Says Won1an'S Beauty
Depends Upon Health

Regulation of Organs
of Elimination.

Skin foods and face creams and
powders cannot make a woman beau
t!ful, because beauty lies deeper than
that--it depends on health. In most
cases the basis of health and the
cause of sickness can be traced to the
action of the bowels.
The headache, the lassitude, the SAL
low skin, and the lusterless eyes are
usually caused by constipation. An
ideal remedy for women, and one that
is especially suited to their delicate
organisms, is found in DR.. Caldwells

Washington, D. C.
.SbcciaL to the Telegraph

Philadelphia, Pa, March %. The
patriotic women of the United States
are preparing for a huge military
camp to be conducted outside of
Washington, ID. c., which will be run
exclusively for women. 1t will be
called the National Service School.
Plans were announced recently at q
conference of the Philadelphia
branch of the woman's section of the
Navy League, held at the United States
Naval Home.
More than 10000 women have
been recruited for the Philadelphia
branch, which was established by
Mrs. Frederick Rounsville Payne last
December. The various committees
appointed by Mrs. Payne to assist her
were organized from patriotic SO
cieties, stores. hospitals and shops.
Leaders of the committees and spe-
cial delegates attended the meeting,
which filled the assembly room of the
Naval Home.
Alexander Van Rensselaer,, chair
man of the Pennsylvania division of
the Navy League, outlined the pro-
posed activities of the naval reserve
of that organization, and explained to
the members how they could be of
practical service in the proposed
camp. Mrs. Van Rensselaer, was ap-
pointed the governor of the Pennsyl-
Vanla DIVISION OF the women Sectlon
of the Navy League. The plains of
the summer camp for women were
outlined by Mrs. Vylla Poe Wilson,
organizing secretary of the woman's s
section. Her paper reads in part:
Senator Francis Newlands. of Ne
Vada, has donated ten acres of land
between the Columbia Country Club
and the Chevy Chase Club, where the
womans section of the Navy League
will conduct a national service school
in the month of May. The classes
are to be given during the morning
hours. The afternoon sessions will be
devoted to conference meetings and
lectures by experts on questions of
national defense, food conservation,
American history and the American
ization of the foreign born.
The main object of the school is
to give the opportunity to American
women to acquire a special training
and to be of national service in the
event of war. The National Service
School is to be open. to all native
born women over s years of age who
intend to become members of the wo-
mems section of the Navy League. No
student will be permitted to enroll
at the camp who does not present a
certificate from her physician that she
is physically able. The courses are
two weeks long and no student Will
be enrolled for less than that period.

CITY AND STATE OFFICIALS PROBE
 EPIDEMIC HERE
Examiners Put O. K. Upon Beaver Brook Dairy 9th
 CT Cities Have Illness.

City and state authorities today be- gan an investigation having for its oh. ject the discovery of a means of fight ing the epidemic of glandular diseas.. in Bridgeport. It became known this morning that a widespread a,ilrnent among cows is the source of much illness in this city, New Haven. SheI- ton and Boston.
 Garget, an inflammation of the ud- ders, is blamed for the germs that have got into the milk supply of many places in this state as well as of Mas sachusetts. Tubercular affections are also suspected.
 Because of the prevalence of ill., nesses believed to have resulted from consumption of milk and two deaths Drs- F. L. Day and E. G. McGovern called the attention of the board of health to the symptoms. It was learn ed that several had been i'll, who had consumed milk from the Beaver Brook Dairy. This concern today 1n- vited state officials, city health author | ities and local physicians today to i make examination of it's cattle and dairy in the hope of running down the cause of the suspected infection Ac- cording1y, Dr. R. D. Martin, veterin- arian, and Dr. A. c. Knapp, city vet erinarian, and the New Haven veter- marian went to the farm today for the purpose of conducting an examina- ton. They gave the farm clean bill of health and found nothing the mat ! ter with the cattle or the sanitary ar rangem ents. Further search will be made among the many farmers who supply some of the larger dairies. Samples of milk taken from various
 dairies have been sent to the state bacterio1ogist for examination. Health Inspector c. H. Dunbar said today that if milk is causing infection, much of it may be due to the insanttary condi- ton of restaurants and markets Health Officer E. A. Mcclellan said there is no means whereby private families may guard against the re- ported disease absolutely, but that sterilization would help

WIENER DENIES ATTEMPTING TO
 EVADE JUSTICE Policeman's Blunder Proves Expensive to City, County
 and State. DRIVER REPORTED
 CASE TO NYQUIST While Long Search is Made For Motorist, Bluecoat
 Knows All.

Because Policeman Charles O. Ny quist failed to take the name and ad- dress of Max Wiener of 31 Market street, Springfield, after the latter in his automobile had struck and killed Charles w. Hall of Pembroke street late Saturday night, June 3, serious complications have arisen. An inno- cent person was taken into custody. the city has been put to considerable expense, Wiener has been accused of running away from the scene. Had it not been for the voluntary act of Wiener himself in reporting the oc- currence to State Highway Commis- sioner Williams of Massachusetts, his identity might never have been known.
 It was raining and the streets were slippery on the night of June 3. Near midnight, Wiener, his brother Abra- ham, the latter's little daughter, Rachel, David Rood, David Miller and Samuel Baskin, were passing through Bridgeport. Near Hough avenue. Hall. who is a brother of Dog Warden Charles Hall of Seaview avenue, crossed Stratford avenue in front of the car. Wiener claims he sounded his horn and turned the car to pass back of Hall. He says Hall was stag gering about the street in a zigzag fashion and that as the car was pass ing at a six mile an hour speed, Hall fell backwards striking his head on the running board of the car. He suffered a frctured skull nd died in St. Vincent's hospital where he was taken after treatment at the emer- gency hospital. z
 Would you say Hall had been drinking?' Coroner Phelan asked Wiener today.
 He was drunk" replied Wiener.
 Would it surprise you to know that reputable witnesseS have testified that Hall was not a drinking man ?'' asked the coroner.
 ''No; nothing like that would sur- prise me- replied Wiener but when we found him he had two bottles of beer in his pockets. He might have been carrying it to someone else.''
 From the testimony before Coroner John J. Phe1an today it appears that Wiener, instead of running away, did everything possible ior Hall. He tel ephoned for an ambulance, but his brother, Abraham Wiener, foresta11ed him by stopping a jitney car and hav- ing the injured man driven to the em- ergency hospital Wiener then went with Robert Russell of 30 California street, one of the witnesses of the oc- currence, to Stratford avenue and East

