ADVANCE OF OFFICERS
NOMINATIONS SENT TO SENATE
 BY ROOSEVELT.
Brigadiers J. c. Breckinridge, M. l. Ludington and James F. Wade to Become Major Generals.
 Action a Surprise.

Washington, Feb. 1S.-The nominations of Brigadier Generals J. C. Breckenridge Inspector General; M. l. Ludington, Ouartermaster General. and James F. Wade to become Major Generals. sent to the Senate today came up genuine sur nrise to army officers. except those di- ractlv concerned. The original program of the department announced several weeks Q oo contemplated the single promotion of uTj,aaier Gaueral James F. Wade to the grade of Major General on the statutory retirement of Major General Robert F. Hughes. commanding the Department Of California. on the 11th of April next.
 The promotion of Inspector General Rreckenridge and Quartermaster General Tudington to the grade of Major General on the retirement of General Hughes and their retirement on the same date in or der to make way for General Wade was an afterthought. There is an impression in we'll informed military circles that the enactment of the general stan law and General Breckenridge's connection With that legislation were potent factors In bringing about the change Of plan. Gen eraI Breckenridge would not have retireo under ordinarw conditions until January, l9O6, General buClNBlOtls HONSNSi' 4S NhA NS years older than the Inspector General and would have retired for age July 4 next. It was generally supposed that both these stan officers would retire in their nresent grade of Brigadier General fin rec osnition of their long and honorable ser vice. However, the Secretary of War, with the approval of the President con- cluded to advance them both to the grade of Major General on the condition that they retire at once.
 This was acceptable to both General preckenridge and General Ludington. In advocating the creation of the general staff. Secretary Root insisted on the aool- ishment of the Inspector Generals De- partment of the army as no longer neces- sarv since its duties would be performed by the general staff. This particular req ture of the pill drawn by the War De
 partment was resisted vigorously by cen

 not disturbed by the bill as it became law. It therefore appears that while cen

Senator Morgan Continues His Speech
 in Opposition.

Washington, Feb. 1S.-The Senate spent three and half hours in executive ses- sion today listening nearly all the time to continuation of Senator Morgan's speech on the Panama canal treaty.
 At the close of the days session vote was taken at Senator Morgan's request on his resolution requesting an inquiry, into the credentials of Thomas Herran. who represented the Colombian govern ment in negotiating the treaty and also suggesting the irregularity of the Colombian Government. The resolution was defeated 13 to 39. TherA were two calls for quorum during the session but Senators responded readily, showing that while they were not present in the Senate chamber many of them were in the nearby committee rooms.
 Senator Morgan spoke principally on this resolution and had the clerk read a long report on 1t which he had pre- rared and had printed as minority re- port of the Committee on Inter-oceanic Canal
 After the vote was taken on the resolu- ton Senator Cullom moved that the Senate adjourn to meet at Il o'clock to- morrow. saying that he would ask that the sessions be continued into the night until a vote was taken on the treaty.

1HE RusY MINIS DANGER

Dr Iorenz. the famous Austrian sur peon who lately visited this country, ex- 1resses himself as not surprised at the alarming prevalence of stomach troubles in the United States after seeing the way our business men rush to lunch counter or restaurant for the noon meal. snatch a sandwich and a piece If heavy, indiges- tible pie, gulp them down with cup of coffee and rush back to their work. The stomach can't stand such abuse long. Pies, pastries and rich food of all kinds are hard enough to digest when the stom- ach is in the best condition and given the aid of proper mastication and plenty of time to do it's work. But such hurried eating as most business men make habit o,,iol,i,, nuts the digestive organs Ito the bad

Lemons for the Toilet.

On every washstand a lemon or two should be kept. Nothing is better TOT the toilet than the juice of this fruit. It Is refreshing to the taste and It IS cleansing to the kin. A few drops squeezed into the water with which the teeth are cleansed not only will aid Tn keeping the tartar away from them, but 1t will also make the breath sweet.
 Lemon juice rubbed on the face aids In keeping the skin soft and fresh. If persistently used 1t will remove freckles, and when applied to the hands it will whiten them. An excellent thing for the nails is to cut lemon in half and dig the fingers vigorously into the pulp. This Is far better way of removing stains than by too hard scrubbing with brush, which injures the nails.

SOCIAL CLIQUES
 IN WASHINGTON


 In an article on the social "cliques" in Washington, a writer from that city says:
 Probably the most enjoyable of the sets now in existence is Mrs. Roosevelts private musical coterie, in which are found many of her friends. irrespective of rank or condition--an innovation which may surely be granted the first lady Of the land for she may not show partial ity or special friendliness to any one when fulfilling her official duties. As the wife of tho President. she never infringes up- on the unwritten laws of precedence, but as Mrs. Roosevelt she opens her pariors occasionally to those who appeal to her personally. These affairs are of the simp- lest sort and Mrs. Roosevelt Is usually assisted by Miss Hagner and Miss Alice Roosevelt.
 'second comes the clique composed of private citizens, who make up small proportion of Washington's smart set These people are eof large means, enter tain lavishly, and. having no axes to grind, choose their friends from any or the antagonistic official circles.
 '"The most exclusive set-and the small est in noint of numbers-=is composed of the old washingtonians. who regard with aversion the official element. Their so- ciai functions consist of quiet teas and dinners. given without ostentation or dis play.
 "The nearest approach to aristocracy in Washington may be found among the army and navy people. Generation after generation, drawing prestige from deeds of valor in many wars, have gone to An napolis or West Point No more polished men are to be found in America, and they hold their own in matters of ed- ouette and ceremonials with the foreign representatives. Social opportunities abroad and the indefinable polish which is gained only through travel are theirs. The men marry women of wealth and family. and while among themselves they adopt a less stringent code, at official functions they are sticklers for the pres tige and precedence due this rank"
