A SWORN STATEMENT.

When my nephew was two weeks old he had
running sores on his face, neck, breast, and
hands, which continued TO grow worse They
looked like raw beef. Sometimes blood would
come and sometimes matter. He was awfully
bad. Why, we had never heard or read of
such a case. My sister had to tie his hands to
the hammock to keep him from scratching
himself, he itched so He often rubbed his
neck and face against his shoulders. The
doctor did little or no good. Said " it came
from the Blood etc. She heard of CUTI-
CURA (ointment) and bought har a box, and
finding it gave satisfaction she continued TO
use it. The bog is all acel no1o and his face is

HULL BILL MAJORITY REPORT
Special Reasons iAssigned for Artii-
lery Organization Proposed.

Washington, Dec 2l-Representative
Hull, chairman of the military committee
OF the house. today filed with the clerk
mis- report on the bill for the increase of
the regular army. After detailing the
amendments adopted in committee. all Of
which have been set out in the Associated
Press dispatches. the report says:
1.-THE bill fixes no maximum strength
for the entire army. Assuming that the
government Will require about 10000 for
defense of the frontier, for coast de-
Tense and to maintain our authority in
the islands for whose good order and gov
eminent this nation is now responsible,
together with a reasonable reserve force.
the bill provides for the regiments Of
cavalry and infantry 20 provide the num-
Der required for each arm Of the service
and corps of artillery for our seacoast
batteries with two regiments of artillery
for field batteries.
The committee believe the organiza ton
as provided for in the bill will make the
most efficient military organization. at
the lowest cost to the tax payers. of any
organization proposed by any bill before
congress.
The organization OF the cavalry as pro-
vided in the bill Is Substantially the
same organization now provided Tor by
law. The change in the present organiza-
ton is making fifteen captains in place OF
twelve and providing for a commissary
of the regiment By this increase Of rank,
the adjutant, quartermasster and commits
sary are given the rank OF captain. and a
commissary sergeant is also added. The
three extra first lieutenants for each reg
iment. to be available as squadron adju-
tants. II also provides for rle creation
Of A band for each regiment by enlis,ing
them as musicians. while under the pres.
ent law they are enlisted in the regular
force and detailed as musicians.
The organization OF artillery provided
for in the bin changes from the reginentai
formation 20 thai OF a corIes Of artillery
and as the artillery arm has so grown IN
importance the committee feel justified in
submitting the full reasons for the change.
The relation OF artillery organization

form may be best understood by brief
reference TO its history. Our present sys-
tenn dates back 10 1921. when the first four
