Secretary Long appears to have quite
explained away the misunderstanding
about that Strategy Board" which has
permeated the press for ten days or more
According to the Secretary. II never was
a strategy board. and that is doubtless
frightfully true. 1t was a war board
and nothing else. OF course. the distinc-
ton will be so obvious to every reader
that it would almost be insulting to his
sanity to describe the difference between
a strategy board and one devoted to the
more glorious and comprehensive purpose
of war. Our thanks are due to Mr.. Long
for his prompt and lucid explanation.

American Ingenuity.

One of the strong points of an Ameri-
can regiment, as The Times has once
or twice remarked, is its adaptability
One of the Pennsylvania regiments at
Camp Alger seems to think that the be-
ginning of the war is just as good a
time as any other to offer proof of this
fact. Not finding all the comforts of
home in their quarters. the boys pro-
ceeded in the most business-like way
to remedy the deficiencies. The most
serious trouble was a lack of water.
which, when large crowd Of healthy.
active men with large appetites are
congregated in small space, is a very
serious trouble indeed. If they had
been a regiment of London wharf-rats
they would have brought the water
from the nearest point, and growled
more or less over the "blymed country"

Americans. they did not do either.
There was a civil engineer in the regi-
ment, and he evolved a plan. On hear
ing it the company to which he belong
ed took up collection and bought a
pump and some pipes in town. Then,
under his direction, a well was dug near
the kitchen, and the regiment has had
all the water 1t has wanted ever since.
It is safe to say that the cook of that
Pennsylvania company is one of the
most contented men in camp. Another
regiment made an excursion into the
woods and cut down whole pine trees,
which they planted in front OF their
tents. and they do not suffer from the
heat very much. II these soldier boys,
and others like them. show themselves

they have in Virginia, the Spaniards

what every American knows, that our

The loss of the hair Is one of the most
serious losses a woman can undergo.
Beautiful hair gives many woman a
claim to beauty which would be utterly
wanting If the locks we're short and
scanty. 1t is almost as serious a loss when
the natural hue of the hair begins to fade.
and the shining tresses of chestnut and
auburn are changed to gray. or to faded
shadow of their former brightness. Such
a loss is no longer a necessity. There is
one remedy which may we'll be called a
great remedy by reason Of its great sue
cess in stopping the falling of the hair,
cleansing the scalp of dandruf, and re-
storing the lost color to gray or faded
tresses. DR.. Ayers Hair Vigor is stand
ard and reliable preparation, in use in
thousands of homes, and recommended by
everyone who has tested 1t and expert
euced the remarkable results that follow
its use. It makes hair grow. 1t restores
the original color to hair that has turned
gray or faded out 1t stops hair from fall
ing, cleanses the scalp of dandruf, and
gives the hair a thickness and gloss that
NO other preparation can produce.
