Shot-Gun' Prescrip-
' tions.
We suppose we are not re
vealing any trade secret when
we say that many medicines
are made up on the principle
of the so-called “ shot-gun pre
scriptions,” which were form
erly somewhat in vogue.
\ The idea of the shot-gun pre
scription was to put in a large
number of different drugs, each
useful for different purposes,
in the hope that some of them
might hit the case.
Vinol, the medicine we sell
over our name and guarantee.
Is not a scattering R shot-gun
prescription,” but goes straight
to the mark.
It is the best thing we know
for a run-down condition, for a
listless feeling, nerve troubles,
for lung troubles—in fact, it is
n safe, pleasant, reliable tonic
and reconstructor.
It has cured so many people
right here in town we offer
money back if it fails to benefit.

MONEY TO LOAN ON KEALaESTATE.
In His Report Admiral Taylor, Chief
of Bureau.of Navigation, Saya Lack
of Officera to Man Warahipa En
dangers Efficiency of Fleet
Washington, Nov. 10.—'The moat
crying need of the navy, ac
cording to the annual report of
Admiral H. C. Taylor, chief of the
bureau of navigation, is more officers
to man our warships. He declares
that the preparations now going on
lor the mobilization of the fleet for
the winter maneuvers In the West
Indies has brought the department
face to face with the critical condi
tion due to lack of officers, which, he
says, his reached such a point as to
be dangerous to the efficiency of the
fleet. He says that the number of off-
cers on our ships is less than the
number on board the shipe of other
navies, although, as a matter of fact,
our ships require more officers than
ether navies, because we are compell
ed to man our vessels with green
crews, having little or no knowledge
of sea life.
Present Needs of Naval Service.
He submits a table showing that the
present needs of the naval service
require 1,600 officers, while the num
ber on the navy list, including mid
shipmen after graduation, is only
1,023, or 577 short. This table is based
on the lowest possible number of of
ficers needed on our battleships. He
figures that th^ vessels now author
ized by congress, but not completed,

160 for casualitiee during the next
four years, or a total for the veesels
now building of 783. This number
added to the present shortage, 577,
will give 1,360. The graduates from
the naval academy during the next
four years will be 356, leaving a to
tal deficit July 1, 1906, of 1,005, not
counting officers for auxiliaries who
would be required in the event of hos
tilities, in addition to the increase of
midshipmen provided for by the last
congress.
Admiral Taylor therefore recom.
mends a further increase of midship
men, one for each congressman and
each senator; one from the District,
and ten annually at large. He also rec
ommends that the number of lieuten
ant commanders be increased to 30
lieutenant commanders (senior), anl
lieutenants (Junior) and ensigns, 350.
Concentration of Force.
A concentration of the naval force
In two big fighting oquadrons in the
North Atlantic and Asiatic waters is
recommended. For the present, two
squadrons are all that the present
number of our battleships wijjj permit.
To carry out this Admiral Taylor pro
poses to transfej* the battleships in
the remaining squadrons to one or the
other of these heavy squadrons and
compose the Pacific, European anJ
South Atlantic squadrons entirely of
cruisers.
Additional Torpedo Boat Flotillas.
It la also proposed to form addition

stroyer as a leading vessel, after tho
plan of the present group now in the
West Indies under the command rf

naval forces, Admiral Taylor says,
makee it desirable to have an officer
of high rank In command of each of
the great heavy fleets, and he recom-

Himself a Prisoner After Having Serv
ed On Force Quarter of a Century.
New York, Nov. 10.—After serving
over a quarter of a century on the
police force, ex-captain D. C. Moyolhan

fidavits sworn to by a w&rdman for
merly connected with the station of
which Moynihan was In command pri
or to his retirement, and by two Ital
ians.
The specific charge against the for
mer captain is alleged failure to en
force the law against a resort conduct
ed by Italians, and for which it is
asserted he was paid the sum of $40.
A police magistrate admitted the
prisoner to bail of $2,000, which was
immediately furnished.

Jackson, Miss., Nov. 10.—Report
reaches here from the western part

locate and punish the perpetrators of
the outrages and an attempt will be
made to break up the band.
