Rev. Edmund Heslop
Calls 1t A Blessing

The Rev. Edmund Heslop of Wigton,
Pa, suffered from dropsy for a year.
His limbs and feet were swollen. He
had heart futtering, ftful appetite, was
heavy and sleepy after meals. There
were dark circles round his eyes, which
were swollen and pulled. He became
exhausted at the least exertion, was
dizzv and suffered very much from
shortness of breath. His limbs were
heavy and he had such a dragging SEN
sation across the loins that he had no
power to move. His skin was dry and
harsh. His hands and feet were cold.
He has used five boxes of DODD'S
KIDNEY PILLS, and the swelling IS
all gone, and he looks like himself. He
saws he has been benefited and blessed
by the use of Dodd's Kidney Pills.

Believe They VIII Reioin.

Seemingly it is believed by the War
department, because. presumably it
knows the spirit Of the ex-service men,
that nearly all of the reserve officers
whose commissions expire shortly will
rejoin the. service. The secretary of
war apparently thinks that Uncle Sam
can depend on the patriotism Ct the
men who once served to move them to
serve again.
The department will go ahead with
plans for the summer training for the
reserve corps. 1t is probable that If
the appropriation is not increased by
the senate, accomre odations and train
ing for only 900 can be provided II
should be UNDERSTOOD however, that
officers who can afford to pay their
own expenses will be welcome to the
camps. There will be quarters for
them and training opportunities even
if they must be denied the two weeks
pay and subsistence which their COM
rades receive.
There have been certain admin
istrative inequalities in the depart
ments efforts to make the reserve
corps efficient, but former service
men say these inequalities rapidly are
being eliminated. The reserve corps
men look to the country for interest
and sympathy and an endorsement
which they hope will move congress
to treat the corps generously in the
future.
1t was believed by the government
authorities Immediately after ARMS
tice day that it would be difficult to
form a reserve corps because of the
"war fatigue" which probably would
make itself manifl ST. The authorities
were pleasantly disappointed, for the
affirmative responses to the invitation
to join the reserve corps came in by
the thousands.

Plea for Reserve Corps.
Before midsummer the commissions
of $4,000 officers of the. reserve. corps
Of the United States army will expire.
The question which IS sharply inter-
esting the War department is, will
these officers apply for re- commission?
The War department and the gen
eral staff of the army believe that
there should be a reserve officer per-
sonnet of about 10000 men. There
are $4,000 men holding commits
sions in the reserve corps today, but,
as has been said, $4,000 of these com
missions will expire shortly.
It does not cost much money to keep
the reserve corps in existence. 1t seems
to be recognized even by opponents of
a large army that the holding within
the civilian population of a large num-
Der of men fit to take major or minor
command in time of war is a proper
preparedness condition. The War de-
partment believes that a competent
reserve officers corps is an insurance
against possible peril Of the future,
and an insurance upon which the pre-
MUM to be paid amounts to little or
nothing
Virtually every one of the reserve
corps officers holding commissions to-
day served in the World wa. either rs
an officer or as an enlisted man. These
men know show to do it, as the war
proved. but it does not take knowledge
Of military affairs to make anyone I'M
derstand that no matter how long men
have served, they need some training
each year to keep abreast of the
times, to keep their enthusiasm up
and to keep them physically fit
Small Sum for Training Camps.
In view of the necessity of keeping
the reserve corps officers interested
and in touch with developing condi-
tions, the War department last year
and this year asked congress to pro-
vide a comparatively small sum of
money to enable the reserve officers to
go into camp for two weeks each year
for training purposes. Last year con-
gress appropriated small sum of
money, but action was taken so late
that it virtually was impossible for the
reserve corps officers who desired so
to do to take part in the camp life of
the summer.
Of the $4,000 men who held commits
sions less than 5000 secured the adj
vantage of the two weeks outing and
training, and yet so willing were the
| officers to go to camp that they per-
sonaIly made it definitely known that
nothing but the delay in congressional
action prevented them from Selling
the opportunity which was offered.
The house has just made an allow
ance Of about $1,000,000 for training
camp purposes for reserve officers dur
ing the coming summer. OF the $4,000
officers only 1900 can be given the
necessary training because of the
smallness OF the appropriation. 1t is
of course possible that the senate may
add something to the house sum, but
it cannot add much because of the GER
tainty that the house will object to
any large increase. The house action
was taken when less than a hundred
out of a total Of 435 members were
present.

Memorial to Husband and Son.

