COMMON-SENSE TRUTHS. An Able Physician Explains the After- Only Thing to Do. “It is a very slow process!”* The speaker was a prominent physician. Con- timuing, be said: “I mean getting over the after effects of the grip. Any one who has seen as much of it as I have can easily understand it. The grip lasts for &@ long time, and it seems to take a special hold upon the system. It frequeutly runs into pneumo- nia, sometimes leaves the hearing partially im- paired, the throat with am frritating soreness and the stomach with impaired digestion. It seems to take a long time to recover the strength, the ea- ergy or the ambition after one bas had a run of the grip. and we frequently find neuralgia, rheama- tism ond even worse things following it. “Now, what should any sensibie man or woman @o under these cizcumstances? The auswer seems hard, but {s really easy. Simply help Nature to get over the trouble—stimulate the body and fac- ulties just a little. This is what every good pby- siclan in the land advocates in order to drive grip out of the system. It should he remembered, bow- ever, that the stimulant must be pure, and that nothing for this purpose is equal to good whiskey. it is unfortunate, however, that there is so little pure medicinal whiskey to be found, and, in fact, it cam be truly said that there is but one strictly medicinal whiskey upon the market, and that is Daffy’s Pure Malt. It is not like ordinary whiskey, however much druggists and grocers may say 50. It has, im fact, properties powessed by no other, and is beyond question a stimulant which can saf@y and effectually be taken to prevent the grip or drive away its most disastrous atter-effects.”” Trusses Abdominal Supports, urgical Elastic Hosie And Other Appliances GCENTIFICALLY FITTED Qc “MERTZ'S PRICES" in our PRIVATE PARLORS.

Changes in the Statas and Organiza- tion of Both Staff and Line Officers Needed. The joint congressional committee, con- sisting of members of each house of Con- gress, appointed to investigate the per- sonnel of the navy, has begun its prepara- tions for work in hand and a determina- tion is expressed to make the investigation as thorough as may be practicable, with the hope of being able to make some recom- mendations which will remedy such evils as now exist. The need of the reorganiza- tion to which this investigation looks is not new. Its importance has long been recognized by the Navy Department and by Congress, but it has remained unacted upon because of a want of time and a failure to secure concerted action. It is proposed to try to find a proper and line of the navy as well as to provide @ means of promotion for the enlisted men and to find a means other than that of seniority of service for securing promo- tion. The Staff Corps. Much conflict of opinion exists as to the | crsanization and Status of the staff of the |navy, this being especially true of the en- | gineer corps. Some contend that the pres- | ent authorized force is greater than is need- ed; others that the number is inadequate and should be enlarged. The former class argue | that skilled ergineers are needed, mainly | for the purpose of construction and scientific | work on shore, and that separate corps of | Sea-going engineers, drawn from the ma- |ehinist trade, would prove sufficiently ef- ficient under the general supervision of the line officers. The committee will try to decide between the two factions and make a recommendation in accordance with the facts as they are found to exist. Officers of the Line. The advocates of a change in the regula- | tlons controlling the line officers, including the Navy Department officials, contend that @ radical modification of existing laws must be made to prevent the personnel from be- comirg totally inefficient from congestion and paralysis. retirements are very Promotion consequently few. By the act of 3882 a reduction of twenty-nine was made in the number of rear admirals, commo- dores, captains and commanders. This put a@ stop to promotion in taking away #0 many possible vacancies: and these being at the head of the list, the effect was felt through every grade. During the war the Naval Academy was crowded because of the then felt want of educated naval officers and cadets were passed through to gradua- tion with the utmost rapidity. In 1865 there were 455 midshipmen in the academy, and this number practically held up for :everal years. The requirement for their services suddenly fell off, and the navy was unable to absorb and provide p-omotions for the graduates. Fifteen of the greduates of 1868, the foremost men in the class, became in 1872, at the age of twenty-four, Heuten- ants, and at the age of forty-six they still hold the same rank. Slow Promotion. As an illustration of the way the present system works, it is calculated that of the eighteen line officers of the navy at present, | who entered the service prior to 1860, there will be twelve remaining ten years hence. Of the 205 who entered between 1860 and 1867 it is estimated that at the beginning | of 1904 there will be stilLalive and in service 180. The senio> of these 180, who will be at the head of the date of 1860, will be the seventh commodore, and the junior who whl be at the foot of the date of 1867 will be the forty-fifth lieutenant commander. The latter officer will have been in the ser- vice thirty-five years, and if entered at the age of sixteen will be fifty-one years old. | Jf the rate of advancement at this point of the list be placed at ten per year (and reach the g-ade of commander thirty-nine , and one-half years after the date of entry, | and at the age of fifty-five and a half years he will have six and one-half years more of active service. They argue from this and other similar illustrations, that the present system of promotion by seniority, of rank only, pre- any officers who should be advanced in nk on account of merit, and the principal | end in view with the committee will be the | finding of a means of bringing about a | | change in this respect. | The Enlisted Men. There will also be an effort to provide a | means of promotion for the enlisted men of | the navy, as it is believed that this will | prove a strong incentive to more efficient service. It Is pointed out that the chances of preferment of this class of our seamen ere fewer than in many European countries. The committce will go into these and other questions, and hopes to be able, after a thorough inquiry and consultation with those who have given attention to the sub- ject, to répo->t a bill which will receive the Congress, and thus become a law. The joint committee is composed of Sen- | ators Butler, Blackburn and Hale, and Rep- resentatives Meyer, Money and Wadsworth. The Meeting This Morning. The joint subcommittee held a prelim- inary meeting this morning in the room of | the Senate committee on naval affairs, all | the members being presented. Senato-> But- | ler acted as chairman. The committee de- voted itself today to a general exchange of opinions as to how best to proceed to ac- complish the work required of it by the resolution under which the committee was appointed. There was no division of opin- ion as to the importance of a complete re- organization and the securing of a new system, and while the members manifested a thorough appreciation of the probable difficulties of putting the personnel of the mavy upon an entirely satisfactory basis, all expressed a desire to examine into the question thoroughly with a view to im- provement. It was decided to call upon the Secretary of the Navy for suggestions and advice, and later on in the investigation to | summon expe-ts and take testimony bear- | ing upon the subject in hand. The com- | mittee adjourned to meet at the call of the | chairman. | { —-o-- Army Orders. Post Chaplain Brant C.

