Somewhat Mixed.

Some very funny things happen in
making up applications for enlistment
in the army" remarked an army man
to the Washington Star rounder the
other day. AT recruiting stations it
is always necessary for the applicant
to state in his application the ma
tionality of his father, his residence
and his occupation, besides writing
answers to a score of other questions.
y young fellow bearing the Teutonic
name of Schmidt and showing plain
" that he had not been in this coun-
try very many years, filled out one
of these blanks. Quite naturally he
was not very we'll acquainted with the
custom anG meaning of our English
words. He disposed of the three lead
ing questions concerning his father
as follows: Nationality, German; res.
idence, deceased; occupation, fire.

o GETS SOUR.
Every Family Should Make Up This
Home Mixture and Take Now.

AT this time of year.. says a we'll
known authority, the Kidneys become
weak, clogged and inactive, falling to
filter out the poisons and acids, which
sour the blood, causing not only facial
and bodily eruptions, but the worst
forms of rheumatism, Nervous and
Stomach troubles, Backache and pain
full, annoying Urinary all ctions.
1t is worth anyone's time now to
get from some good prescription phar-
macy the following ingredients: Fluid
Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce;
Compound Kargon, one ounce; Com
pound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces. Mix by shaking we'll in a bot
tie and take in te%aspoonful doses after
your meals and at bedtime.
This simple homemade mixture will
force the Kidneys to normal, healthy
action, SO they will filter and strain all
uric acid and poisonous waste matter
from the blood, and eXpel this in the
urine, at the same time restoring the

lutely indispensable to perfect health.

WAR COLLEGE is A GEM.
One of the Finest Specimens of Archl-
lecture in the Capital.

"The Army Wal College building,
the Washington Barracks reservation
on the banks of the Potomac" re-
marked an army officer the other day,
although comparatively little known
TO the people of the country at large,
is from an architectural standpoint
one of the finest structures in the ma
tional capital. In fact, several dis
tinguished architects in attendance at
the recent convention in this city free
ly expressed the opinion that the
building was not only the best work
ever done by Architect McKim, but
was the finest specimen of architec-
ture in the United States, not &C.
cepting the Capitol building. This
effect was produced despite the fact
that the limited appropriations availa-
BILE compelled the use of the common
est building material, such as COM
mon red brick and sandstone. I know
that Major Sewel, the engineer Off
Ger who superintendent the construc-
ton of the building is exceedingly
proud of his work, and considers it a
better job all around than the new
government printing office, which also
was built by him. The War College is
practically finished save in a few min
or details, and could be occupied now
if it were necessary. 1t will be en-
tirely finished in every particular and
turned owe to the government in
about a month. 1t is now open for in.
spection, and is well worth a visit by
everybody interested in first-class
architecture"

Silk Coming to This Country.
this country makes an interesting
study, says the Mail and Express. The
annual product of the American mills
is worth about 500, 000, 900. Not only
has there beer a marked increase in re-
cent years in both the value and
amount of production, but the mills
have produced classes of goods never
before attempted. Silk is now used
for such a great number of purposes
that its manufacture and importing has
grown to be a leading industry. In an
interview a New Yorker who is an au-
thority on everything pertaining to the
manufacture and importing of silk said
recently: I'VE can make anything IN
the silk line that can be made in the
world and that there is a market for.
There are, however, certain high novel;
ties that We no not make. One Of the
noteworthy features of the trade dur
ing the last decade is the decline in
the price of raw silk and the great
improvement in nearly every depart
ment of machinery and appliances. The
silk imports at New York comprise
fully 50 per cent Of the total value Of
silk imports in this country. The large
mills are all represented in New York.

as in most others, is the center of distri-

ing a romantic novel of life in Vir-