Washington, June 24.-Secretary Lansing and Secretary Baker went to the White House at 10 o'clock this morning for a conference with the President. Both said as they left their offices that there had been no new reports from General Pershing and that the policy of the government was unchanged.
 On returning to his office Secretary Lansing, for the first time since he became secretary of state, cancelled his morning engagement with the newspa pernen. He sent word by his private secretary that there was nOth- ing he could discuss at this time.
 Secretary Lansing emerged from the White House about 10 minutes after Secretary Baker. He turned to news papermen and said, q cannot say a word"
 Secretary Baker, in reply to an in- quiry as to whether the United States had requested the release of the American prisoners captured at Car rizaI and taken to Chihuahua, said:
 'fI cannot discuss that subject now"
 Secretary Baker said after the con- ference that no immediate change in the Mexican policy was contemplated by the United States and that no new military orders were planned.

National Guard of
 Connecticut Now
 Is Under Canvas

Camp Ho1comb, Mantle, Conn, June 24-The Connecticut National PGuard ordered to mobolize under the Presidents call, except the field ar Itillery, is under canvas on the state grounds here. The first infantry and the first train of the second in fantry arrived from New Haven at t1:2O this afternoon. The second sec tion of tho latter command came in 8 little later.
 Upon arrival both regiments were detrained at the station and each company moved away without delay or fuss. The Torrington company of the End was already in camp. The signal corps of the first and Troop B, cavalry, with a number of detach- 1nents were on the field having gone into camp last night.
 The Yale batteries will go to East Haven with the other field artillery for drill, the state range being a better place for field drill and maneuvers than the ground. here.
 It will require naarly week, it is understood, to complete the mobiliza- nion of the national guard on the bor- der. This patrol must be maintain ed and strengthened even if occupa- tion of northern Mexico is under taken.
 It is regarded as probable that reg aIIar army regiments now on patrol duty will be promptly relieved by na- hionaI guard regiments as they reach ahe border.
 The regulars, already acc1imated and prepared by months of border work for a vigorous campaign. would be concentrated at the points from which a general advance would be begun.

OFFERS SMALL HOPE FOR
 BOYD'S TROOPS
Fragmentary Reports Con tinue to Indicate Preach
 cry of Gen. Gomez.

San Antonio, June 24-Complete Reorganization of the two troops that were engaged in disastrous combat Wednesday morning at Carrizal with Carranza troops and then practical annihilation of those who were in the fight, was indicated in 8 report from General 'Pershing to General Funston today.
 The stories told were almost iden- tical to those told by other stragglers that reached the transmission lines yesterday.
 The fragamentary reports, showing that Captain Boyd was still negotiat- ing with General Gomez when the at tack was made, gave no indication that the American troopers occupied grounds which could be readily de- tended or that it would afford pro- lection from the raking cross to which they were subjected.
 No further news from General Pershing arrived at General Fun ston's headquarters early today and what befeII the two squadrons of the eleventh cavalry sent as a relief ex- petition to rescue the remnants of Boyd's command still is unknown.

 Up to late last night only seven survivors of the Carrizal battle had re- turned to their base in General Per shing's column and they brought no definite news of the others fate.
 Secretary Baker had issued orders urging extreme haste and final ac- tion was assured by Congress today to allow President Wilson to draft inm ediately for service either in or out of the United States all national guardsmen who subscribe to the new oath. The Hay resolution contain ing this authorization adopted by the House yesterday, was before the Sem ate today, with virtual assurance that it would be approved.
 President Wilson still awaited a final report from General Pershing on the CarrizaI clash ard army officers said it might be another day or two before this arrived.

STIRRING SCENES MARK DEPARTURE
 OF STATE mILITIA
Second Regiment is Els corted by Other Mill tary Organizations as it Marches to New Haven Depot to Entrain E for Mantle, on First Leg of Its Trip to Mexican Border.

New Haven. June 24.-The Second regiment went to the concentration base at Mantle today as the first step towards moving to the Mexican border for duty. The headquarters staff and the local companies left amid great enthusiasm although underneath there was the serious vein, the tears of those left behind and the anxiety over what might be in store for the soldier boys.
 The second regiment band, under Leader FichteI1, played it's liveliest airs and flags were flowing from windows everywhere and on motor vehicles and the windows of buildings along the line of march to the entrain point were filled with spectators but never theleSs the occasion was not that of holiday merrymaking.
 Before the regiment assembled for the street march there was singing by groups, lhandshaking and more cheer ing. A mother shed tears as she kiss ed her son before he fell into his place in the ranks and there were many lit tie incidents which touched the heart of those who witnessed them. As a general thing. the spectators tried to keep the gathering in good spirits.
 The regiment on it's march from the armory to the entraining place in Brewery street was escorted by the Second company of Governors Foot guards under Major Kennedy, the lo- cal division of the naval militia and the Yale batteries under Major Dan ford, U. $. A., commanding.
 Troop A, Captain Wolf with about 100 men, left the Orange street arm ory to ride to Mantle
