nance department. a signal corps, the
officers Of the bureau of insular affairs,
G military bureau, the regular army re-
serve, the corps Of cadets at West
Point, and other smaller organizations
used for disciplinary grades, service
schools, and record depot detachments
and for some other purposes.
How II Is Commanded.
An army is IA huge body of men gath
cred together for fighting purposes In
different units Of organization. An
army when 1t passes a certain strength
usually Is commanded by a general.
Today there is no general In the Unit
ed States army, but 1t is probable that
within a few months congress will re-
ylve the rank and name some officer,
who, taking the title Of general, shall
have supreme command OF ali the fight
ing forces In the field.
An army Is composed Of army corps.
There may be two or three or more
corps In an army. Sometimes when
there Is a huge number of troops In
the field one general Is put In supreme
command while his forces are divided
into several armies, each one In COM
mand Of a lieutenant general. 1t is
likely that congress soon will make
Maj. Gen. John ]. Pershlng a lleuten-
ant general and put him in command
OF the First corps, consisting Of several
divisions Of troops, to see service In
France.
A division Of troops is commanded
by a major general. 1t Is composed
Of several brigades, each one of which
Is commanded by a brigadier general.
II Is possible for a brigade to consist
Of a combination Of cavalry, infantry
and artillery, but frequently each bril-
gade is composed of regiments all OF
the same branch Of the service. The
typical infantry brigade, for instance,
consists Of a headquarters and three
regiments Of Infantry, while a typical
cavalry brigade consists Of a head
quarters and three regiments Of cav
airy.
Composition Of the Regiment.
Each regiment Is commanded by
colonel, who has under him a lleuten.
ant colonel, whose duties are rather
nondescript, although his chief duty il
to take the place Of the colonel In his
absence or In case he is wounded OF
killed In battle.
Each regiment Is divided into bat
t%ali0ns, and each battalion Is com

handed by a major. A battalion con-
slsts Of two or more companies, troops
or batteries, and each company Is com
handed by a captain. In each com
pany there is a first lieutenant and a
second lieutenant, and complete com
plement Of noncommissioned officers,
first sergeants, duty sergeants, and
corporals.
The company is divided into squads
for purposes OF instruction, discipline,
control and order, each squad consist
ing Of a corporal and seven ~privates.
The corporal is the squad leader, and
when absent is replaced by a desig-
mated private. It might be said that
from the squad, consisting as 1t does
only Of a corporal and sever privates,
the whole formation of an army is de-
veloped and In a regulated. The
squad Is a small base unit from which
armies take their growth by a series of
developing steps.
Men who enter the United States
army as recruits have the same chance
that men had years ago not only to be-
come commissioned officers, but to
reach the high place Of command of
all the armies of their country.
Does this seem TO be an exagger-
ated statement? Only recently there
died a lieutenant general of the United
States army who commanded all the
forces Of Uncle Sam. He entered the
service as an enlisted man of regulars,
going to a recruiting Office just al any
boy Of today can go to u recruiting
office there to don the uniform Of "a
private, later to enter the ranks, and
II 1t is In him to work his way up to
the top.
Private Goes to Top.
On July %, 1861, Lieut.. Gen. Adna
r. Chaffee applied for enlistment as a
regular In the army of the United
States. There was nothing to differ
entlate him from other young men who
applied daily at the recruiting office
He was assigned as a private to Troop
X Of the Sixth cavalry, an organization
which exists today and In which John
]. Pershing, now commanding our
forces In France, saw his first hard
fighting duty. General Chaffee rose
from private to sergeant, to first ser
geant, to second lieutenant and
through the rest of the ranks until
be was made lieutenant general of the
United States army, the ranking officer
Of Uncle Sans forces.

.SOLDIER,S HEART" NEWEST
DISEASE is BEING DISCUSSED

LONDON, April 25.-A report by the
army medical research committee dis,
cusses the disease known as Soldiers
heart" which has been very prevalent
in the British army during the past
two years. The report asserts thac
the ailment "is not true heart disease
at all, but is often treated as such, and
shows that about fifty per cent. Of
those affected have later returned to
duty as the result of system of ply
steal training.
The report states that rest in bed
is harmful for these cases, and should
be avoided at all stages of treatment,
except in instances of severe heart
pain, severe headache or giddiness."
The ordinary symptoms of Soldiers
heart" are breathlessness. pain, ex-
haustion, giddiness and fainting, with
palpitation, lassitude and irritability.

