REORGANIZATION
OF ARMY NEEDED
Secretary Taft Has Plan
to Improve Service.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April IL
Radical reorganization of every branch
of the army is absolutely essential to
enable the military arm Of the gov
eminent properly to perform its
duties in time of peace, and to fit it
for rapid expansion and effective SER
vice in time of war
This is the judgment of William H.
Taft, Secretary of War, after a most
careful and exhaustive investigation
of the army. For some time past
there has been general impression
that something was wrong with the
service. There have been assertions
equal to several regiments annually.
There is dissatisfaction among Offic-
ers and enlisted men. 1t would seem
that these conditions would make for
inefticiency, and the people of the
country have become imbued with the
idea that the army is a broken reed
upon which to place reliance. AS a
matter of fact, it is the views of Secre-
tary Taft and of other competent and
disinterested observers that the army
has attained an extraordinary high
degree of efficiency and instruction.
The trouble in the army is found not
in itself, but in the lack of legislation
which is absolutely necessary for it
to discharge it's obligations to the
people
1t is to remedy this serious cause of
military weakness which has become
clear to him as a result of his init
mate cOntcat with the men in the
field, as we'll as with the officials Of
the War Department, that Secretary
Taft has outlined a plan of cOmpre-
hensiVe reorganization. This plan
cOntemplates an increase of in
fantry with an enlargement of it's
units; reorganization of the calvary,
so as to facilitate rapid expansion up
on the outbreak of war; proper or
ganizatiOn for the Philippine scouts
and the Porto Rican regiment; deyel-
opment and reorganization of the
machine-gun service, now in an eX-
perimental condition.; reorganization
of the staff corps along the lines upon
which the Ordinance Department is
now administered; increase of the
signal and engineer corps; separa-
ton of the seacoast artillery corps
from the rest of the army and such
slight reorganization and increase of
the field artillery; addition of a per-
manent Typographical section to the
general staff; organization of re-
serve of volunteers of $4,000 men; or
ganiZatiOn Of an enlisted service corps
for the supply department; additional
officers to provide details for military
or semi-military work of a special
character.

IT'S YOUR KIDEYS.
Don't Mistake the Cause Of Your
Troubles. Americas Citizen
Shows How to Cure Them.

Many people never suspect their
kidneys. If suffering from a lame,
back or aching back they think that
it is only muscular weakness; when
urinary trouble sets in they think
it will soon correct itself. And so it
is with all the other symptoms of
kidney disorders. This is just where
the danger lies. You must cure these
troubles or they lead to diabetes or
Bright's disease. The best remedy to
use is Doan's Kidney Pills. 1t cures
all ills which are caused by weak or
diseased kidneys. Americas people
testify to permanent cures.
A. A. Willis, a Well-knOWn farmer
living just outside of Americas, says
Il believe that your pills are all that
is claimed for them. / had kidney
trouble and backache, from which
had been a sufferer for many years
After lying or sitting in one position
for any length of time l could hardly
get up on account of the dull heavy
pain in the small of my back. AT
times seemed to almost lose the use
of my back, and would have to take
whole of something for support. The
kidney secretions were disordered, be-
ing dark and full of sediment, and OF
a strong odor. l used many different
remedies but without much if any
benefit until | got Doan's Kidney Pills
Since using them my back feels
strong. The pain has left it, and the
kidney secretionss have also been re-
stored to normal conditions. You
are welcome to use my name as a
reference"

Ii Your Fat Worries You Remember
MarmOla and You'll Forget Your
Fat.

The most generously good and in
tensely pleasing way to get rid of the
fatty flesh that you don't want-loose,
shaky, soft, extravagances-is to take
simple doctors prescription, which
although no one knows how to ex-
plain it, actually makes fat people
thin. AS long as you take the medi-
cine you keep on getting thin; when
you stop taking the medicine you stop
getting thin. For many years doc
tors have been trying to discover this
remarkable substance compound, Mar
omla, but it has only been within re-
cent times that it's true value was
learned Marmola is best taken with
two other ingredients. The full pres
cription is as follows: IL ounce Mar
mola, 1-2 ounce Fluid Extract Cas-
cara Aromatic, and IL ounces Sy-
rup Simplex Dose, one teaspoonful
after meals and before bedtime. There
is absolutely no danger in taking
MarmOla. On the contrary, it is apt
to strengthen the entire system and
purify the blood, because it helps the
stomach to assimilate better, and by
reason of its special action on the fat
cells it is recommended as a general
tonic as well. No person bothered
with fat need hesitate about trying a
bottle of the Marmola Prescription.
Results are sure to follow. Good
druggists fill the Marmola prescrip-
ton as written and never substitute.

large manufacturing establishment.
Letters from the leading citizens in
the town where Taylor now lives, at
testing his exemplary life and the
absence of alt viciousness in his
character, augmented by his failing
mothers wish to see him before she
died, moved District Attorney Cum
bingham to plead the dismissal of
the Indictment
The present home of Taylor and the
name under which he has since lived,
married, and prospered, are known
to but three men here and his secret
will be kept. Taylor's identity was
made known by him to the court after
the search for him had been abandon
ed Throwing himself upon the mer-
cy of the prosecutor, Taylor invited
an inquiry into his life for the past
quarter of a century. This proved so
satisfactory that former Judge Clear
water declared it would be gross in

OLD INDICTMENT
WAS DISMISSED
To Permit Exile to Visit
Dying Mother.

KINGSTON, N Y, April 11.-(Spe-
ciaD-In the Supreme Court today
Judge Howard dismissed the indict-
ment for manslaughter against John
Taylor, and in SO doing granted the
dying request of mother to see her
son. The last dramatic chapter of a
tragic romance which once stirred
Ulster County was also thus COM
pleted.
Twenty-six years ago the crime
which has made Taylor another Jean
Vatican was committed During a
political riot in the town of Esopus
in 1882, he struck a man named Nor
gan on the head with brick, and
Morgan died from the effects of the
blow. N
Later it was learned that rivalry
for the love of the same woman had
caused the fracas through which both
lost the object of their affections and
one of them his life.
