Bad Luck.

Bad Luck.
Jack Tumble was an acrobat,
A good one, too, tits said.
He'd take his foot, while lying nat,
And gently scratch his head.
But one bad day he broke his leg.
Such luck! It can't be beat!
The times are very hard for Jack:
He can't make both ends meet.

bearing the burden of preparedness meas
ures
The War Department, the State Depart

practically have been completed by the
War Department to use the Mills building,
now occupied by the Labor Department,
as soon as the Labor Department. new
building on street between 18th and

Department also is considering plans to
use the building which was the head
quarters of the American Red Cross, at
18th and II streets. Both the War and
Navy Departments have under considera-
ton plans for use of the old building of
the Department of Justice on Mcpherson
square.
The Navy Department also is seeking

DISTRICT militia
MAY Be ENLARGED
Regiment Of CoIored Troops
and an Additional Battery
Now Discussed.
CHANCE FOR ALL TO DRILL

The LIST Separate Battalion. d. c. N. g.,
probably will be expanded into regiment
as the result of the decision Of the War
Department to permit the National Guard
of the country to organize new units. An
additional battery of field artillery may
be organized. so as to give the District
guard battalion of artillery, but no other
expansions are contemplated. according to
a statement made today by brig. Gen.
William E. Harvey, commanding the Ma
tional Guard of. the District Of Columbia.
I'VE must bring our existing organi-
cations up to the required strength be-
fore considering the formation Of new
ones" said Gen. Harvey. He explained
that the expansion of the 1st Separate
Battalion into regiment had been con-
templated for some time. and that ne
would request authority from the War
Department to make this move.
Civilians May Learn to Drill.
There are many men in this city who
are not in a position to enlist in any
Of the units of the District National
Guard. but who are anxious to receive
elementary military training. and so
that this wish may be gratified. Gen.
Harvey has agreed upon a plan where
by instruction in the manual of arms
and drilling will be afforded them. The
use of Convention Hall has been en-
gagged for Tuesday, Wednesday and
Thursday evenings of each week. and
officers of the District National Guard
will be on hand to give instruction in
drilling.
The gymnasium of the L street ar
mory, which adjoins Convention Hall,
also will be used for this purpose and
every one who wants to drill will be
accommodated. Gen. Harvey feels sure
that many of the men who will attend
these drills will become SO interested in
the work that they will enlist in one of
the District guard units.
Arrangements also have been made
by Gen. Harvey to throw the rifle range
of the District National Guard open
for use by persons who want to perfect
themselves in craftsmanship, and also
the indoor gallery in the L street
armory.
A regular drill schedule was put in
operation today at the camp of the
Sd Infantry near Fort Niger, and now,
that the work of building the camp
is about completed, the men will be
subjected to a period of intensive train
ing.
The men Of the two battalions at the
camp were put through a series of
settlng-up exercises this morning,
under the direction of Maj. NJ. d. Stew

The comeback" of the continued use
of drug laxatives is frequently worse
than the original ailment.
All laxatives are irritants, which will
affect not only the intestines but the
stomach. They whip and spur the
bowels into action and are inevitably
followed by a reaction which helps to
make constipation chronic.
The use of Nujol, an intestinal lubri-
cant, is the sensible and effective
means of promoting normal bowel
movements.
