soc. and 81. 90 at all druggists-

rfimed may enter the training school
and become scadet," with opportuni-
ties for promotion TO captaiucy or first
lieutenancy after six months training.
somewhat peculiar rule OF the army
reads as follows:
"The moral standard of candidates for
the training school and of officers shall
not be lower than that which exists In
the church army of England.
IL is further specified that:
'AiI officers, soldiers, and recruits are
expected to try, with Gods help to win
at least one drinking person 10 Christ
and the Church within each year, and
otherwise serve The army as instructed by
their superior offcers.'
The uniform OF the officers Will be
brilliant, to appeal TO the classes among
whom they win chiefly work. The uni
form OF the male staff officers will be
black and gold; of the female STAFF
officers dark blue and gold. The travel
ing companies will have uniforms OF very
dark green with buttons OF green shade
lighter. All officers wear shoulder
straps. The regulation uniform for the
women will beea close fitting tailor made
jacket and plain skirt with a Mare Stuart
bonnet. So much for the army proper. Ii
is provided in postscriptum TO the pros
pectus that:
"a post or mission may be started in
any place where several denominations
desire to unite TO do rescue work under
United States Church Army rules and
regulations, the recruits being free to
unite with the church OF their choice.
''Such missions now in operation may
apply to become patrons with a special
uniform for officers"
Such posts may choose their own uni-
form. Many of them will wear the bright
nd VIZ ~ ha rfafi 10 n
Union, hat others will have a distinctive
gsrb, such as the Saugerties company,
uniformed in gray by Col. Latin, the
powder manufacturer. A distinctive mil
itary feature will be the travelling COM
panies, OF two kinds, the chariot COM
panies and the tallyho companies, which
will work in small towns of the railroad
lines, where church work is likely TO be-
cUmg very lax. ifhe chariot companies
are composed OF four experlenced.w W orkers
each, who travel by wagon, known as a
.'chariot." One must be q driver, zone a
bugler, one a fifer, and the fourth a
drummer, and all must be able TO sing
end speak. They drive into a town and
hold an open-air meeting for. half an hour
in the evening, the route having been
previously been determined by on ad-.
vance agent ana the meeting having
been advertised, and then 60 into the
church, bringing in all the people pos
sible from the outside. The ally-ho com.
panies are on the same order, but each
tally-ho carries ten or twelve workers.
= his latter is new experiment. Already
the army has had as many horses as are
needed offered to Its service. II is expect
ed that Dy the middle OF July a tally-ho
with four horses and twelve workers will
start from here westward and southwark.
Locally the work OF the Church Army
will be somewhat on the order OF the Sal
ka,
been esta blished in the worst parts Of
the slums where those training for rescue
work learn their lessons. In each camp
are number of "dou BILE. decker" cots,
like sleeping car berths. Any person APP
plying for aid who seems desirous of re-
forming gets a chance, and one of these
cots, which is shared by cadet of the
tiaining school. The applicant is a
"guest" OF the camp, and is expected to
stay there thirty days at least under the
special care OF his cadet, who sees that he
is kept clean and decent, and helps him to
find work. At the end OF thirty days the
"guest" has an opportunity to become a
candidate for army honors. This system
has proved most successful.
