more attention, undoubtedly, than

man is Babe Ruth. His deadly work

fans are wondering if he will prove
the home run king of the series and
perhaps shine in the box besides.

News Notes From Camp Wheeler

Camp Wheeler, Ca, April 11.-Ac-
cording to unofficial reports, approx
nlately ten thousand more soldiers
from a camp in the West are coming
to Camp Wheeler within few weeks.
Railway authorities here admit they
have information that large number
Of troops are soon to be transported
here but they decline to give details.
Among authorities of the Dixie d.
vlsbn, the claim is made that no new
men are coming from the West SO far
as they have been Informed.
1t was recently stated by an officer
from division headquarters that the
Thirty-frst division would go abroad
as whole unit, instead Of being di-
yided Quite large number OF troops
have already left the camp for ports
Of embarkation, and it may be that
the division will join them at some
point in France when they are or
dered across.
Inc coming of an additional ten
thousand men would give the Dixie
Division full division. 1t Is said the
division is now shy about that num-
her to make it a war strength diyi-
sion.
.Tust from what point in the West
the troops will be shipped here, pro-
rided the report is true, is not known.
Neither is it known what date they
will arrive. According to reports, the
new troops are part OF q new division
and will not be added to the Dixie or
gani2ation.
At present, there is one regiment Of
heavy artillery at Camp Wheeler
which is part Of the Seventh divi-
sion. They came here from Wscon-
sin. 1t may be that the new troops
are the other units Of this division,
although officers have stated they
were not of the opinion that any more
troops Of the Seventh division would
be sent here.
At any rate, 1t has been learned
from good authority that a large
number of new soldiers will come
here within the next thirty days.

Calomel Robbed of
Nausea and Danger
Medicinal Virtues Retained and I'm.
IrOved-Unpleasant and Dangerous
Qualities Removed-New Variety
Called "CalOtabs"

The latest triumph Of medical
science is a purified calomel, known
as "Calotabs." The old-style calomel,
as all doctors know, was the best and
most generally useful Of all medi-
cines. The new variety, known as
Calotabs, is purified and refined from
all Objectionable qualities, and is
most delightful in effect.
One Calotab on the tongue at bed
time, a swallow Of water-that's all.
No taste, no gripping, no nausea, no
danger. Next morning you awake
feeling fine, with a clean liver, q puri-
fed system and a hearty appetite for
breakfast. Eat what you please.
There Is no restriction of habit or
diet. Calotabs are sold only In orig
inal, sealed packages; price, thirty
five cents. Your druggist recon-
monds Calotabs, and will refund your
money IL you are not delighted with
them.

The will soon receive marching orders
which will send him where he can De
of more service to his country.
Congress has displayed a live IN
terest in the large corps Of army Of
ficers on duty in Washington. An
other resolution has just been passed
by the Senate calling upon the de-
partment for information as to the
number of staff officers stationed
here. The general staff recognizes
that the situation is one that deserves
investigation.
Congressional curiosity was aroused
by the development that there are
now about $4,000 noncombatant off,
GERS; in the army, as compared with
but $4,000 combatant officers. A sup
CRITICAL inquiry showed that the nom
combatant corps included a number
of young men of draft age who had
been granted commissions and were
excused from the dangers and incon-
veniences OF field service. This Is
What aroused the Indignation Of SEN
ators and representatives, who when
the selective draft bill was up for
consideration preached the justice Of
that proposition and assured the pub
lie that under it there would be no
favoritism; that all men of draft age
would be treated alike.
The Senate's resolution Of inquiry
F! on this subject set the War Depart
ment at work to ascertain the exact
facts, and the movement looking to the
assignment Of number Of young Of
licors to field duty is the result. There
may be technical duties performed by
some of the officers of draft age which
would warrant their retention in
Washington, but it is very difficult to
imagine what they could be.
There is no disposition to criticize
the staff corps, since it is generally
recognized that many of these OIL
GERS are dtained in Washington
against their will and upon important
duty. But the number Of them is so
large in proportion to the number of
fighting officers that an inquiry is not
unreasonable. No doubt many Of
them could well be spared, and prob
ably will be, in the weeding-out pro.
cess.
The chief Of staff Is doing we'll in
taking this matter in hand. He will
perform real service to the country
by sorting out the staff officers who
are not performing necessary service
in Washington and sending them
where they are needed. More impor.
tant still, he should not permit anv
officer of draft age to escape the re.
sponsibilities of active service In
this way the honor of the uniform will
be maintained unsulled.
