Diabetes is n peculiar and battling
disease which the medical profession
seems to be unable to accurately de-
scribe and definitely cure despite the
many years of experimenting and re-
search by foremost physicians through
out the world.
Diabetes is invariably the result of
impaired nutrition and assimilation
this results in an excess of sugar In the
blood and failure OF the food TO nourish ;
hence gradual wasting away while
eating well.
Symptoms of the disease are. in

WEDDING OUTBE
In RESERVE CORPS
About 500 to Return to Civil
Life Within a Week.
THREE GROUPS TO Be FORMED
Infantry, Cavalry, and Artillery
Divisions to Be Trained.

Wedding out has started at the of e
ficers' reserve corps training camp
at Fort Myer and at least 500 Of the
2,3OO young men there will return
to civil life next week.
The wedding out is incident to re-
organization OF the students into
groups for special training. For the
first month all OF them were given
general military training.
Today Lieut. Col. Charles Fenton,
commanding the camp, is separating
the embryo officers into three divis-
ion-infantry, cavalry, and artillery.
They will get special, intensive train
ing for the branch OF the military
service. for which he considers them
best fitted.
ResIEnatIOns In Order.
While selecting the men for the
three groups, Colonel Fenton and the
other officers have taken occasion to
inform scores of the students that
their designations would be accept
ed.
The men are being dropped be-
cause of their youth, inaptitude for
military service, lack OF forceful per-
sonality, absence of initiative and
firmness, and unfitness other than OF
ambition to command bodies of men
in the stress Of battle and other war
emergencies.
Among the men requested to with
draw from the camp because they
will never make officers, in the opin e
ion of the powers that be at Fort
Myer, are numbers of college men
with a superabundance of book
learning" but a minimum Of military
qualification and sdaptability.
The training during the second
month will be more intensive and
rigorous than IN the first month,
