FREE CLING FOR
 CURE OF TOBACCO
 HABIT OPEN HERE
Pine Bluff Obtains Clinic rHNr-, O. -operation ". H
 v V md Tr p 'r-,o-,


 Through cooperation between the Pine Bluff w. c. T. U. and Dr. [. T. Palmer, free treatment for the cure of the cigarette habit is to be given any and all persons desiring it, at clinic to be maintained and operated at the office of Dr. Palmer, in Pine street, near Barraque.
 The clinic will be opened today and every effort will be made by the members of the w. c. T. U., and other persons interested in the prevention of the spread of the cigarette habit, as we'll as in the cure of present pa tients. to have as many persons as possible take the treatment.
 pr. Palmer stated yesterday that the one requirement is that the pa tient call at Dr. Palmer's office. The treatment will extend over two weeks or whereabouts, although it will not be necessary for the putient to visit the doctor every day.
 The treatment has been thoroughly tested in number of cities, and the freo clinic method has likewise been established for some time in some of the largest cities of the country, With unexpected success, St. Louis in par ticular reporting that the results achieved have been far beyond ex- pectations.
 The clinic has been established at the earnest solicitation of a numbers of teachers in the public schools, be- cause of poor work done by solme ot the schoolboys, this being due, 1t is believed, to the cigarette habit ex- clusively and entirely. Many of these bows have expressed their willingness to take the cure at the local clinic.

as footgear was concerned these men were
practically in the same condition as Washing
tons barefooted soldiers who trod the SHOWS at
Valley Forge on bleeding feet.
Uniforms they had and they had the regu
laton equipment in every detail but the shoes,
and even an utter ignoramus as to military af-
fairs knows that the infantry which is to go
afoot must have Shoes, even if it is to travel
naked and unarmed. Because they had no
shoes the New Mexico infantry could not drill
on that ground. They would get no shoes un-
til they were inspected, examined and mus
tered into the Federal service. They were not
finally mustered in until nearly a month and
a half after they were called for service
This regiment, of course, would have formed
part of the two million men which Mr.. Bryan
maintained could be called out ready for the
field within forty-eight hours. And it is no
exaggeration to assert that this New Mexico

he would have much to say from his own ex-
perience in regard to the new army bill which
uses the militia for basis of the reserve army
Of the United States.
For three years the United States faced
probable Intervention in Mexico, and when the
question as 10 the strength of the American
army was raised the ghost Of the Minute Man
was evoked When the shadow of the Eu-

word Preparedness. the Minute Mans vague

country. There are splendid men in 1t, and
| think many of them are patriotic and many
of them are doing the very best they can. In
my forty years of service in the army it has
always been source of wonder to me why
in the world any one is willing to 60 into 1t
at all 1t is a rope of sand. 1t IS not COM

are not the men who ought to 90 or who can
afford to 90 to war, and, therefore, since 1t
is composed of the wrong material, 1t IS bound
to break down under proof"
When this New Mexico regiment had been
a month in camp, theoretically ready to march
on Chepultepec, the regular army surgeons
began putting them through the physical eX-
animation They found two soldiers with
glass eyes and one man with an artificial leg
among the militamen.

the least efficient that would make up the bri-

Right here | would like to say that the spirit
of the men and officers of the New Mexico
regiment was admirable. Their sorry showing

MINUTE MEN MAKE. AN EXCEL
LENT GARRISON FOR A
FOOLS PARA Disc.

1t is the superstition Of the Minute Man that
may keep us i'm a fools paradise until we arc
forced to pay the cost Of maintaining such an
existence. 1t will be high not only in money
but in blood.
The President Of the United States called
for Minute Men Immediately after Villa. the
bandit rode over a detachment Of American
troops. invaded American soil and shot down
American women and children. Let us consider
the response
The point at which the United States was
invaded is Columbus, in the State Of New Mex
leo. The state of New Mexico. was asked to
provide regiment of infantry to help punish
the invader and to aid the United States army
i'm protecting the border against further raids.
The Governor of New Mexico ordered regi-
ment of state militia, theoretically fully
equipped and fully trained, to proceed to the
town Of Columbus.
I arrived at Columbus, ~ NJ. several weeks
after this supposedly prepared regiment of in
fantry had been ordered into camp there. II
had not yet arrived in full. became aware
Of that when | boarded a train at FL Paso and
found myself in a car filled with a motley
crowd of civilians in charge of a lieutenant
and a sergeant of militia.
One of these men, recruits for the New Mex
leo militia regiment supposed to be already IN
service was a grandfather-so the sergeant In
formed me- Another recruit sitting beside hlm
was boy of sixteen. But he was big for his
age. and he hoped to convince the examining
army surgeon that he was sixteen or maybe
the surgeon would wink at the thing.
Some of the others were hoboes, some Of
tbon, bore the stamp of the confirmed drunkard
and looked as though one march across the
desert would finish them. Others, as even
rossino glance would tell, could not possibly

"Do YOU honestly believe that half of this

Strolling between the tent lines of the New

of swarthy faces grlnnlng under campaign

companies Of the twelve which composed the

CAPTAIN "BILL"OF NEW MEXICO,
WHO DIDN'T KNOW HOW
TO PITCH A TENT.

The officers Of this regiment were typical
militia officers. painfully earnest, but at the
same time painfully inadequate. One OF the
captains had been elected just month be
fore the regiment had been called by the
Federal government. He was the all-around
good fellow" president of the Chamber OF
Commerce in his home town and all that sort
of thing His uniform was faultlessly cut
and the Chamber Of Commerce had voted hlm
a sword. binoculars, wrist watch and com
plete equipment. At home the boys IN the
company loved him like big brother and
they addressed him affectionately, but lhSuo-
ordinately," as Bill
Suddenly Bill found himself dumped into
the desert with his company and faced with
the problem of directing the pitching of the
companv tents. Bill had never seen COM
panv put I'D tents. He had not the least idea
as to how it was done. But Bill had presence
of mind that will some day make him great
commander
Jack" he said to the first lieutenant, who
had taken keener interest in military affairs
and who had once attended a military school,
you have the boys put up these blessed tent5
I'm going up town for while to see what
doing"
Bill departed and remained away until
dusk. When he returned he found that the
tents had been pitched There happened to
he an enlisted man who had once served IN
the regular army with that company, and he
knew how the weighty military problem was
done.
. Recruits came to the New Mexico regi-
ment every day Some Of them had never
seen a magazine rife before. None OF them
had ever been given any military training
Their awkward squads were the most awk-
ward that ever were seen.
In the making Of soldier under normal
conditions the recruit does not handle rife
until he has mastered the primary intticacies
of the drill But these recruits had to be
rushed. They were started on the manual OF
arms. 1t was intensified drill Of the weird
est sort.
The plight Of this militia regiment was
sadly reminiscent of the scenes in 1898, when
the United States improvsed an army for the
war with Spain remember that Funston's
10Th Kansas came to San Francisco IN rags
and all but bare-footed The Tennessee regi-
ment was snatched right from the mountains
and fields They were outftted in shoddy uni
forms half drilled and shipped on transports
to the Philippines.
General Funston did not inspect the New
Mexico militia regiment IN person while was
at Columbus II he had he would have found
something that would have reminded him
painfully of 1898.
You will say that the Goth Kansas Regi-
ment performed great service in the Philip