MANY CITIZENS CAN'T TELL
OFFICEKS RANK BY INSIGNIA

WASHINGTON. April 24.-Not one
civilian out of hundred can tell an
officers rank by his insignia. In these
war days, when an officer is required
to wear his uniform at all times it's
easy to tell the rank if you remember
the simple allegory.
Generals have stars on their shoulder
straps; colonies an eagle; lieutenat
colonies have maple leaf; majors an
oak leaf; captains two bars, first lieu
tenants one bar and second lieutenants
no bar at all. The allegory:
The second lieutenant enters the
service at the bottom with the future
before him, hence he has no designat-
ing rank. The lieutenant has climbed
one bar of the ladder hence one stripe
On his shoulder strap. When the cap
taincy has been reached he has climb
ed another bar and wears two stripes,
over the two bars comes the oak leaf
and above it the maple. Soaring males
tically above all the others are the
stars-the leaves the major and lieu
tenant colonel. the eagle the colonel
and the stars the general.

IF KIDNEYS And
BLADDER BOTHER
Take a Glass of Salts to Flush Out
Your Kidneys and Eeutralize
Irritating Acids.

Kidney and Bladder weakness result
from uric acid, says noted authority
The kidneys filter this acid from the
blood and pass it on to the bladder.
where it often remains to irritate and
infiame, causing a burning, scalding
sensation, or setting UP an irritation at
the neck of the bladder, obliging you
t. seek relief two or three times during
the night. The sufferer is in constant
dread. the water passes sometimes
with a scalding sensation and Is very
profuse; again, there is difficulty in
avoiding it.
Bladder weakness, most folks call It,
because they can't control urination.
While 1t is extremely annoying and
sometimes very painful, this is really
ore of the most simple ailments to
overcome. Get about four ounces Oh
lad Salts from your pharmacist and
take a tablespoonful in glass OF
water before breakfast, continue TINS
for two or three days. This VIII neu-
tralize the acids in the urine so 1t no
longer is a source of irritation to the
bladder and urinary organs which then
act normally again.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless
and is made from the acid OF grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lithia'
and is used by thousands of folks who
are subject to urinary disorders caus-
ed by uric acid irritation. Jad Salts is
splendid for kidneys and causes no
bad effects whatever.
Here you have a pleasant, efercesv-
ent lithia-water drink, which quickly
relieves bladder trouble. adVt.

Fer TIRED SCHOOL CHILDREN

Boys and girls who have been bend
ing over their desks for weeks and
months, and often studying at home

SITE OF MOST ANCIENT CITY
OF EGYPT HAS BEEN FOUND

CAIRO. April 25.-The site of Can
opus, one of the most ancient cities OF
Egypt, has been found, according to
Daninos who claims the honor Of
making the discovery. For many years
he has maintained that its site lay
somewhede in the region of Aboukir
Bay and, apparently, his contention is
now to be proved to be correct.
Before the foundation of Alexandria,
Campus was the commercial capital
OF the country and the most religious
center in lower Egypt.
Excavations have already brought to
light a great public bath of the Ptole-
maic period, about Is feet in length. 1t
is divided into twenty chambers of
which the largest is about "a feet long
and Of the same width. There are
rooms for various forms of baths, such
as hip and mud baths and large hall
which was evidently used for massage
purposes and the preparation of ara
matte OIL
Bronze coins found in various rooms
bear the effigies of Ptalemy Softer, Pto-
clemy Emergencies and Queen Bernice.
Of the several statuettes unearthed, the
most interesting is that Of Chinese
figure, which shows, it is contended,
that in. this dim past relations must
have existed between China and this
ancient capital of Egypt.

MORE FOOD SHIPS SUNK AND THE
 BRITISH PEOPLE BECOME ALARMED
BRITISH BECOME ALARMED

LONDON, Jan 19-There is no longer believed to be the slightest use in conceamg the fact that the British public have become alarmed by the threatened loss of their food supplies The last harvest was bad and the home supply was seriously diminished as consequence but the worst of all is the amazing increase of the activity of German submarines which are now carrying on more successful operations than against the shipping of all the Allies as well as against the ships of neutral co
 tries that carry food supplies The losses by submarines are constantly growing No less than seven ships carry ing food to England were announced sunk today. Amongst them are the British ships Auchencrag Man. chester, Garfield Wragby and Kimpurney, the NOweg- ian City of Tampco and the Danish Omsk The crew of the Auchencrag were lost and another steamer has ar
 rived carrying eighty members of the crew of the other sunk vessels The ship carrying the survivors was com peed to follow the submarine for three days until last Tuesday when she was let go for an English port.
