The marked benefit which people in run
down or weakened state of health derive
from Hoods Sarsaparilla, conclusively proves
the claim that this medicine "makes the weak
strong" 1t does not act like a stimulant,
imparting fictitious strength from which there
must follow reaction of greater weakness

Hoods Sarsaparilla ovcrcomes that tired feel

SALTWATER NEWS.
EIks Addressed by Judge Cory, OF
ST. Paul.

The memorial services held by Still
water Lodge of ElkS in the lodge room
Yesterday afternoon were beautiful and
impressive. and glowing tributes were
paid to the departed dead of the local
lodge by fellow members of the order.
Since the organization of the Saltwater
l,,dge only one member has crossed the
divide, bat that member was universally
loved and honored by his brothers, and
the memorial slab III the hall bearing
his name was handsomely adorned by a
wreath of roses, carnations and forget
me-nots. After the reading of
the printed service several eX
cellent musical seelections were rem
dered by quartette composed of Miss
MOilie Robertson, George 0. Haskell
and Mr.. and Mrs. W. c. MaSterman,
and addresses were made bv Judge H.
w. Cory, of st. Paul, and Hon. E. w.
Durant and DR.. w. II. Caine, of this
city.
Mrs. Isaac Staples is seriously ill, and
members of the family fear that she will
not recover.
There are only two more civil cases
to be tried by the petit jury. These are
the actions of John leighton VS.. The st.
Paul IL Duluth Railroad Company and
Hannah ID. Seymour VS.. The Chicago
Guaranty Fund Life Society. Court
conveneS at 10 a. M. today, and the TAX
ng of testimony i'll these two cases will
probably not be completed until tomor-
row evening.

Concentrating Troops.

The question as to the proper policy
that should govern the distribution and
location of the army presses for consid
Grafton and settlement. The tendency
of distribution hitherto has been TO
abandon small and isolated posts and
concentrate the troops IN large garri-
sons. This has been attended with good
results, as troops can be more economi-
cally maintained in large than in small
garrisons. 1t is suggested, therefore,
that the small posts be gradually aban-.
doued and that regimental posts be esl
tabiished ia each of the larger states
which are now without them. They
should be located at Or near the prinel-i
pal commercial centers, where trans
portation facilities are ample, and move
ments of both men and supplies may be
rapidly and economically made. The
army could be maintained under these
conditions much cheaper than ever be-
fore in its history. 1t is thought that
the cities, near which such posts may
be located, should be required by con-
greSs to donate to the government Sutfi-
cient land, say 1000 acres, in eonsldera-
ton Of building and maintaining such
posts in their immediate vicinity.
