A health expert claims drinking free
ly of pure water is a most etfcacious
means not only of preserving health,
but often of restoring il when failing.
The majority of people find IT hard to
realize that the body should be kept
clean inside as well as outside. Clean
Hness of the tissues within the body is
as necessary to health and comfort as
cleanliness of the skin, and water tends
to insure the one as well as it does the
other. 1t dissolves the waste material
which would otherwise collect in the
body and removes IL in the various eX-
cretions. These waste materials are
often actual poisons, and their reten-
tion is the cause of many headache,
many rheumatic pains, many sleepless
nights and many attacks of "the blues"
There has not been enough water in
the body to wash them away, and con-
sequently the system has become
clogged and demoralized. If these few
facts about the Importance of water to
the human body were widely known
and generally put into practice they
would do more to promote the health
of the human race than all the drugs

THE ARMY ORDERED SOUTH.
Decidedly WariiIse Movement Taken at
WaAhIngton-2O 900 Troops WIN
Be Handy to Cnba.

WASHINGTON, April !6.-Decidedly
the most wal like step taken by the de-
partment in preparing for the possi-
bility of an encounter with Spain was
inaugurated yesterday when orders
were issued for the cnncentra tion al
four points in the south OF six regi-
ments of cavalry, % regiments of in
fantry and the light batteries of five
regiments of artillery. At Chicla-
Inauga there will be six regiments of
cavalry and the light batteries of five
regiments of artillery: at New Orleans
eight regiments of infantry: at Tampa.
seven regiments OF Infantry, and at
Mobile, seven regiments of infantry.
The department has SO distri uted
the 81 regiments of infantry at con-
venient places on the gnlf that they
will be accessible for transportation
to Cuba. Proposals have been invited
from the steamship companies for
chartering vessels to the government
for this work. Instructions to the
commanding officer of the regiments
ordered to move were sent out late
yesterday, with directions that they
be put into effect as soon as possible.
The command of the army will de-
volve upon Maj Gen. Nelson A. Miles,
who is now at the head of the military
branch of the government. His tenn
porary headquarters, it is said, prob
ably will be at Atlanta, where Gen.
Graham, who has command of the de-
partment of the gulf. is now located.

will depend entirely upon the exigen-
cies of the situation and the develop
nents of the campaign. He will leave

CRIME AND EDUCATION.
The Kansas State Superintendent of In
struction Compares the Expsndi-
tures for the Two Linsa.

TOPEKA, Kan, April 16.-The state
superintendent of public instruction,
William Stryker, has prepared a chart,
which he means to make use of at the
meetings through the state, in which
he draws a comparison in the expendi-
ture of funds for the taking care of
criminal classes and in educating the
children of the state. He says that
the cost to a county for the transporta-
ton of prisoner to the penitentiary
is from one to three times greater than
the average monthly salary of the
Kansas school-teacher and that in the
ajority of cases the conviction of
single criminal costs more than would
an extra month of school He reasons
that with more education there would
be fewer criminals.

TO CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS.
Bill Introduced I'm Congress Authorizing
the President to Ask for $4,000 to TO-.
900 Men-AnotheF Call Expected.

WASHINGTON, April 19.-Representa-
tive Hull, of Iowa, chairman of the
house committee on military affairs,
will, to-day, introduce an administra-
tion bill authorizing the president to
issue call for volunteers to the num-
ber of so, O0O or 10. 900 men. 1t will be
considered Immediately by the commit
tee, its passage expedited as rapidly as
possible, and will take effect immedi-
ately upon the presidents approval. Its
terms will authorize the president to
call on the various states for quotas in
making up the aggregate. Acting in
this way instead of specifically look
ing to calling out the various state
militia, will avoid several embarrass-
ing technicalities, q main one being
the constitutional inhibition ON send
ing state militia out of the country,
while volunteers so called for can be
ordered anywhere. 1t is likely that if
the situation develops in such grave
proportions as Is now expected, a
second call for 100000 volunteers
will be issued by the president. The
necessity for this immense number.
however, is not clear to the military
authorities at this time. The draft of
the present war measure has just been
framed by the war department ofh-
oials, and the leading members of the
military committee have already con-
ferred with the war department au-
thorities on the necessity on this line.
the latter having announced that a
maximum of $4,000 volunteers would
be sufficient at this time.

GUTHRIE, Ok, April l9. The story
that has been widely printed that !, 200
Cheyenne warriors are holding q ghost
dance on the North Canadian river, is
denounced ut Fort Reno as a false
hood. 1t Is not an unusual thing
for Indians around Darlington to
hold ceremonial dances every
week, but there is no danger of
an uprising. The Cheyennes are
called the populists of the Oklahoma
Indians and always have some kind of
a grievance against their agent. They
are frequently in half-starved condi-
tion, owing to their gluttony. No
sooner do they receive their rations
than they consume them as quickly as
possible, eating in a few days what
should last them two weeks.

CAMPAIGN IN CUBA.
Consul General Lee Gives the War :senArt-
ment Soms Valuable Iuformation in
Regard to tho island.


NKw YoRk, April IA dispatch to
the New York Times from Washington
says:
is expected that the forces that will be
used In Cuba will consist OF cavalry. infantry
and light artillery. Heavy artillery could
hardly he used in the wet season, and
besides It would not be necessary in
operations against the Spaniards. Con-
sui General Lee it is understood, advised the
use OF these branches OF the service for the
campaign In Cuba He Is OF the opinion that
the army can successfully conduct operations
in the island during the wet weather II it has
cavalry and light batteries. Rapid hre guns
and plenty OF them will be depended on very
largely to do the fighting.
1t is said that the Spanish forces in Cuba are
poorly armed. They have fairly good rine
the Mauser. but are inadequately supplied with
ammunition and most of the troops being
young boys. do not know how to use their guns
In rapid fire guns they are very deficient Artil-
lery Is their weakest point and they cannot now
supply the deficiency Even Havana Is de-
Tended by antiquated cannon, with the eXcep-
tion of six Ane new hrupp guns, which how
ever. have been allowed to rust on their car
riages and the artillerists do not know any
thing about their use.
Gen. Lee, it is understood. advised the war
department that few good regiments would
be sufficient for the first movements in Cuba
He relies very strongly upon the efficiency OF
the army under Gen. Gomez and Gen Garcia,
which would naturally be our allies In war.
He reports that the revolutionists have
an enective army OF 10000 troops,
which they could increase to I00,
900 almost any time II the arms
for them were found. Gomez has kept his
army in its present number because 1t was too
dir1cult to maintain large army in that coun-
try after its repeated devastation. and because
1900 men were enough to keep up the war and
crush Spain slowly. On the other hand, the
SpRniards have. he says. not more than 5000
to 65. 900 effective troops. II the revolutfonists
are armed and a small. but well disciplined
and seasoned army from this country is landed
in she island, he thinks the Spaniards will
have no chance for successful resistance
Another element in the war that Gen. Lee,
1t is understood. commented on is that SPANS
troops in Cuba are depending upon this coun-
try for food supplies The island can be en-
tirely shut on from food by the action OF
the United States 1t is estimated that
Havana would suffer as much as II IT
were actually besieged IL we should
prevent our ships from carrying any
thing for the Spaniards and the Spanish
ships from procuring supplies from our ports
Havana. IL is said by eonsuls and all who have
studied the condition of AFFAIRS on the island.

KEY WEST. Fla, April 19.-Two COM
panies of Twenty-fifth infantry were
disembarked at Key West yesterday.
Though they were fresh from the re-

of policy which contemplates the

best fitted to withstand that climate.
