RUSH TO FIGHT
UNDER COLONEL
Hundreds Apply For Places in
Roosevelt's Military
Division

New York, June 29.-Hundreds of
messages, by telegraph and some by
telephone, greeted Colonel Roosevelt
when he motored into the city from
oyster Bay yesterday. The messages
almost without exception contained re-
quests to be allowed to join the di-
vision of troops which it is reported,
and not denied, that the Colonel is
going to offer the government for serv-
ice in Mexico. These requests came
from men of all ages and in nearly
ex-regular and guard officers, ex-pri-
vate soldiers. men who have had the
greatest amount of experience and
those who cheerfully admitted that
they had not. all were eager to ioin
the rush of recruits III the four T. r.
brigades.
In addition to single applications,
organizations are volunteering in great
numbers. The majority of these are
from organized clubs of horsemen,
who wished to go in the cavalry bri-
gades Also II is said. there have
been a number of applicants for hos
pital and for engineering and signal
corps service.
Much Enthusiasm i'm Evidence
General Wood denied that he was
aware of the plan to raise this volun-
teer division, as did several other
regular officers consulted Great en-
thusiasm was expressed by military
officials, however, for the plan as out
lined 1t was declared that the pre-
ponderance of cavalry would make it
ideal for work in Mexico, while pre-.
serving the hitting power with the in
fantry and artillery units Said one
officer himself experienced in Mexican
campaigning:

Mined and I for one believe that tb q

of anywhere from 25 to 100 men.
Should war break out. these men will
be the nucleus for mobilization of the
division. The Colone! will do nothing
more on the organizatlon until there is
a call for volunteers
1t Is believed there will be no him
drance placed in Roosevelt's way to
prevent his going to Mexico or any-
where else that will take him from the
political campaign now starting. 1t
was asserted that it would take a
special act of Congress to have the
Colonel appointed a a.major general, no
matter how many men he could offer

The Colonel himself is silent on, all
topics, including war and politics.

HOW MINES ARE LAID AND FIRED

One of the ways in which the bel
ligerent nations lay mines in harbors
and other waters is described in the
July Popular Mechanics Magazine. On
one deck of a vessel are several narrow
tracks supporting the mines, each of
which is mounted on wheels. Each
mine is in turn rolled to the stern, and.
by means of special launching tracks.
is dropped into the sea without fitting.
a. mine of the character described is
made up of three parts: a spherical
floating chamber containing the ex-
plosive. etc, an anchor chamber which
is connected with the former by a
cable and a weighted sounding line.
The length of the latter is equal to the
depth at which the mine is to float.
When the end of the sounding line
strikes bottom the lessening of its pull
throws a pawl which prevents the
drum in the anchor chamber from
paying out more cable to the sphere.
Consequently the latter is drawn under
water to a depth equal to the length
of the sounding line, as the anchor
chamber settles to the bottom. A

Mechanics Magazine depicts graphic

DRUGLESS HEALING
Tells How Nerve Insulation Quickly Stops And Aays
The Inflammation. Even rheumatism, Sciaica And
Neurtis Yield Marvellous Discovery

The nerves of your body are like
electric wires. They carry the nerve
energy Cneuro-electricity) which is
generated in the brain, to all the
cells and tissues. The nerve sheaths
are insulated to resist a current of
about $4,000 of a volt as has been
proven with the aid OF Lord Kelvins
galvanometer. an instrument so SEN
sitive and accurate that for the first
time it is now possible to measure
the strength of nerve currents.
It has been found that wherever
acute inflammation occurs the in
sulation of the nerves is broken
down, making it difficult. and often
impossible, for nature to heal the
surrounding cells. Germs cannot
live in healthy tissue; it is only
through damaged cells that they
thrive and spread. Obviously there
fore, the right way to successfully
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1916-06-29

treat inflammatory disease is to
quickly repair the damaged insula-
ton and enable nature to restore the
diseased tissue to a healthy condi-
ton. Ion-o-lex Unguent does this.
Ion-o-leX Unguent is not a drug.
1t does not contain opiates or mar
cotics. Its action is entirely me-
chanical. Applied externally, it
penetrates the tissues and surrounds
the injured nerve sheaths with an
insulating bath. Then the inflam-
nation subsidies and nature quickly
repairs the nerve lesion-you are
we'll. Don't suffer another minute,
just go to H. c. Kennedy and get a
large jar of Ion-o-lex Unguent, ii
costs little, use as directed and If
you cannot say that il is the greatest
means ever devised for conquering
inflammation wherever it exists, your
money will be cheerfully returned
without question.

