Dimculty in Teaching Commands.

From the start the drill masters
have found difiiculty in teaching their
men how to give commands The COM
manders of the companies walk fifty
or sixty PAGES on a fiank.ean while the
companies stand at ease call off men
one at time to come out and shout
commands at their respective com
panies. To stand out on side hill
and yell "On right into line, march"
SO as to be heard two-thirds of block
away. and to shout that order in a
manner demanding instant obedience
is bit too hard task for many of
the embryo officers.

Washington Stocks and Bonds.
Local securities are on a par with the

tically at the lowest level In a decade

there is no immediate remedy. 1t is q
burden that cannot be shifted with any
degree of comfort. as 1t makes an actual
loss Of what is now only a paper loss,
but severe enough at that, w,.n no as
surance OF being able to get back again.
Washington banks are standing back

manner. only insisting that modest
margin above market value shall be
maintained.
All bankers are willing to give advice

other than liberty loan bonds at this

the certainty of selling at a satisfactory

This aside from all references to a
patriotic duty. The chance for the in

reason that liberty bonds may, almost
to a certainty, be converted into cash
any day.
Railway Officials Busy.
Railway officials are busy these days,
seeking to make net gain from large

PREPARING FOR DRAFT


(SpeelDf Correspondence OF the Suhoa!
Star and New York Worid.)
CATEY, p. r., October 6--The Of
ficers' training camp established here
by the United states War Department
. lin many respects the most beautiful
In the world. Young Porto Ricans re-
Gently adopted by Uncle Sam as his
sons are being developed into first-class
oficers who will. in turn, help to train
and command the 1900 conscripted
Porto Ricans-
Tho camp is located on high ground.
on the broad acres surrounding Henry
barracks. on the Military road. about
thirty-two miles from San Juan. 1t is
generally called Camp Henry, although
II has not been officially SO designated.
The barracks were named in honor OF
Maj. Gen. Guy V. Henry. the military
governor of Porto Rico in 1928. 1t is
IN a rich agricultural section on the
outskirts of Cayey village. From it, in
all directions, can be seen tobacco and
cane fields in the Iowlauds, while on
the higher ground are coffee groves.
Two hundred and forty-f1ve candi-
dates. of whom only twenty are Ameri-
can born, are being trained by work
quite as intensive as that imposed in
training camps in the United States.
Just now the officers are a bit easy on
the boys" as every candidate has
received in his left arm two injections
Of anti-typhoid serum.

DAYS Routine Is Severe.

Much of the routine at Camp Henry
is like that in training camps in the
states. No time is wasted. Reveille
is blown at $50 am. and was until
recently sounded at 5:15. At this early
hour the candidates don their clothes
by the struggling beams OF an oil
lamp and the fiirs, sergeant uses a
flash light to enable him to see the
names on the roll. Usually heavy
fog, which is dispelled at sunrise. adds
to the natural darkness of the hour
From that time until $50 PM. when
taps is sounded, the hours are dlled
with drill. study and instruction.
Tropical downpours of rain frequent
" drive all hands to cover. and il il
happens that the students are march
tnG, as they do for an hour and hall
daily on the military road for two or
three miles. when the rain almost en-
guIfs them. they simply walk like web
footed amphibtans through the rivers
about them.
The students are making notable
progress in bayonet fighting, skirmish
drilling and patrol work.
But the most interesting part is the
coId-blooded massacre Of dummies
eighteen of them that look for all the
world like SO many boches- They are
constructed of grain sacks, grass and
hay. and are strung from posts after
the fashion of foot ball dummies.
The ground about Camp Henry is
ideally suited TO this work. as 1t Is
extremely uneven and contains grass
covered depressions. about the size OF
q young well. that are fairly good imi-
tations of she'll holes. 1t takes some
time to reach the bottom of one OF
them, and infinitely longer to get out.
Plenty of Good Food.
The candidates are well fed with the
best food obtainable. The mess halls
are a source of great interest to
visitors. No civilians are allowed &c
enter them. but at supper time they
cluster along the outside of the screen
ed walls and peer through. 1t looks
strikingly like feeding animals in a
cage. 1t is hard enough on the denizent
inside when there is a mere nondescrip,
group of spectators. but when on q
Sunday afternoon there is a crowd OF
beautiful senoritas with wondering
eyes the effect is SO disconcerting tha,
many an appetite IS spoiled.
The social and religious welfare OF
the students is well looked after
Catholics and Protestants have theii
Sunday services.
Gas masks, one-piece. Of the latest
French type, have arrived. but It Is
said they have only been used twice
. week thus far.

CABBAGE AND HOT
BREAD N0WAFAD;
MANTOOK TANLAC
Sixth St. Resident Says
my Digestion is
Perfect

ayes, eating cabbage and hot bread
has become quite fad with me be-
cause it was so long that couldn't
touch them at all. But my digestion
is perfect since took two bottles of
Tanlac," says John Lawrence, who
lives at PIT East Sixth street, Des
Moines.
'For months before | took Tanlac l
suffered with my stomach. When l
sat down to the table was afraid to
eat anything but the lightest foods,
and even they often made me sick. At
times my food would sour and fer
ment and cause me such pains that l
had to quit work for several hours.
"Now when a man has to work
every day he must have proper food
and sufficient rest at night. That is
something l didn't get; consequently
my entire system ran down.
"Since taking Tanlac l feel better
than l have for long time. l can
eat big meal and do not have the
least trouble. My nerves are much
stronger and l do not have any trouble
to get my proper sleep.
"After a good nights rest and with
plenty of food during the day l do my
work with greater ease. do not get
tired as l did before"
If you feel like Mr.. Lawrence, try
Tanlac. 1t is recommended and sold
by John McNerney, druggist, corner
Sixth and Grand avenues, in Des
Moines, and by the we'll known drug
gists in nearby towns. Remember the
address, corner Sixth and Grand ave.
nues. That is where you get genuine
Tanlac. Also at the Thomas Drug
Co., Buxton, Iowa.
