Not that he takes his pleasure seriously; quite the contrary, but he Mihi&r does put the same vim into it whether, 4 in the memorable words of Fighting Bob Evans, “it’s a frolic or a fight.” “Whatever he does," the -fleet athletic officer, Lieut. S. C. Hooper, remarks in summing up the situation, “he does right.” It is this determination to be satisfied with nothing short of the best that makes the Amer ican sailor such a power to be reckoned with, whether afloat or ashore, at work or at play. In athletics alone the American sailor is an expert; though many are not aware of the fact, and a football team made up of jackies is quite the equal in physique and prowess of the average col lege outfit. No nation in the world has devel oped athletics in the navy to the extent we have done, and so important does Uncle Sam consider the development of sports among the enlisted men that now every ship has its specially ap pointed afTlletic officer to direct recreative amusement; to encourage it there is no need. In contests with sailors of other nations in foreign ports, whether on the China station, in the Philippines or elsewhere, the American sailor emerges trium phant. But Jack has to have the equipment to begin with. He must have the spike nail shoes for baseball and the up-to-date outfit that goes with each sport, but given that he is then ready to be stow his whole at tention on getting there, and that he succeeds beautiful ly every athletic officer aboard ship will convice you. With great pride they will tell you how the men un der their command compare profes sionally with col- lege athletes not only in football but in wrestling, rowing, boxing or any other sport. So to further this specialty there is in the navy a regularly organized fleet athletic commit tee composed of five officers. Lieut. S. C. Hooper of the flagship Connecticut is at the head of it. This committee exercises a general oversight over all sports and arranges dates for regattas and sporting events. Outside the daily participa tion in sports, there are four distinct seasons when Jack Is put on his mettle so far as athletics go. They are when the games are pulled off at Guantanamo, Newport, Bar Harbor and Boston, when the fleet is together. At such times interest ashore is quite as great as aboard ship. If rooters for college games think themselves the acme of Infectious enthusiasm it is because they haven’t seen a navy contest. It takes a bunch of jackies, effervescing with the excite ment of an intership contest, to give the former cards and spades in emotional pyrotechnics, for the games are always vigorously contested, the various ship's crews being represented on the side lines, howling encouragement in their own peculiar fashion. As a rule competition in the events is elimina tive, the ships first contesting by divisions in championships playing each other for fleet cham pionship. - For the last two years the Connecticut team has won the football trophy—a wooden football, gilded. It is when the fleet is in southern waters for aerial target practice that baseball is particularly enjoyed. “Then,” says Lieutenant Hooper, “baseball par ties are landed each day and the games are as hotly contested as those of the major leagues. The men are as rabid ‘fans’ as those ashore and keep as sharp tabs on the official scores as any landsman. Each evening about 8 o’clock the scores of the various games in the National and American leagues are sent from the flagship by ‘radio.’ “When it comes to the boat races,” says the chief athletic officer, “the sailor is naturally in his element and the races are highly spectacular. The course is usually between the line of ships and as the boats skim over the waters all the men ‘man the rails’ and cheer their favorite team to the echo." For this competition the regular twelve-oared service cutter of the navy Is used, that is, unless, as sometimes happens, the men of a special ship get together and buy one of their own. Such a Waft is generally termed a “tailor-made” boat because of its superior style and finish. The Battenberg cup, presented by Prince Louis for the crew races, Is most desired and all efforts are bent at winning it. A large number of other cups have at various times been put up for com petition, among them one by August Belmont. Money prizes are sometimes offered, too, and a ship will sometimes win as tap ch as $5,000 in purses. One year the Indiana won that sum. and the Maine $2,800 in a special event, a three-mile race, which was pulled off in 26 minutes. On the same occasion the marines on the Indiana won a purse of $3,000 besides the Dutch challenge cup. In Guantanamo also occurs the final bouts to determine the fleet championships In boxing. For this the men train as industriously as though they were really the “white hopes” of the pro fessional class, and in spite of the fact that their i Wir Ai' * * He \ —■ - -=§B^* ■ ' V SS7/Jr > I mlS?