Naturally fresh air could not enter. It was very warm, in fact so hot that the perspiration ran down on our fore- heads and into our eyes, carrying coal dust with it. It was not long before my companion almost suffocated and became prostrate. We worked with regu- lar miner’s lamps. I had a bucket of ‘water, which I threw on him to restore him. The coal continued to pour in for three hours, and finally, when the work- men quit on the outside for the day, we shoveled the coal away and got out. ‘That was the last time I went to a coal bunker. ¢ I later made a request to the cap- tain and ssked him to transfer me to the deck depa.runent. because I had been accustomed to working in the open air on the'farm and in the Army, and I felt that I was more set to that type of work.

The | pleasant, sugar-coated tablets are taken for bad breath by all who know them. Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets act gently but firmly on the bowels and liver, stimulating them to natural action, clearing the blood and gently purifying the entire system. They do that which dangerqus calomel does without any of the bad after effects. Olive Tablets bring no griping, | pain or any disagreeable effects. |ff Dr. F. M. Edwards discovered the formula siter 20 years of practice among patients afflicted with bowel and liver complaint, with the attendant bad breath.

That was my first experience with navigation, and I be- lieve this to be the foundation of my progress to the bridge. kind and courteous, and several who saw me at work assisted me. Later I obtained some books and delved more deeply into the subject. Along with this, of course, I was getting instruc- { tions in seamanship, gunnery and sail drill, but the routine was then inter- | “topsail | rupted by special orders as clewlines and buntlins weather topsail braces.” That was & signal to drop everything and get to the station for taking in sails. Another order that frequently inter- rupted my studies was ‘“ready about station for stays.” This means tacking ship. In those days we stood watch four hours on and four off, which is quite different from today with the tl&ree-wntch system—four on and eight off. Transferred to Solace. After my five years on the Hartford I was transferred to various cruisers and battleships, and in 1916 to the fleet re- serve. My first job was as third officer on the Solace.

Cascarets bring lasting relief from those symptoms of sluggish bowels, such as headaches, indigestion, bloating, no appe- tite, hallousncs-. etc., because they actually give the bowels as ‘much exercise as they get from eighteen holes of golf.
