futile. For example, 1t is interesting

number of prison commitments among
the foreign-born population of the
United States, but It would be most
unsafe 10 base any congratulations on
them, for the number of commitments
TO prison is no indication of the num-
Der of crimes committed, and there
are many more criminals at large than
behind the bars. Those in prison were
not clever enough to escape. They
got caught. Those at large were able
to commit their crimes end elude de-
lection. The figures for America prob
ably are not very different. There So
per cent Of the criminals are at large
1t is fair to assume that this So per
cent is more intelligent than the Is
per cent that got caught Therefore
the Is per cent for which the statistics
are given is a highly selected group

statistics are untrustworthy as applied
to criminals in general, however val
liable they may be as 70 he compare

TROOPS IN REVOLT
Recorded Cases Of Mutiny in
British Army.
Have Been Rare In Recent Years,
Though War office Archives Con-
tain Accounts of Uprisines
That Were Serious.

With the exception Of the recent
rehabilitation troubles, mutinous dem
onstrations by soldiers of the British
army have been, happily, rare in mod
ern times, though they were not by
any means infrequent in the bad cid
days Of the lash and the triangle.
One of the most serious of these out
breaks was that which occurred in the
Black Watch, over 100 years ago, in
connection with which three men were
shot in the moat of the tower of Lon
don.
The duke of Wellington had to deal
too, with several of these outbreaks
during the Peninsular war, and his
methods, for the most part, We're
equally drastic.
1t was his way, however, to deal
lightly with mere petulant outbursts.
Thus when the Twelfth Lancers mis-
behaved in the summer of 1912 by re-
fusing to turn out for church parade,
he decreed that the entire regiment
should be paraded every evening at 10
o'clock, and stand at attention during
the playing OF five hymns by the band.
No limit was set to the duration of
the order, and the custom, as it event
ually became, was continued up to
1872 when II was abolished, after
having lasted exactly 100 years.
Far more serious notice was taken
by the authorities of a mutiny which
broke out among the Nineteenth Hus-
sars at the Curragh camp in Novem-
Der, 1877. The trouble began through
discomfort with certain officers in con-
nection with extra duty. No fewer
than rs of the indictments were ar
rested and tried before general
courtmartial, the sentences ranging
from five to eight years penal servi-
tude.
Very tragic was the outcome Of a
mutiny which broke out among the
garrison of Malta in April, 1907. The
malcontents seized Fort Ricasoli, over
looking the grand harbor. where they
were besieged by loyal troops. Event
ually, rather than surrender, they fired
the magazine and all persisted.
Probably, however, the most danger
Gus instance of wholesale disaffectior
occurred in 1859 among the British
troops then serving in India. The
disaffected men had enlisted to serve
in the Old East India company. Yet,
when the company ceased to exist
these men, by a stroke of the pen,
we're incorporated into the regular
British army.
They objected and regiment after
regiment refused to obey orders. In
the end the government was compelled
TO accede to their demands, when
some 10000 men claimed their dis
charge, and were sent home to Eng
land.

Yes, From Boston.

In one of the southern training
camps a profane and perspiring infan-
try sergeant was doing his best to
pound into the heads of a squad of ex-
ceedingly raw 'rookies" the rudiments
of military science.
When the sergeant gave an order
each willing recruit of the squad made
commemorate effort to execute it,
but every little rookie had a movement
all his own, with highly unsatisfactory
results.
"As you were! !" bawled the sergeant.
At this point the proceedings were
interrupted by a recruit from Boston,
who, before enlisting, had been Har-
ward student.
"Bew pawdon, sawgeant," said he,
but wouldn't it be noah propah to
say: You will restoah the status quo

IF Thin AND NERVOUS,
TRY PHOSPHATE
Nothing Like Plain Bitro-Phosphate -

thin people who are searching continually
for some method by which they may In

Is no wonder that many and varied sug-

While excessive thlnness might be at
tributed to various and subtle causes In
different individuals IL Is a well-known fact
that the lack OF sufficient PHOSPHORUS in

sible for this condition. Experiments on
humans and animals by many scientists
have demonstrated beyond question OF
doubt that body deficient in phosphorus

author and professor In his book Chem

SAYS: - that the amount OF phos-
OF man is seriously uuderestimated in many
of our standard text books"
II seems 10 be well established that thir
deficiency In PHOSPHORUS may now be met
by the use OF an organic phosphate known
throughout English speaking countries as