***^ W tv oKTZ&r jTT training facilities are limited the navy has turned out some of the best men in the boxing world today. For example, there are Sailor Burke and Tom Sharkey, both graduates of the navy prize-fight ers, and Sammy Robideau, lightweight champion of the navy, who is considered one of the best lightweights in the country either in or out of the navy. “The constant change In the personnel of the men,” says Paymaster Bowne. “not only means constant work on the part of the officers to mold them Into shape, but it also means that Uncle Sam is just so much richer by every man who leaves the navy after serving his apprenticeship. He has just so many more to call on in case of necessity, for a man never forgets the A B C of the war game once he learns it. So for this reason, as well as because it contributes to the health and pleasure of the men, nothing they can get in the way of training is thrown away on them. “And, too, the sailor’s life is a ple^|b one. There Is lots of hard work, to be is plenty to eat. a clean place to share of recreation. In the matt«M as well as In other ways, the go^| more for its sailors than any o^ Where will you find ft a matter for® tion and concern it is with us? Ce« the British navy. “The superiority of the American^" athletics has been demonstrated often. are satisfied with nothing but the bes^H want to be expert In whatever they un^H therefore they train systematically and nished with every facility in the way of ment they need. This is provided for from R® canteen profits. It is arranged that the profits oR the ship's stores can be disposed of for this pur pose, so the men lack nothing in the way of paraphernalia that will conduce to their success In athletics.” “As an illustration of the aptness of the Amer ican sailor In athletics an officer tells this expe rience of his when on the China station. The ship was stationed at Hongkong and one day a group of American sailors tried to induce some British sailors to join them in a football game. The latter preferred soccer. Finally, however, the Britishers agreed; they would play football If our men would learn soccer. This was accord- Ingly done and the American sai lors beat the Britishers at their own game. One of the newest amusements provided for the sailors is the moving picture show, and this they enjoy hugely. The films are rented for the most part, though the navy recently bought a set which Mr. Edison took depicting the life of the sailor. This is very popular. How often exhibitions are given depends on the weather and where the ship happens to be. If in port where the men can get ashore, there is little need of spe cial recreation. But if on a cruise or the weather is bad, then the "movies” are given two or three exhibitions a week. Apropos of this feature Capt. H. B. Wilson of the North Dakota is considering a plan to introduce the Kinemacolor pictures soon. Another innovation which Cap tain Wilson is also responsible for, according to Paymaster Bowne. Is the setting aside of one of the gun compartments on the ship as a reading and writing room for the sailors. Though small, it is a great boon to them, for now they can write comfortably at a desk in stead of on their ditty boxes. More over. there are provided between thirty and forty magazines with two or three copies each of the dally papers, so the sailors, when at leisure, can pass the time read ing if they so elect. “The sailors like dancing.” adds Paymaster Bowne," and though they may not always take advan tage of the band concerts given every noon and night, if a popular air like ‘Great. Big. Beautiful Doll’ or something that especially appeals strikes up, the impulse will move them to take a turn around the deck. Personally Jack has a love of betting. Gambling amounts to a passion with him and at the big athletic events a considerable sum of money is apt to change hands. But Jack doesn t confine himself to big events, for as one sailor says, he bets at the drop of a hat. He carries his propensity for wagering to the possible destination of the ship, whether he will have salt or fresh water in which to wash his hammock, and a thousand and one things be side. You see one of Jack’s duties is to give his hammock a thorough scrubbing once a fortnight, and sometimes when the vaporizers that turn salt water into fresh fall to work he has to use salt water for the purpose. Every minute of Jack’s day has a correspond ing occupation for him, and from reveille, when the bugle's “I can't get 'em up" penetrates to every part of the big battleship, until taps is sonm^ the sailor’s life is a busy one.

Now the “smoking lamp” is lit and for a while Jack is lost in contemplation of the delicious weed. “Lighting the smoking lamp" is one of the pic turesque customs that have come down from the old navy and at this time the men are privileged to enjoy their pipes and cigars. In earlier years the smoking lamp, an ordinary copper affair, was brought up from below decks at stated intervals during the day, and it was the signal to “smoke up,” but while in more recent years the actual operation has been abandoned the term remains.

Many persons do not realize that a bad stomach will cause insomnia. Coffee and tea drinking being such an ancient and respectable form of habit, few realize that the drug—caf feine —contained in coffee and tea. Is one of the principal causes of dys pepsia and nervous troubles. Without their usual portion of cof fee or tea, the caffeine topers are nervous, irritable and fretful. That’s the way with a whisky drinker. He has got to have his dram “to settle his nerves” —habit. To leave off coffee or tea is an easy matter if you want to try it, because Postum gives a gentle but natural support to the nerves and does not contain any drug—nothing but food. Physicians know this to be true, as one from Ga. writes: "I have cured myself of a long standing case of Nervous Dyspepsia by leaving off coffee and using Post um,” says the doctor. ‘1 also enjoy refreshing sleep, to which I’ve been an utter stranger for 20 years. “In treating dyspepsia In Its various types, I find little trouble when I can induce patients to quit coffee and adopt Postum." The Dr. Is right and “there’s a reason.” Read the little book, “The Road to Wellville,” In pkgs. Postum now comes in concentrated, powder form called Instant Postum. It is prepared by stirring a level tea spoonful in a cup of hot water, adding sugar to taste, and enough cream to bring the color to golden brown. Instant Postum is convenient; there’s no waste; and the flavour is always uniform. Sold by grocers—so - tin 30 cts., 100-cup tin 50 cts.
