We can hardly realize that of all the children born in civilized countries, twentytwo per cent. or nearly one~quarter, die before they reach one year; thirtyseven per cent,, or more than one-third, before they are five, and one-half before they are fifteen! We do not hesitate to gay that#timely use of Castoria would save a ma~ Jority of these precious lives, Neither do we hesitate to say that many of these infantile deaths are occasioned by the use of narcotic preparations. Drops, tinctures and soothing syrups sold for children'’s complaints contain more or less opium, or morphine, They are, in considerable quantities, deadly poisons, In any quantity they stupefy, retard circulation and lead to congestions, sickness, death, Castoria operates exactly the reverss, but you must see that it bears the signature of Chas, H. Fletcher. Castoria causes the blood to circulate properly, opens the pores of the skin and allays fover, Letters from Prominent Physicians addressed to Chas. H. Fletcher. Dr. A. F.

Down, of Philadelphia, Pa., says: “I have prescribed your Cas- toria in my practice for many years with great satisfaction to myself and benefit to my patients.” .Dr. Edward Parrish, of Brooklyn, N. Y., says: “I have used your Cas- toria in my own household with good results, and have advised several patients to use it for its mild laxative effect and freedom from harm.” Dr. J. B. Elliott, of New York City, says: “Having during the past six years prescribed your Castoria for infantile stomach disorders, I most heartily commend its use. The formula contains nothing deleterious to the most delicate of children.” Dr. C. G. Sprague, of Omaha, Neb., says: “Your Castoria is an ideal medicine for children, and I frequently preseribe it. Whils I do not advo- cate the indiscriminate use of proprietary medicines, yet Castoria is an exception for conditions which arise in the cars of children.” Dr. J. A. Parker, of Kansas City, Mo., says: “Your Castoria bolds the esteem of the medical profession in & manner held by no other proprie- tary preparation. It is a sure and reliable medicine for infants and chil- dren. In fact, it is the universal household remedy for infantile ailments.” Dr. H. F. Merrill, of Augusta, Me., says: “Castoria is one of the very finest and most remarkable remedies for infants and children. In my opinion your Castoria has saved thousands frem an early grave.

Lansing never has regard- ed himself as a part of the political side of the administration, but always has regarded himself as a trained man in international law called in to assist in | the solution of its legal problems. Through a lifelong training in inter- national law and the business of gov- ernments with each other, Mr. Lansing has become firmly established in the principles that govern foreign relations. His feet are planted firmly on the solid foundations of fact and principle; his act of this government in connection with its relations with the belligerent nations. ’ He has a passionate fondness for mathematics. It is his habit fre- quently’ to indulge in several hours of wrestling ' with problems in higher | mathematics as<a relief to his mind from the mental effort required in his official duties and to sharpen his fac- ulties in dealing with the problems of office. To his training {n mathemaiics, together with his long experience in the practice of the law, Lansing =t- tributes most of the success he has had. He once said he did not ces how training and experience have never ad- mitted the coming into play of any theories of government or doctrines for the attajnment of the idealist’s dreams. Other striking characteristics of Mr. Lansing are poise, calmness, capacity for unruffled deliberation, methodical ‘analytical habits of mind and an unfalling directness of word and act. Since he has been.in|the state depart- ment he has never been seen In the slightest degree perturbed or worried, though upon his shoulders have been any man could uhdertake the solutions of great problems without having had the mental discipline afforded by the {study of mathematics. Lansing has the faculty of drawing out others without revealing much thac is in his own mind. In the conferences that go on daily ih his office it is his callers who do most of the talking. Lansing throws in a sentence here and there, just enough to keep the discus- sion within the channels desired or. to indicate in a general way his own on a note pad; these drawings, usu- ally they are rough sketches and gener- ally of profiles, oftén display real abil- ity, but they go into the wastebasket as fast as completed. He is also fond of smoking a pipe in the privacy of his office. Another happy faculty possessed by Mr. Lansing is that of geiting along well with all sorts of men. When Mr. Bryan resigned as nead of the state department Mr. Lansing au- tomatically became secretary of state ad interim. Thé president announced on June 23 the permanent appointment of the former counselor and thus a man ° comparatively unknown before became hehd of the most important governmental department. Mr. Lansing was born Oct. 17, 1864, at Watertown, N. Y., where for a time he practiced law following his gradu- ation from Amherst college. He is the author of “Government, Its Origin, Growth and Form In the United States” and of numerous articles on diplomatic subjects. In 1890 he married Miss Eleanor Foster, daughter of John W, Foster, secretary of state under Grover Cleveland. With Mrs. Lansing he now resides at Mr. Foster's home in Wash- {ngton. In 1892 he was appointed 4ssociate counsel for the United States in the fur seal arbitration, which was con- ducted in Paris in the following year. During 1894 and 1895 he was counsel for the Chinese and Mexican legations in Washington. In 1896 and 1897 he represented the United States govern- ment at the sittings of the Bering sea claims commission heid ac Vietoria, B. C., Montres) and Halifax.

The British admiralty has publicly ree- ognized the work of these boats and their crews, and many of the men have received well earned honors. The sea- man in the illustration is dressed in the garb worn when the weather is rough and mine sweeping more danger- ous than usual. His feet, encased in heavy sea boots, are further protected by woolen overstockings. Roeund his neck he wears a life belt, and on his head a cap, which during the past win- | ear flaps and neck guard.

With another trawler in company, away either to port or starboard, the trawlers work, connected to omne an- other by a steel ¢able that goes over their bucking stern down toward the bottom of the sea and then in a bulg- ing loop crosses to the other vessel and up to her bollards. This is the sweep- ing wire, which, kept below by tha two iron kites, “‘creeps” for the unseen peril —the floating mines which are beneath them. If luck be with them the chains which hold the explosive globes just below the surface, and which are an- chored at the bottom end to the iron sinkers on the sea bottom, are caught by the sweeping wire and the mine is dragged up and exploded. If, however, luck is against thera, then their own stem may stiike the mine. Instantly there is a roaring, teering explosion, a gush of water ar{ Asms, and one more stout (rawler wiil mever mere roll its Tay home again.

From ths early days of Au- gust their work has never ceased, ana, although many have been lost, they have removed scores of mines and saved many a good ship and thousands of human lives.

Right In toward the harbor we steamed, right in as far as the buoys were placed. We had our sweeps ready to shoot out when we were signaled to retire. Then the muse sic Began. As we turned they let us have it pretty warm. It was a rare race for life to steam out of range. Shells fell thick arovnd Js, but Juek. ily all missed their mark.
