NIOSL OF InCin nav nCCIuIISs
Some of the members of this troop
have had experience in militia organi
cations, and some have had the rudi-
ments of military education in pre-
paratory schools or in colleges, but the
majority are absolutely raw recruits
who have to be told how to stand up
straight, how to make right face,
how to salute, not to say how to exc
cute the manual of arms, find and keep
their places in drill formation, aim a
rifle, mount horse and ride at a
walk without falling off,
Some half dozen of this troop are
beyond the age of active military serv-
ice, but these men figure out that in
case of war they would have smat-
tering of military knowledge sufficient
to make them available for use, per
haps in training the recruits, perhaps
in duty at the war department. or in
one of the military arms of the serv-
ice.
Most of the men are between the
ages of twenty-five and thirty-dve and
it is planned that when their course of
two years shall be completed they will
take examinations for commissioned
officers to be called upon BIZ the war
department in case of neceks ity Up
to the present time it is interesting
and significant to note that this troop
has not had single purely social
meeting. The men are all hard-work
ing and busy citizens throughout the
week"

gation both the police nd coroner are inclined to the belief that both were murdered.
 The deaf mute who was known as Dummy England tried in vain today to convey some intelligence to the po- lice but his gesticulations and actions could not be understood. The police believe, however, that he was in the house with the dead man and woman 24 hours before the crime was reported to the authorities and that he arrang- ed the bodies with their hands cross ed over their breasts. Officials se- riously doubt the theory however, that he had anything to do with the actual commission. of the crime. The Sag CTS family was prominent in this To- cality.

His story of the visit to the Grand Canyon was listened to with much interest, es- pecially as 1t was illustrated with no less than 50 beautiful views of all points of interest.
 Incidents were told relative to the many attractions of the two great ex-4 positions which he visited. The trip to Yosemite was among the chief of the doctors pleasures, and his narra- tion of it's details was of much inter- est. Notable in the whole address was the continued evidence of the speak CTS remarkable memory, the height of dozens of canyon elevations, tree meas urements and waterfall drops were at his tongues end, and at all points the doctor never lost sight of his two idle moment hobbies-birds and flowers. He told of two of each, new to him, which 1t was his privilege to see and study, the house finch and water ouzel of California and the giant cactus and yucca OI lu0 AdOJdNS QcSCIL-

 When pr. Jennings left Jewett City the Mems club presented him hand some camera, of which he made good use, and an album filled with a hun dred views contained many which he had taken and were of much interest. He also received another present, which he says is near his heart; it was package bearing these instructions: Not to be opened until out of New England; then take as a dose one each day. He told of the opening and the contents. There were 50 cards from his home friends, each one of which told him things he has not forgotten. but Tuesday night he admitted to his audience that The took them all in one dose.

War unon PainI

Pain is visitor to every home and usually it comes quite unexpectedly But you are prepared for every emer- gency if you keep a small bottle of Sloan's Liniment handy It is the greatest pain killer ever discovered Simply laid on the skin-no rubbing required-it drives the pain away. It is really wonderful
 Mervin H. Soister, Berkeley, Cal, writes: Last Saturday, after tramping around the Panama exposition with wet feet, came home with my neck so stiff that I couldn't turn. I applied Sloan's Liniment freely and went to bed. To my surprise, next morning the stiffness had almost disappeared, four hours after the second application I was as good as new"
