Better Paw for soldiers.

General Funston makes an earnest
plea for the increase of the pay OF
the officers and prlvates of the regu-
lar army. He declares that the ofli-
GERS of lowest rank receive less pay
than many laborers, and even less
than some hod carriers, and that this
should not be the case. He asserts
also that If the pay of the privates
were increased it would be easier to
get and retain recruits for the army.

THERE are a host of petty ailments
i which are the direct result of the
weather.
This is more true of the excessive heat
of summer and the intense cold of win
ter, but is partly true OF all seasons of
the year.
Whether it be cold or n cough, catarrh
of the head or bowel complaint, whether
the liver be affected or the kidneys, the
cause is very liable to be the same.
The. weather slightly deranges the mu-
cous membranes of the organs and the re-
suit is some functional disease.

Washington, Aug. 22.-Is the high
standard of living adopted by the Am
erican workman a mistake?
Would he be happier with the con-
ditions that surround the English or
the German laborer?
The bureau of labor answers these
questions in the negative. its reply

tons into the cost of living in the
United States, Germany and England.

ernments.
The bureau lays emphasis upon the
food that the American eats. The

far greater variety, it is declared,

German.
Another joy that the American
laborer is able to experience by his
standard of living is that of keeping
his family together. Statistics show
that the family Of the American living
at home is larger than that of the Ger.
man or the Englishman. The Ameri-
can industrial family averages slight
ly more than five persons, with three
children to a family living at home.
A comparison of the cost of living
shows that the credit the English
have been given for generations, of be-
ing the greatest beef-eaters on the
globe. is unwarranted. The American
workingman and his family eat much
more than the English.
The reports indicate that the posi-.
ton of the English workingman is
more fortunate, in regard to wages
rental and food, than the German
but that in all these particulars the
honors go to the American.

These gentlemen will reach New

DRYDEN TROPHY
TO Be SHOT FOR
Matches to Take Place at Sea
Girt Are Of import
anCe.
TROPHIES ARE OFFERED.
RANGE HAS BEEN EXTENDED
AND EQUIPMENT IMPROVED so
MATCHES WILL HAVE MOST
FAVORABLE CONDITIONS.

Sea Girt Range, New Jersey, Aug.
22.-Of scarcely less importance to
the military world than the great ma.
tional matches now in progress at
Camp Perry, Ohio, are those which
will take place at Sea Girt, n. J.. from
September to IL. inclusive. The
beautiful Sea Girt range has always
been a Mecca for ambitious marks
men and this year a program has
been arranged which for richness and
attractiveness compares very favora-
bly, with any ever shot. During the
eighteen years of it's existence the
New Jersey State Rifle Association
has accumulated a number of cups and
trophies and its strong financial back
ing enables it to give the largest num-
Der of cash prizes offered by any
, State association. Its tournament will
be this year, as for many years past,
under the personal supervision of
General Bird w. Spencer, so long
president of the National Rifle Asso,
citation, who will be executive officer
of the meeting. In addition to the
New Jersey matches, those of the
New York State Rifle Association and
the United States Revolver Associa-
ton will be held at the same time.
The range at Sea Girt, always the
most commodious and best equipped,
has been extended and improved, re-
duced railroad rates have been Sc
cured. and a large attendance is guar
anteed.
The most important match will be
for the Dryden trophy, magnificent
piece of bronze, presented by ex-Sena-
tor Dryden, to be competed for by
teams of eight from the same branches
of the military service eligible to the
national trophy match. 1t is shot at
200, 600 and 1000 yards. The trophy
carries with it cash prizes of from 500
to $3.50. The interstate regimental
match for the Briggs trophy, presented
by Senator Briggs of New Jersey, will
be shot at the same distance by teams
of six. With this trophy goes a mod
al to each man on the winning team
with cash prizes to the second, third
and fourth teams. The company team
match for teams of five at 200 and
0OO NdrQS carries CASH pliLCo VAIN
medals for the first three teams. For
the non-winners there will be a COM
pany team match (tyro) for teams OF
three, the prize being the Peters tro-
ply. which goes to the winning team
with gold medals to the members OF
the second and third teams. in the
Columbia trophy match teams OF slS
will compete at 200, 500, GOO and SOC
yards for medals and cash prizes in
addition to the trophy. Teams OF five
will compete in the cavalry match
which is restricted to the cavalry, sig
nal corps and engineer corps OF the
army and national guard. Here again
the prizes are gold, silver and bronze
medals, accompanied by cash. An in
teresting event established last year
is the Gould rapid fire team match fol
which the trophy was presented II
memory of Arthur c. Gould, "a friend
of rifle practice" This is for teams
of six and the conditions are unique in
that they provide for a skirmisn run
and ten shots rapid fire at 300 yards.

The whole city will be handsomely
dressed for the occasion. Flags and
bunting will cover the buildings along
Summit, Huron. Erie and other lead
ing streets. The many handsome pub
lie buildings for which Toledo is not

at night they will be ablaze with hun
dreds of electric lights. At prominent
street intersections several handsome
arches are being erected.
