OFFICERS MUST
RIDE 90 MILES
Younger Men See Chance
for Promotion.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. IL
(SpeciaD-The younger army officers
are pleased with President Roose-
velt's determination to make next
years practice ride" for officers
over the rank of Captain a ninety
mile instead of a fifteen-mile test,
as was the case this year For there
is no doubt that if it is thus carried
out great many officers not in the
cavalry will be sent before the Re-
firing Board to have their physical
fitness passed upon.
President Roosevelt intends to
stand pat on his recent horsemanship
order, which provided that all field
officers should undergo an annual
test ride of thirty miles a day for
three consecutive days. 1t was said
at the WarDepartment yesterday that
the order would probably be extended
to apply to brigadier generals. Re-
Gently Informal protests were made
to the President, urging him to ex-
empt from the Craftsmanship tests
engineer officers and others whose
duties do not require skill and endur-
ance in horsemanship riding, but the
President is said to have adhered to
his decision. In reply to man, who
called on him in this connection sew
eral days ago, the President is said
to have replied substantially as fol-
lows:
1T is we'll known to staff officers
as it is to me that no man can per-
form the highest grade of brain work
of which he is normally capable un-
less he be in first class physical con-
dition. The government is entitled
to the best service an officers natural
ability enables him to do 1t is,
therefore, the duty of every officer
to keep himself at all times in the
best possible physical condition. The
physical test required in my recent
instructions to the Secretary of War
has been purposely so specified that
no officer will be able to stand it
who has not kept himself in proper
physical condition. 1t is neither sew
ere nor excessive; but an officer who
permits himself to become physical
ly weak or debilitated by Incidence
or lack of exercise will not be able
to take it successfully"

Badly Mixed Up.

Abraham Brown, of Winterton, N.
Y, had a very remarkable experience.
He says: Doctors got badly mixed
up over me; one said heart disease;
two called it kidney trouble; the
fourth blood poison, and the fifth
stomach and liver trouble; but none
of them helped me- so my wife adj
vised trying Electric Bitters, which
are restoring me to perfect health.
One bottle did me more good than all
the five doctors prescribed" Guaran-
teed to cure blood poison, weakness
