marched out on the parade ground or
drill ground and given Is minutes
setting up exercise. At the conclu-
sion of Is minutes they are dismissed
and allowed from five to ten minutes
to make up their beds, or bunks as
they are called in the army. Next
we have mess call for breakfast. Af-
ter breakfast general cleaning up
quarters, then inspection OF quarters
by the company commander. At
about 8 a. m. sick call is sounded,
upon which every soldier, sick or dis
abled, is expected to report to the
non-commissioned officer in charge
of quarters and with him to report
for medical treatment and inspection
at the post hospital. Next we have
one hours drill, and after drill every
soldier not detailed for guard, kitch-
en-, police or fatigue duty is off duty
for the rest ofthe day. Guard mount
is generally between 10 and II a. m.
So you see the soldiers as a general
rule practically have only one-half
days work. On Saturdays inspection
takes the place of drill, and once a
month the soldiers have to stand a
medical inspection, and that almost
becomes a necessity where so many
men are congregated at all times.
In addition to the above mentioned
duties, the non-commissioned Of
ficers, such as corporals and SER
gents, have to attend school twice a
week, where they are taught every
thing pertaining to modern military
warfare, so as to make them more
efficient in their various duties.

GOOD WAY TO DO BUSINESS.
McNair Bros. Sell Reliable Remedy a
Half Price With Guarantee.

When one can buy gold dollars for
fifty cents, it is a good time to pur-
chase.
In ordering a soc bottle of DR..
Howard's celebrated remedy for con-
stipation and dyspepsia at 25 cents
McNair Bros. are giving one of the
greatest trade chances ever offered
to the people of Ashland.
Even though offered at half price
for Introductory purposes the remedy
is sold under a guarantee to cure or
the money will be refunded.
If food does not digest we'll, if
there is gas or pain in the stomach,
if the tongue is coated and the breath
bad, if there is constipation and
straining, DR.. Howard's remedy
should help you. If it does not, you
have druggist McNair Bros personal
guarantee to return your money.
DR.. Howards remedy gives quick
relief in constipation, dyspepsia and
all liver troubles.
These are strong statements, but
McNair Bros. are giving their custom
ers a chance to prove their truth at
just half the regular price-sixty
doses for 25 cents. If they are not
found true, all you have to do is to
ask for your money.

4 Plea for the ARMY.

Editor Tidings: Kindly insert the
following in your valuable paper,
having had the pleasure of the hos
Ditality of your charming city for the
past month:
l cannot fail to notice the prevail
ing opinion among your young men
Of this city in regard to the United
States army. In my opinion the
army and navy are greatly misrepre-
scented by class OF men (neyer-do-
Wells) who are not fit physically and
otherwise to Join the army. Having
been connected with the United
States army for period of nine
years (three enlistmentsl and taken
part in the China relief expedition

the Philippine instruction, 1901 to
1908, / take great pleasure in stat
ing in defense of the U. s. army that
IN my humble opinion there is no
better school for a young man than
the army. l have seen men OF all
descriptions Join the army-men who

the situation in civil life-and have
seen thoSa same men wears later a Z

the world and its battles, in every
respect better men. and. what's more,
they all made good. In fact. the
army made men OF them.
Here is the general routine OF the
day in the regular army, as l have
observed it during my nine years
service: First cali. called reveille

to defend your flag, the red, white
and blue. And what do the colors
say?
Red says, Be brave.
White says, Be pure.
Blue says, Be true.
Anyone who knows this will so out
into life with the true meaning of
the flag. To him the flag and the
service do not stand for idleness and
pastime; they illustrate the virtues,
courage, purity and fidelity. There
fore let us all honor and respect the
man who, by enlisting in the army,
tries to serve his country and his
flag. / am,

MINDS POWER WILL
KEEP THE BODY YOUNG
Men Have Ability, If They Wish, to
Defer Old Age.

In the October Woman's Home Com
panion. Ralph Waldo Urine writes an
article entitled, when Is Youth-What
After YOUTH" The principal point which
he brings out Is the power of the mind
TO keep the body young and vigorous. In
the following extract from his article he
touches on this point, and also indicates
the divisions between youth, middle age
and old age:
THAT we have II in our power to de-
termine our physical and bodily condi-
tlons to a far greater extent than we do
is an undcnable fact. That VIC have II
in our power to determine and to dictate
the conditions of old age to marvel
our degree is also an undeniable fact-if
we are sufficiently keen and sufficiently
awake 10 begin early enough.
"If any arbitrary divisions of the va
rious periods of life were allowable ]
should make the enumeration as follows:
Youth, barring the period of babyhood,
to As; middle age. 45 to 50; approaching
age, so to IS; old age, rs to 95 and 100.
THAT great army Of people who age
long before their time, that likewise
great army of both men and women who
along about middle age, say from 45 to
co. break. and. as we say. all of a sud
den go to pieces, and many die, just at
the period when they should be In the
prime of life, In the full vigor of man
hood and womanhood and of greatest
value 10 themselves. to their families
and to the world, is something that is
contrary to nature, and Is one of the
pitiablc conditions of our time. great
et knowledge, a little foresight, a little
care in time could prevent this in the
great majority of cases, in 30 cases out
of every 100, without question"

