RECOMMEND CHANGES
IN ARMY UNIFORMS
Board Headed BY General
Young Advises Revision Of
Present Rec vi atlons.

Washington, Jan. 5.-The war de-
partment has made public the report
of the uniform board, headed by Gen.
eral Young, of which Colonel Patten Is
the recorder, setting out in detail the
changes made in the army uniform.
The first Recommendation is that
officers on duty in Washington should
be required to wear their uniforms
during Office hours. other recommen-
dations, all of which have been ap-
proved and are consequently now army
regulations. provide for the substitu-
tion Of bronze sleeve ornaments for
those of embroidery and metal for full
dress. Chaplains are to wear black
oyercoats. The embroidered gold oak
leaves on officers visors must come
off except on ranks above that OF ma.
jor. The United States coat-of- arms
in gold is to be added to all shoulder
knots of officers above captains. Ar
important change Is the abolition OF
the chapeau, the service helmet. and
service cap for officers, and the serv-
ice trousers for enlisted men. Proyis-
ion Is made for a combination sash and
belt for brIgadier generals. Hereafter
chevrons are TO be worn midway on
the sleeve between tho elbow and the
shoulder.
Other recommendations are that
belts and cartridge cases are to be
worn outside the overcoat; that q
marching shoe shall be provided for
the men. and that the bureau of in
sular affairs shall have a device.

PRICE or PORK IS
EXPECTED TO SOAR
Small Supply corpsred BY
Skiiifui Manipulation Of
John cudahy..May Reach
500 6srrsI.

Chicago, Jan. 5.--Moss pork is be-
lioved to have been caught in a cor
ner and the price is expected to 60
up. The traders on the board of trade
were excited over the situation Sat
urday. Those who were short on thia
commodity were scurrying to get tc
cover. The price looked for Is $40 4
barrel. John Cudahy is believed to
be the one who is long" According
to the best information It was said
he had about $4,000 barrels, and that
only 10000 more were available for
January delivery.
The supply Of pork is not large anil
this gives currency to the belief that
Mr.. Cudahy made successful manip-
ulation. The price of January pork
advanced only so cents barrel today
over the price of last Wednesday.
1t is believed to be a part Of the
plan to deal out little Of the COM
modify now and then to keep the mar
ket from advancing too rapidly until
II is toe late for a further delivery
for January. Then the longs will
be in command.

In some cases Catarrh will extend
from the Throat and into the Lungs
in a very few weeks; in other cases
1t may b. Eonths and ever years be-
fore the disease passes from the
Throat into the Lungs. When the dis
ease invades the chest there is al
most sure to be more or less fever
and this differs in severity at different
periods of the day; it may be slight
in the morning and higher in the af-
ternoon and evening.
FEVER AND NIGHT SWEATS.
Sometimes during the day the pa
tient has creepy, chilly sensation
which may last from half an hour to
an hour, after which the surface of the
body feels dry and hot. During the
night following these symptoms there
is liable to be profuse night sweat
ing, the pulse is usually more rapid
than it should be. and the one af-
tlicted loses flesh and strength. At
this period of the disease a further
extension is even induced by a fresh
cold. and the fresh cold at this time
is all that is needed to develop Rap
Id Consumption.
GRADUAL LOSS OF STRENGTH
In some cases the patient loses
strength and flesh slowly, the muscles
gradually wasting away. Then there
will come periods when the patient
apparently mends: he will gradually
regain some of his lost strength. only
to lose it again after fresh cold has
been taken. The fresh cold causes
the disease to extend further and GO
deeper into the Lung Tubes, until 1,
finally enters the structure OF the
Lungs themselves.
WEAK STOMACH.
A weak stomach and a dislike fol
food, which seems to have lost all is
agreeable taste, often causes the suf,
| ferer to imagine that he only has {
disease of the stomach.
HOARSENESS.
When Bronchial Catarrh is extend
ing into the lungs the voice often be-
comes weak and husky or hoarse
There is often a burning pain fell
in the throat and some difIicultly ex
perienced in swallowing on accoun
of the soreness in the throat.
When Catarrh has existed in the hea(
and upper parts of the throat for an.
length of time, and the disease ha!
been left uncured. the Catarrh almos
invariably extends from the Throa
