A Suggestion.

The Army and Navy Journal, says:
If the Fort Mcpherson court martial
proceedings will help to do away with
the obsolete system of enforced resi-
dence at army posts of the families of
officers, it will have served at least one
useful purpose. So long as the army
was stationed in the wild west' 1t
was OF course necessary for the govern
ment to provide facilities in the way of
residence, etc, but wherever, as is now
generally the case, the vicinity of d
post affords such facilities, officers aud
their families ought to be permitted to
dwell wherever it suits their means or
convenience, as is done in all civilized
European countries. Such officers as
the necessity may require to remain
at the posts over night could take their
turn for that duty, as is done in the
case of guard duty. The enforced
residence, in close juxtapositiop, of
families who might find themselves
placed in an uncongenial position, can
only tend to diScord and trouble. An
other disagreeable feature, that of
frequently shifting of quarters by the
arrival of an officer claiming assign
ment according to his rank, could also
be zone away with if there were no
quarters to be assigned. There would
seem to be no more nece ssity for an
officers family living at military
post than for policeman's family
living in the station house. The wo-
men and children are not needed
there, and their absence would be in
many respects benefit to the service.

ing higher duty on certain products
of the west, it is reported that he will
be joined by Senator Wolcott Of Colo
RADIO in demanding provision to the
effect that any country which shall en-
ter into a bimetallic agreement with
the United States shall be allowed a
discount of ID per cent of the tariff
rates upon the sproducts sent by such
nations to this country. One objection
alre ady urged against this provision is
that, in order to get the benefit of the
dicount on tariff rates, Mexico and
Central and South America countries
will enter into bimetallic agreement
and consequently the new tariff will
fall short of raising the revenues need
ed to cover the treasury deficiencies.

Small but Effective

was the little Monitor that met the
Merrimac at Hampton Roads. So too
are DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets, eff
fective in conquering the enemy-dis-
ease. When you take a pill it's an
important point to have them small
provided they have equal strength and
efficacy. You find what you want in
these little liver pills of DR.. Pierce.
They're put up in better way, and
they act in better way, than the
huge, old-fashioned pills. What you
want when you're :'all out of sorts''-
grumpy, thick-headed and take a
gloomy view of life, is these ''Pellets,"
to clear up your system and start your
liver into healthful action. Sick
headache, bilious headache, constipa-
ton, indigestion, bilious attacks, and
all arrangements of the liver, stomach
and bowels, are prevented, relieved
and cured. Put up in glass walls, and
always fresh and reliable.

The Best Remedy for Rheumatism.

From the Fairhaven, IN. " Register,
Mr.. James Rowland of this village,
states that for twenty-five years his
wife has been a sufferer from rheuma-
tism. A few nights ago she was in
such pain that she was nearly crazy.
She sent Mr.. Rowland for the doctor,
but he had read of Chamberlain's Pain
Balm and instead of going for the ply
stefan he went TO the store and secured
bottle of it. His wife did not approve
of Mr.. Rowland's purchase at first, but
nevertheless applied the balm thor
Oughly and in hours time was able to
go to sleep. She now applies it when
ever she feels an ache or pain ard
finds that it always gives relief. He
says that no medicine which she had
used ever did her as much good. The

pear to be unable to sustain anything
more than a skirmish. The Greeks
have abandoned Volo, at the head of
the gulf of that name and the principal
port of Tnessaly and the Turks are re-
ported to have captured Velaslino, the
railroad junction nearly midway be-
tween Volo and the Greek headquar-
tiers at Pharsala. The Turks in strong
force also occupy Trikala. on the rail-
road on the opposite side of the Greek
position. This being the situation, and
the Greek army thoroughly demoraliz-
