COLD IN THE HEAD Is the First Chapter in the History o? Chronic Disease. A cold in the head is the first chap ter in the history of disease and death. This has been so often repeated that there are few people indeed who have not witnessed many examples of it. A cold in the head is rarely severe enough to confine a vigorous person to the house. As a rule, it ends in recovery without any treatment. This has led many people to regard a cold in the head as of no importance. It is a terrible mistake, however, to pass by a cold in the head as a trivial mat ter. Every case should be treated. Those who have used Peruna for such cases will testify unanimously i# that a few doses is sufficient to re move every vestige of the cold. How much better it is to treat a cold in this way than it is to allow it to go on and on for weeks, perhaps months, leaving effects that will never be eradicated. Yet there are those who neglect to take Peruna for a cold in the head. This neglect is due to the false notion that a cold in the head is hardly worth noticing. A cold in the head is in reality a case of acute catarrh. It ought to be called so, in order to awaken people from their lethargy on this subject. In a large per cent, of cases cold in the head will end in chronic catarrh. Un less properly treated writh some such remedy as Peruna, perhaps 50 per cent, of cases of cold in the head will lay the foundation for chronic catarrh. A tablespoonful of Peruna should be taken at the very first symptom of cold in the head. Usually where tho cold is not very severe a tahlespoonful of Peruna before each meal and at bed time is sufficient. It may be neces sary, however, where the attack i3 more serious, to keep strictly in the house and take a tablespoonful of Peruna every hour. Younger people, feeble or delicate women, should take a teaspoonful every hour. Don’t Persecute Your Bowels Cut out cathartics and purgatives. They are brutal, harsh, unnecessary.

Bell Telephone lines reach nearly everywhere. i n T is a far cry from the tall, dignified and sol dierly looking officer who walks the quarterdeck of the Superintendent’s house at the United States Naval academy, and whose word is law to the 750-odd youths whom Uncle Sam is training to command his forces afloat, to the tall but sad faced youngster who for 13 blessed Saturday afternoons paraded the academy grounds, carrying the black flag, back in ’78. but the fact that they are one ; and the same only goes to prove that there is a generous amount of human nature in the man who now presides over the destinies of the 750-odd em orjo admirals. Furthermore, it con stitutes strong contributive evidence that human nature, and especially boy nature, has not changed much from 18.S to 1912. But the melancholy tale of the death of liberty” and the black Hag which marked it must give place to more serious matters for the pres ent. It was in May, 1911, that Secretary ! Meyer detailed Capt. John II. Gibbons i is superintendent of the naval acade | my. Captain Gibbons had recently I completed a tour of duty on the Asi . atie station, where he commanded the cruiser Charleston, and had been as signed to the general board when the late Captain Bowyer's failing health compelled him to resign the superin tendency of the naval academy. Cap tain Gibbons was chosen to succeed him. l'ully half of the new superintend ent s service had been spent at sea, and twice he had circumnavigated the globe. He had seen service on the i little old training ship Jamestown, j and rounded the Horn in her back in j 82, and one of his tours of shore duty ! had been as naval attache of the | American embassy to England. Thor oughness had marked all his work. His courtliness of manner had won for him, almost back of his "plebe” days, the sobriquet of "Marquis de Gib bons, and, above all, he was imbued with the spirit of the navy. It is not ■ surprising that his selection should i have been greeted with expressions of : approval from all who knew him well. Neither is it surprising that all he has achieved and sought to achieve as | superintendent of that educational in I stitution, which was awarded the gold medal at the Paris exporsition as the | finest governmental educational insti ! tution in the world, should have been | a nature to commend itself to popu lar as well as to professional approval. It is not necessary to talk to Cap tain Gibbons to perceive that he takes his work seriously, but when one does talk to him and hears him modestly discuss his aims and aspirations for the academy which is so dear to his | heart one is impressed with the full measure of thought and study and, perhaps, even worry which this quiet, i determined man is giving to the most important work in the navy. Poor | ships may be made to give a fairly good account of themselves in the hands of skilful officers, but the best ships can accomplish nothing if they are not well commanded. Moreover, on the brains and skill and energy of the young men now being trained at the naval academy must depend the future efficiency of the fleet, for on them will fall the responsibility of de signing as well as fighting the navy ot the future. Five distinct reforms has Captain Gibbons set himself to achieve during j his present tour of duty. These are j (It the facilitation of admission of' candidates; (2) the simplification of the curriculum; (3) the substitution of naval officers for civilian teachers wherever practicable; (4) the absolute elimination of hazing, and (5) the “dig nification," if the coining of a word be allowed, of the first class. Sad experience—for every occasion for severe discipline is an occasion of sadness to Captain Gibbons—has taught the evils of the training or coaching schools for candidates for I the academy, especially those which involve absence from home, an ab sence free alike from the influences of the home and the restrains of military discipline. Boys preparing for their entrance examinations are usually young and impressionable, and too SIS' Sl-SS1 Amu/ jttZ£!