WhatAre Stronger Than Facts?

Aulander, N. c., Oct. 13, 1900.
To Mrs. Joe Person:
My little boy was sorely troubled with
impurities of the blood, and the result
was boils and sores on his body to such
an extent that he could not rest while
lying on his back or side, but for three
weeks he had to lie with his face down,
and turn his head from side to side to
rest it. After consulting a prominent
physician he told me to try your Remedy,
which / did. After using it short time
he was completely cured, and his general
health restored.
At the same time that my little boy
was afflicted with these sores and boils,
his bowels were in a very bad condition,
and this medicine effected complete
cure of them.
1 recommend said medicine as Great
Remedy, and would not be without it in
my home.

Reserve Volunteer Army to Be Formed

to- Its ( e.eLce.


WASHINGTON. April 1.-Representatl'e
Hay of Virginia, one OF the proiiiiiioii.
members Of the military committee u
the House, has prepared Wlln SO ie1''
care a bill to create out OF the liiii''i'
of the several states a reserve 'oi"iA-

s,,nnlement the regular army.
Tho hill contemplates general

divisions and corps, with the three pat
TALON formation as IN the reg a. ny
and is designed to obviate the neces-
sitv of a large standing army upon tile
expiration OF the present law July J.
1901. increasing the standing army ~
g.. 600 and authorizing the present Wi
unteer army of $4,000.
The bill will be introduced in the
House. tomorrow, and receive auul-
,iop.I inheritance from the fact that
Mr. YJav is chairman of the Democratic
caucus.
The bill makes all citizens between
the ages of is and 40 liable to military
service in the volunteer army.
It appropriates $4000,000 annually fol
the maintenance and equipment OF the
National Guard of the several states
thus forming the nucleus of the Noluh-
teer army and requires the secretary o
war to keep in each state a supply oI
ordinance stores sufficient for 80 days
use of the National Guard of the state
in the event of war.
1t provides a system of mobilization
for the guard by dividing the states
into military divisions and provides fol
a board Of officers in each state who
shall hold examinations for the posi-
ton of md lieutenant in the National
Guard, such officers to be promoted for
peril and efficiency.
The time has come said Mr.. Hay
today, in explanation of his bill, when
it is necessary to consider carefully
the question of the future military IS
Enlistment of the United States. II
the minds of many the maintenance
of a large standing army seems nee
essity and at first blush it would seen
that there is no other way out Of tht
difficulty which now confronts Us. :
careful consideration of the question
has led to the belief that the situation
can be met without a resort to that
worst enemy of a republic, a large
and permanent military establishment
conservative men will seek some
means by which the regular establish
ment can be reduced to a minimum
compatible with the requirements Of
the country in time Of peace ana at
the same time will offer some plan b.
means of which an efficient army car
be placed in the field should we unfor-
tunately engage in war"

The infantry attack was delivered at
