The third night of Sergeant Cody S
stay with the men of Company II was
occupied with drill by the command
to exemplify some of the theories that
the regular army man has tried to
teach the militiamen. 1t differs from
the one Monday night. in that each of
the corporals instead OF the captain,
lieutenants and sergeants drilled the
men. Another "non-con" school will
be held tonight.

Medicine Made from Roots and Herbs

In the good oldfashioned days of
our grandmothers they depended up
on medicines made from the roots
and herbs of the field to cure disease
Lydia Il. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound, that standard remedy which
is made from roots and herbs for
woman's ills, had its origin in this
way. For thirty years it has been re-
deeming its promise written on the
label of every bottle by curing thous-
ands of women of feminine ills. It's
a good honest medicine.

herself were away. He held that, as
this was the case, when she started
the mangle she assumed the risks,
OF which she had been warned. He
said that the reason Mr., Heaphy had

water motor that drove the mangle.
Referring to the allusion of the coun-

ability of Mrs. Heaphy operating the
mangle, Mr.. Shurtleff said that she
had worked her way up from the
ranks to her present position and
without doubt had run mangle be-

No Corsets at West Point

Col. K. B. Collins, retired army officer who
was seen at the Raleigh in discussing West
Pointers said to reporter of the Washington
Herald: Il have often heard a question as
to whether West Pointers wore corsets It is
absurd, in way, because should any effem-
mate youngster resort to such a thing it
would be an impossibility to keep the affair
secret, and, once known, his school life would
become burden to him on account of the
endless amount of criticism he would receive
from his fellows. He would be made the
laughing stock of the school and would soon
md himself the possessor of any number of
effeminate nicknames that would crate upon
his ears in any but pleasant manner
1T is true" continued the old soldier, that
many West Pointers acquire a figure the per-
lection of symmetry and carriage the acme
of manly grace, but these are due not to any
ingenious appliance, but to the systematic
drills and exercises that make every cadet. to
a certain extent, an athlete. At the outset
these young fellows are put through what are
called the setting up exercises, their object
being to straighten the body and develop tn.
chest. One might suppose that it would re-
quire a great amount of such exercise to make
any marked showing, but three long hours
of such exercise daily will soon produce bene-
fetal results in the most stopped forms.
The cadet uniform is also a great help in
tigas The shoulders are heavily padded in
order TO give them square effect. The chest
is made thick so that there will be no dan
ger os wrinkling. And in size, new dress
coat seems always to be designed for a boy
several sizes smaller than the one who is to
wear it. A new dress coat, in fact is always
a source of suffering to its owner. When he
first puts it on, 1t buttons readily about the
neck but seems to lack about six inches at
the waist. The owner may squirm and wrig-
gle and attempt to reduce his waist to a mini
mum circumference, but his maiden efforts are
never sufficient to button the new dress coat
Experience is great teacher, though, and the
young fellow laughingly requests one or two
friends to lend their assistance, and with their
combined Juggling and squeezing he finally sue
ceeds in buttoning the coat. All this for the
sake of looks; comfort has no place in the
makeup Of West Pointer; it is discipline and
looks"

La Pampa Santiago and Salta, each of which
provinces carries from about 100000 to l,000,-

of these numbers In the north, Misiones,
Formosa and Ell Chaco, and in the south Rio

portant cattle districts. Even San Juan and
Neuquen on the Andean slope, and Santa

can be raised with profit In fact there is
but little territory in the Argentine Republic
which is not suitable for either cattle or sheep.
Beef is exported from the La Plata region
on the hoof, as sailed or as meat extracts, and
frozen in quarters
England is the principal market for South
American beef. The frozenmeat industry in
the Argentine Republic has grown up since
the closing of the English market to live
cattle.
In the year 1908 the Argentine Republic ex-
ported 60,916 head of live beef cattle, three
fourths of which went to Chile. 1t exported
2,295,7S4 quarters (573,946 whole beeves) Of
frozen beef, and from the sailing works 1885,
400 beeves as salt beef meat extract or jerked
beef
In this latter industry Uruguay in addition
exported $4,000 and southern Brazil 425,000
head, respectively.

dustry the La Plata region offers the very
best of chances In fact. it is without a rival
and will remain such until a like enterprise
and capital which has there produced such
