TO Use COLD STEEL
Necessity of The Bayonet as
a Weapon Acknowledged.
eD
VIEW OF COMMISSION
REPRESENTATIONS INDoRsED BY
THE GENERAL STAFF.
~
Gen. Chaffee's Proposition to Employ
the Knife Bayonet, Sixteen Inches
i Long, Adopted.

AS result of night fighting in the war
in the far east the authorities of the
United States army have reconsidered their
original purpose of dispensing with the bay
onet as a weapon of offense and defense
and have now decided that such implements
are necessary equipments Of the United
Stat troops.
Secretary Taft today approved a recon-
mendation to that effect made by General
Chaffee, chief of staff, which recommended
ton was based the report of an army
commission, which madeira special inquiry
into the subject of the army bayonet in
all it's phases as weapon and an ar
ticle of equipment of the soldier This in
uuiry was made at the suggestion of Pres
ident Roosevelt as a result of the ex-
periences of the armies in Manchuria.
The Present Bayonet.
In his memorandum to the Secretary of
War General Chaffee summarized the sit
uation in the following worGs
1.-The commission does not find that the
rod bayonet with which our new rifle Is
furnished as fully answering the purpose
of the bayonet. In fact: when adopted 1t
was known not to be an efficient weapon
for hand-to-hand fighting. the general be-
lief being that in modern warfare there
was likely to be so little of hand-to-hand
conflict as to justify the practical elimina-
ton of the bayonet as an instrument Of
cffense or defense.
s'The reports, officially and unofficially, OF
recent hand to-hand conflicts in the war
in the east have revived consideration OF
this question and the possibility, and in
fact probability, that in future wars night
operations particularly may be forced on
all armies thus increasing the liability to
personal contact, and; hence, too, the ap-
parent necessity of a useful bayonet
81 am of opinion also that we Should no
bayonet and entrenching tool. but that we
should decide. finally that the troops be
furnished with both implements. each eff
Gent for it's own purpose and separate and
distinct. This the committee recommends.
To Lengthen the Bayonet.
1.-THE bayonet recommended is OF the style
at present issued to the army for use with
the Krag rifle, differing only in that its
length is increased BY six inches. On ex-
animation it is found to bgia serviceable
bayonet, efficient in every way needful for
such a weapon."- Fbflas.To
Gen. Chaffee says Shat the matter re-
ceived the careful consideration of the gen
Of Il the esp special V commission. He therefore
recommended that the knife; 1bayonet. six
teen inches long. be adopted for issue with
the new rifle, and that the chief of ordnance
be instructed to proceed at once with their
cable the new rifle may be issued to the
army supplied with the knifefbayonet The
bayonet should not be issued to the cav
airy" 20 49,
The Secretary of War issued orders today
in accordance with these recommended tons.

CURES WITHOUT STOMACH DOSING
Hyomei Cures Catarrh by Simple
Breathing. B. L. Middleton
Refunds Money if it Fails

A long stride toward solving the
mystery of curing catarrh was taken
with the discovery of Hyomei. In fact,
the percentage OF cures by this treat
ment proves it equal to the final tests.
The folly of taking medicine into the
stomach to cure catarrh of the nose.
throat and lungs, has been realized by
physicians, but not until Hyomei was
Known, had they practical method
that would obviate stomach drugglng.
A complete Hyomei outfit costs but

Ter that can be used anywhere without
attracting attention, a medicine drop
per and a bottle of Hyomei. Extra
bottles of Hyomei cost but soc.
Breathing Hyomei through the inha-
Ter, every particle of air that enters the
nose. throat and lungs, is charged with
a healing balsam that soothes and al
lays all irritation, kills the catarrhal
germs and enriches the blood with ad.
ditional ozone.
B. L. Middleton has SO much faith in
the power of Hyomei TO cure catarrh
that he is selling it under his personal

ONE hundred and seventy-two
years ago today, in West Moleland
county. Virginia, in modest farm
house, George Washington, the child
destined to become the Father OF his
Country first saw the light of day.
His early youth was passed however,
on a plantation on the Rappahanock.
Notwithstanding his meagre educa-
ton he was born for high position.
He was a natural athlete, and it is a
known fact that ne could run faster,
walk farther. jump higher than any
of his companions. In addition to
reading, writing and arithmetic he
took a special course in surveying.
As young man, soldier, a states
man and president he was above
criticism. Through almost two CEN
turtles his memory has been kept dear
by Americans. The story of his life
from start to finish is known to every
child, and how they delight in the
story of the cherry tree and the
Ratchet. Today all over the United
States the anniversary of his birth is
being observed, and in every home
where there is drop of patriotic
blood, the name of Washington is
held in almost sacred reverence.

EXPRESSIVE NAME FOR INDIGESTION
B, L. Middleton Has Simple Remedy
That is Guaranteed to Cure
the Trouble

No one word better expresses the
Condition of the sufferer from weak
stomach or Indigestion than misery -
The stomach is weak and cannot di.
gest the food, so that there is no appe-
lite, there are pains in the bowels, the
head and back ache. and the misery
goes to every organ.
Strengthen the stomach and the di-
gestIye system by the use of Mona
This is the only stomach remedy known
that gives relief by strengthening the
stomach and digestive organs. 1t is
this principle that makes it "a certain
cure for Indigestion. Other medicines
may give temporary relief by helping
digest the food, but they do not
strengthen the stomach, and that or
gan gets weaker and weaker all the
time.
B. /. Middleton, the reliable drug
gist, has so much confidence in this re-
markable remedy that he guarantees a
cure, or the money will be refunded
Mona costs but 80 cents a box. Ask
to see the strong guarantee given with
every box.
Mona is in tablet form aud should
be taken before each meal. Other
remedies for stomach troubles and in
digestion are taken after the meal, and
decompose the good food you eat, but
Mi-o-na used before eating strengthens
the stomach, so ,thes and heals all irri-
tation and inflammation, enriches the
blood and puts the stomach in such a
healthy condition that it will take care
of the food itself and there will be no
pain and suffering,
