sunrise at the canyon, reused as many
OF her fellow beauties as possible and

As soon as there was light enough a
series OF motion pictures were made of
tne handsome young women with the
Srand canyon as background.
The young women were divided into

OF them explored the Angel trail. and at
O'Clock they were aboard the train

GEN. HARVEY BUSY
REORGAN|z|NG GUARD
Asks Patriotic Support Of City's
Men to Put Guard on Proper
Footing.

Following his formal acceptance of
the commission as head Of the District
of Columbia militia. Brig. Gen. William
e. Harvey today plunged into the work
of reorganization of the guard in con-
formity with the recent order of the
War Department. Until this reorganiza-
ton is perfected. General Harvey said
today, nothing else In the way Of
change will be considered.
1.-THE reorganization must be carried
out. and the sooner 1t is over the bet
ter" he said today. I'VE had a meeting
of the senior officers last night for this
purpose. and there will be another meet
ing tonight. The officers are showing
fine spirit of cooperation. and L be-
lieve that by the time we start for the
Will have things in fine working order
and an organization of which the citi-
gems of the District may well be proud"
Referring to his plans for carrying out
the reorganization, the general said:
Before my appointment was made a
board of officers was convened consist
ing of Colonel Ourand, Lieutenant
Colonel Young, Lieutenant Colonel
stephan, Major Castner, of the United
states army, recently detailed as the
adjutant general. and myself. That
board has taken UP in detail the records
OF the officers with view to making
the selection solely on the. considera-
tion of efficiency. The last three annual
inspection reports have been taken up,
examined, and carefully analyzed. II
there Is no place open to them in their
present rank, they will be given a COM
mission in the highest rank that is open
to them.
"A considerable number of the officers
have already expressed their Willingness
to accept demotion II 1t is their part to
take It. In this regard the spirit dis

course, hard for a man who has held
rank to accept a reduction, but the Of
hcers have been made to understand
that the acceptance of commission at
Of the reorganization Is not to be con-
stdered as a reflection on the officer.
Indeed, the acceptance of a commission
| In a lower grade may be taken as an
| indication of the soldierly qualities of
the man-to accept what comes to him
| In military way without question and
without comment.
The maintenance of the National
Guard, which is a purely volunteer or
ganiation, is dependent in large measure
upon the support which 1t receives from
| the community. In some places the
| Guard Is supported with great enthus-
iasm and the efficiency Of the organiza-
ton Is looked upon as matter of civic
pride. Many of the business people OF
washington have taken this public
spirited view of National Guard work
If a man applies for leave to attend
camp, most of the business men oi
| Washington should let him off If 1t is
\ a possible thing to do.
"If we get from the business people
| of Washington the sort of support that
| the trade bodies have recommended
gwen with willingness and enthusiasm
| with a feeling that by encouraging
young men to enlist, and by giving then
| credit for such service they are doinl
a public duty. we will certainly have ar
organization which 1t will be a badge
| of honor to belong to-"

Clears Skin-Stops
All Blood Troubles
Goes Right Down to Where
the Germs Start
From.

The action Of S. s. s., the famous blood
purifier, is notable In the skin. 1t is but
natural that blood impurities should seek
an outlet. Water, gas, oil and nearly all
the active products Of nature seek the sur
face. 1t seems to be a cosmic law. Even
our thoughts will undertake to find express
sion. And so whatever we take into our
system will eventually come out changed In
form, converted often into some other sub
stance, but constituting always either
waste or tAat which has served Its useful
purpose and must be eliminated. And the
skin is the principal avenue for escape of
certain acids or poisons. If the skin and
blood be healthy these wastes pass on as
Iyapor or perspiration. But impure blood
loads the skin with eczema, pimples, acne,
rheumatism, rash, fever blisters, blood ris-
Iings and other erupdons. And s. s. s. has
been found the very best, safest and most
effective remedy to purify the blood and
thus restore the skin to clear and attractive
health. Get a bottle today Of any drug
gist, but be emphatic. Do not allow any
one to hand you a substitute. Wrapped
around the bottle is an interesting circular
that tells you how to obtain skillful advice
free on any subject concerning the blood.

GIVES LIFE TO LEPERS
New York Nun Gives Up World to
Care for Outcasts.

New York, July 14.-Having ex-
changed her last farewells with her
mother and friends, Sister Mary Prax-
cdes departed Tuesday to pass the re-
mainder of her existence in comfort
ing spiritually. and nursing those I'M
happy beings condemned to a living
death-the lepers in the colony of
Molokai, Hawaiian Islands.
In the world, Sister Mary Praxedes
was Miss Mary Lynch, daughter of
Mrs Matthew Lynch of Newark, N J..
She is a sister of the third order of
ST. Francis: she qualified as a trained
nurse and then took perpetual vows at
the Mother house of the order, SYRIA
cuSe, n. Y Other nuns of the order,
which has four converts in the Ha-
waiian Islands, will accompany Sister
Mary Praxedes.
Like her, they have consecrated
their lives to mitigating the lot of the
lepers segregated in the colonies which
the United States government main
tains al Molokai. Sister Marv Prax-
edes is a graduate of st. James pa
rochial school, Newark.
The rector of the church is the
venerable Monsignor Patrick Cody.
He founded ST. James hospital where
the Franciscan sisters are nurses. The
pious inspiration she derived from
these sisters led Sister Mary Praxedes
to her sacrifice.

AN ANCIENT STUMP.
Wooden Leg Used at Hip This Week

The wooden leg that Lyman White
uses in the character of Chris Hay
in Mrs. Wigs of the Cabbage Patch, -
at the Hip theater. was found in the
Santa Fe waiting room in 1898. The
railway sold it at public auction and
for the past II years it has been in a
local second hand store.
1t was the only wooden limb that
White could find for his part and the
worst of it is that it doesn't fit him in
the slightest. AS a result, he has to

every time he comes on the stage.
