Washington, May 24--with the call
for volunteers hanging in the balance,
again we are faced with the alterna-
tive of sending unframed youths from
their homes to the battle field. All
experiences of the past, however Bit
ter, have been disregarded by our law
makers when it comes to providing for
partial training of those young men
who will constitute the major portion
of our army in case of war. Re-
cruits can be taught to march, drill
and take care of themselves in the
field in a comparatively short period,
but such is not the case with the care
and effective use of the service arm.
A long step in the right direction
has been taken by the present Con-
gress when it enacted into law, through
a paragraph in the Army Appropria-
ton Bill, authority for the war de-
pertinent to issue rifles and am
munition free to civilian rifle clubs
and school cadet corps. When the
regular army was re-armed in 1903
with the so-called new Springfield
rifle, the government had on hand, in
addition TO those turned in by the
troops, about 100000 of the arm then
in use by the army, popularity called
the "Krag." Although the new arm
in some respects is superior TO the old
one. nevertheless the "Krag" has
proven it's ability as an arm of dura-
biIity and accuracy and held the
worlds record for long range team
shooting up to 1912. 1t is this rifle
issue to clubs and cadet corps under
this act.
The enactment of this legislation
marks the beginning of revival OF
the noble sport of craftsmanship IN
this country. as it will enable many
thousands -ef our young men, who
could i'll afford to dig down in their
pockets and purchase rifles and am
uunition. to devote some portion of
their time to training in marksman-
shin. Every American boy with red
blood in his veins has an inherited de-
sire TO shoot a rifle and the giving to
him of this opportunity without cost
to himself will result in the training
of a large body of youthful reservists
in this country, whose value as an as
set to the national military strength is
inestimable.
1t is a fundamental principle of ma
tional defense that citizens should be
trained in the use of the service arm
Rifle instruction is the keynote of ma
tional defense in Switzerland. If we
were TO train our citizens in the same
proportion as that small republic, we
would have about 100000 trained
rifiprapn Although
the Government has before this done
little to stimulate and promote sueh
training, we have an organization
which vas organized and which exists
entirely for this purpose-the National

Gold Discovered
At Bar Harbor

Bar Harbor, Me-, May 25.-Horace
D, Joy, real estate agent, who owns
a large property on Strawberry Hill,
which has recently been surveyed by
Edgar Lord and cut into acre lots,
while walking over mis- property on
Friday reports that he found an out
cropping vein of fine quartz with a
very heavy percentage OF pure gold.
Mr. Joy states that the gold was
analysed by one of the local jewellers
who pronounced it of very fine quail
ity, and it is Mr.. joys conviction that
there is very fine crop of it. He
says it has long been his conviction
that gold was in the rocks on Straw
berry Hill and if his discovery proves
to be part of valuable gold deposit
he will go to work at once to get it
out. Mr.. joys report caused great
excitement upon the streets Friday
afternoon and business men visited
each other in their stores and remark
ed that whether there was much of
the gold or not, the fact that it was
discovered on Mount Desert Island
was something of interest. Mr.. Joys
Investigations to ascertain the area
and amount of the deposit will be
awaited with the greatest interest
both here and elsewhere.

that within a comparatively short
time it will be possible to motor over

of the Canadian Good Road Assocla-

in forming is the fact that there are

Provincial and Dominion governments,
as to the expenditure of road funds

To Put on Flesh

A Physicians Advice.

Most thin people eat from four to
six pounds of good solid fat-making
food every day and still do not in
crease in weight one ounce, while on
the other hand many of the plump.
chunky folks eat very lightly and keep
gaining all the time. It's all bosh to
say that this is the nature Of the in
dividual. 1t isn't Natures way at all.
This folks stay thin because their
powers of assimilation are defective.
They absorb just enough Of the food
they eat to maintain life and a SEM
blance of health and strength. Stuffing
won't help them. A dozen meals a
day won't may them gain a single

ducing elements of their food just
stay in the intestines until they pass
from the body as waste. What such
people need is something that will
prepare these fatty food elements so
that their blood can absorb them and
deposit them all about the body
something, too, that will multiply their
red blood corpuscles and increase
their blood's carrying power.
For such a condition I always rec

Canada Plans Road Improve

pledged the government to aid the
provinces in every way possible
While it is true that the roads in
Canada, for the main part, are in
rather bad shape, this Congress will
undoubtedly be the entering wedge to
movement which will spread
throughout the various provinces. The
permanent organization which was
formed is designed to bring together
all factions and to unite the provinces
into one centralized movement for
the betterment of roads
The Congress was a complete sue

which clearly shows the determination
OF the San Bias Indian of Panama to
maintain his foothold in the fertile ter
ritory in which he lives as we'll as his
desire to maintain purity of blood A
short time ago the chief of the tribe liv-
ing at Rio Biablo, on the San Bias

to leave the country. The old chief made
1t clear that the day either the white
man or negro acquires foothold among
them that day will mark the beginning
of the loss of their independence.

Panama. May 25.-Stoppage of the Te-

has so increased traffic across the 18TH
mus of Panama that the Panama Rail
road is almost unable to cope with the
situation. Practically every car the rail-
road owns is in service and still noun
tains of freight at the terminals show no
signs of diminution Several large
freighters are seen daily at anchor in the
Pacific roadstead off Balboa waiting for
a chance to get to the wharf to unload
their cargoes that are destined finally to
reach New York and other Eastern
United States ports.
At the time the route across Mexico
was interrupted there were several ships
unloading in the harbor at Salina Cruz
Every effort was made to unload the
ships and get away before the port was
closed, but several of the vessels were
unable to get their cargoes on the wharf
in time. In consequence they sailed for
Panama with parts OF their cargoes.
The arrival of the sugar ships of the
Hawaiian American line led the Panama
Canal authorities to start a barge line
through the canal in hope of relieving
the situation.
