SOLDIERS MAY
HAVE 70 WEAR
WOOL UNIFORMS

There is a chance that the olive
drab cotton uniform of Uncle Sam s
soldiers may be abolished, and a light
weight of the woolen olive drab sub
stituted. That this would be serious
error from a sanitary standpoint for
the tropical service, is the opinion nf
army medicos on Oahu, who favor the
cotton uniform because it can be
thrown into the wash tub when soiled.
and brought out as fresh as when 1t
was issued. Weird cufor combina-
tions, due to the unequal fading OF
blouse and breeches, do not outweigh
the hygienic advantages of the wash
goods, say the medical men.
Major General J. B. Aleshire, chief
of the quartermaster corps of the
army, who recently has been in the
West on an inspection trip, has sug-
gested that change be made in the
uniform cIdlh He suggests that two
weights be used to suit climatic condl-
tions, and says that woolen cloth Is
far more comfortable than cotton.
"A uniform that can be washed is
essential for a climate of this kind" !"
said Colonel D. NJ Appel, department
surgeon, this morning. Naturally
the men sweat a great deal when ex-
ercising, and a woolen uniform would
soon become soiled and insanitary.
The washtub is necessity for uni
forms worn in the tropics"
A number of officers here believe
that the lightweight woolen uniform
is quite as cool as the olive drab cot
ton, and it certainly has the advantage
of being smarter in appearance. The
enlisted men would undoubtedly well
come the issue of such uniform to
wear when they are on pass, on ac-
count of it's neater appearance, and
better tailoring.
This uniform puzzle for enlisted
,nen IN the tropics is by no means
new. There are many soldiers who
have expressed themselves in favor OF
a white uniform with long trousers,
instead of the uncomfortable leggings,
to be worn on pass. Many men would
be willing to buy these in addition TO
The regular equipment, if it were op-
tional, and to stand the laundry bills.
Another suggestion is that white
uniform with a hair-line blue stripe.

te adopted for dress wear in the
tropics.
1t has also been suggested by The
quartermaster general that the pres
ent style of Logging be abandoned by
the war department, and the old style
laced Logging. with the strap under
the foot, be returned to- favor. This
suggestion is not liked here, as II
was found that in wet weather mud
worked under the instep strap, and
was even forced up the inside of the
Logging.

IT Mothers Only Knew
By Or. L..e

Nineteen twentieths of the sickness of
children have two causes constipation
and worms
The danger of constipation is UNDER
stood, but there are so different kinds of
worms that may exist in the stomach and
bowels, and children are especially apt to
have them Usually stomachand pin worms.
Signs of worms are; Indigestion, with
a variable appetite; abnormal craving for
sweets; nausea and vomiting; swollen upper
lip; sour tongue; offensive breath; hard and
full belly with occasional gripings and
pains about the navel; face at one time
flushed, then pale and in few cases the
face takes on a dull leaden hue; eyes
heavy and dull, twitching eyelids; itching
of the nose; itching of the rectum; short,
dry cough; grinding of the teeth; little
red points sticking out on tongue; starting
during sleep; slow fever; pulse quickened
and irregular; body may be hot; and
often, in children, commissions.
Rid the child of worms and you will
have a healthy, happy child.
NOTE-Dr. True's own prescription,
sold under the name of DR.. True's Elixir,
is the best remedy in the world for worms.
Itdestroys all worm life, expels worms from
the body and makes the child healthy again.

Edison's Talking Pictures.

Talking movies" as the latest inven-
| tion of Thomas A. Edison is called, will
make their first appearance in Barre on
Wednesday night, July 80, at the opera
house.
! One fact clearly demonstrated by these
| "talkies" is the perfect synchronism of
voice and action. As in the case of the
| first telegraph, telephone and wireless
telegraph, the first device embodying
the cardinal principles of any new and
startling invention, the thing itself has
been achieved and has proved its possi-
bility and practicability.
All that now remained for Edison to
do was to make the talking movies an
absolute success in the entertainment
OF the masses and in the performance of
an even greater and more important
fuetion, the preservation for posterity
of the words and deeds and appearances
of the prominent men and women of all
walks of life of the present day. The
success which he has achieved from this
invention will be clearly demonstrated
to those witnessing the performance of
these pictures during their engagement
in this city.
The silent moving pictures have all
ready reached high stage of perfec-
ton at the hands of Edison. 1t Is we'll
within the memory of everyone, the tre-
mendous advance in moving pictures
since the early days of the Pickering,
eye-tiring cinematograph films that be-
cause of the great expense of their man.
ufactme, attracted at first only the adj
yenturous spirits among promoters.
The talking machine now combined
with the moving pictures is the latest
and perhaps most wonderful of all the
results of Edison's tireless and persist
ent work in the realm of electrical sci
ence Those failing to witness these
pictures should go down in the annals
of history as missing the greatest en-
tertainment of its kind ever put before

AMUSEMENT NOTES
All Next Week at Inter City Park.

