Even the Representatives in Con-
gress are Becoming Concerned
Washington, Dec. 2O-Members of
Congress are becoming more and
more concerned about the condition
Of the army, Notwithstanding the eff
fort of President Taft to minimize
the seriousness of the situation as
set forth in the special report prepar-
ed by Secretary Dickinson in res
ponse to a resolution from the House
of Representatives
Chairman Hull of the House COM
mittee on military affairs contributed
a new sensation when he declared
that the reserve supply of ammuni-
ton OF the field artillery would be ex-
hausted in one engagement. Mr. Hull
expressed the view that the field
artillery was the weak point in the
land forces of the national defense
and he believes that it will continue
to make the entire army vulnerable
unless Congress strengthens 1t i'm
mensely. This statement was made
by Mr.. Hull as he left the White
House and while he is not prepared
to say that he communicated his pes
simistic views TO President Taft, it
is believed that he went over the sit
uation with him in great detail.

The note was unsigned but was in Mrs

Mrs. Beedle. who only the last two or

and more suspicious OF hi sactions, until
she became unbalanced mentally. The re-

was a new one, an done which Mr.. Beedle
asserts he did not know his wife possessed.

BAD BLOOD
OFTEN INHERITED

Bad blood does not always come as
the result of careless living, or indis-
cretions; it is a condition frequently
inherited. Normal, healthy blood
contains millions of tiny red corpus
cles, which are the vitalizing and
nourishing element of the circulation,
their Office being to provide every
portion of the system with its neces-
sary strength and nutriment. In
weak, impure blood these corpuscles
are lacking in numbers, and therefore
the blood is not able to supply the
proper amount of nourishment to the
body. Bad blood manifests itself in
many ways, With some it takes the
form of skin diseases and eruptions,
others become bilious and malarious,
with sallow compilations, torpid liver,
etc. Bad blood produces Rheumatism,
Catarrh, Sores and Ulcers, Scrofula
and like troubles. Nothing is equal
to S. S. S. as a remedy for bad blood;
it is the greatest of all blood purifiers,
