'Having used Peruna for catarrhal

MAJ. Boudet's charges perform a manual OF
arms, which, if anything is more complicated than
that which the soldier is compelled to learn. One
of the prettest sights imaginable is the series of
eVolutions which these policemen carry out
There are some tax-paying Chicagoans who scoff
at pretty evolutions but they, Maj Boudet claims,
are not of the farseeing class. He points out
that the drilling of policemen In this manner
teaches them to handle themselves with grace and
ease and makes them ADLER in the duties they per-
form.
Only recently the beauty squad about 100 strong
gave militiamen of the First Illinois infantry sta
toned at Chicago, drill exhibition in the big
First Regiment armory. So perfect were the evo-
lutions that even the soldiers were awed. The po-
licemen formed revolving wedges, hollow squares
fve-ponted stars circles and other ingenious for
nations, the perfection of which had taken them
months to accomplish
The squad is formed the order of military
company There is Maj. Boudet at the head, a
first and second lieutenant and the regulation
number of sergeants and corporals.
Gaining a place the Chicago police force to-
day is perhaps as difficult feat the average
man of middle age would care to attempt and for
that reason the department is composed of the
best physiques that the city can furnish The same
is true of the fire department, the efficiency OF
which is evidenced by the fact that during the
past fiscal year every conflagration in Chicago
put under control before the fire could spread
to adjacent buildings.

lcemen undergo follows:

once and you'll feel that passing the physical test
is far from easy"
Mr.. Westlake is a newspaper man on the staff
Of the Chicago Evening Post and his 20 years in
the newspaper business, part of which was spent
in knocking about in police districts a reporter,
taught him much regarding the needs of the de-
partment. Before he entered a newspaper office,
he served a railroad fireman. The constitu-
ton which that rigorous vocation gave him.
along with an enviable muscular development, has
stood him in good stead in demonstrating the use

badly injured and she and heI
daughter proceed Ito Ludwigslust in
The afternoon but later returned to
Berlin to make arrangements for the
burial.
Consul General Thackara then sent
a deputy to Ludwigslust to take
charge of the body. There seems to
be no question that Consul Mcfarland
comm=tted suicide, but General Thac
kara has started an investigation.

His father was Col. Samuel Clark Nc

IN Iowa. In 1893 he was appointed
consul at Nottingham, England. From
the consulatN at Nottingham he went
to Reichenberg, Germany, and thence
to Switzerland, at ST. Gall. From this
pest he was appointed consul general
at large for Europe, excepting Europ
can Russia, the Balkan states and
Greece. This appointment he Sc.
cured June 10 of this year, and it car
ried with it great responsibility and
power, salary of 5000 a year, and

is one of the worst setbacks which the tests meet
When man becomes 'fustered' knowing that
good job depends upon his every movement. it
is quite natural that the best he knows will not
