MAKING A BALLOON.
The Way It is Patched, Vanished and
Powdered.

Powdered.
A balloon consists Of patches Of cloth
about yard square sewed secure
" together. This is not because Of
any difficulty in making the fabric Of
a globular shape. for that could easily
be done If the pieces were shaped like
the skin on the section Of an apple.
The reason is that no absolutely re-
liable fabric has yet been invented.
and there is always the possibility OF
the balloon bursting. Should this hap
pen to one of these patches. the escape
of gas win not be dangerously rapid,
as 1t would be If larger sections were
used.
When the balloon is made 1t Is care
fully vanished, three coats being CIV.
en-, and each being allowed to dry
thoroughly before the next Is applied.
IL one coat is left moist the fabric
will be- attacked by species Of dry
rot. which viii make It as fragile as
the paper this is printed on. In the
early days Of balIoonlng many fatal
accidents we're due 70 this defect, but
now the utmost care is exercised.
When balloon Is packed up for
journey, powdered chalk is sprinkIed
between the folds, as otherwise they
would stick together and tear.-Pear>

Secretary Taft Issues War
Department Report
TOO FEW ENLISTED MEN
Army Is Unattractive to Desirable Men
Because of Inadequate Pay--Secre-
tary Urges That More officers
Be Appointed.


Washington, Jan. l.. The serious and
immediate need Of more officers and
men in the army, and the reasons for
the increase in the number Of desertions
and the decrease in enlistments are the
subject Of an earnest discussion by Secre.
tary Of War Taft in his annual report
submitted to the president yesterday
The report states that the United
States army in October last comprised
$500 officers and men, d decrease Of
4,42s within year Less than $4,000
Of them are in Hawaii and the Philip
pines, the points supposed to be the
most threatened in the eevnt OF war
between the United States and Japan.
AT present there is about one officer to
every thirteen enlisted men
Secretary Taft says il has been i'm.
possible TO get enough men to enlist in
the ranks to put the army at its maxi
mum authorized strength. He thinks
that the principal reason Is iuadequacy
Of pay Moral mental and physical re-
quirements are high, ais Is shown by the
fact that last year recruiting officers
rejected 81, 40 out Of 1882 applicants
for enlistment. He says, When the
supply of mere laborefs is not equal
to the demand for them, although the
wages range from Sl.25 to $3.50 or more
q day, il Il not strange that men do
not care to enlist in the army at SlS a
month"
He urges rewards for proficiency, a
greater increase III pay for long service
and the making Of the duties Of an en-
listed man those 81 soldier rather than
those Of a laborer.
Secretary Taft says that the medical
department Of the United States army
is below par The efficiency Of this
branch Of the Japanese army service
during the war with Russia attracted
the attention Of the whole world. Sec
retarv Taft calls for steps to make this
branch of the United States army equal
to its responsibilities in case Of war.
Another recommendation is the organ
ization Of a general service corps, to in
clude wagon masters engineers, firemen,
teamsters, blacksmith, lahorers, etc
The report shows that in the past
year twenty one enlisted men were
killed IN action aud five died as the re-
suit OF wounds.
The secretary says that IN the Philip
pines quiet and good order have pre-,
vailed, except IN the islands Of Samar
and Leyte, where some difficulty was
had with the Pnluianes. He speaks in
high praise Of the conduct Of the army
Of Cuban pacideation.
The secretary recommends the con.
struction Of new military post. Bagnio,
in Bengnet province. p Il. and the EN-
largement 81 Fort Mckinley, near Ma
Mia
He approves also the estimates for the
construction Of batteries made by thel
national cost defense board. of S6g000,000
for Manila and Subig bay sl,000.000 for
Honolulu and Pearl Harbor, and $1,000,
600 for Guantanamo bay, Cuba.

MAY EULLTFY OHIO CALL.
State Legislature May Pass the Huffman
Primary Bill.

Columbus, O., Jan Members OF the
Ohio House are quietly urged to pass
the Huffman primary election bill, which
two years ago passed the Senate, but
was held up in the House. The Huffman
bill provides for the nomination 81 coun-
ty officers and the election 81 county
committeeman at primaries conducted by
the board OF elections, but makes no
provision for the nomination Of dele
gates to any convention. II the Huffman
bill should be passed and take effect
before Feb. II, it would nullify, it is
said, the call issued BY the Republican
state central committee for a state pri-
mary, at which the Republicans Of Ohio
are expected to express their preference
for candidate for the presidential nom
nation By repeating the Bronson pri-
mary law. under which the call for a
state primary was issued The nullify
ing Of the state committees call would
result in delaying both the state pri-
mary and the state convention. as a
new call would have to be issued, il il
said.

Is Pe|ru-na Useful
for Catarrh?

Should a list of the ingredients OF Pc
runs be submitted to any medical ex-
pert, Of whatever school or nationality,
he would be obliged to admit without
reserve that the medicinal herbs COM
posing Peruna are of two kinds. First,
standard and well-tried catarrh reme-
dies. Second, well-known and gener-
ally acknowledged tonis remedies.
That in one or the other Of these uses
they have stood the test Of many years
experience by physicians of different
schools. There can be no dispute about
this, whatever. Peruna is composed OF
some of the most efficacious and uni
versally used herbal remedies for ca
tarrhal diseases, and for such conditions
of the human system as require tonic.
Each one of the principal ingredients
OF Peruna has a reputation of its own
In the cure of some phase Of catarrh or
as a tonic medicine.
The fact is, chronic catarrh is a dis.
ease which is very prevalent. Many
thousand people know they have
chronic catarrh. They have visited doc
tors over and over again, and been told
that their case is one of chronic catarrh.
1t may be Of the nose, throat, lungs,
stomach or some other internal organ.
There Is no doubt as TO the nature Of
the disease. The only trouble is the
remedy. This doctor has tried TO cure
them. That doctor has tried TO pre-.
scribe for them.
No other household remedy so uni.
versally advertised carries upon the
label the principal active constituents,
showing that Peruna invites the full
inspection of the critics.
