(To the Editor.) I am surprised to learn that the United States Navy Is behind the warships of other nations In the matter of speed. I wonder why this Is so? I believe that American en gineers are the best In the business and are as able to "deliver the goods'' as are the naval engineers of Japan or England. Frequent Fatal Disease j The ingredients cost little and can be obtained without trouble at any good drug store. To avoid the substitution of some inferior pine product for Virin Oil of Pine, It is better to purchase each sep arately and mix them at home. The genuine Virgin Oil of Pine is put up only in -ounee vials, each vial securely scaled in a round wooden case with an en graved . wrapper showing plainly the name. Virgin Oil of Pine, compound pure, guaranteed under the Food and Drugs Act, of June 30, 1906, Serial No. 451, pre pared only by Leach Chemical Co.. Cin cinnati, O. The oils sold in bulk and cheap imita tions put out to resemble Virgin' Oil of Pine in name and style of package are ineffective for the reason that they are largely composed of a distillation from pine needles, or leaves, instead of from the pine tree proper. Pine needle oil is not Intended for internal use, and when taken internally causes nausea. Its use la mainly confined to the manufacture of soap and similar purposes. Talk, Is What You Must Come to Us Sooner or Later. Why Not Now? During; my professional career I have treated and cured more MEN than any other single physician in the Northwest, hence it is only reasonable that I can and will cure you just as surely as you come to me. I never accept a single case in which I do not feel and know that I can effect a sure cure, so you run no chances of spending your time without results. The volume of my practice has reached a proportion so great that it has caused me to place such facilities at my command that it is as easy for me to see 200 patients a day as it would be 50 callers. I have separate parlors, so that everything is strictly private, and if you feel fearful of meeting some one that you know, you can dispel the idea, for all business is carried on with the utmost privacy. .

Then, when speed is so Important In naval warfare, why should the fastest of our bat tleships only make 18.B knots per hour, when Japan has them with a record of 21 knots? And why should we allow our tor pedo destroyers to remain at the old 20.7 knots, when England has them 30 knots? It seems to me that our Navy costs enough to allow a first-class service In every re spect, and I contend that our warships should be equal to, or excel, any other na tion's warships because we have the men and the money. Why should we be behind old England and young Japan in those Im portant matters. J. w. T. V. M. C. A. Wins at Basketball. The basketball game between the Pacific College and Y. M. C.
