SOJIB time since nn American pub lisher invited a group of men, in cluding among others Roosevelt, Barnes, Spenrs, Connolly and the writer, to select tho six greatest ro mances of the sen. "The Two Ad mirals" was the one of Cooper's sea tales Included by a unanimous vote. Well does the book deserve Its se lection for It Is without question the greatest of nil the novels of tho sea, all of which I have rend and not a few of which I have written. It 1ms more of the best of Cooper, nnd less of his worst, than any of his navul or other romances. No writer was ever more at home on a ship's deck than Cooper not even Marryatt. And all his knowledge of the great deep, the way of ships therein, the hnhlts and customs of sailors, has been utilized In full measure In this Immor tal story. It rings true alike to sea men and inndsmen. There Is a subsidiary story concern ing the love affairs of a gallant young sea officer, Sir Wycherly Wychecombe, nnd Mildred Dutton-Bluewatcr, a dam sel as lovely, as delicate and as Inane as Cooper at his worst could describe. Whenever she appeared she was either suffused with blushes or bursting Into tears. On one occasion she wept steadily for above one half hour I The supposed daughter of a drunk en, retired officer and a woman of tho middle cla&s, Mildred turns out to be the lawful niece of one of the two ad mirals, just in time to soothe his dying hours; while her husband, a Virginian, turns up In the nick of time with the papers In his hands to provo his suc cession to the nnclent title and lands of Wychecombe. All of which Is ex cessively tiresome. Fortunately the greater part of the book Is taken up with the doings of the Two Admirals. The puerile, pre-mld-VIctorlan romance will easily be forgotten but tho remainder will rich ly repay the reader. In 1745 when George II relgncdln Englnnd the young pretender, Charles Edward, made that during nnd unsuc cessful dash for a crown which came to a bloody end at Culloden In the fol lowing yenr. It Is that abortive but gallant effort which furnishes tho mo tive for the action of the novel. Vice Admiral of the Red SIrGervalso Oakes commanded n well fitted, well officered, well mnnned, homogeneous fleet of ships-of-the-llne which had been cruising In the Bay of Biscay. As sociated with him was Richard Blue water, rear admlrnl of tho White, sec ond In command. These two men, both wedded to the service alone, hnd been shipmates and friends, during a naval career of nearly forty years. Oakes was a typical English admiral, a superb sailor, a downright fighter; Bluewntcr his complement nntl oppo site, a subtle thinker nnd a brilliant tactician. The combination was Ideal, as was the completeness of a friend ship, not to say an affection, as sin cere as It was lasting. Nothing had ever broken It; nothing, It was be lieved, ever would break It. In but one point did the true friends differ. Onkes was a Whig, Bluewater , Tory. It did not seem possible, how over, for political consideration to In terrupt their warm relations. The bold adventure of Charles Edwnrd bade fair to do that very tulng, how sver. For Bluewnter, frank, Tinworld- ly sailor that he wns, cleverly pln,-6 upon by politicians, began to wnvei between the House of Hanover, whost commission ho held, nnd tho House ot Stewnrt, to which his heart Inclined. To bring matters to a head M. le Vice Amlrnl Lo Comto do Vervlllln sailed from Cherbourg with a fleet ol such ships as fairly entitled hi in tc chnllenge the English fleet of Vice Ad miral Oakes for the mastery of tin narrow seas. The latter, more than willing to trj out the matter, at once put to sea Id a heavy gale of wind, his capital shlpi weighing anchor In succession wltt long Intervals: between them so as tc spread a broad clue to Intercept the French. Bluewnter with his division brought up the rear. Tho rear admiral was obsessed with the Idea that D( Vcrvillln's course hnd something to dc with the pretender's effort nnd hit conscientious scruples threw him Intc a piteous state of Indecision. The vice admiral was not troubled by nnj such subtle casuistry. He only saw tho enemy whom It wns his duty to beat when, where and how he could. After a series of the most brilliant tactical maneuvers nnd a successful minor engagement with the whole French fleet by his division alone the two divisions had got separated In the mad gale and Bluewater hnd called hli own ships around him tho vice nd mlrnl found himself with flvo ships In the vicinity of the French who werl Just double In number. Far away td windward tho morning disclosed the flvo ships of tho rear admiral's divi sion slowly standing down townrd his superior under easy sail. Bluewater was still In his state of painful Indecision. As soon as within signal distance, by using a private and personal code, ho sent the following pleading dispatch to his considerate superior: "God sake make no signal engage not." This signnl plunged Oakes, fully aware of the state of his beloved junior's mind, Into tho most terrible dilemma. Without the assistance of Bluewnter's division he could not hope to engage the enemy with tho least chance of success. On the other hand should he now withdraw without fight ing he would have failed In his duty and would have been professionally ruined nnd rightly.' His mind wns at once made up. Attack ho would and must. Would tho friendship between the two admirals stand the test he Im posed upon It? Did tho younger care more for Onkes and Englnnd than for the young prince nnd Franco? A short time would determine. Magnanimous ly refraining from mnklng any embar rassing signnl to his friend, which might force his hand untimely, 6akes boldly led down upon tho waiting French line nnd with his flvo ships brought them to close action. Tho French were quick to tnko advantngo of the opportunity given them by the hesitations of the English rear ad miral. Holding Onkes with five of his ships to leeward De Vervlllln threw the other five under Dos Prez, his contre amlrnl on tho wlndwnrd side of the English doubling on them, plnclng them between two fires. Although Onkes' division fought with the fury of despair tho end wns at hand when the opportuno arrival of Bluewater, who could not stand see ing his friend pourided to pieces nnd who throw political considerations to the wind and bore down on tho triumphant French under n press of sail, completely changed the Issuo and wrested victory from defeat. All of which Is set forth in a succession of sea pictures of surpassing grandeur. Bluewnter, remorseful over hla In certitude, actually carried tho French rear admiral's ship by boarding at tho head of his men, receiving n mortal wound In tho attack by way of expia tion. Spaco allows mo only to mention the masterly descriptions of ship maneuvering nnd thrilling sen fighting. I can only refer to some of the well drawn characters In tho story; tho two splendid admirals, their captains, the officers and seamen, especially old Galleygo the admiral's steward, de lineated out of a large experience with n suro hand. And tho great ships them selves are Imbued with personality so dear to a seaman's heart. The touching scene nt tho eloso of tho book, In which Onkes, old, Infirm, forgetful, praying before tho tomb of Bluewater In the great abbey of West minster, recalls tho last bnttlo tho two had fought and with all of his for mer fire and fervor describes again those moments of suspense preceding the glorious victory, fitly rounds out tho tnle. And then denth unites hint with tho friend ho hnd loved and lost. I hnvo read the book a score or inor of times with ever Increasing Joy. 1 envy anyone who takes ship for tho first time to sail and fight with theso two great mnstcrs of the sea, (Copyright, 1919 by Post Publishing Co.

