Roxbury. Ohio. -" when my little boy
was two weeks old he began breaking out on
his checks. The eczema began just with
pimples and they seemed to itch SO badly
he would scratch his face and cause
matter to rum Wherever that matter
would touch. it would cause another
pimple until IL spread all over his body.
It caused Disagreement while it lasted
He had fifteen places on one arm and
his head had several. The deepest places
on his checks were as large rs n silver
dollar on each side. He was SO restless at
night We had to put mittens on him TO keep
him from scratching them with his finger
nails. He could not sleep because 1 put
those mittens on which would not allow him
TO scratch and then no would wake up and
be cross. II he got little too warm at
night IT seemed to hurt badly.
-'wo tried n treatment and hc didn't get
any better. He had the eczema about three
weeks when we began using Cuticura Soap

Strategical reconnaissance is effective
within a radius of $50 miles from the
starting point and is for the purpose
OF determining the position, strength,
and direction of advance. the large
elements of the enemys' forces, and
also the character fthe roads. rail-
roads streams, and general military
topography OF the theatre o fopera-
tons.
Tactical reconnaissance is more ex-
tended in its nature and is not con-
fined to a radius of $50 miles. Aero
planes are comparatively safe at AL
times from the enemy sire and alb
solutely safe at 1000 feet.
Particular attention IS given in the
directions to the operations in the
field. Good marching results from
careful preparations. strict discipline,
and the careful observance of march
sanitation. Conditioning OF men and
horses is absolutely necessary, as is
the care OF their feet and the backs OF
the steeds.
The average march of infantry and
mixed commands is fifteen miles a
day. though on forced marches this

In retreat the supply trains must go
first. The infantry must bring up the
rear, with the cavalry harassing the
pursuing foe to the greatest o fits
ability. The formation of an effective
rear guard is the first care of a re-

may be doubled. The average march
of cavalry after both men and animals
are hardened is twenty-five miles a
day.
Rest Ten Minutes.
Foot troops march fifty minutes and
halt ten minutes every hour. In hot
climates and hot weather the halts
are longer and more frequent, and of
ten night and early morning marches
are substituted for day marches. Night
marches usually are made, however, to
surprise the enemy in attack or to
escape him in retreat. All night
marches rapidly impair the efficiency
of the troops, however.
The order of march for combatant
troops is:
l. Cavalry and horse artillery.
.. Infantry and light or mountain
artillery.
8. Engineers and signal troops.
I. Supply trains.
In the field OF battle the principal
and most important work is done by
the infantry. The role of the infantry,
whether offensive or defensive, is the
role of the entire forces and the uti-
li::ation of it gives the entire battle its
character and decides the final out
come.
The artillery is a close supporting
arm of the infantry and it's duties are
connected. The greater
the difficulties of the infantry the
more powerful must be the artillery
support.
Work of Cavalry.
The cavalry in advance is usually
engaged in reconnaissance. In battle
ii directs its activities to the support
Of other arms and particularly towards
the success of the infantry as
soon as that arm is fully committed to |
action. II must not be given a task, |
