WASHINGTON, September 23.-As
soon as the new $1,000, 900. 900 deficiency
appropriation bill is passed in the Sem
ate, the administration mems to inaur
uratc a new war program more far
reaching In its scope than even the
war-maktnB departments Of the gov
eminent dreamed of six months ago.
Definite plans have been worked out
for projects OF enormous magnitude.
suggestions of them have been given
out from time to time. but the infor-
nation submitted TO tho two appropri-
atoms committee of Congress in sup
port Of the new deficiency estimates
show that tho purposes of the govern
ment have only been partially dis
closed.
SWEEPING MEASURES
FOR CURRENT YEAR
Here are some of the more sweeping
measures which the United States pro-
poses to take during the current year:
l. Raising. cquipping and training Of
an army of 100000 men, every one
OIL them destined for foreign service.
:. Expenditure Of $4,000, 900 for ord
nance. including perhaps 1000 batteries
OF neid pieces and millions upon mil
lions or nigh explosive shells
o. expenditure or nearly $2S0.0OO 600
Tor new fleet OF torpedo-boat de-
stroyers, with which to combat enemy
submarines.
4. An aggregate expenditure Of near
~ S2,ooo.000.000 for a merchant fleet
which. when completed. will give this
country commercial command OF Tho
seas
D. An expenditure of approximately
Sl.ooo.ooo,oo0 for the supply, transpor-
tation and training Of the new armies.
6. An ultimate increase in the naval
personnel form 10000 to 100000 or
more. and corresponding increase fin
the enlisted force OF the marines
CREATION OF HOSPITALS
ALONG ATLANTIC COAST
These are the bigger projects. They
do not take into account the plans
which arc necessary for the support
or such program. They do not in
clude. for instance. the erection of a
string Of base and reconstruction hos
pitfalls along tho Atlantic coast; tho
creation OF embarkation environments
at certain ports: the organization of a
great body OF merchant marine seamen
who arc to man the new ships: the
location OF an artillery proving ground

The majority OF these men came from

II may be stated that, with the OK.
ception OF the Shipping Board appro-
priation and the increase OF the new

In addition to those now under wuy.
In some instances, this program is
only an extension of that originally
adopted. but In all cases It contcmplates
new activities on the part OF this gov
eminent
This country's war preparations CEN
ter around throe great entcrprises-
the army, the navy and merchant ma
rfne Every other interest leads to one
or the other of these. All three are
vital TO the success of our share Of
the war; and the administration Is con-
ceh'ratinS all the country's energies
and all it's resources upon them.
1t Is declared that no further legIs-
lation will be required for some time.
in order to put into operation this
program-this Is. no other legislation
than that now pending or passed. The
appropriation bill will pass the SEN
ate with only brief debate. Tho loan
bill already has passed both bodies.
PRESIDENT Is AUTHORIZED
TO CALL OUT MORE MEN
The selcctive draft law, under which
the National Army Is now being raised,
gives the President full authority to
call out 100000 men or an additional
number, II found necessary. Specifical-
~. 1t empowers the President to select
100000 men In two increments Of $780,
600 each. but there are general pro-
visions OF the law which permit the
selection OF reasonable number in
addition for the purpose OF filling tho
ranks OF the National Guard and the
regular army and for the purpose OF
maintaining tho FIRST 100000 men at
full war strength. These were the
provisions under which the President
called out 100000 instead OF 100000
In the first increment.
1t is now considered likely that the
War Department VIII call for 100000
men in very short time to provide
recruit reservoirs" This body of men
will not be subtracted from the second
increment. but will be re-enforce-
ment OF both the first and second in
crcmcnts and will give the army nearer
$500. 900 men than 100000. for which
Secretary Baker has asked nppropri-
atoms.

How to Master the
Machinery of
the Body
dBy \. b. COOK, VI. d.

The machinery of the body needs to
be oiled, kept in good condition, Just
as the automobile or bicycle. Why
should the human neglect his own
machinery more than that of his horse
or his engine? Yet most people do
neglect themselves. Their tongue has
a dark brown color, skin sallow,
breath bad, yet they fail to see that
their machinery needs attention. Ev-
erybody should take a mild laxative
at least once week A pleasant way
to clear the tongue and the highly
colored water noticed in the morning
is to taA a laxative which will cure
the inactive liver and biliousness.
A pleasant vegetable pill is made up
Of May-apPle, leaves Of aloe; and
jalap, made into a tiny pellet and coat
ed with sugar First put up by DR..
Pierce nearly so years ago. Druggists
sell these vegetables pellets in walls
simply ask for Dr. Pierces Pleasant
Pellets.
If backache, scalding urine or fire.
quent urination bother or distress you,
or if uric acid in the blood has caused
rheumatism, gout or sciatica, if you
suspect that you have kidney or blad-
der trouble, write DR.. Pierce, at In
valids' Hotel. Buffalo, n. Y, send a
sample Of urine, and describe symp-
toms. A physician and chemist will
examine it without charge and you
will be under no obligation whatever.
Dr. Pierce's Anuric Tablets cannot
fail to help you. because their action
flushes the kidneys of impurities and
puts strength into them.
Obtain a 5O-cent box OF Anuric
(double strength) today from your
druggist in town. From personal OBJ
servation in large hospital practice,
.Anuric will give you speedy relief
