CHANGE INSIGNIA
WORN BY OFFICERS
Number of Changes on ,Medallions
and Other Marks On Uniforms
to Be Made.

More or less extensive changes in
the present insignia worn by enlist
ed men, as we'll as regulations pre-
scribing the proper insignia for or
ganizations which have been evolved
since the present war are now in
preparation in the war department,
according to advance information,
and are soon to be announced, sup
planting those now in use. Perhaps
the most notable change is that now
for the first time the medallion worn
on the right side of the collar will
bear besides the letters U. S. the
number of the mans division, or
separate brigade, regiment, battal-
ion, train or battery. At present
only the two letters are displayed
on the right hand medallion, the
number of his organization being
found on the left one, together with
the insignia of his corps, depart
ment, or arm of the service.
The letters U. S. on the right me-
dallion will in turn have super-im-
posed on them, except in the case of
the regular army, one of the letters
", R., N. G., and N. A., standing
respectively for Volunteers, En-
listed Reserve Corps, former Ma
tional Guard, and National Army.
In all cases the number of the mans
unit, when appropriate, will also be
worn on this, below the letters U. S.
which shall otherwise be in the CEN
ter of the disk.
On the dress uniforms and white
coats, enlisted men in lieu of the
disk with letters as described above
will wear the letters U. S., U. S. ".
U. S. R., u. S. with N. G. super-im-
posed, or U. S. with N. A. super-im-
posed, indicating respectively Regu-
lar army, Volunteers, etc., just as in
the case of ornaments for service
uniforms. Only the insignia of the
quartermaster corps will be worn on
the white coats of cooks and bakers.
The disk to be worn on the left
Of the collar will encircle the insig-
MIA of the corps, department, or arm
of the service to which the man be-
longs, and in addition will display
The Abbeville press and banner. [volume] (Abbeville, S.C.) 1869-1924, 1917-11-20

the letter of the troop, battery, or
company, where applicable. The
letter of an engineer company will
be above the middle truuet of the
castle which is the corps's device,
and for cavalry, field artillery, and
infantry organizations in the lower
angle of the device. For the trains
of a division or higher unit, the de-
vice will be a capital T, 3-4 of an
inch in height.
Medallions for the left collar of
headquarters of brigades or higher
units will show a capital H, while
the hat cord will be that of the in
fantry in the case of an infantry d.
vision, that of the cavalry in case
of cavalry, and that of the artillery
in the case of artillery. The head
quarters troop of an infantry divi-
sion will wear an H, with infantry
hat cord. Machine gun battalions
will wear crossed rifles with the let
tiers N. G. in the upper angle, and
letter of the company in the lower,
with infantry hat cord. Trench
mortar batteries will wear the coast
artillery crossed cannon, which diff
fer from those of the field artillery
in bearing a shell at their intersec-
ton. The letters T. M. will be found
in the upper angle, and the letter of
the battery in the lower, with artil-
lery hat cords.
Anti-aircraft battalions will wear
the coast artillery crossed cannon,
with A. A. in the upper angle and
the letter of the battery in the low
er, with artillery hat cords. Head
quarters of trains and military po-
lice will wear a capital T, with in
fantry hat cord in the case of an
infantry division, and cavalry in the
case of cavalry division. Ammu-
milton trains also wear the T, but
show the artillery hat cord. Supply
trains wear the quartermaster in
sigma, as we'll as the hat cord of
the quartermaster corps. The engi-
neer trains wear both the insignia
and hat cord of the engineers, and
the sanitary trains the insignia and
hat cord of the medical department.
Trench mortar and anti-aircraft
batteries not organized into battal-
ions wear the crossed cannon of the
coast artillery, with the letters T.
M. or A. A. in the upper angle, and
the artillery hat cord. Regiments
of cavalry organized as field artil-
lery, wear the same insignia and

