USES FOR FAMILY UMBRELLA
Mind Of Woman Devises Two Ways In
Which Rainstick May Be Pressed

Two novel uses for an umbrella are
told Of in n recent issue Of Popular Me-
chanics Magazine. The mind Of Wom-
an devised them both.
Picnickers desiring to so In bathing
are often handicapped by the lack OF
convenient places to change clothes. An
umbrella and some paper muslin pro-
vides a light portable tent that Is prac-
teal aud inexpensive for such uses.
Cut the dirk paper muslin into as
many nine.foot lengths as there are
sections Of the umbrella. Sew these
strips together. At each sea tie n
string about Il yard long and a stout
cord IS feet long to the handle to hold
up the tent. For use open the uin
brella. invert It ana to eacl rib tie one
end o. the cord to the handle Of the
umbrella and suspend It from Il tree
or other support, Weighing or tying

obeahmen Are Mercenary.

The stock-in.trade of the Obeah-
men is as bizarre as their inventive
minds. In their magic bags they AR
nv about with them ground homes
of the dead, needles and black thread
rubbed with tallow. u looking.glass,
cards. powder. quicksilver, and an
evil-smelling gum reputed to be of
the devil. BY ringing the changes
on these mixtures they work their
wonders and impose upon their vic.
tins. Curing diseases Of the mind
and of the body Is merely a side is-
sue with them. Protecting fruit.
gardens and chicken runs ore their
speciality. One thing they have In
common - that IL, the mercenary
habit. They sell their "power' to the
highest bidder. Consequently, Us the
nigger's wealth, SO his health and
prosperity. All that the Obeahmen
stipulate Is that payment must be
made according to the magnitude OF
the miracle to be wrought. They are
accredited with having knowledge Of
secret African bush poisons. But
this IL an ex%aggeration. When they
have recourse to this desperate ex'
IRENE they r content to use arsenic

HOW TO DISTINGUISH RANK.

IT would be useless for the new soldier
to know the courtesies he must pay to
rank unless he knows how TO dlstin-
euish such rank. He must know the
marking which designate the officer
and the noncommissioned officer, and
he must also know the general symbols
Of the service.
The corporal. the lowest rank OF
noncommissioned officer. wears a pri-
Yates uniform, with chevrOns on his
arm. A cOrporal's chevrons consist of
two parallel stripes of cloth in the
shape Of Il triangle without q base,
with slightly curving sides. The chew
rons, In the olive drab uniform, are
of q different shade OF brown. while
on the blue army uniform they are Of
the color which distinguishes the cor
poral's particular branch of the serv-
Ice.
The sergeant, next In rank. wears
chevrons Of three stripes; while the
first sergeant, chief noncommissioned
officer Of the company, wears a chev-
ron of three stripes. with u square in
the center.
The second lieutenant. In olive drab.
is marked by the difference between an
| officers and IA %priynte's uniform--that
is, he wears leather OF wool puttees,
instead of canvas leggings; there Is
Il stripe OF brown braid around the cuff
IF his coat, and he Il the officers
hatband, Il snake-cord of black and
gold strands. The first lieutenant
wears one silver bar on each shoulder.
The captain has two silver bars on
each shoulder. The major has II gold
leaf, the lieutenant colonel a silver
leaf. The colonel Is marked by II sill
yer eagle, and the brigadicr general bS
one silver star on each shoulder. The
major general (the highest rank a
present In our active service) Is desig
mated by two silver stars.
The officers insignia presents ;
somewhat different appearance OF
dress and full-dress uniforms, al
though the marks remain the same, bu
us the new soldier who goes int
camp now Is likely to see nothing bu
the field-service uniform, 1t would b
confusing to burden his mind with
further description Of officers shoulde
straps.

should know the colors of at least tn
three great branches Of the service

THE SOLDIER AND HIS COM.
RAOES.