ELDERLY CAN "COME BACK" Physician Tells How H Succeeded lo Throwing Oft trie Incubus of Advancing Years. Dr. I. Leo Nascher tells how he mnde himself over Into a young mnn, In nn article In People's Magazine for May. "It Is something any elderly person can- do," he says. "Here Is the wim ple proposition. A man nges mnny years In the course of a severe Illness lasting several weeks. After a few wcoks' vacation ho looks and feels ninny, but to n certain extent the cus he wns taken 111. Having In mind hun dreds of cases In which this hns proved true, It Is logical to ask If wo cannot rejuveunto tho aged, mnko them grow young again, Just ns wo made Uio pre maturely aged Invalid become young. And, through recent experiments, that can now be unswered in the affirma tive. I speak from personal experience. "It Is a fact thnt there is not a sin gle one of the objective manifestations of senility, those that give the appear ance of old age, which cannot bo re moved, suppressed, or hidden, or at least a youthful substitute found for ft. "To restoro tho spirit nnd buoynnc of youth Is more difficult. This re quires tho will, not only the desire, but tho determination and the energy to be young, to feel young nnd look young. Most old persons hnvo the desire, some have tho determination, but few hnvo the energy to carry out the measures necessary for rejuvenation. In many cases the old man or woman who would like to do so Is afraid of ridicule, of being called giddy and foolish If ho or she suddenly appeared In youthful at tire and adorned with the artifices of tho beauty parlor. Yet under borne special stimulus, usunlly tho desire to attract some particular Individual of the opposite sex, both men nnd women havo gone beyond tho limit of pror prlcty to look younger than they are nnd feel younger than thry look. And If they went nbout It the right way they usunlly succeeded. "I tried it a couple of years ago, not to nttract any pnrtlculnr Individual, but to see If It could bo done, and bow It felt to grow young. "In one year the change" In my np penrance and actions and feelings was so complete that persons who bad no! seen me since tho enrller days, when I was aged, did not recognize me." Yields to March of Progress. One of the oldest banks In Wall street 1ms finally yielded to the march of progress and Installed a telephone. It will only hnvo one phone at first, for It Is difficult to uproot prejudices of many years. They have never had a telephone because they believed that confidential business could not be con ducted over n telephone and their at mosphere of the old bank, the oldest In the city, Is thnt of a staid Institu tion In some old town settled In Colo nlnl times. Absolute quiet prevails. The employees retain tho old-fashioned good manners. Instead of a lovely laughing creature who tells the world the line Is busy In thrilling soprano, the bank will select for their first tele phone operator a person with a beard nnd a bass voice, able to endow his lightest utterances with a certain pro fumllty. New and Valuable Resin. A new synthetic resin is stated to be a suitable substitute for many pur poses for Dnmar and Knurl gums nnd common resin. It Is produced from conl tar distillates, and hns been named Cumnr. It Is solublo In coal tar sol vents, vegetable oils, carbon bisul phide, carbon tetrachloride, ether and acetone. It Is Insoluble In alcohol, and this unusual property gives It a special value for varnishes. It finds use nlso In lenther dressings, polishes, artificial leather, printing inks, wnter prOofing paper, linoleum, and as a binder for molded materlnls. Its color may vary from light yellow to dark nmber, and the melting poIntH of the various grades range from fit) de grees to about 100 degrees centigrade.