STANDARD OF SCHOLARSHIP.
We are often asked by anxious
parents when their daughters will
graduate. This we can never an
swer; for one might be disaproved
on the work of any section" even
the last one in her Course.
We carefully avoid mere surface
work. BY frequent reviews, by ex-
ira problems and exercises, by in
dependent Investigations, by actual
The Abbeville press and banner. [volume] (Abbeville, S.C.) 1869-1924, 1917-11-20

use Of apparatus, by written exam
inations-in short, by every means
in our reach-we enjoin a credit
able acquaintance with each subject
as the essential condition of ad-
vancement. AS proof of the truth
of these statements, we point with
pride to the small number of our
Alumnae. Our object is not to grad
uate young ladies, but to conduct
their education as we'll as we can
for the time they remain in our
care. The Institution has been in
operation thirteen years, with an
average annual attendance of one
hundred and thirty-fve pupils; and
vet we have sent out but fifty-two
graduates, an average of only four
per annum.
We dwell on these facts, not in a
mere spirit Of boasting, but princi-
pally to prevent misunderstanding,
and consequent dissatisfaction.
Young ladies sometimes attend a
boarding-school, merely for the sake
of spending a few months in pleas
ant circumstances, and of referring
to their school-days in afterlife. We
kindly warn all such that they would
not be pleased with our School.
DRESS.
We have no uniform. Our pupils
have no use for costly clothing, and
but little temptation to desire it.
Our village is small, and free from
the tyranny Of fashion; and we have
not found it necessary to make a
formal enactment on the subject.
We encourage plain, neat attire;
and in this, as in most other res
poets, the pupils very generally
imbibe the spirit of the Institution.
Whatever clothing is good enough
for home will answer every purpose
here.
In estimating expenses, it should
be kept in mind that our pupils are
not obliged to produce extra out
fits for public closing exercises-a
matter of no little consequence to
many patrons.

Bridge. He is head of N. Garlick
& Company, of 1O1 Gold Street.

brldge. he IS mead OF n. Garlick
& Company, of 1O1 Gold Street.
Prominent in the real uplift work
of the worlds greatest city, he holds
the deep respect of thousands with
whom he comes in contact in busi-
mess, political, church and frater-
nal affairs. Since boyhood, and for
45 years, he has labored. He is
now 81 years old. 1t is only nat
ural that, with all his activities, the
strain should begin to tell.
"Maybe 1 have overworked,"
said Mr.. Garlick, "but, at any rate,
I began to suffer from broken rest,
loss OF appetite, failure to assimi-
late the nourishment I needed, and
nervousness" he explained. 'It is
what the average can calls all run
down. and there are lot" of US in
every city. I felt as if needed
something to build me up-some-
thing that would bring back the
strength I was losing; something
that would help take away the wor-
ries, give me real appetite, tone
up my stomach and whole system
and quiet my nerves. Through
friends I heard of a new medicine,
Tanlac, and decided that if it
could help others it ought to help
me, too, so l tried Tanlac. And
now," he continuation work is
his big thought in life-"I can do
twice as much work as I could be-
fore. My nerves are quiet, I rest
well, I enjoy meals because my
stomach digests my food, I am
stronger and feel wonderfully bet
ter"
When men like Morris Garlick
endorse a medicine, there can be
no further proof asked. He felt it
was his duty to tell Of Tanlac to
help others. No other medicine ev-
er has won such support. Because
Tanlac is the reconstructive, sys-
tenn purifier and stomach tonic, su-
preme for weak, nervous, ailing men
and women who need more strength
better digestion and rehabilitation
of the nervous system, it receives
endorsements like this.
Tanlac, the master medicine, is
sold exclusively by P. B. Speed, 40

BREAD PRICES COME FIRST
Meat and Dairy Priducts Next-First
Move this Week.

Washington, Aug. 11.-Measures to
control the sale and price Of wheat
and flour under the food control law
will be announced next week by the
food administration. Breadstuffs, it
was said today, will be the first food
over which the government will exer-
else supervision. Meat and dairy
products will come next.
Regulation of food prducts will be
taken up by commodities. AS fast as
plans are made the food administra-
ton will make known it's program
concerning handling each. The pres
ent intention is to improve economic
conditions through cooperation of
industries concerned and no attempt
will be made to enforce drastic pro-
visions of the law unless the co-opera-
tive plan fails.
The ADMINISTRATION is preparing a
series of statements on the food situa-
ton in the United States and abroad
and hopes to impress on the American
people the necessity for assistance in
carrying out it's aims.
