grains OF carbonate Of potash. and ne
half ounce Of lard or vnseline. This
ointment should be applied to the nj.

HISTORIC COMMANDS
TO REMAIN INTACT

The War Department is going TO
make every effort TO preserve the
historic traditions OF old regiments.

he had already ordered various de-

ments, one from the North and one
from the South. Not only did the
history of these regiments go back
before the civil war, but at the bat

another. Now they are members of
the same brigade"
1t will be absolutely necessary, the
secretary explained, to break up Iaany
regiments in forming the new army
But wherever a regiments age and
traditions make its spirit a valuable
factor it will be preserved and enlarg-

Scores of protests have reached the
office Of the Secretary OF War asking

have invariably been turned over TO
the departmental commanders. who
are responsible for the formation OF
the new armies, with the request
that every consideration consistent
with military necessity be given them.
