I American Naval Base, France, -(by mall.)—Here on this rugged Breton coast thero is an American naval es tablishment which is a sort of com posite of the busy activity of the navy department at Washington and of ono of the big navy yards on the American seaboard. j Vice Admiral Wilson, commanding the American naval forces in French 1 waters, has ills headquarters here, with an executive staff quartered In one of tile largest buildings of the city, front ing ttie Place President Wilson. Amer ! lean bluejackets are on guard at ail the entrances, and steady flies of Ameri can naval officers and sailors crowd the corridors on their various duties. The streets are filled with American sailors on 'liberty parties,” often 5,000 anil B,000 in a single party. And on the 1 water front there Is the hustle and ac tivity of a huge navy yard, with j scores of American naval craft and 1 transports lying in the harbor, and the ; shore alive with a vast naval installa ! tlon. Besides the rush of the port Itself, this is the naval administiation center j for 300 miles of the French coast, dl : vlded Into three districts, with a num ber of the chief ports into which the ! masses of American men and material are pouring. I Aside from the American transport fleet which comes and goes, there Is a ; standing personnel of officers and men \ in these districts, with some 80 ships— destroyers, repair ships, converted yachts, mine sweepers and naval tugs. The shore establishment is on the same extensive sealer, witli nerdromes for balloons and airplanes, great stacks of coal and mammoth tanks for fuel oil. Nava! headquarters is In constant j wireless touch with the whole range of , this naval activity, along the 300 miles of front and far out to sea where the j convoys are steadily moving In and ’ out. All the orders are iBSued here for this Intricate movement, the meetings at sea at appointed places—and the zigzag routes which will cheat the hos | tile craft lying off the coast. Front outside In adquarters one sees the wire less antennas stretching off tq>a near | by church steeple, thus giving a great sweep of wire for gathering the sound waves. There is also direct telegraph end telephone, so that If need be con i versatlons may go on between the na val chiefs and Amerlcun officers St Paris or London. I It Is a huge work this big establish ment is carrying on. On the strictly naval side are the defensive and offen sive operations—defense of American and other allied shipping hi «’>e vast movement of men and mat- across the Atlantic, and offensive in the war of extermination being made against enemy submarines. | Outside of the naval operations, there Is the steady march of a vast na j val construction at all the ports along this 300 miles of sea front, repair plants, fuel stations, oil tanks, water works. and all the requirements of a constant!* expanding.

Then, when the fmne of the iron chan cellor was at Its height, the German population of the little town voted prldefully to change its name to Bis , inarok. Bismarck it remained qn'.ll recently, when citizens forgot for all time that they had once been German and pledged themselves to battle against the machine that Bismarck had built up. The little town has a new name now. It Is Quentin. Pa., in honor of that son of a former presi dent who died fighting in France.

By Pit. M. COOK. The cool lighter always vrlm and so there Is no need to become panic stricken. Avoid fear and crowds. Ex ercise In the fresh air and practice the three C’«: A Clean Mouth, a Clean Skin and Clean Bowels. To carry off the poisons that accumulate within the body and to ward off an attack of the influenza bacillus, take a good liver regulator to move the bowels. Such a one is made up of May-apple, leaves of aloe, root of jalap, and is to be had at any drug store, and called “Pleasant Purgative Pellets.” If a bad cold develops, go to bed, wrap up well, drink freely of hot lemonnde and take a hot mustard foot-bath. Have the bedroom warm but well ven tilated. Obtain at the nearest drug store "Anurie Tablets” to flush the kidneys and control the pains and aches. Take an “Anurie” tablet every two hours, together with copious drinks of lemonade. If n true case of influ enza. the^ood should be simple, such as broths, milk.buttermilk and ice-cream; but It !s important that food be given regularly in order to keep up patient’s strength and vitality. After the acute attack has passed, which is generally from three to seven days, the system should he hullt up by the use of a good Iron tonic, such as “Irontic” tablets, to be obtained at some drug stores, or that well known blood-maker and herbal tonic made from roots and barks of forest trees—sold everywhere as Dr* Pierre’s Golden Medical Discovery. -N
