In 1906 he sufferc-d a stroke of

NOT EOUAL IB

(Continued from page 1)
position Dropounded by secretary I
Dank'ls when the administration
reached its decision to enter upon
u campaign of national prepar-1
ednuss: "What the navy must be
In ihe future in order to Etajid up
on a a equality with the most effi- [
clent and most practically service
able."
The board's conclusions follow:
"The navy of the United States
should ultimately be equal to the
most powerful maintained by any
other nation of the world. It should
be gradually increased to this point
by such a rate of development year
by yoar, as may be permitted by the
facilities of the country, but the
limit above defined should be at
tained not later than 1925."
Tie board developed its idea of
*he ulace the American, navy should
hold In the world in. the folio-wing
language;
"The General board believes that
the course of the present war in
Europe affords convincing reasons
lor modifying the opinion which it
has expressed for the paat 11 years
as to the proper size of the navy.
A navy in firm control of the seas
from the outbreak of war ia the
urime essential to the defense of
a country situated as is the United
States bordering upon two great
oetm. -
"A navy strong enough only to
defend our coast from actual inva
sion w'H not suffice. Defense from
invasion is not the only function
of the navy. It must protect our
sea-borne commerce and drive that
of (he enemy from the 6ea. The
best way to accomplish all these ob
jects is to find and deaf eat the
hostile fleet or any of its detach
ments a» a distance from our coast
sufficiently great to prevent inter
ruption of our normal course of na
tional life,
"The current war has shown that
a navy of the Bize recommended by
this board ia previous years can
no longer be considered as adequate
to the defensive needs of the Un
ited States. Our present navy is
not sufficient to give due weight to
the diplomatic remonstrances Qf
the United States in peace nor *-o
enforce its policies in war."

If you see a woman or a man wltn lux
uriant glossy hair, you may be sure nei
ther has dandruff to amount to anything.
In nearly every case where women and
men have thin brittle hair, they owe It
to dandruff. There are hundreds ot prep
arations that "claim" to cure dandruff,
but not one but Newbro'c Herplcldo tells
you that dandruff Is the result of a germ
burrowing into the scalp, and that per
manent cure of dandruff and Its conse
quent falling and baldness, can only be
had by killing the germ; and there Is no
other preparation that will destroy that
germ but Newbro'a Herplcide. 'Destroy
the '•ai'se, and you remove the effect."
