shington.--Presiden Roosevelt,
IN his final annual message to con
gress, probably will recommend an
increase in the numerical stength OF
the army to at least 100000 men. At
present the army is on a footing of
10000 men, the number provided for
in time OF peace.
To the general STAFF IL has become
evident in the last two years that
10000 men are too few properly to
garrison the posts at which it Is nee
essary to maintain an army force.
The posts include the garrisons
In tho insular possessions of America
The law provides that the army may
be increased to 100000 men In time
of need. This provision, in the opin
ion Of military experts, is likely to
prove a serious handicap to the army

Il larger force.

tween America and Japan, and some

Peonies as a Medicine.

Peonies were originally esteemed
less for beauty of bloom than for value
as a medicine. In recognition of its
curative virtues, the peony was named
after .Paeon, the physician of the
gods. An old writer says: About an
infants neck hang peonie. 1t cures
Alcydes cruell maladie." Nor did the
use OF the plant stop there, for peony
water was esteemed and drank in by.
gone times, though whether as medi.
cine or merely as refreshing TEN.