£iW~ otten those who go away from home to coach form habits and associations which remain to hamper them through out their career at the academy, which sometimes destroy their chances of success. At many of these schools j are met what are known in academy parlance as ' bilgers." young men who for one reason or another have failed in their studies and have been drop)- , ped, but who can command sufficient political influence to grain re-entry. That there may be young men of worth among them is not denied, but that in the generality of cases there is some grave defect of character is the contention of the academy faculty, and ! it is emphatically asserted that con tact wuth them rarely fails to injure the boy who is preparing for his iniial examination. For this reason Captain Gibbons has made a serious and a successful effort to modify the en- j trance examinations in order to obvi-1 ate, as far as possible, the necessity for special coaching for the boy with a good high school education and suf- ; ficient brains to carry him through once he gains admission.. Second chronologically, but not in importance, are the changes which Captain Gibbons is effecting in the curriculum of the academy. The com plexity of modern naval warfare as compared with that of a former gen- , oration, the intricacies of the modern battleship as compared with the sail ing frigate of the early part of the last i century, must be apparent to the veriest tyro. And with this develop ment came increases in and complica- i tion of the academy curriculum. In ! the effort to turn out midshipmen proficient in all the phases of duty they would be called upon to perform there lias been an ever increasing dan ger that, like the proverbial jack of all trades, they would be master of none. The importance of a change of system was obvious to those who gave the subject sufficient serious consider ation. The first step toward correcting the evil was necessarily *in the direc tion of specialization. There wmre no superfluous subjects, therefore provi sion must be made for special training in the subjects eliminated after gradu ation. Some progress along that line had already been made, but now a post graduate school has been established at Annapolis and a systematic and varied course provided. Captain Gib bons has been made head of the more advanced school, as he is of the Naval academy. The entrance examination has been somewhat simplified by the elimina tion of world's history and in some j minor details. The first year's work has been made more elementary and is better designed to afford asubstan tial basis for subsequent education. The practice of sending the first and second classes to sea with the fleet In stead of on school ships during the summer months, in order that they may have an opportunity to apply their knowledge and to supplement theo retical experience, has been adopted, and the more advanced features, such as tactics, law and constructive and designing technical work, have been either eliminated or abridged, with a view to their further pursuit after graduation. The post-graduate course will, in the main, be preceded by three years of sea service and qualification for the grade of junior lieutenant. For the present the course will include ord- j nance and gunnery, marine engineer- j ing. electrical engineering, radio-teles raphy, naval construction and civil en gineering. An immediate occasion of some, ai least.'of the changes in the curricu lum. etc., was the enactment of con gress providing that midshipmen should be commissioned as ensigns on the completion of their four years' course at the Naval academy, instead of being carried as passed midshipmen for two years before attaining the grade of ensign. Captain Gibbons is convinced thal no influence is so beneficial to the young men at the academy' as associa tion with officers of the navy, fron whom, he believes, they will, even un consciously, absorb much of that spirit which has made the navy always the pride of Americans and the admiration of the military world. It is to that end that he would, where it can be done without detriment to the academy substitute officers for civilian teachers In some degree this is getting back to the custom which prevailed when he was himself a midshipman, or, rather a cadet, as they were termed in those days, the cadet becoming a midship man only after graduating from the academy. The brigade was far smaller than ii is today. Officers were more numerous in proportion to the demands of the fleet