Feet Must Be Studied by Officers in the Army

OF the infantry will receive like atten-
ton.
Company commanders will person
ally inspect the bare feet Of their
men before a march is undertaken"
reads the order. while on the march
they will personally see each day that
their men wash their feet as soon rs
possible after reaching camp, prick
and evacuate blisters, dust the feet
with foot powder supplied by the
medical department, and put on clean
socks"
BY way Of emphasizing the neces-
sity for obeying this order, another
clause says: Thereafter an undue
amount of foot injury and disability
from shoes will be regarded as evil
dence of ineficiency on the part Of
the officers concerned as cause for
investigation"
Then there is thus further instruc-
ton:
Company commanders will cause
the proper trimming of nails, removal
or pairing of corns and callouses, re-
lief of painful bunions, treatment Of
ingrowing nails, and other defects,
sending serious cases to the surgeon.
There is one phase of the order that
will be appreciated by the bachelor
infantrymen. It is that "darned sox
or socks with holes. will not be worn
in marching"

that medicine was in her trunk she
had almost left home.

Car Fare Was Wanted by Georgia moonshiner

4 RNOLD A. BLAYLOCK, twenty
IA eight years old, said to be the
finest specimen OF genuine noun
tain moonshiner ever captured in the
national capital, who was arrested the
other night after he had surrendered
himself at police headquarters and an
nounced he was a fugitive from the
"revnoo officers" was released when
the police learned he is not fugitive.
Blaylock's little scheme to trick the
police into paying his railroad fare
back to his farm in the mountains of
White county, about 20 miles from
Gainesville, Ca, was turned inside
out by the police when they received
word from Gainesville that Blaylock
is not wanted there.
The moonshiner was arrested a few
weeks ago for alleged illicit distilling,
but he furnished 5000 bond and is
free to go and come until his case is
called for trial in October. It remain
ed for Blaylock to explain why he
suddenly left his home and journeyed
to Washington, and in the explanation
he revealed feud in embryo.
Two years ago Blaylock sold 500
acres of land to Henry Gerard,
British Columbian. Some weeks ago
Blaylock's COWS destroyed Gerrard's

ID BIRMINGHAM, Ala.-A white WON
ID an named Mrs. fillmore was ar
raigned before Judge Benners Of the
court Of common pleas the other day
on a charge of the larceny of COW
belonging to an aged negro woman
named Adelaide Williams. The evil
dence was not sufficient to sustain the
charge, but it revealed state of
facts that showed the credulence OF
the negro race in the efficiency of the
'hoodoo."
The negro woman stated that she
was the proud mother of yellow girl
of about seventeen years old that in
stead of staying at home the said of
spring, as the old woman expressed
it, went "er gallivantin' wild de boys"
This behavior on the part of her

he got through with it nothing was
left but the superscription Sir" and
the signature of the writer outside the
message to be conveyed.
Along with the excess verbiage the
army has also discarded the elaborate
system of recording the business of
the various branches of the service by
means of lengthy letters detailing
what might pass in the ordinary
course Of the days work as business
conversations. Major Brown would
write three-page letter to Lieutenant
Colonel Black. who sat opposite him in
division Of the war department.
Black would be sitting so close to
Brown that the dictation of the letter
would disturb the peace and quiet of
the latter's days work, but the letter
was part of the method of keeping the
record straight. Under the new sys.
TEN the conversation of Brown and
Black will be noted and the result re.
corded, thereby saving much time and
good-sized amount of government
stationery and clerk hire.
The shorter method is making big
hit with the younger element in the
army

respectful to the chief of staff than he
