MASTERING OUT is EASY

Washington, Aug. 2.-The war depart
ment has not yet made out Its lists Of
regiments TO be mustered out Of the ser
vice, but has been in constant communi-
cation wit tlvarious sections of the coun-
try on the subject. At first it was thought
that the demand to remain in the service
would prove embarrassing to the depart
ment. as so many troops desired TO con-
tinue in service. II is now believed that
there has been a change of sentiment and
the officers and men of regiments that see
no possibility OF further fighting are will
ing TO go back to their vocations. Some
want to go to the new possessions but
others, 1t is said, see no glory in policing
Santiago and other captured points where
there IS nothing TO do. Some Of the troops
are also becoming weary Of camp life
The First Alabama. it is understood, has
been selected for mastering out at its
own re1uaSt.

HE FEARED PRIvATEERs

New York, Aug. 22-The American ship
McLaurin arrived here today from Sing
apore. Captain Cakes, her commander,
says that he learned of the commence
ment of slostilities between Spain and the
United States when he was off Anker,
and thereafter a bright lookout was kept
for Spanish privateers, and all vessels
at sea were avoided. Arriving off St.
Helena, the McLaurin put into the island
for water and TO pick up any informa-
ton about the war, but the latest news
was a month old. Captain Cakes kept
the ship out of the usual course to avoid
capture, thus delaying her arrival here
several days.

DESERVING CAMP THOMAS

Chickamauga, Aug. 22-Judging from
present indications. Camp Thomas, the
largest military camp of the Spanish
American war, will soon be a thing of the
past. a number of regiments have already
home A number of others have been
ordered to Knoxville, Tenn, and Lexing-
ton, KY, and now comes an order to Col
onel Wheeler, actinng chief quartermas-
ter, to secure bids from railroads to con-
vey all regiments remaining at the camp
to their respective state capitals. The
idea seems TO be TO set the regiments
to places where they can be mustered
out close to home, the necessity for keep
ing the army intact being no longer in
evidence.
Numerous regiments are now making
preparations to leave and by the end of
the week the population of the camp is
expected TO be reduced to one-half what
ii now is. The regiments ordered TO
Knoxville and Lexington will be moved
as rapidly as transportation can be Sc
cured and as soon as these are got out
those ordered nome will be started on
their way.
The First Georgia and the Thirty-first
Michigan left a midnight for Knoxville,
where they viii so into camp. The
Twelfth Minnesota and the Fifth Penn
sylvania will leave at an early hour to-
morrow for Lexington, and others OF the
Second and Third divisions of the First
corps viii follow in short order. The am
bulance company of the Third division
goes to Knoxville tomorrow morning.

THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS

is due not only to the originality and
simplicity of the combination, but also
to the care and skill with which it is
manufactured by scientific processes
known to the CALIFORNIA Flo SYRUP
Co. only, and we wish to impress upon
all the Importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. AS the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co.
only, knowledge of that fact will
assist one in avoiding the worthless
limitations manufactured by other par
ties. The high standing of the CALI
FoRNIA FIG SYRUP Co. with the medi-
cal profession, and the satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families, makes
the name of the Company guaranty
of the excellence of its remedy. 1t is
far iG advance of all other laxatives,
as it acts on the kidneys, liver and
bowels without irritating or weaken
ing them, and it does not grippe nor

TRANSMISSION OF TUBERCULOSIS
Following IS an editorial taken from the
current number OF a medical journal:
A correspondent writes 10 the London
Lancet with some degree Of disquietuds
that he has found proofs Of tho existence
OF tuberculosis In fowls sold In the Loa-
don market. The fears OF this correspon~
dent are set at rest. however. by the az.
surance that there is not much grouno
for suspecting the transmission OF ovian
tuberculosis 20 man. for, according 70
Koch and other observers, there Is a de-
cided cultural difference between the tu-
berculosis affecting man and that anect-
ing birds. Birds are almost immune
against human tuberculosis. and the con-
verse is probably true. Moreover, fowls
are nearly always served thoroughly Wei
done.
None of these factors, however. act
as a bar against infection from eating
tuberculous beef. The bacillus there ~
practically. or quite, Identical with that
affecting man; the OK IL by no means
immune to tuberculosis transmitted
through man, and experience has shown
that man may contract tuberculosis
through the OK. Moreover, beef Is ire
quently eaten very rare. or even raw. ana
there is. therefore decided danger OF the
ingestion NJ bacilli Of tuberculosis by
beef-eaters. II Is for this reason that ef-
forts are being made by the governments
OF Massachusetts, and New York to stamp
out tuberculosis In cattle. Unfortunately.
however. the inspection OF cattle intended
for the market Is carried out only for
the large cities. and whether or not the
danger is really as great as Is apprehend-
ed bv some. the majority OF our citizens
must continue as heretofore TO be sub
iected TO Il. In Germany, where the in-
spection Of meat has been carried on
