THE ARMY WAR COLLEGE.
Corner Stone Laid With Grand Cere-
mony-Distinguis Men There,

Washington, Feb. 24.--In the pres
ence of an assemblage of distinguished
people, including the president of the
United States, members of the cabinet
and of congress, justices of the SUI
preme court, representatives, of foreign
powers and others eminent in the life
of the nation, the cornerstone of the
army war college was laid here with
impressive military and Masonic cere-
monies.
The occasion was rendered notable
and interesting by addresses delivered
by President Roosevelt, Secretary of
War Root and Major General S. B. M.
Young, president of the war college.
The site selected for the new building
is on the reservation of the Washing
ton barracks. Today's ceremonies
marked the beginning of a project
which has been fostered by the presi-
dent, Secretary Root and others in
terested in the advancement and thor
ough training of the United States ar
my While the foundation of the new
structure, which is to be practically
unique, has been only just begun, the
plans contemplated by the war depart
ment and by congress include the con-
struction of an entirely new set of
buildings on the arsenal grounds.
Among other structures there will be
a hospital, barracks, officers quarters
and an administration building, all to
be handsome and of the most APPROX
ed architectural design. The army
war college grounds have been select
ed as the site of the statue of Fred
erick the Great, which Emperor VIII
liam proposed to present to the people.
About 1000 troops, representing the
various branches of the war service,
took part in the exercises.

Cure for ST. Vitus' Dance.

DR.. Jacques Loeb of Chicago has dis
covered that muscular and nervous dis
eases, such as st. Vltus dance, paraly-
sis, locOmotor ataxia and sleeplessness
can be cured by administering calcium
salts-that is, such salts as are found
in well water and many foods.
The announcement of this discovery
in scientific research has just been
made. In one of the publications Just
issued by the University of Chicago
DR.. Loeb tells of his experiments on
lower forms of life and the conclusions
suggested in regard to human beings.
Simply stated, the conclusion is that
the presence of calcium salts is what
prevents muscular twitching; that
practically all nervous diseases are
caused by the absence of calcium, and
therefore to restore normal conditions
and effect a cure the treatment is to
dose with calcium salts.
