DESERTIONS FROM
ARMY ARB FEWER
Reports Better Than Any
Year Since 1901.
More Descrtions in Spring and Early
Summer Than at Any Other
Time.
ENLISTED STRENGTH GREATER,

Washington, Dec, 5.-The cam
paign III the war department against
assertions from the army is meeting
with success, according to Adjt. Gen.
r. c. Ainsworth, U. S. A., who states
in his annual report to the secretary
of war. made public today, that the
relative number of assertions was less
in 1908 than in any other fiscal year
since 1901.
The desertions during the fiscal
year 1905 were 1906, or 4.6 per
cent. OF the whole number of enlisted
men in service in the army during
that year. In 1897, the percentage
was Sc, and in 1906, It reached the
record Of IA per cent. Every branch
of tne service showed a decrease in
the number of desertions during the
wear, with the single exception of the
hospital corps, in which there was a
slight increase.
General AinsYorth points out the
significant fact of the white troops
AIS per cent. were reported as de
serters. while only O.57 per cent. of
the colored men in the service desert
ed. Another fact that Gen. Aims
worth has demonstrated is that there
were more desertions in April. May
and June, at least in 1905, than in
any other months Of the year.
II is pointed out in the report that
while there was an increase in the
authorized enlisted strength of the
army. there was a much larger In
crease in the actual strength which
was only 1915 enlisted men short Of
the authorized strength of October
Is, 1907. The total actual strength
of the army not including the hos
pital corps, on October 10, 1908, was
1876, as compared with 5S,99S a
year previous.
At the close of the fiscal year, 1897
per cent Of the line officers and 1911
per cent of the general and stan off,
GERS were absent from their com
mands. Gen. Ainsworth points out
that at the close of the preceding
year 27.14 per cent. of the line OH
GERS and 1916 per cent. of the gen
eral and staff officers were so absent.
As a result of the riding tests or
dered by the president nineteen Off
GERS were placed on the retired list.
In commenting on the difficulties
experienced in the past in obtaining
recruits. Gen. Ainsworth says that
''as a result of the earnest and cond-
tinue efforts OF the officers engaged
in recruiting, a sufficient number of
recruits was obtained not only to
fill the vacancies occurring during
that year, but also to make consider
able progress In filing the army to
its maximum authorized strength"

Paducah People Greatly Interested
in the Generous OGer of W. H.
Mcpherson.

The people have already demon
strated that they would rather trust a
man who is naturally honest, than
one who was honest only because ne
had to be.
w n, Mcpherson has firmly es-
tablished reputation for square deal
ing and sterling honesty. When ne
told the people that Rexall Remedies
are the purest and most dependable
remedies that it is possible for mod
ern science to produce, and that ne
would tell the public exactly what
each of these 800 remedies contained
and that he sold Rexall Remedies on
his own personal guarantee that they
would give entire satisfaction or the
medicine would not cost the user a
single cent he was believed.
Ever since this announcement the
store of W. b. Mcpherson has been
crowded by people buying Rexall
Remedies: all of which proves that
w. b. Mcpherson has the confidence

There is no "cure-alr' among the
Rexan Remedies, are 800 dif-
ferent and separate medicines; one

tionably the best of lis kind.
Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets are par
ticularly recommended for the posi-
tive cure of stomach irritation, indi-
gestion and dyspepsia. They are rich

Everyone suffering from a stomach