produces no weakening effects. In fact
there are those who have tried IL who
say IL almost seemed that they gained
in strength with every pound OF exec IS
fat they lost.
The use of oil of korein is intended
to eliminate the need of weakening
purgatives. sweating processes. dang
erous drugs, starvation diets or the
various forms Of violent exercises which.
so many use in a vain effort to reduce
flesh Instead, oil of korein operates
in natural and wholly harmless way
to gently reduce the excessive accu-
mutations of fat wherever they exist
on your body while the oxygen you are
breathing into your system from the
pure out door air not only helps the
action of the Korein but is helpful in
preventing return of the unnatural
fat.

CLOCK PLAYS RECORDS
INSTEAD OF CHIMES

A phonograph clock which plays
one or more selections on q phono-
graphic attachment at any designated
hour, or hours, has been constructed
by an Illinois jeweler. The July Popu-
lar Mechanics Magazine describes the
mechanism of the apparatus. which is
operated by a spring motor; the rec
ords If desired, can be played indepen-
dent of the clock. At the back of the
timepiece, attached to the center pin
ion. working in unison with the min
ute hand. is q series of four switches
which can be so set that a different
record will be played every Is, 80 or
so minutes; or the clock can be set
to play only once in IL hours. When
a large photograph is used the whole
mechanism stands about as high as

Mexican authorities coudl not agree
on the boundary line OF Texas. The
Mexicans were just as determined in
that latter as when Texas first es-
tablished its independence. Could
they have brought themselves to ac-
cept the line of the Rio Grande. they,
probably might have saved some 600,-
900 square miles of Mexican territory

Santa Anna of violation of the terms

TO TAKE OFF FLESH
AND REDUCE WEIGHT
Eat Plenty of Wholesome Food But Breathe Deeply and Try
Little Oil of Korein With Meals

Some people seem to be able to eat
whatever they please without it's in
creasing their weight to- any degree,
while on the other hand other folks. in
clined 10 stoutness. try to eat lightly
OF the socalled fleshmaking foods but
keep gaining weight all the time. Such
a condition is both unnatural and
dangerous but can often be quickly
overcome by practicing deep breathing
in the open air. The blood of the aver
age overstout person seemingly fails
to accept enough oxygen to consume
the excessive fatty material in the
food. But frequent open air deep
breathing forces additional oxygen into
the system, largely overcoming this
defect and preventing further increase
in weight Then IL this deep breathing
plan is accompanied by the use of a
little oil of korein. taking a few drops
in a capsule with each meal and again

sible TO greatly reduce the weight even
in a very few days.
The best feature of this reducing
method is that it is absolutely safe and

BRITISH STARTLED

LONDON, Dee. 22.-The most absolute and startling surprise was the result of the publication of the nfoma
 ton that the President of the United States has sent notes
 to the belHgeren powers asking them to come to some ar rangement by which they might find some common ground for peace discussion The newspapers are all up holding Lloyd George in his resolve to carry the war to successful conclusion and many of them speak strong ly and in an mfriendy strain of the Wilson effort The Liverpool Post calls the Wilson note il-timed and ill.,
 judged" The London Daily News says the British peo pie must try appreciate what spirit the note was sent in and to be cautious The Chronicle declares that no American communication for generation has caused much pain On the whole the note hardly be said to have been well received here. In private circles the American President is being attacked savagey Smith,
 member of parliament on the Liberal side has pleaded for consideration of the general peace proposal but he received no support whatever from any other members of the house. In answer to his plea Bonar Law promptly minded him that all the the blood and treasure spent could be permitted to be spent in vain He cited the Belgian atrocities the Armenian masacres and other cir cumstances and he said that until the nations have been vindicated no enduring peace would be possible.