MUCH ILLNESS DUE
TO ERRORS IN DIET
Death Often Comes From Feasting as
Well as Fasting.

The militant suffragist campaign of
self-starvation suggests to DIR. A. E.
Gibson that death comes as often from
feasting as from fasting. In a paper In
Health Culture he sets out that We eat
wrongly and not infrequently starve in
the midst of plenty. We make our meals
of incongruous food and then we eat
prodigiousy of the Unbalanced food mix
ture, causing auto-intoXication or starva-
tion.
The food decomposes instead of digest
ing and the nerves are sustained on
poisoned blood. Certain foods, no mat
ter how good in themselves. when mixed
In the same meal ferment and generate
toxic acids which result in catarrh
asthma, rheumatism, etc, until the whole
inward tract is devitalized. and the or
cans so deranged that the fluids of nutr-
ton are impaired.
Most diseases, 1t is held, are due to
errors of diet, and n too early old age
is due TO the struggle of the system to
hold its own against deVitallzed and
anemic tissue caused by wrong eating
The promiscuous eater may triumph for
time, but he is losing headway and
sooner or later dizziness. acidity of the
stomach and general discomfort come as
warnings. Then he takes to medicines
which are mere whip to the nerves,
exhausting the reserve forces. Medicines.
the doctor holds, are not source of
vitality any more than a whip is 10 a
horse.
Nothing can help us but food. so com
hined as not to give rise TO fermentation
Mere absence OF meat does not change
the chemical principles of food. Any diet
that admits acids, starch. sweets, fruits,
salads, milk and pastry at the same meal
unde rmines the constitution. Such unwise
mixture in a vegetarian diet has caused
more indigestion and catarTh than any
other violation OF dtetetic principles
1t is not a question of purity Of food
but the bringing together of foodstufrs
that defy physiological chemistry. The
remedy Is proper combination of foods
And then comes the individual tempera-
ment and the atmosphere OF ones mental
life. Food that Is good for one is bad
for another. For each individual Is a
world 10 himself and the attitude OF
mind lies back OF the physiological ma
ture.
So Il is necessary that each Individual
learn by close observation his relation TO
food IN his daily routine existence, ana

SOME PLANTS WALK WHEN
THEY DESIRE A NEW HOME
Currant Bushes Bend Over and Send
Roots From Branches.

Some plants travel by actual walking
Currant bushes. wishing to multiply, do
not wait for such a slow process as drop
ping their seeds to the ground and let
ting them, little by little, sprout and de-
velop into new bushes. They are much
too impatient for that; they know
quicker way. They walk, and as they
walk they develop new plants The mother
bush selects a good healthy branch; she
reaches out and carefully bends down to
the earth. and down into the ground she
sends little roots from the branch. The
roots collect the nourishment, send 1t up
into the branch, and, 10, the branch itself
is soon a fiourishing currant bush, ready
to take another step in its walk by send
ing out branch of its own to grow root
let's and develop into still another bush.
In the same way, white clover, straw
berries, sweet potatoes. Wandering Jew
and many forms of grasses walk by
planting others like themselves Some
of them send out runners" which trail
along the ground like the common ver-
bena, trailing arbutus. numerous grasses
and trailing lycopodiums, and each new
plant or Offshoot, as soon as it begins to
grow, sends out its own runners Thus
new plants are continually made.
Skilled gardeners and farmers thor
oughly understand how to cover certain
parts of potato vines, for instance. with
layers of soil, and later, by cutting the
vine near where II has taken root, to
multiply the number of plants.
Some plants have suckers
that spring from their parent stem un-
foreground and later appear as separate
plants and eventually the connecting link
or thread may be enirely destroyed. 1t
is In this way-"by root" as we say
that raspberry bushes increase or spread
out
Many grasses spread in the same way
and in all directions: some have joints
from which upright stems arise. and
which send down into the earth roots of
their own, lnterlacing and binding the
soil and thus spreading very rapidly.
such grasses grow several feet in few
months. The quack grass is a typical
example of a fast walker and for this
season is greatly feared by farmers.
