SIGNAL CORPS COMPANY
DOES WELL AT MUSTER
For the Eighteen Men Who Failed
in Examination Capt. Terry Has
Others to Fill the Places.

Out of the three officers and seventy
five men of the Signal Corps company
who were mustered into the federal
service yesterday two officers and fifty
seven men passed successfully the rigid
examination through which they were
put.
Lieut.. Russell NJ MacLennan was re-
jected for a minor trouble, but the
matter can be corrected within ten
days by dieting, according to the Of
f1cer. He. therefore. has applied to the
headquarters of the Eastern Depart
ment at Governors Island for a waiver
of the objection or that he be given
another examination in ten days.
Lieut.. MacLennan is particularly anx-
ious to go to the front with this COM
pany. He is an expert telegrapher. is
thoroughly familiar with every branch
of the signaling work and his rejec-
tion is considered a loss by the other
members of the company. So anxious
is he that if the Department of the
East turns down his request for a
waiver or another examination. he will
apply for enlistment. as he could pass
the examination applied to the enlist
ed men.
For the eighteen men who were re-
jected Capt. Terry, with his great sur
plus of men. had eighteen more before
the examining surgeons to fill their
places, so that he could leave the camp
for the border at full war strength
Most of the men were rejected for
underweight and underheight, and the
greater number of them were prac-
tical telegraph Their loss will be
felt by the command, according to the

HOT WATER AND "ANURIC"
BEFORE MEALS-AND HEALTH

All people in America and especial
ly those who are past middle age are
prone to eat too much meat, and in
consequence deposit lime salts in
their arteries, veins and joints. They
often suffer from twinges of rheu-
matism or lumbago. sometimes from
gout, swollen hands or feet. Such
people are not always able to exer-
else sufficiently in the outdoor air or
drink enough pure water in order to
sweat freely and excrete impurities
through the skin. DR.. Pierce has con-
Quoted experiments and thoroughly
tested a uric acid solvent at his In
valids' Hotel and Surgical Institute
which he is convinced is many times
more potent than lithia-this he
named "Anuric." 1t can be had at
almost all drug stores by simply ask
ing for DIR. Pierce's Anurtc for kid
