the organized militia be developed to

Rapid Reinforcement.
"It is manifest,” General Wother
spoon asserted, "that the great water
way of the Panama Canal cannot be
protected against the operations of a
first-class military power by the pres
ent or proposed garrison we contem
plate placing there without the power
and ability to reinforce it rapidly from
the United States.
Outlining his view of the army’s
first line requirements, General Woth
erspoon said:
“Careful consideration of our needs
would indicate the advisability and
necessity for having at all times avail
able at home, and in addition to the
necessities in our foreign possessions
In the first line of our military es
tablishment a mobile force of at least
500,000 thoroughly trained and thor
oughly equipped fightng men, with
adequate supplies for the operation of
this force for a period of at least six
months.
A Second Line.
“This is a conclusion that seems to
have been reached by all those who
have given careful consideration of
this question. It is also agreed that
we should have as a second line a
thoroughly equipped and trained force
of organized militia, of not less than
300,000 men properly proportioned as
to its staff and several arms with
stores and supplies necessary for its
ON THE INCURABILITY
OF BRIGHTS DISEASE
Suppose we agree with those whd
believe Bright’s Disease incurable and
use the term “life prolonged.’’ Now
let us cite three cases.
It was 22 years ago that the daugh
ter of the late N. W. Spalding, then
Mayor of Oakland was at the end of
a long siege of Bright's Disease with
dropsy and looked upon as hopeless.
It was 24 years ago that Mrs. M. Em
pey of Steiner. Street was in such a
condition due to Bright’s Disease and
dropsy that “two of our best physi
cians” gave her up. It was 14 years
ago that “the most noted analyst in
this city” passed on the genuineness of
the supposed incurable case of Bright's
Disease of Editor R. M. Wood of this
city.
A 1 of the above are pursuing their
daily avocations at this writing, Jan
uary, 1914.
The ability of Fulton’s Renal Com
pound to reduce albumen in many
cases of Bright’s Disease is not a
matter of opinion but a FACT IN
PHYSICS and we will mall formula
for albumen test that will show the
percentage from week to week. As the
albumen declines improvement com
monly follows, recoveries having been

Plan Outlined.
General Wotherspoon outlined the
plan through which he would double
the strength of the regular army and
create the reserve. The enlisted men
would serve a short term with the
colors, then pass into the reserves for
periods of five years or more, being
at all times under obligation to re
spond in case of national need.
General Wotherspoon contended that
the proposed system would be econ
omical inasmuch as the reserve offi
cers and men would receive pay only
during their active service and on be
ing called to the colors. He said he
saw no reason why the same princi
ple as to reserves should not he ap
plied to the organized militia. In that
connection, he says:
Organized Militia.
“It must be admitted that unless
there be a material change in the laws
governing the organized militia, which
will bring about a greater reliance
upon and an increased control by the
general government, that branch of
our military establishment cannot be
regarded and depended upon as a re
liable force.”