The man next door to four-yen r-old Allen has a new car and little Allen Is much given to accompanying him to the garage to keep hlrn company while he tinkers with It. He some times seems to get as much pleasure out of It as does Its actual owner. Only the other day something hap pened which threatened for a time to dim his enjoyment. The owner of the car came home with a Jumper suit In vlilch he nppenred the next time he went out to work on his car. Tho next time ho started out to the garage he whistled for Allen but no boy came. Then ho went over to Al len's house and hunted up tho little fellow. "Come on out to the garage with me, son," he said. Allen looked nt him sorrowfully. "I can't." he said sadly.

According to the Pekln Jlpn tho experiment of mixed education has not been a brilliant success In tho cap ital as It resulted In a stand up light between girl and boy students In the government university.

If You Need a Mediclna You Should Have the W Have you ever stopped to reason why It is that so many products that aro ex tensively advertised, all at once drop out of sight and are soon forgotten! The reason is plain tho article did not fulfill tho promises of tho manufacturer. This applies more particularly to a medicine. A medicinal preparation that has real curative value almost sells itself, as liko an endless chain system the remedy is recommended by thoeo who havo been benefited, to those who aro in need of it. A prominent drusgist says "Take for cxamplo Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a preparation I have sold for many years and never hesitate to recommend, for in almost every caso it shows excellent re sults, as many of my customers testify. No other kidney remedy has so large a sale." According to sworn statements and verified testimony of thousands who havo used the preparation, tho success of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is due to the fact, so many pcoplo claim, that it fulfills al most every wish in overcoming kidney, liver wid bladder ailments; corrects uri nary troubles and neutralizes tho urio acid which causes rheumatism.

Don't Buy Private Brand Roofing When you buy an unknown private brand of roofing you give the dealer, if he is unscrupulous, a chance to double cross you. In the first place, how do you know what quality of roofing you are buying? He may say that it is first-grade, be cause even an expert cannot tell the grade by just looking at it. Our third grade roofing looks as good as any. The chances are that you will get a me dium or poor grade of roofing and pay a first-grade price for it. At least, an unscrupulous dealer with an unknown private brand of roofing can woi'c that on you if he wants to. Don't Pay a Long Profit In the second place, how much profit is the dealer taking on your transaction? There is nothing to stop his taking a good, long one if you'll buy. That's why some dealers would rather sell pri vate brands than Certain-teed. Any responsible dealer can sell Certain teed if he plays the game squarely. He gets a fair profit, but he cannot stretch it because so many dealers handle it and everybody knows the price. Of course, you know what to expect from Certain-teed. It is highest qual ity, guaranteed for 5, 10 or 15 years, ac cording to weight, and completely shelters your property. That's a real buy. Any reliable dealer can get 'Certain teed for you quickly from a nearby Certain-teed warehouse or jobber. He gets it when he wants it and he gets what he wants. He can afford to sell you at a fair price.
