EVILS RESULTING FROM CONSTl-
PATTON.
How This Trouble May Be Readily
Corrected.

Corrected.
You are drowsy, heavy, loggy,, lack
energy-every eXertion is an effort
your head is not clear and it is hard
to think. you have full and oppressed
feeling in your stomach and bowels
all your limbs and body ache,-infact,
life seems hardly worth living under
such conditions. Ask yourself, DO
your bowels move regularly" If you
feel as above your answer will be"No"
that is the cause of your troubles. If
not properly corrected this condition
will lead to much more serious dis
orders of the blood and body due to the
pOisonS in the waste matter which
should be promptly carried off. And it
seems so foolish to suffer when nature
has provided her own wholesome and
certain remedy in the pure mineral
laxitive water-Hunyadi Janos-from
the famous springs in Hungary. u a
tumberful of this wonderful water
drunk on arising in the morning
(slightly warmed for best results) will
give you within an hour delightfully."-
pleasant and copious movement. This
will clear your head, sharpen your
appetite and make new man of you.
Try it and see. At all druggists.

Objection to Army Assignments

Los Angeles. CAL Aug. 28.-Lieuten-
ant General Adna R. Chanee. retired,
former commander in chief OF the
army of the United States, now a resi-
dent of this city devised the system of
divisions and assignment of command
and departm ent commanders which
General Greedy criticises in his report
to the war department.
General Chaffee heard of General
Greely's objections with surprise akin
to disgust
Fortunately there are few officers
with General Greely's propensity for
lingering into matters that would be
better left alone" said General Chaffee-
In the case of the San Francisco dis
trict the respective duties of Generals
Funston and Greedy were absolutely
clear and prescribed by regulation.
Certain matters General Funston
would have to report to General Gree
ly, but in the vital matter at the time
the disposal of troops-he was en-
tirely independent. AS General Greedy
was absent when the trouble occurred
General Funston was, Of course, in su-
preme command. And I know that he
was quite competent to carry that re-
sponsibility great as it was.
TT might as we'll be urged that the
duties of a colonel and a general conflict
in time of battle because both happen
to be in command of the same terri
tory. Under the present system
which. as I have said. is really con-
structed on a war footing, the duties OF
department commander and division
commander are distinct and automatic
In an emergency each commander
would, of course. communicate with
Washington. as might be done in time
of battle and as General Funston did
last April
ssI can not say whether the secretary
Of war will give ear to General Greedy s
criticisms. If had my way they
would be discarded absolutely"