Mrs. Henderson has offered to pre-
sent the house to the government in
memory of her husband and her son,
a distinguished scientist, who died re-
Gently. Her own home is on a Six
teenth street hill, in a residence of
castle-like proportions and architec-
ture. 1t is known as Boundary castle,
because at one time the site was on
the boundary line separating the city
from the other part of the District of
Columbia.
Mrs. Henderson for years has been
an ardent advocate of temperance,
and her residence was the scene of
q dramatic happening a number of
years before prohibition became the
law of the land She was member
of a temperance organization which,
as MEMORY has it, was called 1.-THE
Sons of Jonadab.' The story is that
in the Henderson cellar were many
fine old brands of wine and other
liquors, the accumulation of years.
The members of the temperance or
ganization were invited to the Hen
derson house to hold meeting, and
in the course of the evening the entire
company, hostess and guests, took the
bottles from the wine cellar and emp
tied their contents into the cutters
of the streets. Since that day there
never has been a drop of liquor within
the precincts of Boundary castle,
When Minister WI represented
China in this country he was an occa-
sional guest with other officials at
Boundary castle dinner parties. Mrs.
Henderson had become vegetarian,
and so earnest was she in her endeav-
ors to induce people to believe that
they ought to get along without meat
that she paade a convert of Minister
Wa, who not only cut out meat but
cut out wine also. Afterward he said

a tug and heard a rustling sound,
which turned her completely over, she
was so aStOniShed.
The silk quilt seemed to have lifted
from the bed, and all the bits of gayly
Powered silks and the plain ones as
we'll were old-fashioned gowns-the
styles were in the days of hoopskirts.
One lowered silk gown that seemed
to be more aristocratic than the 9TH
ers was rustling with indignation.

"Was, my dear-was," said a SHIN
mering gown Of silver and blue that
changed as it moved and the candle
light fell upon it. Betty thought she
blew out the light, but as she turned
her eyes from the beautiful dresses
she saw it lighted, standing on the ola
dressing-table.
The soft, silvery blue dress tried
to smooth matters over. "Why should
we get angry because we are called
old-fashioned?' it said.
"You were very beautiful that night
of the big ball, and your flowers are
as bright as the night you danced the
minuet."
This seemed to calm the Powered
dress, and it sighed as it said:
ooh, that was a wonderful dance

to come from the foot of the bed. "Pm

Betty laughed right out loud, it
looked so funny, and then to her sur
prise she saw the sun peeking in
through the shutters. She sat up and
rubbed her eyes. The black border
of the beautiful silk quilt was on the
floor at one side of the bed. She
pulled it up and laughed at her dream
and just then a tap sounded on the
door and Aunt Polly's smiling face

L!..I7 seen IN SUPPLY
OF GAS FROM NATURE
U. S. Mine Bureau Says Output
Is Not InexhauStibIe.

Monroe, LATHE United States
bureau Of mines, having declared that
the natural gas in this country is not
inexhaustible, and that the supply is
dwindling rapidly, persons interested
in conservation of LOuiSiana'S natural
resources are launching campaign
with the object of either putting an
end to the existence of carbon black
plants in this state or at least curbing
their operations.
The north Louisiana gas field is the
largest producing field in the world,
and the wells in the More
house district now are giving UP the
enormous total of 1,3SO,OOOOOO cubic
feet of gas daily for the manufacture
Of carbon black.
Ninety per cent of this gas Is
wasted, it Is claimed, and the con-
servationists have determined to do
something to put a stop to it, if for
no other reason than that industries
in search of cheap fuel hesitate to To-
cate in or near the field for fear the
gas will be exhausted in the near fu-
ture.
The Texas legislature recently re-
fused to enact law which would have
permitted of the establishment Of car
bon black plants in the gas fields now
being developed in that state, and it
Is expected the Louisiana legislature
at it's next session will be called upon
to take steps to remedy the situation
here.
Carbon black is used for many pur-
poses, the best known of which Is in
the manufacture of printers ink. It
Is nothing more than what Is COM
monty known as SCOT, and it's produc-
ton is a simple process. The natural
gas flame Is permitted to burn against
q metal plate, across which q mechani-
cal scraper moves. The carbon, or
SCOT, Is scraped off, falls into con-
veyor and is carried to the packing
room.
Profits from the business are enor-
nous and. any attempt to break it up
is certain to meet with stiff opposi-
ton, as was the case when the Ques-
ton was considered at the state con-
stitutional convention two years ago.
The cost Of drilling and piping q
gas we'll which will produce from TO-
100000 to 2O,OOO,OOO feet of gas daily
is placed at $4,000. Construction Of
a carbon plant capable of producing
$500 pounds of carbon daily requires
100000. The cost of gasoline abb
sorption plant, which will produce from
the gas, as a by-product, from 1900
to 1900 gallons of gasoline daily is
$4,000. The total investment repre-
sents $4,000. ..
