No Orders to BE in Readiness
Issued.

New York paper today prints story
from this city telling how the District Nj
tioral Guard has been warned to be in
readiness for active service. and that the
notice has been sent down the line from
the Officers to the men. General Harries
when asked about the report today. sail
there was nothing in it. The District
Guard. he said. was always ready for sery-
Ice at moments warning whenever the
necessity arose. No rotice to be prepared
had been sent to the guard, and none was
needed.
Adjt- Gen Breck told a Star reporter to-
day that no action had been taken by the
War Department. so far as he knew. re-
specting the employment of the National
GIard of the District In any national serv-
Ice. He said positively that no orders had
been issued to the general commanding
the guard to have it in readiness for
instant service. 1t is possible, he said.
that General Harries may have told the
President or the Secretary of War in a
Jccuiar way that the guard was ready for
any required service, but il he did so it
was not, he was certain with any idea
that there was anything in the present sit
alton to require call upon the National
Guard.
Owing TO its peculisr relations to the
federai government it is probable that ii
the regular army needed reinforcements
the District National Guard would be call
ed out in advance of the National Guard
OF any OF the states, for the reason that
unnke the other organizations if IS directly
under the command of the President of the
United States The present strength of
the District National Guard is about I.SU
men. who, 1t is represented. would be really
&c move at twelve hours notice. The guard
is fuliy armed and equipped and is pro-
Nlsioned for three days. According TO the
official view expressed at the War Depart
nient there is no likelihood. however of
its being called into service for The nro-
lection Of the government; in the near
future.

In one of the main streets of Shelbyville,

her seventeen year old daughter, Cora. The
young lady ia one Of the charming misses of
the city, she being known for her beauty,
and perfect health.

said her msther to a reporter recently, "she
has net always been so fortunate. l suppose
Cora, until two years ago last March, was as
heslthy and strong as any girl of her age.
She was attending school and was studying
hard. Perhaps sha was too studious, for we
noticed that the healthy color in her cheek was
rapidly disappearing, and she was becoming
pale and sallew. Dark, swollen circles be-
gan to appear under her eyes, and she rapidly
becsme worse. We were living in Franklin,
Indiana, at the time, and Cora would have
graduated that Spring. She stopped attend
ing school and endeavored to get rest, but
her health kept failing. Her blood was color
less and impure. She would also have sick
headache, could scarcely eat or sleep, and
was almost continually in pain. Nothing
which we did for her seemed to do any good.
Different physicians treated and pre-
scribed for her, but she kept getting worse.
She had formerly weighed 1909 pounds, but
during her illness her weight had dwindled
down to 70 pounds. We began to think
there was nothing we could do for her bene-
fit, when happened to notice an article in
a paper regarding the merits of DR.. Williams
