TEAC CHING ARTS OF WAR

First Military Instruction Camp Established at Mount

Uncle Sam has been making. his
first experiment in teaching the arts
of war to regulars and state militia to-
gether on the vast5} plains Of actual
campaigning at Camp Roosevelt at
Mt. Gretna, Pa. &< :! 49,. >..~
Maneuver campst5are nothing new,
either here or abroad: ], But Camp
Roosevelt is. more than: maneuver
camp. 1t is camp of instruction as
we'll. It, is a gathering: of federal
troops and national guardsmen from
various states on an equal footing to
be taught problems of war, not mere
ly to participate in spectacular bat
ties with blank cartridges. In this re.
spect it is departure from the meth
ods hitherto undertaken at military en-
campments in the United States and
in foreign countries as Well 1t is a
step far in advanceyof any that has
ever been taken. heretofore by the
armies of the world, ~.
The selection of a, camp site for the
department of the East was the all i'm
portant question that confronted the
war. department when congress au-
thorized this instruction camp: With
out much hesitation>i it was.decided to
try Mt. Gretna as an experiment, with
view of selecting q permanent camp.
Pennsylvania has for several years
held it's annual eneamp1nents here.

A FOOD CONVERT.
Good Food the True Road to Health.

The pernicious habit some persons
still have of relying on nauseous drugs
to relieve dyspepsia, keeps up the
patent medicine business and helps
keep up the army of dyspeptics.
Indigestion - dyspepsia is caused
by what is put into the stomach in
the way of improper food, the kind
that so taxes the strength of the di-
gestive organs they are actually Grip
pied.
When this state is reached, to resort
to stimulants is like whipping tired
horse with big load. Every addi-
tionaf effort he makes under the lash
increases his loss of power to move
the load.
I Try helping the stomach by leaving

Aunt Janef'S
Invitation
BY Mrs. B. N. Croker
Copyright, by Joseph B. Bowles.)

Mabel Eliot was pretty dark
eyed girl of two-and-twenty; she was
not tall, or endowed with a fine pres
ence-but she was nevertheless a
most efficient assistant in the cos
tune department of the great house
of "Rosalind & Company"
1t was the sale time, and she had
been afoot for ten hours, and now
that she had reached home she felt
SO tired, that she was ready to weep.
Mother and daughter lived alone.
They kept no servant; Mrs. Eliot un-
dertook the cooking and sweeping,
with interludes of lace-making-and
Mabel was at business all day long.
Yet although life was something of a
struggle, these two contrived to be
happy, to maintain little home, and
to pay their way.
AS her eyes fell on the mantelpiece,
Mabel asked:
who was your letter from, moth

"Oh, dear, dear me-" exclaimed
Mrs. Eliot, "I'd forgotten all about it.
I've been SO engrossed in my work.
1t is for you, dear. 1t came by the
midday post" And she got up, and
handed it across the table.
"Just listen to this. It's letter
from Aunt Jane MacCurdy.

Jane-the grocer's widow. 1t came
this morning. She is dying to see me,
and already I feel installed as her
heiress, and idol. Now, Mabel, I want
you to do up one or two things for
me, like an angel"

AS it was evident that Mabel had nc
time to spare for her cousins sewing
Violet presently departed, not merely
angry, but aggrieved.

girls travelled together. The cousins

An Ameer of Talent.

Habibu1la Khan, The ameer Of At.
ghanistan, has considerable architec.
tural skill, and is said to design his
own palaces. Stone and marble enter
largely into their construction, and
they contain many beautiful things
specially manufactured in Europe for
the Afghan court, including electric
lights, pianos and the phonograph.

Violet gazed out of the window, and
made no reply. -
Maybe the $servant-maid will assist
me?" urged this most persevering of
beggars, also shifting her seat, and
staring hard at, Mabel. ''1f you let me
have even ha1f-a-crown, dear, it.. would
be great matter for me, and, maybe,
come back to yourself" and she eyed
her expectantly.
Mabel slowly produced shabby
purse (it was an old friend), which she
emptied ;. into her lap. It contained
half-a-sovereign, a third-class return
ticket, three stamps, and half-a-crown.
Don't be fool,' expostulated Vio-
let, "she's an old impostor, and will
only spend it in gin!"
Mabel said nothing but reached,
across, and placed half-crown In a
greasy-looking, black-threaded palm.
"Then God bless you, dearie!" said
the old woman, 'you will never regret
this days charity. It's the poor that
will help the poor!" and as the train
was now steaming into Doune station,
she rose, seized her bundles, and de.
scended on the platform, with almost
ungrateful alacrity.

girlies were like when you were not
on your best visiting behavior. And
so just fixed myself up bit, and met
you with tale. I got out at Doune,
and back into the same train, and was
out of it and home before you-and
here am you see!"
She paused for a moment, and then
continued:
well, Violet Flint, gave you good
chances--real good chances-you will
allow, and Mabel is the girl for my
money. But we will say no more
about it-there's no one in the secret
but just our three selves. I want you
