General Wood Paints Doleful Picture of Army to Congressional Committees. Washington.—Explaining that his judgment was not influenced by the Mexican situation, Major Genera! Wood, chief of staff of the army, lias advised committees of congress that they should appropriate $3,000,000 for field guns and ammunition “If you sent our troops into war as they are now, without guns or ammu nition, it would be absolute slaugh ter,” the general told the house mili tary committee. “If called into the field suddenly, we should have to go with a small allowance of ammunition, and we should have neither guns nor ammunition enough for our field artil lery forces.” General Wood, in a written state ment, said; "We neither have guns nor ammuni tion sufficient to give any general com manding an army in the field any as surance of success if attacked by an army of equal size which is supplied with its proper quota of field artil lery. “It is my belief that no modern war between first class powers will last for one year, and unless private manu facturers are encouraged to manufac ture ammunition for our guns, after war is declared, they will not be in a condition to do so until after the war is finished. “The war department believes after extended study that, in cases of war with a first class power, an army of 500,000 men will be needed to give this country any chance of success against invasion, and that this force will be needed at once.” The general suggested that the United States regular mobile army should be organized into three infan try and two cavalry divisions with an aggregate war strength of about 75,000, requiring 54 batteries, or 216 guns.

Good Bowels Are An Aid to Growth Growing Children Need a Mild Laxative to Foster Regular Bowel Movement. As a child grows older it requires more and more personal attention from the mother, and as the func tions of the bowels are of the utmost importance to health, great attention should be paid to them. Diet is of great importance, and the mother should watch the effect of cer tain foods. A food will constipate one i and not another, and so we have a . healthy food like eggs causing bilious ness to thousands, and a wholesome fruit like bananas constipating many- It is also to be considered that the child is growing, and great changes are taking place in the young man or young woman. The system has not yet settled itself to its later routine. A very valuable remedy at this stage, and one which every growing boy and girl should be given often or occasionally, according to the individ ual circumstances, is Dr. Caldwell s ! Syrup Pepsin. This is a laxative and tonic combined, so mild that it is given to little babies, and yet equally effective in the most robust constitu tion. At the first sign of a tendency to constipation give a small dose of Syrup Pepsin at night on retiring, and prompt action will follow in the morn | ing. It not only acts on the stomach and bowels but its tonic properties build up and strengthen the system generally, which is an opinion shared by Mr. John Dey of Bloomfield. N. J He has a large family and at ages where the growth and development How He Made It Out. Mrs. Jones and Johnny had only a few minutes ago boarded the train when the conductor called for "tick ets.” Mrs. Jones immediately pro duced hers. “How old Is your boy, madam?” Quick as a flash Johnny was down between the seats on his head and the mother replied, “Six years old.” As this procedure was not understood, and as Johnny looked too large for six years, the conductor said, “I did not understand you, madam.” Johnny grinned and spoke out proudly, “Don’t you know that nine turned upside down is six?” Calumet the Secret of Economy The high cost of living nowadays, and the way prices are steadily climbing sky wards, is making economy in the kitchen even more important than it was in the good old days of our thrifty ancestors. But how to achieve economy? There’s the rub! In many lines, it depends almost en tirely on the housewife’s knowledge of foods and on her watchfulness—but for tunately, in one lirfe, baking, economy can be made almost automatic by the use of the famous Calumet Baking Powder. Economy in baking, as every good cook knows, depends not so much on economy in buying the materials as on the success of her bakings. Failures mean waste— bigger losses by far than the savings she ■ makes in buying. And the fact that Caiu- ! met absolutely prevents failures and ! makes every baking successful has made | it the favorite of every cook that seeks to be economical. In other words, Calu- ! met is the secret of economy in baking. It is the purest, too—attested by hun- ; dreds of leading physicians—and as for its general quality, it is enough to say ; that Calumet has received the highest i awards at two World’s Pure Food Exposi- 1 tions—one in Chicago, 111., and the other in Paris, France, in March, 1912.

The Secret of Health is Elimination of Waste Every business man knows how difficult it is to keep the pigeon holes and drawers of his desk free from the accumulation of useless papers. Every housewife knows how difficult it is to keep her home free from the accumulation of all manner of useless things. So it is with the body. It is difficult to keep it free from the accumulation of waste matter. Unless the waste is promptly eliminated the machin ery of the body soon becomes clogged.

MAKES AIM ALMOST CERTAIN Invention Said to Guarantee Every Shot a Bullscye, Even in the Dark. Charles Pechard. a police official of Paris, has invented an attachment that enables one to shoot a revolver more accurately in the dark than in broad daylight, the New York Inde pendent states. . This attachment consists of a metal lic tube with a lens at one end and a tiny electric lamp at the other. By means of mirrors the light is directed Gut through the lens as a slender cone, and is sufficiently strong at a distance of some four rods for all practical pur poses. In the middle of the illumina ted field there is a small dark spot which coincides with the line of the bullet's flight. This enables the inex perienced shooter to hit a selected part of the burglar’s anatomy with more certainty than he could display in ordinary target practice. The electric current is supplied by a small dry battery or a storage battery, which the officer can carry in his pock et or which the defender of the home can place under his pillow. The light tube can be attached to an ordinary pistol, and it may be used as a flash with peaceful intent or merely as a show of force. THICK, GLOSSY HAIR FREE FROM DANDRUFF Girls! Beautify Your Hair!
