Chain-Drinking.

We all know the chain-smoker who
lights a fresh cigaret from the butt
he Is about to discard.
The particular evil or beer drink
ing is it's tendency to establish the
habit Of in-drinking. The effect
of the first dose OF alcohol Is not gone
before another glass OF beer is con-
sumed. A. result, the confirmed
beer drinker is practically always
alcoholized. This is why the beer
habit is frequently more hard to give
up than the whiskey habit.

Pay Clerk John Q. A. Brett of the
Quartermaster Corps has been appoint
ed q first lieutenant in that corps in
accordance with the provisions of a

son for this unusual recognition of the
services Of Pay Clerk Brett is shown
in a letter written by former Secretary

medical officers ordered him into the

to q letter which was sent out several

that an Improvement was being shown

He said that the letters had been

tiona. In his letter to the employees
warning them. he said:
Some Of the forms used in writing
letters are atrocious: erasures are nu-

the relief Of a physical map Of state,

the walls will be sprayed with oil.

the method Our experiments have
shown that this vapor drags down with
1t every lingering dust particle that
may contain a disease germ. After the
germs have been carried to the floor
the oil has a tendency to keep them
there. and If the classrooms are spray

Hereafter dry sweeping will be dis

DISTRICT NATIONAL GUARD CAMP,
| WARREN. Ar1z, September 3.-Com-
pany A, Signal Corps, D. C. N. G.. was
actually ION the border today for the
first time. This morning as many men
as could be spared from camp saddled
their horses and rode to Naco, visited
the camps of the 1st Separate Batta-
lion. D. c. N G., and of the 1st Arizona
Regiment.
The company rode to within forty or
fifty feet of the line. when the COM
mand column left" sung out by Lieut.
Russell NJ. MacI.ennon.' prevented an
Invasion of Mexico" While group of
Mexican soldiers looked on from the
steps of the Mexican customhouse on
the opposite side of the plaza. the COL
umn swung about and rode parallel to
the line for a short distance.
Having made several trips to Naco,
Lieut.. MacLennon commanded the COM
pany on the outbound trip and Lieut.
Landis took charge on the return. The
men walked their horses most of the
way, for the ride was primarily to ex-
ercise the mounts. There were about
fifty men in the column and the trip
was the longest taken by the company
since it's new allotment of horses ar
rived. the distance being fifteen miles.
Lieuts. Lcndis and MacLennon paid
their respects to M>t James Z. walker,
commanding the battalion, and ESS
John Howard of the 22d Infantry. IN
spector-instructor at the camp.
On the return trip the column rode in
single file cross lots" instead of fol-
lowing the main road.
The main topic of conversation in
camp these days is the order of the
Secretary of War disseminating the
granting of discharges of men having
dependent relatives and of students at
colleges. so that they might continue
their studies. A number of men had
made application prior to the receipt of
this order for discharge on the ground
that they have relatives dependent
upon them. 1t is understood that such
applications will be acted upon, but
that. no further applications for like
cause will be received.
The last man in any of the District
militia units to receive his discharge
on this ground was Sergt. William Z.
Smith of the Field Hospital.
