CHANGE ARMY UNIFORMS.

The current report that the army
uniform is again to be changed is
probably based on the fact that the
quartermaster's department has been
discussing a change in the color.
Many objections are urged to the pres
ent color, one that the process of
dyeing is a secret controlled by one
firm. hence is costly and another
that it is not a lasting color, but fades
easily.
The quartermaster's department
recommends that the khaki color be
abandoned for the cotton service uni
form, and an olive green be substi-
tute!. The cotton uniform would be
given the olive drab color adopted Tor
the woolen uniforms. but 1t Is abso-
lutelv impossible to get fast olive
drab dye for cotton.
The khaki color is about as ugly
thing as ever invented, and it is
time it was being superseded and
then, it is not the policy of this gov
ernment to build up monopoly, 50,
let the khaki color go, and let all
dyers have a chance.

Physicians and scientists agree that

DO not try to cure catarrh of the
