11. The Army Reorganization Bill,
which became a law June 3, 1910, pro
vides that the Government shali fur
nish uniforms clothing, and subsist
ence free to those who attend civil
ian training camps; the provisions of
this law cannot be carried into effect
until such time as Congress shall have
appropriated the necessary funds. The
Army Appropriation Bill now pending
provides $500,000 for this purpose. It
cannot be foreseen when this Bill will
become law. Under the circumstances
it now becomes essential to return to
the conditions originally announced on
March 6, 1916; that is those who at
tend must defray the cost of their
own transportation and subsistence
and pay for their own uniforms. These
are the conditions under which the
camps have been held in previous
years and are the conditions which

6. A deposit cf $30 will be required
on reporting at camp. This sum covers
board, other camp expenses, and in-
tities to keep the price normal; and
also that these agents are still in the
United States, are tacts given to the
United Press today. The British gov
ernment, when it decided in 1915 to
eludes $5 required to be deposited to make cotton contraband, realized that
cover any loss or damage to United
States property; this latter amount is
refunded in case no loss or damage is
ii currcd.
The cost of transportation to nnd
fiom the camps must be borne by the
individual.
Inoculation Not Obligatory
7. It is strongly recommended that
it might cause a panic in the United
States. Felix Rose, who directed the
British plan to prevent this, told to
day how he did it. "We had to de
clare cotton contraband," said he,
"but we wanted to protect the cotton
planters. We knew the speculators
would make capital of the order in
council and drive cotton prices to ruin

8. The instructors are officers of
the Regular Army. Each company will j
have attached to it five non-commis-
divided into companies of infantry
commanded by the officers of the Reg
ular Army. Attendants are on a Cadet
basis.

So the planters received $60,000,000
more for the crop that year than they
would have received in normal times.
'Is the British government ready to
follow with the same action for the
1916 crop?' was asked. "It looks as
if the 1916 crop would be able to sell
itself without British aid." said Rose.
Rose, an English subject, has been in
the cotton business all his life. He
j added in conclusion that every bale of
cotton that has been seized by the
British has been paid for and no
shipper has lost money except pos
sibly on cotton for which he would
have received un exorbitant profit if
he had gotten it to Germany instead
of its being seized by the British.
Every bale seized, he said, has been
sold to spinners in England and not a
single bale remains in storage.

The American men and women must
gunrd constantly against Kidney trouble,
because we eat too much and nil our food
is rich. Our blood is filled with uria
acid which the kidneys strivo to filter
out, they weaken from overwork, become
sluggish; the eliniinative tissues clog and
the result is kidney trouble, bladder
weakness nnd a general decline in health.
When your kidneys feel like lumps of
lead; your back hurts or the urine is
cloudy, full of sediment or vou are
obliged to seek relief two or three times
during the night; if you suffer with sick
headache or dizzy, nervous Bpells, acid
stomach, or you have rheumatism when
thc weather is bad. get from your phar
macist aboil- four ounces of jad Salts;
take a tablespoonful in a glass of
wntor before brenkfast for a few d.ivs
and your kidneys will then act fine.
This famous salta is made from the acid
of grapes and lemon juice, combined with
lithia, and has been used for generations
to Hush nnd stimulate clopged kidnevs;
to neutralize the acids in the urine so it
no longer is a source of irritation, thus i
ending bladder disorders.
.Tad Salta is inexpensive; cannot in- I
jure, makes a delightful effervescent I
Iithia-water bevernge, and belongs in '
every home, because nobody can make
a mistake by having a good kidney flush
ing any time.
