ARMY PROMOTIONS

We are entirely in sympathy with the purposes Of a resolu-
ton introduced by Senator Mcclellan, a member Of the commit
tee ON military affairs, to investigate the charge that favortism
has been shown in the bestowal OF promotions in the army.
1t is a matter OF common knowledge, available to any casual
observer, that promotions in the bomb proof departments in
Washington, where the Soldiers in reality are clerks, have been
handed out with proiigag hand, while the best insurance
against elevation is .hcld by the men who made a daily practice
OF exposing themselves in No Mans Land.
If the senator wishes TO establish the facts he will have no
difficulty in finding concrete examples to sustain the charge. A
few wcn-mcrted promotions have been awarded in the field, but
the spectacular advances have occurred among the officers who
have never gotten near enough to the ocean that separates this
country from France to experience the celebrating effect OF
the salt sea breeze,
There IS no probability that an investigation at this time
will correct any examples of discrimination, but it might correct
the evil oi the system, which is more at iault than any indi-
yidual. The wonder is thar someone before now has not inter
csted himself in this wide field OF usefulness.
Us it j., now operated, the nominations for promotions arc
made by the president. who does not and could not be expected
70 know the merits OF the individual cases, and confirmed by
the senate, which makes no inquiry into the matter it passes
upon. 1t is apparent, therefore, that the entire matter OF promo
ton is LETT in the hands OF burcaucratS, who are manly inter-
cstcd in themselves and those Immediately associated with them,
with the result that the Washington army fares exceedingly
well.

SOUR STOMACH.

This is a mild form of indigestion.
1t is usually brought on by eating
too rapidly or too much, or of food
not suited to your digestive organs.
1t you will eat slowly, masticate your
food thoroughly, eat but little meat
and none at all for supper, you will
more than likely avoid the sour stom-
ach without taking any incidence
whatever. When you have sour
stomach take one of Chamberlain's
Tablets to aid digestion. For sale by

MRS. FINLEY K. HALL.

At her home in Grenada, Miss, in
the early morning of May the 18th,
1913, the blessed spirit of our sister,
Mrs. Finley X. Hall took its departure
for the glorious home above.
She had fingered for many days
suffering without complaint, feeling
that if it were her heavenly Fathers
viii for her to suffer, why, it was al
right. When the final end came it
was without a struggle. She simply
fell asleep in Jesus and there was left
upon her lovely face IN expression
showing beyond doubt that just be-
fore she left her earthly tabernacle
she was permitted to gaze into heav-
en- for a moment and realize it as her
eternal home, which caused to be left
upon her face this heavenly smile that
will be there in the resurrection
morning.
She was a devoted mother, untir-
ing in her service to her children and
rs a neighbor, kind and thoughtful,
always ready and willing to render
such service as she was able. She
was a faithful member of the First
Baptist church here, and had been for
a number of years. The Lord spar
ed her to live for seventy four years
and these were filled with deeds of
kindness.
In her going we, the Woman's Mis-
sionary Society of the First Baptist
Church, Grenada. Miss, feel that we
have lost a faithful member. She
was not able to attend the meetings
regularly, but was always ready to
do what she could and took great
pleasure in doing it.. We shall miss
her-our loss is her eternal gain, for,
for her "to live was Christ and to die
was gain"
We extend our deepest sympathy to
her devoted children and commend
them to Him who is able to comfort
and console as no other. We know
that when our days here are over we
shall meet her in that blessed home
where partings and separations new
er come.
