A Des Moines man had an attack OF
muscular rheumatism in his shoulder.
A friend advised him to go to Hot
Springs. That meant an expense OF
$3.50 or more. He sought for a quicker
and cheaper way to cure it and found
it in Chamberlain's Liniment. Three
days after the first application of this
liniment he was well. For sale by all

sehoo, For Citizen sold;sry.

The secretary commits himself I'M
quallfedly to the theory that 1t 10

school Of the citizen soldier. as OPP
pos,d - those who contend for n
permanent organization of professional
soldiers. He declares that the body OF
highly polished soldiers with which
Frederick the Great conducted his cam
paign has no place in modern society
or modern war Therefore the secretary
disapproves Of the long term of enlist
ment and favors the shortening Of the
present term to less than three years
so as to allow as many men as possible
to go thru the training Of the regular
army. while retaining some hold over
the discharged soldier by which he can
be called to the colors In case of war.
Wherein Ineffective.

this, but the losses which are certain

tinental route thru the waterway and
to regulate rates, thus preventing tho
great railway interests from exercising
control. While the government should
build and operate drydocks. repair
shops and coaling stations along the
canal, Secretary Stinyon urges that OPP
portunity be offered for the sale OF
coal and other supplies by private per-
sons.
Army Posts Unfit.
The army posts as at present located
are declared to be wholly unfit and to
lead to great extravaganza. They were
originally In many cases located with
reference to possible Indian troubles
and few OF them are In positions suited
to meet the strategic needs OF national
action or defense. The average num-
Der of companies to each Of the forty
nine posts Is only nine.
In short" says the secretary. we
have scattered our army over the coun-
try as If II were merely groups Of local
constabulary instead Of a national or
ganization, The result. Is an army
which is extraordinarily expensive to
maintain. and one whose efficiency for

cation can nullify 1t. 1t Is true that the
small units into which 1t has thus been
subdivide1 have as a whole maintained
efficiency to a remarkable extent. Hut
for the remote contingency by which a
national army must be always judged.
namely, the contingency of war with
a first class power. the army Is practi-
cally unprepared."
Too Much Local Influence.
Calling attention to the fact that up
wards of $94, OOO, 900 has been spent on
existing army posts and that the profit
which each post furnishes to neighbor-
ing communities causes strong local
pressure against any change in loca-
| tion. the secretary declares that never
theless steps have been taken. and

to correct as far as possible these faults
