BRITISH VOLUNTEERING.
Strength Of the Regulars Scattered
Over World-Civilians' Response.

Boston Transcript.
Though Great Britain never has al
lowed it's regular army TO decline to
a negligible factor of public defense,
it has not maintained a permanent eS-
tabliShment emitting it to a place
among the military powers of the
first rank. AS compared with France.
Germany, Russia and Austria, Great
Britain has seemed almost Indifferent
to the possibility of being called upon
to lake the field. To be sure, at the
opening Of the present year the British
regular army had an aggregate
strength, all ranks. of not far from
100000. The necessity Ct defending
India and other dependencies and
possessions spread this force over 80
large an area that but little more
than one-half of it was available for
European service. India calls for the
presence of $4,000 British soldiers. in
British pay and $1,000 auxiliaries.
Colonial garrisons. South Africa.
Gibraltar, Malta, etc. find employ
ment for $4,000 British officers and
men, leaving but about $4,000 to be
| stationed in the United Kingdom.
| When Great Britain found It had tc
participate n a European war and
send troops to the continent it must
have made it's first drafts from his
$4,000 plus the army reserve n the
special reserve. which number re-
spectively, $4,000 and $4,000 How
deep an inroad was made into these
reserves the British government is too
wise to publish.
Back of the two reserves stands the
territorial army, intended purely for
home service. of debatable quality, but
surely capable of taking. III forts. bar

arouse much interest. yet the election

much interest and attract much at

November will make that election of
very great Importance. of more i'm
portance than the election Of a few
officers. The voters Of this State
ought to consider and study these
amendments carefully, tor their adop-
tlon means a great deal to the State.
Thus far there seems to be very
llttle opposition to most of the pro-
posed amendments. That one which
seems to be most discussed and op-
posed IS the one relating to revenue

important Of them all. In order that

Trusses Like These Are A Crime
Such Makeshifts Have Forced Thous-
ands Into Risking Dangerous
Operations

Operations
Wearing elastic and spring trusses year
after year are almost sure to shorten
your life.
You can't make them hold, even when
drawn SO tight you can scarcely stand to
keep them on.
They usually let you get worse all the
time that's why every year they are
forcing thousands of people into under
going operation.
They are simply a crime-squeeze the
rupture, often causing strangulaiion dig

against the spinal column at the back
make life miserable for nearly everybody
who wears them.
The Plain Truth Is This
You cant possibly get weH-can't even keep
from getting worse-unless your rupture is con-
stantly held in place. Just as a broken bone
can't knit unless held securely together.
And Just as a bandage or splint is the only way
a broken bone can be held. 50 the right lond
of truss is the only thing in the world that can
keep a rupture from coming out and growing
worse.
You'll feel like a new person from the day
you put on that kind OF truss
But you know as well as We that you II never

Yet its easy enough TO get. And YOU can

and automatically protects you against every
strain so your rupture cant possibly be forced

than Just j truss.
In addition to constant holding it provides
the only way ever discovered for overcoming
the weakness which IS the real cause OF rupture
Just how it does that-entirely automatically

and hundreds OF people whose cases seemed
almost hopeless-is all explained IN the Tree

a denial OF the Cooley

hart to publicly admit
the truth Of Mr.. Cooley's statement
would mean for him TO confess openly
he is guilty Of a felony. for it is a
crime to corrupt a county court and
conviction means the penitentiary.
AS the matter stands upon this
point II is a question OF veracity be-

The republican candidate for coun.

who is involved by sworn evideno,
head over heels in a gross swindle
that was imposed on the county under
his former term in office.
Their candidate for joint senator
has no recommendation other than
that following a pie counter deal
in behalf OF his son-in-law he be-
trayed the forces that had elected him
to office and threw his former po-
