Is a Powerful
Influence in Blood
- i i
Works With a Definite Pur
pose and Is a Known
Antidote.
There are some things in medicine that
lire certain and definite. They do tho
work. S S. S. is one of theee reliable
and is a known antidote tor: all blood
troubles. More than that, it . is harm
less, for It does not hurt the stomach,
does not 'affect the bones and joints, nor
does it alter the integrity of the nerves
and spine. -But it does sweep through
the blood, a. powerful, searching, cleans
ing influence, remarkable for results and
a tremendous' relief to those who suffer
the humiliation of skin eruptions.
Nearly all sickness is due to slugglsa
blood. And if you let S. S. S. bathe your
System with its wonderful influence your
nervous troubles, your wan, weary, faded,
listless, lifeless body will revive and be
come so renewed with, the sense of enjoy
able health you will scarcely know your
self Try S. S. S. today. Get a bottle
jit any drug store. It will put you on
your -feet; keep you going all day and
enable you to sleep sound and restful.
S S. S. is not a "dope," not 'a physic,
but a fine, bracing, purifying medicine
that is sure to do you a world of good.
It is just what you need. S. S. S. is
prepared by The Swift Specific Co., 60
Swift Bldg., Atlanta, Ga., and if you are
troubled with any stubborn blood disease
their medical department will guide you
safely to health. Write them.
ment that tiiey -will have on board.
" 'In addition to the above there
are being manufactured at the gov
ernment works at" Newport and the
Bliss ' works at Brooklyn a sufficient
number to provide all of the battle
ships of the United States navy with
the long-range torpedo.
- " 'All of the armored cruisers ex
cept four and all of the older de
stroyers are provided with 19-inch
tubes. All of the cruisers and all of
the destroyers subsequent to destroy
er No. 28 are provided with torpedoes
that were up to date in range and
speed one . year ago. Since then a
scheme has been developed for in
creasing the range of the 18-inch tor
pedo, and there now are in process of
construction 18-inch torpedoes of the
newer type, which will outfit all de
stroyers from No. 28 with the long
range weapon.
" 'Long- torpedoes neither are re
quired nor desired for submarines.
Submarine warfare is of such a char
acter as to make it advisable to use
short range, high-speed torpedoes, and
that is the class that submarines are
being furnished with. The Aboukir,
Cressy and Hogue were torpedoed re
cently, it will be recalled, at a range
of 500 yards.'"
NIELS DEFE
EQUIPMENT
IF TIE ill
Washington, Dec. 5. What officials
regard as popular exaggeration of ad
mitted defects in the American navy's
torpedo equipment was the subject of
a statement issued last night by Sec
retary Daniels embodying a special
report from Rear Admiral Strauss,
chief of the bureau of ordnance. Spe
cifically the statement was prepared
to prove misleading a declaration that
;"of long range torpedoes there are
only 58 in the navy," quoted from a
speech by Representative Gardner of
Massachusetts, who is urging the ad
ministration to support his resolution
for an investigation of the nation's
military preparedness.
, While the recent discussion of the
subject has dealt only with the equip
ment of battleships and cruisers, Ad
miral Strauss took occasion to point
out that long range torpedoes are
neither required nor desired for sub
marines. He recalled that the Brit
ish armored cruisers Aboukir, Cressy
and Hogue were torpedoed and de
stroyed by a German submarine at a
range of 500 yards.
"This statement standing by itself
is calculated to leave a false im
pression," said Mr. Daniels. "In view
of repeated statements that the navy
has only 58 long range torpedoes, the
chief of the bureau of ordnance has
been asked to furnish a statement
concerning the torpedo situation and
has complied as follows:
"The 1 8 long-range torpedoes so of
ten referred to as the only ones the
navy possesses are of the 21-inch 21
foot type, and there is no ship in the
United States navy yet in commis
sion that is prepared to take them.
They were manufactured for new con
struction, beginning with the Nevada
and the Oklahoma, and these two
ships will not go into commission un
til about the end of next year. Their
long range is obtained by an increase
in length over existing types, and no
ship prior to the Nevada and Okla
homa is constructed for torpedoes of
this length. So far as the bureau of
ordnance can ascertain these . torpe
does have as high a range, or higher,
than any torpedoes manufactured
abroad.
'Beginning with the Virginia class,
which went into commission princi
pally -in 1906, and up to and including
the Texas, which went into commis
sion this year, all the battleships are
provided with 21-inch 17-foot tubes.
Within the last two years it was
found possible to so improve the 21
inch 17-foot torpedo as to practically
double its range, and steps were tak
?n at once to construct new torpedoes
having the increased range. We al
ready have a sufficient number of
these longer range torpedoes to out
fit the eight most recent dreadnaughts
Jn commission, and that is the equip-
ESS LETTERS
TOO LONG VIDE!
Special to The News.
Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 5. "Tne average
business man's letters are too long
winded," said an efficiency expert lec
turing here before a business men's
club." They are too full of super
fluous phrases. They fail to come to
the point, say what they mean and
quit.
"The average letter writer could
profit by taking lessons from a good
newspaper man, who knows how to
write tersely, .put it all in a few
words and then come to a full stop.
I think the tendency toward long let
ters is induced by the dictating habit.
A man likes to hear the-sound of his
own voice, and he finds dt easy to
keep traveling on, talking around in a
circle, while the poor girl does all
the work. If he had to use an old
fashioned pen, or hammer the keys
himself, he would learn brevity."
The expert suggested the entire
omissions of such phrases as "Dear
Sir," "Awaiting your early reply," and
"Yours very truly."
"Nobody reads them, anyway, so
why kills space and time," suggested
the efficiency man.

Scurf on Scalp. Grew Worse. Very
Restless. Formed Crust. Used
Cuticura Soap and Ointment.
Trouble Disappeared.
1341 Parkwood PI.. N. W., "Washington;
D. C. "When my babe was about two
weeks old I noticed a scurf on her scalp
which gradually grew worse.
It started with a fine rash
over head and body and
made her very restless at
night. The rash left the
thick scurf on her head. We
used ,
, a well-known anti
septic, and other remedies
recommended by friends,
but nothing seemed to do
any good. This continued
until she was three months
old and by that time it
formed sort of a crust, so
that her scalp never looked clean. It was
'especially bad on the soft part of the head.
Nothing helped until we used the Cuticura
Soap to bathe her and Cuticura Ointment
to anoint her. They acted like magic,
clearing the scalp entirely. The trouble
disappeared." (Signed) Mrs. H. L. Ander
son, Mar. 20, 1914.
