report the result of their canvass. Mrs.

Painful diseases are bad enough, but when

times worse than the most severe pain. There
is no let up to the mental suffering day or

such Il strain men are scarcely responsible for
what they do. For years the writer rolled and
tossed on the troubled sea of sexual weakness
until it was a question whether he had not
better take a dose OF poison and thus end all
his throubles- But prov!dential inspiration
came to mis- aid in the shape of a com bina ton
OF medici mes that not only completely restored
the general health, but enlarged his weak,

legal problems arose at once for the hus-

by deed OF gift and she had willed 1t all

The woman's heirs, about twenty in

BERKELEY, CAL, March 2.-The bat.
tie for the commandancy Of the University
Battalion, which position becomes vacant
upon the retirement of Lieutenant Winn
in May, is waxing hot. Five candidates
are in tie fielu for the place, and each is
storming the fort in hopes of capturing the
position. The board OF regents will proba-
bly, make the recommendation to the
Government of some one OF the five young
candidates at their meeting next Tuesday
The five who are after the position and
whose names have been spread abroad
among the students are Lieutenant Armes
OF the Presidio, who played center in the
Olympic team last fall; Lieutenant Nc
Cormack, an Olympic end; Lieutenant
Nolan, also of the Presidio and we'll
known athlete and social light; Lieuten-
ant Cloman, lately of the East, and Lieu.
tenant Anderson.
The situation with regard to the naming
of commander for the Berkeley post is a
peculiar one just at this time. Such bug
lear has the military service at the uni
versity become 10 the average student
that the regents instead of leaving the ap-
pointment of an officer to the position
entirely in the hands of Uncle Sam have
decided to take into consideration the
feelings and wishes of the cadets with the
hope of making the service more agree
able. Ordinarily an officer is detailed by
the 10 ilitary authorities at Washington to
take command OF the post without con-
sulting the likes and oisIikes of the
students, but this time matters have
changed, as may be seen from the follow
ing extract from letter written by Regent
Reinstein 10 the Students:
My attention has been called to the fact that
friendly feeling between the students of the
university and the commandart OF the cadets
might tend to increase the efficiency OF the
military instruction. A cordial relation be-
tween the commandant and students seems to
be strong factor in the selection OF such an
officer. The ques tion of naming the successor
TO the present officer has come up for consid.
Grafton before the regents.
