TO REDUCE THE STRENGTH.
Program For Withdrawing Part of the Army
From the Philippines
(By the Associated Press

(By the Associated Press
Washington, May 3.--It is expected that
within a day or so program will be
completed at the War Department for a
substantial reduction of the present
strength of the United States army in
the Philippines. The regular troops now
there, who have seen the most service
are the Fourth, Eighteenth. and Twenty
third infantry, and one battalion of the
Third artillery. They went out to Manila
in 1898 in the first expedition under Gen
eral Anderson and if the announced pol
icy of the Department, heretofore lived
up 10, is continued, these will be the
first organizations to return to the Uni
ted States. Some OF these troops will be
replaced with the new levies just raised
in this country. 1t has not yet been de-
termined how large a reduction will be
made. The Department is also arrang-
ing to transfer number of the enlisted
men from one branch of the service TO
another, with view to securing the ball
ance of proportions contemplated in the
reorganization Bill Enlistments are
being made in satisfactory numbers These
enlistments will soon bring the army up
to the maximum of $4,000 men. At pres
ent the infantry and cavalry under the
schedules recently approved by Secre-
tary Root are practically complete, or
would be if the excess Of men in different
regiments were transferred to other regi-
ments in process of formation. The ar
tillery is still short and the transfer prop
osition contemplates taking men of ex-
perience in the infantry and cavalry arms
and assigning them to the artillery if
they should prefer that service. II not
the new enlistments will have to be made
for the artillery in order to increase that
branch TO the maximum of Is 600 men.

The engineer misunderstood the signals
and there was frightful railroad collis-

country was appalled, by that accident.
There is doubtless far greater loss of
life occurring every day, in various sec

excuse is" the doctor didn't under
stand the symptoms" These cases are
not the subjects of special inquest or the
country would be aghast at the sacrifice
of life to ignorance.

M7S. HATEDDER'S FUNCTION.

Mrs. Bud Hatedder felt that she
should give some sort Of social blow
out. She had been invited to several
social doings and she saw her finish
unless she could get in and give somc-
thing herself. She led up to the SUBJ
ject and explained to Bud how deeply
she was involved in social indebted
ness. And having made favorable
impression, she archly said:
"Now Buddy, what do you think I
should give?"
Chow long have we been married?"
inquired Bud.
Eleven years." replied Mrs. Hated
der.
"Well, what's the matter with giving
a silver wedding" replied Bud. "Let's
give something that there's something
in"
Mrs. Hatedder had some difficulty
in explaining to her husband, the ut
ter and absolute absurdity OF the sug-
gestion, when there were so many in
their set who knew exactly when they
were married, and if not sure of their
dates had only to turn to Bud Jr., and
follow up the ages Of the six other
Hatedders to calculate to nicely the
date of the nuptial ceremony.
So it was agreed to give a "Pink
Tea" Bud said that green tea was
good enough for him, but in tho in.
terest of something swell let it be pink
and the pinker the better. In fact, if
it would not contribute too forcibly to
the gaiety of the nations he would vote
for red tea. He had painted the town
with nothing but quart of red tea
aboard and remembered that it was a
night ruddy and red with the glare of
gorgeous grandeur.
Having settled this momentous
question, Mrs. Hatedder asked her
husband what form OF amusement he
would suggest? Tag, pussie-wants.a-
corner, pom-pom-pull-away and old
sledge were all rejected in their order,
and Bud fiji " declared that any old
thing would do, as far as he was con-
cerned, so long as the limit was not
too high. 1t was then that Mrs.
Hatedder decided upon questions
and answers. The one solving the
largest number of problems to get the
prize, hand painted salt celler, to be
taken with just one grain OF salt-that
was all one could get through tin
this climate.
The questions were as follows:
"Where do the flies go to in win.
ter?"
Does the debt OF nature draw in.
terest?"
How much would it cost to sprinkle
the Desert of Sahara?"
"Could a creamery be organized to
tap the Milky Way3"
The party took place in due time
and there was only one lady present
who answered all the questions cor.
rectly. She rooms in the same flat

A Simple Lampshade.

An extempore shade can sometimes
be used with comfort, and can be
made in a few minutes as follows
Take half q sheet OF letter paper, or
any similar piece of stiffish paper, turn
down about an inch and half OF one
side of it and emphasize the turn by a
scrape of the finger along the fold.
Then open the turned strip part away
and set the strip under the front edge
of the shades of the lamp, between the
shade and the frame in which it rests.
The rest Of the sheet is to stand up in
front of the shade. The hold Of the
bent paper will keep the sheet against
the glass shade, and the paper will
agreeably modify the effect of the
light on the eyes, without keeping any
OF it from the table.

THE NiCARAGUAN CANAL.
The Project Comes to a Sudden and Uusxpect
ed Halt.

The Project Comes to Sudden and Uuexpect.
ed Halt.
A Washington dispatch OF the 18th
says that those Senators who have
been confident that Great Britain
would speedily accept the Hay-Paunce-
fote treaty as amended without de-
manding concessions in return have
had their ideas disturbed. Through
the State Department an intimation
comes that in order to protect vested
interests Of its own citizens, Great
Britain must either reject the treaty
or secure an understanding in advance
that in case OF the construction of the
Nicaraguan canal, these interests will
be recognized, or if necessary, pur.
chased by the United States.
This position is taken because OF the
startling discovery that British COM
pany owns a thirty-year concession
obtained from the Nicaraguan govern
ment in 1897 by which they have an
entire monopoly of transportation on
the San Juan river from Nicaragua
Lake to the Caribbean Sea. The
plans of the proposed ship canal con-
template using the course of the San
Juan river mentioned. Unless re-
moved this is an absolute bar to the
ownership of the canal by the United
States until 1927.

miserable looking fellow boarder who
was tortured by dyspepsia. Hello
Smith," he cried, "aren't you feeling
well?" And Smith growled back "Its
none of your business how I'm feeling"
Talk about adding insult to injury!
What could be any worse than asking a
man who had suffering stamped all over
him, AREN'T YOU feeling well?"
It's rather hard for the dyspeptic to
make a stranger to the disease under
stand Just how much suffering dyspepsia
can cause. Words don't express it.
That terrible gnawing sensation in the
stomach is past description. Even after
you have recited the specific aches and
pains there are 10 terms to express the
cumulative and combined effects OF them
all upon both mind and body.
DON'T CULTIVATE DYSPEPSIA.
That would seem unnecessary advice,
yet it is fact that i'll the main, people
who finally become dyspeptics seem to
have studied how quickest to bring on
the disease. They eat irregularly. They
eat unwholesome or innutritiOuS foods.
They eat heartily when they are tired
with days work and the stomach needs
rest instead of exercise. In fact II they
made study of the quickest way to
dyspepsia or disease of the stomach in
general and its allied organs of diges-
ton and nutrition. they could not prac-
tice more successful methods.
When dyspepsia once has its grip on
the stomach the man who has expert
mented with tablets and powders and
other palliatives without permanent re-
lief finds himself asking the question,
YAM l ever going to be well again so
that l can eat with appetite and enjoy
ment?"
The one necessity to the recovery Of
health is the cure of the diseases of the
stomach and other organs of digestion
and nutrition. tablets of soda, mint,
etc, will for the moment alter the con-
dition in the stomach, but thay won't
alter the condition of the stomach itself.
These things are therefore merely pal
liatives. Not only do they not cure but
by affording temporary relief they lull
the victim into false security until he
probably finds himself some 4ay very
much worse for their use.
