1t Is Very Annoying But It's All The
~ Rage Now.

Several years ago, the most fash
ionable thing which could happen to
one was to have nerve enough, and
money enough to have an operation
for appendicitis performed. But the
war came along when appedicities was
at the height of it's popularity ad
everyone had to get busy at some
business of some sort, and they didn't
have time, for appendicitis, and as
Liberty Loans, and w. S. S. dug down
into the family exchequer. operations
were dispensed with, and appended
tbs became mere plebian cramps.
New Disease Fad.
But there is another disease, or fad,
which seems likely to exceed even
the popularity of appendicities. and
will soon make for polite c0nversa-
ton every time two or more people
get together. And one who begins now
to recite their latest operation,
or classify, catalog anti index
their various symptoms. pains. ills,
and ailments, will be distinctly out
of style unless than can include in the
list. the hiccoughs.
PERIODICALLY, with the advent of
!iQuor. there comes an epidemic OF
hiccoughs. Several cases in Pine Bluff
have, cropped up recently. one case
lasting as long as week. And the
ordinary, old fashioned remedies of
drinking water. counting to hun
dred, ETC.. are of course obsolete in
view of the fact that the hiccoughs
is becoming fashionable. and moth

Operations Out Of Date.
Nowadays, when Mrs. Highbrow
meets Mrs. Vogue at the circle meet

they might meet. they will not, as in
former days, eNclaim at once: ooh

Instead, it will be this: "Hic-hic-
honey. l hic-hic-have it, Hic--

Whether the hiccoughs is a half
sister to the influenza, or whether
it is an entirely new ailment is not
known, but at any rate. it has arrived
and it is quite the most stylish thing
in Pine Bluff.

The ANNUAL Army
APPROPRIATION
BILL Is REPORTED
Calls for 28,579 Officers and
500, 909 Enlisted
Men.

Washington, Feb. 10.-A temporary
military establishment of 28,579 of
ficer and 5O9,9O9 enlisted men is pro-
vided for in the annual army appro-
priation bill reported to the House to-
day by the military committee. The
measure carries total Of 81, LIT 1885,
400. The committee said an army of
the size recommended would be neces-
sary during the period of demobili-
zation." ~
Chairman Dent, said the bill which
appropriates about $68,000,000 less
than was asked for by the war denaSt
ment, will be taken up in the House
as soon as the naval appropriation bill
is passed, or about the middle of. the
week.
Legislation affecting the national
guard is among the features of the bill.
Anational guard organization of 1867
200 men is contemplated. Equipment
and supplies would be provided with
out charge by the war department
from the war stores. The total ap-
preparations for the buard aggregate
$1O,173,0O0.
Other Features 4
Other leading flues of the bill are:
Dual organization OF the tempo
rary army of537 ,588 men, so that part
will be constituted as prescribed in the
national defense act of 1916>providing
for organization of infantry, cavalry
and artillery units, and the remainder
so as to permit retention of new units
tank corps and others.
Return of the war department Or
ganization to bureau chiefs, instead of
centering it's organization in the gen.
eral staff.
Restoration of recruiting, with pro-
visions for one and three year enlist
ments. Adjustment of distinctive
stripes for overseas or service at home
during the war
Continuation of the increased war
paw for enlisted men.
Provisions for the promotion of Of
ficers and men. recommended for such
before the signing Of the armistice.
Army Not Permanent
The committees report on the bill
emphasizes that by establishing tenn
porary army of 27,579 officers and 500
900 men no suggestion is made that
such should constitute the permanent
standing army.
The committee also recommends the
repeal af the Overman act as applied
to the military establishment. Repeal
of the act, which gives the president
authority to coordinate bureaus and
is urged to safeguard the
provision for a return to the bureau
Orearization plan.
"The enlised force for the regular
army" declares the legislative rider
ofthe bill, prescribing the dual form
of organization, "shall be raised BY
voluntary enlistments for the periods
of three years and and for the addition
al forces herein authorized by yolur-
tary enlistments for the period OF one
year."
Year Enlistments
"All existing enlistments for a long,
er period than three years." continues
the rider, "shall be Terminated as
though made for three years and after
expiration of one years honorable ser
vice any enlisted man serving In the
continental limits of the United States
whose company, troop, battery or de-
tachment shah report him as prof.
cient and satisfactory trained, may in
the discretion of the secretary of war.