than they have been for a consid erable time, and small classes with nu merous officer instructors were the rule. To the good influence of the in structors with when he came in con tact Captain Gibbons is ever ready tc testify. This does not mean, of course that the superintendent contemplates substituting officers for the instructors in foreign languages—termed "dago’ by the midshipmen—or that, he would seriously impair the efficiency of the instructing body to carry out his , theory, but he does believe that ths i more the midshipmen can be broughi in contact with naval officers the more thoroughly they will be fitted for then vocation, and he would even sacrifice something of pedagogic proficiency tc - gain such association. For the practice of hazing, or evei ! "running.” which is the term given by \ the midshipmen to the milder forms o! that delectable pastime, Captain Gib bons has little toleration. Congress has forbidden all forms of hazing, and that alone, in the eyes of the superin tendent, makes it his duty to stami out the practice. And it is safe to say that he has done more to achieve this end than any of his predecessors. He has visited rwift and summary Justice on those found guilty of disobeying the law and the regulations in this re spect. In summarizing the aims of Captait Gibbons, reference was made to the "dignification” of the first class, thal is, the graduating class. It is a pari of the superintendent's policy to en hance the standing of that class in the eyes of their fellow-midshipmen in all ways possible and at the same time to impose on first class men additional responsibilities, making them In large degree accountable for the enforce ment of discipline, and, precisely as from among their number are chosen the officers of the brigade, still furthei to fit them for the duties of command for which they are being trained while incidentally they render valua ble assistance by way of example and control in governing the younger mid shipmen. HE SAVED WOULD-BE SUICIDE Absentmindedness. which has done some very rash things in its universal career, was the alchemy that nearly turned a would-be suicide into just a suicide here. Harry Such, after the usual fight with his wife, decided to go to the place where wives and marriages are reputed not to be which ought to be a fine place. He tied a few yards of clothesline around his neck and jumped off a chair. John Korem, who rooms on the floor above/felt the jar. and hustled downstairs. He is one of those absentminded men who put their clothes in bed and go to sleep in the wardrobe. Therefore, instead of cutting the rope with a knife, he searched leisurely around for a saw, and then sawed down the beam. It is hard to say what Such thought of the delay, but he must have been mad. for he was blue In the face when Koren finally released the rope. When resuscitated he was asked if he still wanted to die. He turned a savage eye toward Koren and muttered: Not yet; not until I get even with that ab3entminded duck!"—South Nor walk (Conn.)

A strange story of "corpse reviving” to save legal fees, has just leaked out in Paris. The late Due de D-. the most popular figure of clubland in the French capital "died” last June at ten o’clock in the evening. His younger son was due to be of age at midnight. For the sake of two hours, the young er son. being still an "infant.” it j seemed as if the whole of the duke’s estate would have to go. so to speak into chancery The legal advisers of ! the family, who were by the bedside, j t-V. • .. i&M S . had heard of the recent theories of artificial life." They pointed out to the doctors the awful legal conse quences of the duke’s death before midnight. Powerful hypodermic in jections were resorted to. The heart began to beat again, the temperature of the body went up, breathing was restored. In fact, the body came back to "life,” and in this state it was kept until a quarter of an hour after mid night. A magistrate had been called to the house to see to the interests of the infant ward." and witness the revival life. irom seeming death to In Society.

Some comparisons showing the pro gress of the anti tuberculosis cam paign in the last eight years and the present needs of this movement are made by the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tubercu losis in a brief report of its work re cently issued. During the eight years of its work, the national association has assisted in the organisation of over 800 state and local anti tubereu losis societies located ir. almost every state and territory of the Union. Over 500 hospitai and sanatoria have been established, vith more than 00,000 beds for consumptives. About 400 dispensaries, with more than 1,000 physicians in attendance and at least 150 open air schools for tuberculous and anaemic children, have also been provided. Laws dialing with tubercu losis have been passed in 45 states, and ordinances on this subject have been adopted in over 200 cities and towns. An active field campaign cf education against tuberculosis has been carried on in 40 states and ter ritories by means of lectures, exhibits, the press, and the distribution of over 100,000,000 pamphlets on this disease.

I tried simple remedies at first, then got medicine, but it did no good.
