FUNSTON SUSTAINED.
General Weston Would Remove Mus
kerry School to Middle West

Washington, Sept. Elm his an
nual report Major General Weston,
commanding the department of Cali
fornia renews the recommendation
made by General Funston last year
that the school of musketry now at
the Preside of Monterey, be trans
ferred to one of the large posts in
the middle west.
The work of the schooY ne says, has
been most satisfactory but it is be-
lieved that better results would be OBJ
tained by placing 1t at more central
post. 1t is recommended that the
small arms firing regulations be modi-
fed so far as they require commits
stoned competitor to make a score
equal to five per cent increase over
that of an enlisted member of the
team, in order to win a medal.
I'VE are now says General Weston
developing such a class of highly
trained INSTRUMENTATION in
this department, where enlisted men
are afforded the opportunity of pur-
suing the course of thorough instruc-
ton in the musketry schooI-that it
is a matter of extreme difficulty for
an officer to compete against such a
handicap as a five per cent increase.
The record of this years COMPETE
tosr will probably disclose that but a
small number of officers have obtain
ed medals, and it is therefore recon-
mended that this percentage of in
cerase be changed from five to three"

THREE YEARS
OF TORTURE
INSTANT RELIEF SEEMS LIKE A
MIRACLE

We are living today in an age of
wonderful works. and, while many
things considered commonplace today
We're considered marvellous a decade
ago, we are constantly having new
wonders brought before US. We have
only in recent years ceased to marvel
at the possibilities of the local and
long distance telephones and now that
some one has perfected a wireless sys-
tenn, we will soon come to look upon
the present system as crude and obso-
lete. Probably more money is spent
each year in investigating human dis
eases and their treatment than any
other branch of science, but we have
not as yet reached the point where we
can avoid entirely either disease or its
baneful effects, but medical scientists
have today positive cure for many
diseases short time ago considered
absolutely incurable. The United Doc
tors, who are located at $40 Kansas
avenue, are considered among the
foremost of the medical specialists and
are daily performing feats that a short
time ago would have been believed ut
terly impossible. Mrs. J. B. Wright,
who lives at 1883 North Thirty-first
street. Lincoln, Neb., says: 81 had
suffered three years with rheumatism
and had taken nearly everything, ard

for 5000 an acre. was in the same family

was decided to his son. w. l. Joseph,
bought the place of his uncle seven

The tract is among the best land on
