many of the men purchased Krementz Jewelry especially 189K. 3 studs $1.50 187K—Pair links $3.00 188K — 4 vest buttons $3.00 mand for his surrender: “I have just begun to fight!” Surely we do not want to see little Johnny grow up to be a pirate and echo such shocking senti- ments. Far better that he should be a Wall Street power or a millionaire bootlegger. More than fifty years later it was an American admiral, David Farragut, who nade that naughty remark at Mo- bile Bay—‘Damn the torpedoes; go ahead!" Little Johnny is sure to stum- ble on that bit of inexcusable profanity unless, like Williamjenningsbryan, he skips a lot of his American history. It was association in his impression- able youth with Admiral Farragut that inspired still another quarrelsome sea- man, George Dewey, to act with such boorish disregard of the fine sensibili- ties of the Spanish Dons at Manila Bay The Mistress: They can’t put any- thing over on me, just because I’m a new-rich, I know ‘em, them hussies of cooks—wasn’t I one meself? —Le Journal Amusant (Paris). - LIFE - three decades later. When the Spanish ships came within close range of his flagship, instead of signaling them to come aboard for tea and muffins, he is reported to have turned coldly to Cap- tain Gridley of the Olympia. “You may fire when ready, Gridley!" was the re- pellent command that he gave his un- happy subordinate. The effect of these cruel words on little Johnny can better be imagined than described. Yet when our work of deletion is completed there should remain the noble sentiment of one sea captain to be printed in little Johnny's his- tory in type cf gold. For of all the historic sayings cf American sea cap- tains it alone is ‘n perfect harmony 31 with this glad era of naval disarmament. It was in that infamous fight between the Constitution and the Guerriere when a shot from. the Constitution brought the Britisher’s mizzenmast down. Captain Hull, noting thecrash, shouted to his men: “Hurrah, boys; we've made a brig of her!” A modest beginning that, yet worthy of compari- son with the scrapping of a squadron of battleships in these days, and so spontaneous a contribution to the limi- tation of the armament of His British Majesty’s naval forces that we shall have saved for little Johnny at least one honest thrill when he takes up his dis- armed American history.

Prostatic and Bladder Disorders What a Noted Medical Authority Prescribes: “The drinking of considerable volumes of Paradise Water,” he says, “is of value in inflamma- tions of the bladder and prostate, because it tends to wash out the bladder and prostatic orifices, get- ting rid of many bacteria, also pus and other products of inflammation. It gives organisms less time to de- velop in the urine and on the mucosal surfaces. The action of Paradise Water here would have about the same effect as the bathing of any wound or inflamed surface. “Paradise Water is especially beneficial in Bladder Disorders be- cause it contains practically none of the calcium and magnesium salts so abundant in hard waters. Calcium and magnesium are what result in urinary stones. “In Pyelitis (inflammation of the pelvis of the kidney,) the liberal use of Paradise Water is also of great value. “Drink Paradise plentifully and exclusively for a month—at least one quart a day. This will enable you to demonstrate to your entire satisfaction its great value in the prevention and alleviation of these specific ailments. Also prove its buoyant, up-building effect upon your general health.” Paradise comes in cases of 12 quarts, 24 pints and 36 half-pints. Natural or Carbonated, both deli- cious tasting.
