The summer seasons of 1913 and i 1914 were characterized by almost the i complete absence of destructive trop- i ical hurricanes which generally fre- i ijuent the waters of the Caribbean Sea itid Gulf regions. In 1915. however, two severe storms passed over this region, and the observations and reports ob- ! tained from its stations enabled the ! ' IT. S. Weather Bureau to give timely j 1 warnings of the occurence and pro gress of these destructive storms, re- * suiting, it is believed, in great saving J jf life and property. 1 BUILDING TIME Whether you are going to build a fence or a home, we have the material you want and at the right prices.

Encouraging results from the ad ministration of common salt as a rem edy against excessive perspiration in the case of marching troops are re ported by Marine Corps officials in San Domingo. Sweat contains about six parts of salt in the thousand. A tropical day's march results in the exudation of three to four quarts of sweat, with a salt content of 200 to 250 grains. For experimental purposes about 100 marines were given a teaspoonful of salt (about 75 grains) in the morn ing before beginning their days’ march. After a tropical march of near ly twenty miles the marines thus dosed exhibited much less fatigue than their comrades, and their perspiration was but a fraction of that of the others —-----t Henry Ford has our unqualified for giveness.
