one OF the amazing features OF The
present war In the East Is the enor.
nous number Of soldiers which the
Empire OF Japan has been enabled
to put into the field After every
battle, the japanese army, no matter
what may have been its casualties,
has heen reinforced until It has al.
ways been stronger than at any prc.
vious Time. Vice Consul Hunter
Sharp, of Kobe, Japan, sends to The
State Department some figures Of the
Japanese census which are OF inter.
est According TO this census, the
population Of Japan in 1898 was A..
aSS,OOO, while in 1908, the last ycc,
for which the official statistics are
available, The population was lG,7732..
Voo, being an average yearly increase
Tor these years of very nearly hair a
million. The population OF Formosa
is not included. II 1t were, .Tapan's
population would have been very
close of 5O,0O0,0Oo. The average nun.
her OF births during the decade was
in round numbers l.34O,0O0, while the
deaths were 100000, showing a yearly
increase OF very nearly 100000 ycnr.
This will explain why the War De.
partment of Japan is constantly able
to send fresh levies into the field, and
makes the statement that the Rus.
SLAMS have al no time had as mary
soldiers in the field as the Japan.
ese very likely to be true. 1t als,,
indicates that Russia will hardly be
able TO wear out the Japanese re,
sources by prolonging the war year
after year.

\ WASHINGTON Ds e., April 81.
Attention has been drawn lately ~
officers OF the War Department to the
enormous number Of high officers now
on the retired list Of the army. Con.
gress of recent years has been very
generous to army officers in the mat.
ter of Legislation for their retirement.
There are now on the retired list no
less than three leutenants general,
twenty majors general and $50 briga.
diers general. The navy is equall /.
t2pheayy. There are actually i23
rear adinirals and eighteen commo.
dores and fifty.four captains. 1t vii
be remembered that the title OF "coni.
modore' was abolished few years
ago. but those officers who were, re.
tired before the adjustment OF the IL.
lie still carry 1t. When It is remeri.
bered that the entire United States
army, from Porto Rico to the .PhilID.
pHies' GolisiSls Oh scarcely 10000
men, the idea Of $50 brigadiers gen.
eral on tho retired list seems amaz.
Ing. Two years ago Congress passed
a law by which many officers who had
seen service in the civil war and had
not been promoted on retirement
were given one grade additional, and
this act Is, OF course, responsible fol.
many OF the brigadiers general. Many
i3f lie present army OF brgadiurs gen.
cral saw no service in either the civil
war or the Spanish war, but were Der.
mitted 10 retire with the rank Of
brlsad!er in order that younger men
might be promoted. The majority Of
the generals are veterans Of the civil
war, and have preserved <the. comror.
table competence they received.
Whenever a retired officer OF either
the army or the navy Is assigned to
active duty he Is given the full pay
and allowance Of his rank.

Nervous exhaustion invites disease.
This statement is the positive truth.
When everything becomes a burden
and you cannot walk few blocks with
out excessive fatigue, and you break
out into perspiration easily, and your
face Pushes, and you grow excited and
shaky at the least provocation, and
you cannot bear to be crossed in any,
thing, you are in danger; your nerves
have given out; you need building up
at once! To build up woman's nerv-
Gus system and during the period of
change of life we know of no better
medicine than Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound, Here is an
illustration. Mrs. Mary L. Koehne, 371
Garfield Avenue, Chicago, ILL.,, writes:
"Ihaveused Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound for years in my family and it
never disappoints so when felt that was
nearing the change of life commenced treat
ment with it. l took in all about six bottles
and it did me a great deal of good. 1t
stopped my dizzy spells, pains in my back
and the headaches with which had suffered
for months before taking the Compound. I
feel that if it had not been for this great med
icine for women that I should not have been
alive to-day. 1t is splendid for women, old or
young, and will surely cure all female disor-
ders"
Mrs. Pinkham, of Lynn, Mass, in
vites all sick and ailing women to write
her for advice. Her great experience
is at their service, free of cost.

The officer, with a flushed face,