II the new soldier. before joining the
colors, has had everything much his
own way at home, the first thing that
he will discover when he goes to camp
Is that he counts for just n individ-
ual In his squad.
While in the family circle he may
have been 100 per cent important In
all matters relating to himself, In camp
he Is simply one Of eight men who oc-
cupy the same tent. Theoretically, the
new soldier may know that he should
obey officers and noncommissioned Of
ficers, including the corporal who lives
in his tent but what he may not real
ize Is that in all questions not involv'
ing authority from above. he Is also
circumscribed by the rights and privi-
leges of others. The rights and con.
venience Of others rs well us his own
must be thoroughly fixed in his mind.
1t must be a process Of giving and tux
Ing all down the line.
The ratio Of the rights and cOnven.
fences Of others to his own, In fact, Is
about seven to one. Eliminating the
corporal, whose position In the tent IL
official and paternal, the new soldier Ia
entitled to his share of the common
rights and p~rivlleges-no morc--and
must ungrudgingly perform his share
Of the common wOrk-nO less.
II the new soldier falls to conform
to these rules Of conduct. not only will
he be disciplined with odious fags and
details by the corporal, but he will find
that his terminates %instinctively league
themselves against him. They watcf
for every opportunity to make lifs
irksolne for him, ingeniOusly piling tht
work upon him In deft ways which the!
will discover; md, II he Ia incorrigible

SELF HELPS for the
NEW SOLDER
rHs SOLDIER ON THE MARCH.

II there are important reasons why
. soldier In camp Or In barracks should
look to his health. these reasons are
infinitely more important when ON the
march. For II q sick soldier Is a drain
an the regimental while In
camT,,in the field, II he has to be car
ded In an ambulance. or sent back to
the hospital In the care of another sol
dier. he becomes an utter encum-
brancc.
II IL for this reasOn that the phys-
ical examinations are now so exacting,
in order to weed out all those predis-
posed to break down under marching
conditions. Yet II is not necessary for
n man to be a~ctually sick for him to
become u dead weight on IL body Of
troops. II he does not take care of his
feet, he will become fully as useless.
One half-inch blister may, for march
ing purposes, turn u six-foot soldier
into an invalid.
In the first place. the shoes should
be fitted with special attention. They
should neither be too wide nor too
short. Sores and blisters should be
promptly dressed during n halt. At
the end of the march the feet should
be hathed and dressed. and, II prac-
ticable, the shoes should be changed.
A soldier should under no circum-
stances, however, go barefoot, for his
feet would swell and give him In
creased difficulty as soon as he starts
to march again.
One Of the points which cannot be
emphasized too strongly is that water
should not be drunk on the march. A
soldier may take an occasional swal-
low from his canteen, rinse out his
mouth ind then expel the water, but
II he drinks outrlght--as he may do
freely ut the end of the march-the
consequences are disastrous.
One National Guard regiment on the
Mexican border last year started upon
n six-lnile march. The column was Il
shining succession Of uplifted can
teens. Before five miles had been coy,
cred, % men were stretched out by thu
roadside in collapse. Another Ma
tional Guard regiment, In which thu
men drank without restruint on n no
march-even scooping up water from
pUddles, lost approximately two hun

A soldier should never sleep on tn
ground. He should always have his
rubber poncho. or at least his blanket
beneath him, and, whenever possible
II bed of straw or leaves beneath pom
cfo or blanket. If the dampness o
the soil entered his system, he woult
contract cold and rheumatism and be
come, as with all sick men, u heav,
drag upon his organization.
Just as 1t Is essential, for the SAX
of his health, that a soldier keep scru
puIously clean. so for the protection O
the general health. a camp or burrack
must also be rendered immaculate. A
trash, even small pieces Of paper
should be swept from the floor of tn
tent or quarters, or '1policed" from tn
company street. For trash breeds II
sects and insects carry disease. A
pools and damp places near the cam
should be drained, 50 that mosquitoe
may have no place to multiply. &c

mosquito bars, as II protection again:

HOW DOCTORS TREAT
COLDS AND GRIPPE

Ask any physician or druggist and
he will tell you that the best and
only effective remedy for bad cold,
sore throat or la grippe is what he
calls a brisk calomel purge" which
means a big dose of calomel at bed
time. But as the old style calomel
has some very unpleasant and an
gerous qualities, physicians and rug
gists are now recommending the i'm
proved nausealess calonel, called
"Calotabs' which is purified and re-
fined from the sickening and danger
GUS effects and whose medicinal vir-
lures are vastly improved.
One Calotab on the tongue at bed
time with a swallow of water
that's all. No salts, no nausea nor
the slightest interference with your
diet, pleasures or work. Next your
cold has vanished and your entire
system is purified an refreshed.
Calotabs are sold only in original
sealed packages, price thirty-five
cents. Your druggist guarantees CAL
otabs by refunding the price if you
are not delighted.-Adv.
