DISAPPROyE ARMY
PLAN Of PRESIDENT
Chairman Hay of House Military
Committee Declares Bill Lost
LEADERS PLANS UNALTERED
Announcement of Hays Attitude Was
No Surprise to Congress-He
Favors Use of National
Guard

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE first
definite indication of what trou-
bled legislative sea the administra-
tion's plans for strengthening the
army have been launched upon came
Tuesday when Chairman Hay Of the
house military committee told Pres
ident Wilson he disapproves of the
fundamental suggestion of the pro-
gramme, the organization of con-
tinental army of 100000 federal
volunteers.
The presidents reception of this
expression was not disclosed. Secre-
tary of the Navy Garrison indicated,
however, that the attitude of Repre-
sentative Hay before whose COM
mittee hearings on the army bill
were resumed today, would not al
ter the war departments insistence
upon its plan, in substance at least.
The announcement of Represen-
tative Hay was not a surprise to
war department officials, although
he recently drew tentative bill
including the continental army
scheme for committee consideration
after conferences with the president
and Secretary Garrison before con-
gress assembled.

tion that American manufacturers
supply their product to Canadian

DEVICES OF THE BODY.
Tho Cough, sneeze and Sigh AZ,
Measures of Self Protection.

One of the most interesting fact
about the human body is its powcg
of self preservation-its power oI
evading or overcoming the thou
sand and one conditions which, un-
less corrected, would be injurious
or destructive.
Among the most common OF
these acts of self preservation are
the cough, the sneeze and the sigh.
Every one is familiar with these
acts, yet few people ever ask them
selves the cause, and fewer still
could explain them.
One of the simplest of the body's
devices for self protection is the
cough. The cough IS merely blast
of air propelled from the lungs n
such q manner as 10 forcibly O.
