JACKTES GET DAILY NEWS EVEN AT SEA Baseball, War and National Events in Briel Each night the navy department #®nds out from Washington a wire- less news service, “The Navy Press,” to all khips and coast radio sta- tlons. The message ranges from 800 t0 1,600 words in length and contains items of general and particular in- terest to officers and ssamen in every hrapch of the naval service. Each day the budget of news is carefully sorted and the more important events are put into concise English. During the night the words are flashed out by the government’s radio operators, end next morning there appears upon the ship’s bulletin boards a resume of all the previous day’'s happenings, both abroad and at home. A very clever machine has been devised to make easier this distribu- tion of the cream of the current news. It is somewhat like a tvpe- writer and somewhat like a stock ticker. Instead of printing words it punches holes in a long ribbon of white paper. The ribbon is inserted ir the wireless sending machine and the message clicked off automatical- ly. Once released, it is caught by £ll of the radio stations along the coast, and they relay it farther to other stations and to the ships. Ves- sels plying along the coast and many nt gea catch the initial message sent from Arlington. For those far out in the i* necessary. No cipher is used and the process ts known as ‘broadcasting.”” It goes out to any and every vessel, battle- ship or merchantman, whose radio Instrument is tuned to receive it. On smal] ships one bulletin board is usually enough to contain the news for those aboard. On a large man- of-war there may be ten or more. One is ordinarily placed in the ward room, one in the junior offi- vers’ mess room, one in the warrant — FACE A SIGHT WITH PIVIPLES Large, Hard and Red. ltched and Burned So Could Not Sleep, Cuticura Soap & Ointment Healed Inside a Week, Now Not Ashamed to Go Out. My face was covered with pimples and I was a sight to look at. 3 pimples were of pretty large size and they festered, and were hard and red. They ftched and I had to szratch my face making it worse. ‘Then it started to burn and I was not able to sleep. *Then I used Cuticura Soap and Qintment and inside of a week I was all healed, and now I am not ashamed to go out.”” (Signed) Frank Nuzzo, 165 Cove St., East Boston, Mass., August 24, 1917.

T suffered terribly. 1 could get no relief until I tried ‘T'ruit-a-tives (or Fruit Liver 7Tablets) and ‘Sootha Salva’. The first treatment gave me relief. Altogether, I have used three boxes of ‘Sootha Salva’ and two of ‘Fruit-a-tives’,and am entirely well’’, G. W. HALL. Both these remedies are sold by dealers at 50c. a box, 6 for $2.50, or gent by FRUIT-A-TIVES Limited, OGDENSBURG, N.Y. “Fruit-a-tives” is also put upina trial size which sells for 25¢. cfficers’ mess room, and one in the chief petty officers’ mess room. S cral bulletin boards for the crew are located in convenient gathering places about the ship. Besides the Lulletin boards, a copy of the news lotter is given to the ship’s com- mander and, if there chances to be an admiral on hoard, a special copy is prepared for him also. The news needs of men aboard a battleship are as various as their tastes and dispositions. All are in- terested in war developments, but each seaman also has his particular hobby. One is eager to know what is happening in the theatrical world, another is chiefly concerned with the fluctuations of the stock market. The United States Navy Press Service wecognizes this divergence of inter- ests and caters to the different wants. Closely related to the interest in market reports is the desire of the ailors to know about the financial standing of government bonds. A great many of them own Liberty Bonds. Although they feel sure of the security of their investment, they like occasionally to be reassured. Among the paragraphs which wers sent out on April § the following ap- b “New York, closed strong dezlings many issues high records for the day. The At- lantic Gulf and W. I. sold up to 112 i-2, an advance of 3 1-2 points, and steel common to 91 3-4. Corn pro- Gucts moved up to 37 3-8 and Ma- rine preferred advanced over two roints to 94. Government bonds steady. Railroad and other bonds strong.’” Baseball, the national sport. is constantly in the minds of the boys ai sea. Although they are unable to play it themselves (for the deck of e ship is a poor place to knock flies and swat out three-baggers), they fiock eagerly to the bulletin boards to read notices of the games of the landlubbers. When the big league seeson opens. reports of all the im- portant games become a regular fea- ture of the servi When a world’s series is on, or a decisive game is to be played near the end of the sea- son by closely matched teams, cial wireless messages are sent out for the information of the jack-tars It is not only the regular nav which benefits by the radlo service. Steamships of the merchant auxiliary end every sort of craft connected with the navy can pick up the news which goes by wireless. Not long ago the Merchants and Miners Transpor- tution company’s boats were requisi- ticned by the United States Navy. On board one of them is a girl radlo cperator.

THAT INFANTS are peculiarly susceptible to opium and its vario preparations, all of which are narcotic, is well known. Even in i smallest doses, if continued, these opiates cause changes'in the fun tions and growth of the cells which are likely to become permanent, causi imbecility, mental perversion, a craving for alcohol or narcotics in later lif Nervous diseases, such as intractable nervous dyspepsia and lack of stay wers are a result of dosing with opiates or narcotics to keep children q in their infancy. The rule among physicians is that children should nev receive opiates in the smallest doses for more than a day at a time, an only then if unavoidable. The administration of Anodynes, Drops, Cordials, Soothing Syrups an other narcotics to_children by any but a physician cannot be too strong] decried, and the druggist should not be a party to it.
