CAVALRY BRIGADE 70 Be LOCATED IN TEXAS
San Antonio Made Army Division Un-
der Reorganization Plan Ordered
BY the President

Washington. Provision for the
tactical organization of the United
States army into three infantry d.
visions and one cavalry division, is
made in an order issued by direction
of President Taft and made public
Monday by Secretary of War Stimson.
This plan of reorganization, which
becomes effective February Is, in
cludes the entire mobile army within
the continental limits of the United
States, as first drafted by the war col
lege division of the general staff, and
was determined upon with some modi-
fications at the close of conference
OF general officers at the war depart
ment last month
Hitherto there has been no tactical
organization other than a regiment.
There have been no brigades or d.
visions existing in time of peace.
Upon the outbreak of war, when an
army was needed, it was necessary to
create such an army under all the
stress and hurry and excitement of
such an occasion. In order to carry
out the necessary administrative work
connected with the military establish
ment of the United States, the coun-
try has been divided by the new or
der into four geographical depart
ments-an Eastern, Central, Western
and Southern department, with head
quarters, respectively, at Governors
Island, Chicago, San Francisco and
San Antonio,
One army division will be situated
in each of these departments, the
cavalry division being in the Southern
department, with an infantry division
in each of the remaining departments.
The Eastern and Western depart
ments are virtually the same terri
torially as the present Eastern and
Western divisions, while the Southern
department is carved from the pres
ent Central division.

REALLY NAMED FOR STATE
Mississippi River Steamers Orlulnated
Cognomen That Has Now Be.
come Universal.

On the Mississippi river in olden
days the passenger steamboats, were
very ornate affairs, vying with each
other in garish glory. One owner hit
on the Idea OF naming his steam
boats cabins instead Of numbering
them. So he named them In honor of
the states Of the union, each having
above the door the gilt title of some
state, the big central cabin being call.
ed the Texas" after the largest state.
Other boat owners took up the idea,
and thus the word cabin was grad
ually alternated BY state" room. For
years the best cabin was still known
as the Texas. Then that sobriquet died
with the ebbing glory of the old river
steamers. But the word "stateroom"
became incorporated into our Ian
guage, and in time even broke into the
dictionary, as does many another
catch phrase. Not one person in thou.
sand who occupies stateroom knows
the term once meant "a room named
for a state"

A TONIC LAXATIVE

Of a good tonic laxative the great major

Peruna is remedy that should be kept
in the house. Its virtue as preventive
to disease is the thing | wish chiefly to
emphasize.
A slight condition of constipation may
lead to serious suggishness of the bowels,
billousness, re-absorp:ion of poisonous ma
terial and finally sickness. Or apathy Of
the stomach in which the food is not rel.
ished, may gradually lead TO atomic dyspep.
STA or to the acquisition of some acute dis
ease. For either one of these conditions
few doses Of the tonic laxative Peruna
would set matters right This is why the
remedy should always be kept handy by.
When once the value of Peruna as
household remedy is understood no home
would be without it. Cathartics, pills and
powders would be discarded Irritating
tonics would be no longer taken. Alco-
ho!ic drinks would have no place. With a
few doses of Peruna vigorous appetite 10
produced and if there be any sluggishness
Of the bowels their function is gradually
restored.
Most laxatives are weakening in their
effect. A tonic laxative guards against
this weakening effect. Until right living
has become SO thoroughly established that
all medicines are superfuous, Peruna will
be needed. 1t is exactly the remedy that
meets numerous necessities of the house
