THE RESERVE ARMY.
Philadelphia Record.

Philadelphia Record.
 The citizen soldiery Is a very dif- ferent thing from what 1t was twenty five years ago. Then belonging to militia company was little more than belonging to a club. The principal function was to appear occasionally in a uniform that would scare horses and to parade the town behind a brass band to the infinite delight of all small boys. The annual encampment was a vacation picnic. There was drill in the manual of arms. all Of which can be learned in a couple of days. There was marching and counter srarching by companies, and occasion ally stRere were battalion evolutions. it was a lark and 1t wasn's much else.
 It is a good deal more than a lark now. The fancy uniforms have not entirely disappeared, but they don't so to the encampments. Not a single regiment. but a bragade or a division is assembled in camp. There are regu- lar aroops. The militia pitch their tents. In many cases they reach camps by marches of considerable length and no militia exercise is more import ant than the ability to march They dig trenches and throw up breastworks They do picket duty and night march over them They scout they go ing They ford rivers or build bridges 4rouEh all the motions of attacking the

Sour Stomach
 Only a Symptom
Sour stomach. water Brash. and otner
 stomach TroubIes.

Sour stomach Is simply an indica- ton of a condition. If not attended to promptly and efficiently 1t will run into dyspepsia. or chronic indigestion. It affects the bowels, causes sick head ache. liver trouble. kidney trouble and general Illness.
 The taking of digestive tonics and medicines will perhaps sweeten the stomach and aid 1t in digestion for a short time. but the effect will not last unless you get at the root of the trou- ble. which Is the proper supply of di- gestive juices to the stomach and di- gestive tract. The stomach must be aided. but at the same time strength ened so that 1t can do it's part of the work without the aid of medicine
 There is no remedy known today that we believe does this work so effective- ly as does Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin.
 1t aids digestion and at the same time strengthens the stomach and pro- notes the secretion Of sufficient juices so that the stomach does its work nor mally. without the aid of medicine. It gives easy. natural regularity 10 the bowels without pain or gripe and it so relieves and strengthens them that you do not contract the habit as with pills and mineral waters or salts.
 All druggists sell 1t at soc and si.eo bottle. Pepsin Syrup Co.,, 333 Gala well Bldg. Monticello. Ill, Is glad to send q free sample to any one used 1t and will give 1t a fair trial

A GOOD SUGGESTION.

An officer of the Kansas City Hu- mane Society suggests that all the parks and other public grounds of the city should be made the haunt and refuge of wild birds. We are not told how he proposes to carry out his idea, but it is a good one. all the same. and should be adopted in all the large cities. It would eventually work out itself. for the natural instincts of the bird family leads them to congregate at such places as promise them abso- lute safety. If they could be made safe from molestation in the public parks they would be sure to congre- gate there and would multiply rapidly. The Indianapolis Star replying for its own city. remarks that much of the difficulty incident to the growing of trees along Indianapolis streets is due to the absence of birds which might destroy the insects that feed upon them. and if the surrounding parks should all become inhabited by birds the streets would soon benefit by their vicinity. Birds speedily learn where they are safe, and many varieties show little fear of their human neighbors when this feeling of security Is once established. often becoming quite tn- different to their existence. The stray cat problem and the English sparrow nuisance are in the way of any such pleasing arrangement so far as cities are concerned. but these difficulties may in time be disposed of"
 The stray cat nuisance might be abated, but we are not sure that the English sparrow Is as obnoxious as Is charged. If they do not at least par tially subsist on insects we are at some loss to know how they find a living, but even if they are not In any de- gree insectiverous means could be found to get rid of them If they are shown to stand in the way of the in- troductlon and preservation of the birds known to be useful and helpful.
 What The Star says concerning the difficulty of growing trees in the city is sustained by reports we read from many other large cities. Within the past few years we have been reading continual complaints to the effect that not only the fruit trees but the elmi and other shade trees are being abso' lutely destroyed by certain species oi insects. That the multiplication and wide distribution of this pest Is due te the general and ruthless des Fuctior of inseet-eating birds is beyond ques'

 1Bryan will be injured in California by Hearsta opposition perhaps more than any where else The independence party cuts quite a figure in the big cities there. It prevented the election two years ago of the same young Mir. Bell who made such a favorable impression on the democratic lead CTS temporary chairman of the Denver convention. He was beaten for governor by a scant 5000 votes, his defeat being every where charged to the hostility of the Hearst organization. The Hearst newspa- pers in san Francisco and Los Angeles are devotinE more attention to pounding Mir. Bryan than to any other phase of the pres idential fight.
 Mir. Bryan considers California fighting ground The state was csrried by Cleveland in 1892 by A votes. but one of the ten electoral votes was cast for Harrison. In the three succeeding presidential campaigns the republicans captufed the state Mo Kinley's first plurality was 2.7OO, his sec ond lO. .000 and Roosevelt rolled up the
