 Washington, March 22.--Inspection at the war department Of the bill abol- ishing the grade of lieutenant general of the army after October l12, next which has passed the House makes 1t appear to the officials that as it stands the bill. though intended to wipe out this rank, only after that date, would really relegate to the grade of major general on the retired list or perhaps drop out of the army Generals Miles, Young, Chaffee, Bates, Corbin and Mac Arthur. This would follow from the failure of the House to limit the pro- posed abolition to officers on the ac- five list

Dropsy.-Take one ounce of burnt

ounce of cream of tartar, beat fine

Begin with one capsule and Increase
one each morning until the ninth day,
then rest nine days and begin with one

rest nine again; repeat the third nine
days and the patient should be well.
Live on crackers and mOlasses and

and do not drink coffee.
Eczema.-Ichthyol is probably more
useful than anything else in lessening
the Irritation from eczema. 1t is
preparation obtained from certain va
rieties Of fossilistic shale occurring in
the Tyrolese Alps. 1t has character

be understood, however, that any out

is a great wonder more people are not
afflicted with eczema, for we are GER

Epilepsy.-The latest treatment for
this direful complaint Is the fluid ex-
tract of horsenettle. botanically the
solanum carolinense. For an adult give
a half teaspoonful In water every three
hours and increase the dose up to four
teaspoonfuls. When the patient shows
improvement reduce the dose to two
day, night and morning. Children can
be given from ten to twenty drops.
Physicians using this drug should begin
with the small dose and give it in mild
cases until the patient has feeling of
drowsiness after each dose. In chron-
ic cases that are considered bad the
physician should push the drug until 1t !
produces symptoms of vertigo after
each dose and then stop and hold the
case at this point, then begin to grad
ually reduce the dose until only d few
drops are given.

'ohN W. FosIEH which was fought
Chinese territory. 1t is expected that
the tribunal, representing all the civ
ilized nations of the world, will adopt
some kind of code to govern similar
situations in the future, to define the
rights and limit the authority of bellig-
erents who occupy neutral ground. 1t
will doubtless determine also to what
extent such belligerents can use neu-
trails within their lines, and to what
extent neutrals can assist the belliger-
ents. A new definition Of neutrality Is
very much needed, and there Is an i'm
perative necessity for an international
law protecting the non-contraband prop
erty Of neutrals during war.
Mr.. Foster has been counsel of the
Chinese legation in Washington for
twenty years, except during several in
tervals when he was Secretary of State
under the Harrison administration or
has been engaged in diplomatic nego-
tiations In behalf of his own govern
ment. He was the adviser of the Chi
nese commissioners In their negotia-
tions for peace after the war with
Japan In 1895, and his services were so
satisfactory to both sides that he was
afterward entertained and honored at
Toxic by the japanese quite as much as
by the Chinese at Pekin. Shortly after,
and several times since, the Chinese
Government has invited him to go to
Pekin as its official adviser and has Of
fered him most tempting salary as his
remuneration. 1t Is the conviction of
the diplomatic colony in China that If
Mr.. Foster had accepted the invitation
Of the Emperor in 1896 the Boxer trou-
bles would have been prevented and the
war between Russia and Japan would
never have occurred. That war was the
direct result of the Intervention of Rus
sia in the affairs and relations of China
and Japan. This would never have hap
pened, nor would the Boxer outbreak
have occurred, If there had been a
strong and wise man at the head Of the
foreign department at Pekin.

"A Small Thlng."

Do you believe in progress Dc
you believe that all the wonderful
achievements Of the nineteenth ten
tury-the railroad, the telegraph, the
telephone, electric light, kerosene.
sewing machine, agricultural machin-
cry, steamships, trolley cars, etc
have made life easier and better
worth living2 l do. l believe that a
man who lives forty years under
modern conditions has experienced
more life and better life than Methu-
salem, though he had lived twenty
centuries of his time.
The triumphs of the nineteenth
century were triumphs of human SER
vice-the placing of knowledge and
the fruits of knowledge within the
reach of the common man. Every
mans life is better, happier, more Sc
cure because Of them. We live more
comfortable, more sociable lives in
better and more comfortable houses
because OF them. Even the hopeless
dweller in the worst city slums 10
more comfortable in his physical con-
ditions than the middle-class citizen
of the days of George Washington.
In little things as in great, comfort
and convenience have been the leg
aoy of the Century OF Improve
ment." Paint, in a certain sense, ia
a minor matter, yet 1t gives beauty,
healthfulness and durability to our
dwellings. Fifty years ago painting
was a serious proposition, a luxury
for the owners of stately mansions
who could afford the expense OF fire.
Quent renewals. To-day ready mixed
paint is so cheap, so good and so uni
versal that no house owner has an
excuse for not keeping his property
we'll painted. several
mildred large factories employing
thousands of chemists and skilled
workmen, are running every day in
the year to keep our houses fresh,
clean and wholesome.
A small thing, yet a can OF good
ready mixed paint, such as one may
buy from any reputable dealer, en-
bodies the study of generations Of
skilled chemists, the toll of a thou
sand workmen in mill, laboratory and
factory, and the product of long
series of special machinery invented
and designed just to make that can
of paint and to furnish us an infinite
variety of tints, colors and shades.
1t was a wonderful century, shat
nineteenth of our era, and not the
least of its wonderful gifts was that
same commonplace can of paint.
