Advice to Mothers,

Mrs. Winslows Soothing Syrup should always
be used when children are cutting teeth. 1t re-

natural quiet sleep, by relieving the child from
pain, and the little cherub awakes as bright as

the child, softens the gums, allays all pain, re

Washington Special
There is a wonderful change in the face of
a Washington residence street during the hot
season. A month ago the pavements were lively
with the passing to and fro of carriages attended
by the sheen of blooded coach horses and brass
buttons, and now they are deserted as the
vaults of graveyard. Where also month ago
upon the door step sat radiant maidens, attired
n mule, now sit shiny faced black people.
The lords and ladies have gone to the seaside or
the mountains, and the servants are masters of
the house. The coachman or the doorman
with mis- wife and pcaninnies enjoy the fine
rooms and the lawns. Bare-legged children
scramble and tumble up and down
over the carpets, and Dinah receives her friends

day, one of these ladies said: Il had three

Secretary Endco.t Inaugurates a Reform.

Secretary Endico:t Inaugurates Reform.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 7.-Secretary Endicott
has prepared a surprise for army officers by
amending certain army regulations so as to
make them read as follows: ''An officer shall
not fill any staff appointment, other situation,
the duties of which will detach him from
his company, regiment or corps until
he has served at least three years with his regi-
ment or corps nor shall any officer remain de-
tached longer than four years, unless assigned
to special duty by the War Department. The
Secretary promulgates this change with the fol-
lowing order:
"All officers below the grade of field
officers who have been absent for period of
four years longer from their regiment
corps will be relieved from their present duties
as as practicable after the receipt
of this order and directed to report for
duty with their respective regiments
corps. In the selection of ades-de- camp
to fill vacancies created by the operation of the
last preceding paragraph, major and brigadier
generals will confine their selection to the
officers of the regiments of the line of the army
not prohibited in the regulations, and preferably
to subalterns"
This action on the part of Secretary Endcott
is in pursuance of his policy to provide for a
rotation of officers. Repeated efforts
have been made in Congress to secure leg
islation that would have the same effect
as the above regulation. but each attempt has
failed The Secretary of War accomplishes the
change by amending the regulations, which he
claims he has authority to do
