CANNOT MUSTER COMPANIES IN.
This View Taken by an officer in
Washington-GOyer Powers.

The Washington Post of yesterday says:
Some differences Of opinion exists
among the War Department officials as
to the precise steps which shall be taken
to recruit for the volunteer army called
into service by the President. Although
the kilograms sent by the department 10
the Governors of the various States were
entirely those of inquiry. the inference IS
drawn that the Governors are given GER
tain prerOgatlyes in the work of raising
the volunteer army. This IS comDated
by some Of the law officers Of the war
Department, who hold that the act as
passed does not admit Of such interpre-
tation.
Major J. y. Morrison. assistant to the
judge-advocate of the army. and a high
authority on military law. expressed his
views on this subject which. however, he
said. were entirely unofficial and person
al. He says there Is no provision IN the
volunteer army act for any state, or the
Governor or other officer thereof, TO enlist
any OF the men Of either the regular or
volunteer branch Of the army, or Tor
them 10 have anything TO do with the
raising OF either branch except that the
Governors are to appoint certain deslg-
mated officers of the volunteer branch
The enlisted men are obtained In the
same way I'm both branches-that Is. by
voluntary contracts OF enlistment direct
w TO the United States. The Governors
have no more authority, he says, 10 raise
the volunteer branch than TO raise the
regular branch. and it Is not likely that
one Of them has a single dollar I'm the
state Treasury that can lawfully be USED
for raising either branch.
There is nothing in the act that can be
construed TO provide that any state or
ganization shall be transferred as a state
organization into the United States set
vice-'mustered in as the State volIn-
teer organizations Of 1861 TO 1865 We're
and II the militia officers are not APP
uointed as volunteer officers. or n they
are appointed and do not accept the APP
pointments. they will remain militia Diil-
GERS But II they are appointed ana do
accent the appointment. they Will prOba-
blv have 10 resign as militia officers II
they do not resign they Will simply mold
rvo onices-one in the State militia ond
one in the United States volunteer army.
The act assumes that members Of ne
state militia organizations will enlist IN
the volunteer army. but does not provide
for them 10 do sO-that H.. II does not fc-
ouire them TO do so. Any one else IL rs
clearly eligible TO enlist as they are. 1t
uight be. said Major Morrison. THAI un-
less something is done by their respective
governors 10 prevent IT, these militamcn
will find that their Obligations under the
state law. as members OF the State mill
tia organizations. will be obstacles IN The
way OF their entering the United STATES
volunteer service.

How 1t Was Stamped Out, After the
Modern Treatment Had Failed.
Thirty-three cases of diphtheria were
reported at Winneconne, Wisconsin,
and the schools were closed.
OF the thirty-three cases twelve were
subjected to so-called modern treat
ment; four of the twelve thus treated
died, death rate of 33 1-3 per cent.
Mr.. J. Ulrich, a resident of Winnie
come, had observed the marvellous
success Muco-Solvent had met with and
In his enthusiastic way induced many
mothers to use it. His own family was
one of the first injected, Muco-Solvent
being used to the exclusion OF every
thing else with splendid results.
Compared with other treatments, its
success was SO very pronounced, that
Muco-Solvent was generally adopted.
with the result that by it's use alone
the other twenty-five cases recovered,
not one proving fatal where Muco-Sol-
vent was depended on.

Every person, male or female, shrinks
from badness. 1t adds to the appearance
of age and is a serious discomfort The
cases are rare when the falling out of the
hair may not be stopped, and a new and
healthy growth of the hair promoted. The
hair grows in the scalp like plant in the
soil. If plant fourishes, it must have
constant attention; it must be watered
regularly. and find its food in the. soil
where it is rooted. It's SO with the hair.
Neglect is usually the beginning of bald
ness. Dandruff is allowed to thicken on
the scalp. The hair begins to loosen. The
scalp loses its vitality. The hair, insult
fciently nourished, begins to fade and TO
fall. The instant need in such a case is
some practical preparation which, sup
plying the needed nourishment to the
scalp, will feed the hair, give it strength,
and so produce strong and healthy
growth. All this is done by DIR. Ayers
Hair vigor, the most practical and valua-
BILE preparation for the hair that can be
obtained. 1t tones up the scalp, does away
with dandruf, stops the hair from falling,
restores the original color. to gray or faded
