fate, Try this treatment. Before break last each morning give the child the juice of half an orange. Afterthenoon | I meal give one of Dr. Williams' Pink j Pills. Keep this up for a few days and | i then give one of the pills after the ; evening meal a'.so. Weigh the child ; before beginning the treatment and again after two weeks. An increase in 1 weight of from two to five pounds will show you that you are on the right I track at last. Care is necessary in the I diet of the patient and it will be well ' to send to the Dr. Williams Medicine I I Co., Schenectady, N. Y., for a diet !| ■ book and the pamphlet, "Building Up !! | the Blood." Both are free. Your own 1 druggist sells Dr. Williams' Pink Piila.