Pension Fri sen. The pension bureau today received 2 telegram from Supervising Examiner A. D. Albert, now at Norfolk, Va., containing the information that Rosetta James had, today, | on two indictments, been convicted of per- jury; and also that Jane James had been convicted of the same crime, before the United States court now in session in that city. A communication was also received from Special Examiner J. F. Fitzpatrick, Chat- tanooga, Tenn., that Rev. C. W. Lewis, William Johnson and John Cry had been arrested for fraud in connection with - sion claims. Upon a hearing before Unit- ed States Commissioner Ewing, on the 3uth ultimo, each of the accused plead gullty to the charges, and they were all sent to jail in default of $1,000 bond. The Rev. C. W. Lewis confessed to illegally using the seal of @ notary public, and forging his name to pension papers, in several claims. The other two confessed to filing fraudulent claims.

The discovery of this product, and the demonstration of its remarkable qualities, has attracted the widest interest. Hitherto the common shortening has been lard, or indifferent butter. Every one has probably suffered occasional dis- comfort from lard-cooked food; while it is well known that thous- ands are obliged to abstainentire- fy from everything of that kind. To such people, CoTTOLENE is of peculiar value, widening as it does, the range of what may be eaten and enjoyed. CoTTOLENE isa cooking marvel. It comédines with the food—imparts to it a tempting color, a delicate flavor, and an appetizing crispness. No trace of greasiness remains to offend the taste, or disturb the digestion. CoTToLenE is worthy of the careful notice of all those who value good food, of itself or for its hygienic properties. Sold by Leading Grocers. Made only by N.X. FAIRBANK. & CO., CHICAGO and ST.

The applicants for help were numerous and the donors scarce. There was the usual number of non-resident appli- cants in attendance early in the morning, | | and they hung about the stove until the i number became so large that it was neces- sary to ask them for their room and tell them they could come at another time. The Merchants’ Parcel Delivery Company kindly | | offered the use of its wagons to assist in| | the delivery of the goods, as the wagons of | | Messrs. Woodward and Lothrop were too much engaged to do all the hauling. This morning a number of women and children | | were among those who called for assistance. Shoes were in great demand, and many per- sons who were virtually barefvoted were sent off with a good pair of second-hand footwear. One man who called was prominent in religious circles here several years ago. He has been drinking of late, and when he appeared this morning his body was hardly | | covered by the rags which were held to-/| | gether with pins. He was given a complete outfit. Agent Sweeny of the Children’s Aid Society found a poor man on the street this morning who told a piti- ful story concerning the needs of his wife and two children as well as himself. He said he had been out of employment all winter and that his wife and children were | | in need of food and fuel. According to his statement he had sold a large portion of his furniture, and only yesterday he sold his pipe for 2 cents and bought a pound of corn meal. He was assisted. During the day two wagons were em- ployed moving clothing and groceries to the several subdivisions of the Associated Charities, and one load of clothing was sent to the United Hebrew Charities for distribution. Since the opening of the com- mittee room in the Central Union Mission building it is thought that fully one thou- sand suits of men’s and boys’ clothing have been contributed. Groceries are still in de- mand and the stock of clothing now in the room is very small. It was stated this morning that those who are fitted out go away apparently per- fectly satisfied, but most of them return| | and want to make a change. No trades are made, because it is in this way that many of them endeavor to impose on the committee. Mr. W. J. Flathers has sent two tons of coal to the ninth precinct for the poor, and Mr. John F.