/ Commencing Monday, July 2sth, The
Latlip Exposition shows, tunitedi vii
exhibit their 20 high-class shows anC
riding devices at InterCity park for one
week. The community at large knows
what to expect when the park manage
ment will go to the expense of securing
so large an attraction to entertain their
patrons.
The arrangement and adornment OF
the park will be striking and novel
features, entertainment for visitors of
all ages and conditions, including hourly
free attractions. The public can rest as
sured that these shows have been Sc
lected for their quality, as well as their
entertaining features.
Nothing Objectionable viii be shown,
and no gambling devices such as are
sometimes carried by the cheaper run of
circus and carnival companies are al
lowed upon the grounds or vicinity of
the exposition show grounds.
A special feature is Capt, David Lat
lips double high-dive, from ladder of
no feet in height, in conjunction with
the equally as daring feat of the lady
with the auburn hair, who dives from a
height of 90 feet This feature is only
one of IL absolutely free attractions
carried by the show and as deathde-
flying act has no equal in theatrical
circles
Then there is Sam Anderson, cham
pion middle weight wrestler of the
world, and his big athletic show. Mr..
Anderson is the holder OF the champion
ship belt embematic of the aforesaid
championship. Mr.. Anderson as a spe-
cial feature and TO allow the members of
the audience to test his skill, offers the
sum of five dollars a minute to any man
who will stay upon the mat without a
fall, for five minutes
There is also a Roman hippodrome cir
Gus, consisting of some of the finest cir
Gus acts ever placed before the American
public This show is the longest of the
10 and takes over an hour and half
to give a complete performance.
Then there are the diving girls; some
of which are holders OF several medals
won upon both sides of the Atlantic in
open competition.
The crazy house has been exhibited so
often in this vicinity, with such great
success, and a positive winner among
the old and young lovers of fun and
amusement, that this big feature does
not need introducing.
Beside the big Eli Ferris wheel, merry
and ocean wave, there are sew
eral other attractions which will make

100000 COKE PRODUCTION.
Value of Illinois Output for 1919 In
creases by Nearly $1,000, 900.

The production of coke in Illinois in
| 1912 amounted to l,764,944 short tons
valued at SS096,003, against l,6l0,2la
tons, valued at S6,6390,25l, in 1911, &C.
cording to Z. w. Parker of the United
States geological survey. The average
value per ton advanced from 1897 to
S4.57 In spite of the increase in pro-
duction, Illinois dropped from fourth to
| fifth place in rank among the states be-
cause of the much larger increase in In
diana that followed the putting in blast
of the entire plant of $50 koppers ovens
of the United States steel corporation
at Gary, which advanced that state from
sixth to third place.
All the coke produced in Illinois in
1911 and 1912 was made in retort ovens,
much of the coal being drawn from West
Virginia mines; no beehive coke was
produced i'm the state In some of the
ovens, the charge consists of mixture
of West Virginia and Illinois Goals in the
proportion of to /. This has been
found to make an entirely satisfactory
coke. There were four retort plants,
with a total of SOS ovens in operation
in 1912. One of these plants consisted
of 240 Semet- Solvay ovens, operated by
the By Products Coke corporation at
South Chicago. The plant has been en-
larged three times, the latest addition
of 40 ovens being completed in 1912.
Thirteen of the same kind of ovens
were operated by the North Shore Gas
company at Waukegan, having been
completed in 1912. These ovens are
heated by producer gas made from the
coke. All the retort gas goes to the
city mains.
A plant of $50 Koppers ovens was
operated by the Illinois Steel company
at Joliet, built in 1908 and 1909, and
another of 80 by the Coal Products Man
ufacturing company, also at Joliet, com
pleted in 1912. The surplus gas from the
former is used at the steel plant, and
that from the latter is furnished to the
city mains.
