President Takes Measures Against

 Picking. Dec S.-President Yuan Shi Kai is moving all military stores as ra pidly as possible away from cen- ters subject to attack by the revolu- tionaries. Even before the recent at tempt to capture the Xiangnan Arsen- al at Shanghai much of the machin- cry from that arsenal had been moved to the Hanyang arsenal at Hankow. Military stores at Shanghai had also been sent to TehchoW, which is locat- ed in the interior the railway con- meeting Shanghai and Peking and about midway between the two points. ,5Pra ctically all the troops now To- cated along the Yangtse Valley and in south China are northern men. For months there has been constant movement of soldiers, arms and am- intuition directed with a view to re- placing any troops in important strat- egical centers whose loyalty to the president was not beyond doubt.

 Hankow is even a more important strategical point, because it is the seat of the only great modern steel works in China and has the largest arsenal Hankow is 500 miles from the mouth of the Yangtse, which is navigable to that point for ocean-going vessels with 8 draft of thirty feet. Many ships sail direct from Hankow every week for Liverpool and other points in Europe. It is the center for tremendous inter- national and river traffic
 Picked Troops at First.
 At present the government has 20, 900 picked troops at Ranking, and cabinet members are confident there Is ffo chance for enemies of the admin istration to produce disaffection there. About the same number of troops is located at Hankow, and at Wuchang and at Hanyang, the two cities ad- joining Hankow, which really forms one great settlement.
 Ho Hal-min and a number of other revolutionists who figured in past tEoubles, are known to have been in Shanghai when the movement was made against the Kiangnan arsenal. These leaders are supposed to have been instrumental in inspiring the trouble, but Chinese papers are alm ost unanimous in charging that Japan ac- tually furnished the sinews for the outbreak. c-.- TT~+-rnn and other ene- mics of Yuan Shi-Kai now in Japan. are charged by the Chinese press with ksying connived with Japanese off, cials in the arrangement of the Shang- hai outbreak.

her secret from her family. The
woman is well educated, we'll read

While many drug users have felt
that the Harrison law has been a
curse, to others it has been an untold
blessing. Records at the city hospi-

A few weeks after the lid was
clamped down on the sale of narcot-
les there came to the Office of the
revenue officials woman who is a
graduate pharmacist, married, mem
ber of an aristocratic family and
strikingly beautiful.
For four years, unknown to her
husband, she had been taking an av-
erage of 20 grains of morphine a
day. She registered as a pharmacist,
but it. was discovered that she was
playing trick and she was given
the option of taking the cure or be-
ing prosecuted. She refused to be
treated, fearing that her secret
would become known and bring dis
grace upon her husband and family.
That night the woman went home
and told her husband that she was
going to visit a sister who lives in a
country town in Missouri. She de-
parted and went to her sisters home,
but instead of remaining there pro-
ceeded into one of the widest Sec
tions of the State, far from human
habitation. She arranged to send
letters for her husband to her sister,
who in turn would post them in her
town. Letters from her husband the
sister enclosed in another envelope
and mailed to the wife.
Then, out where the obtaining Of
any form Of drug was an impossible
ty, the woman who had lied to obtain
it when in the city fought her battle
to a finish. She stayed there until
her craving was gone and then came
home. In April pale, wan crea-
ture, weighing nearly III pounds,
she returned in perfect health, with
ruddy cheeks and weighing 1876
pounds. Her husband marvelled at
the change her stay in the country
had wrought, but never guessed the
truth.
A man who formerly was an assist
ant instructor of chemistry at Cor
nell University, whose brothers have
attained eminence, one of them be-
ing one of the foremost lawyers in
Philadelphia and another a former
member of congress" from Pennsyl-
vania, was cured of the drug habit
by an Incarceration of three months
in the St. Louis Jail, after he had
been found engaging in the drug
traffic in st. Louis.
He was picked up by the police on
Morgan street and confessed that
while he was an addict himself he
also made handsome profit by buy
ing 81 worth of morphine and selling
half of it for 81 to some other unfor-
tunate. He was sentenced to four
months in jail, but released after he
had completed three months of the
term. He emerged cured man and
had gained thirty-two pounds. He
had been arrested under an assumed
name, but after leaving the jail hunt
ed the federal officials, told them his
right name and family connections
and departed for the east to resume
his place in society.

5000, 900 IN SOUTH FOR SERVICE
21.O71,O76 Able-bOdied Men is Total
for Whole Country.

How many able-bodied citizens of
military age have we in the United
States?
The bureau of census, while it is
unable to make any estimate of the
proportion who are able-bodied, es-
Inmates that the total number of male
citizens and prospective citizens
that is, foreign-born persons who
have declared their intention to be-
come citizens-1S to As years of age,
inclusive, is not far from 21,000,000.
This estimate is based on the as
sumption that there has been an in
crease of approximately 10 per cent.
in the population of the country since
the census of 1910. When that CEN
sus was taken the total number of
male citizens and prospective citizens
18 years of age and over but under
46 was 19,1S3,OOO. Of this number,
14,224,O00 were native whites, g.
$4,000 were foreign-born whites
who had become naturalized or had
declared their intention of doing so,
2,053,000 were negroes, and $4,000
were Indians. The number of for
eign-born citizens is partially an es-
innate since the census enumerators
were able to obtain information as
to citizenship from only about seven
eights of the total number of foreign
born males. Native whites thus rep
resent about "a per cent. of the to-
tai, foreign-born whites nearly Is
per cent, negroes nearly 1 1 per cent,
and Indians about three-tenths of 1
per cent.
During the Civil war, when the
population of the country, exclusive
of the seeding States, was less than
one-fourth as great as the present
population of the entire United
States, the total number of men serv-
ing in the federal armies at one time
and another was approximately g.
100000 (due allowance being made
for duplicate enlistments, that is,
cases in which men enlisted more
than once.)
The following table gives, by
States, the total number of males 18
to As years of age enumerated at the
census of 1910. The figures in this
table include approximately 1885,
900 alien whites and $4,000 Chinese,
Japanese and others, together repre-
senting about per cent. of the to
tai, who would be ineligible for mill
tary service. The census bureau has
not compiled the numbers of these
classes of the population, within the
given age limits, who were living in
each State in 1910. Taking the coun-
try as whole, however, the probable
increase in population between 1910
and 1916 will approximately counte1
! balance the number Of alien whites,
Chinese, Japanese, etc., included in
the figures for 1910, so that these
figures may be accepted as roughly
representative of the number of male
citizens and prospective citizens 1S
to As years of age, inclusive, in each
State and in the United States in '16.
The total number by States follows:

One who observe. girls III gradual

made recently in California showed
that about three-fourths of the girIt
who go to college and university are
out Of repair physically.
What is the cause Of all this? The
prevailing theory is that high-heeled
shoes, construction in dress and lscl:
of.anv systematic exercise are respoA-
sible; but the chief reason why girlk
are 50 poorly formed is because pree-
tieally no attention has. been giyea,
to their physical development until

still do not have any. regular pRFsi-
