A bllll for that purpose ta now being drafted and will be pre sented to Congress If the Board of Director, of the Aaaoclatlon approves ,v.,. n,mi meet ng In January. MT I IIKII UIIIIU'H --- This Rifle Asclatlton occupies the siittti' 1'oxltlnn; twnrd rtilo ifractlco In this country Ilmt the Niitlonnl III tie Association of (irent Ilrltain does In thnt country, except thnt our Associa tion lias received no attpport from the trovcriinii'tit nnd comparatively little from Individuals. William Waldorf Aator gave the British Association $r,0,000 In one gift. The National Rllle Association of this country has been looking f'r some American to do like wise, but has fulled to find him so far. The Wnr Department has notified the Adjutant General of Missouri thnt the renting of grounds for target ran ges, or of grounds or bulldlnga, for shooting galleries, together with the expenses necessarily attending their adaption for the above purposes, can properly he paid from the State's al lotment under the recent net of Con gress Increasing the Militia appropri ation, nnd under the order of the Sec retary of War. The Niitlonnl Board has noted with pleasure the prepress made In training the police of different cities to use their revolvers for the encouragement of revolver shooting. It comeR within thn purview of the Board, nnd several police officers have shot In the Na tional Pistol match. The good work of the Washington police force, large ly composed of ex-soldlerR nnd mn- rlnea, him been previously referred to, along with that of the Cincinnati po lice. The latest conies from Roches ter, New Yorlj The cltf decently spent several thousand aonars in equipping the police with revolvers of a uniform make, nnd was right proud of Its venture until It developed that only a few of the policemen knew how to shoot, One cnptnln admlttod thnt he had never fired a revolver, nnd one of the sergeants failed to hit a target In ten shots, so It Is reported. This opened the eyes of the pole commis sioner who W sld to have declared that he will never promote another man who cannot shoot. The regula tions now prescribe a rating of ten per cent for skill with the revolver and every candidate for promotion Is required to qualify by making at least twenty out of a possible fifty or he Is barred from the written examinations. When other cities follow Rochester's example there will be less shooting of the "Innocent bystanders." A good Idea comes from Michigan, where there has been a great spread of the Interest In rifle practice. Ma ny new rllle clubs are being formed In that State, and are securing a lim ited number of the government Krags through the ordnance department of the Army The proposition la to have an Indoor shoot between teams repre senting tho signal corps of Tpslantl and Co. I, First Infantry, of Ann Ar bor, at which the prizes, Instead of the usual medals or trophies, will be annuity subscriptions to 'tha seiven leading military and ride publications of this country These . publications will be on filo in the reading room of the winning team. So Interested have they become In rlflo practice In Detroit thnt the Mich igan State Rifle Association, has loaned one of its Krags to a shooting gallery In Detroit, whose proprietor hns fitted up a spcclul 75-foot gallery for military rllle practice nnd will give free Instructions In Its use. This Is said to be the first commercial rllle gallery In the United States to pro vide facilities for practicing with the national weapon. How to retain the Interest ot expert rllle shots In the the sport, Is a ques tion that has often been discussed. In writing to the National Board for the Promotion of Rllle Practice, nn ac tive organizer of clvllllnn rifle clubs says that this can best bo done by the organization of citizens rifle clubs. Many expert riflemen leave the army nnd militia nnd drop out of sight. If they hnd an opportunity to Join a ri fle club where they would get the use of government rifles, a range and am munition to which they were accus tomed, they would be glad to keep In practice and the tlmo spent in train ing them originally would not be lost. "This proved the case In Detroit a few weeks ago" says the Board's cor respondent. "wheh we Porfmed the Detroit RItle and Revolver Club. Just such men read of the formation of the club in the papers and half a doz en or more applied for membership. Among them were two from the Can adian service who retain their Inter est in shooting and who will make ex cellent instructors when they get a range." While one department of the army seeks a uniform which renders the wearer as nearly as possible Invisible at a short distance, another branch Is training the soldiers to sight this col or nnd shoot nt it, thus approaching battle conditions. To this end the ordnnnce department has supplied targets of olive drab for skirmish runs, and they will be tested at sever al poRts. In the skirmish firing there are two figures, one representing a man kneeling and the other a man prone, with only the head and shoul ders showing. The result of the tests will be awaited with Interest. The Navy will shortly issue orders providing for an Increase In pay, for expert marksmen In the Marine Corps placing them on a footing with the expert marksmen of the army. As the Marine Corps has no ranges it projioses to arrange with the! Ba; State, New York State and New Jer sey State Rifle Associations to allow the marines to shoot on the range near Boston, at Creedmore, New York, and at Sea Girt, New Jersey. The ma rines at Portsmouthj. Boston and j Newport, wilt use the Boston range, those nt New York will go to Creed- j moor, nnd those at League Island to j Sea Girt. The marines at Washing- , ton and Annapolis will probably use j the range nt Williamsburg, Virginia.

Y., writes: "Before I started to use Foley's Kidney Cure I had to get up from twelve to twenty times a night, and I was all bloated up with dropsy and my eyesight was so Impaired that I could scarcely see one of my fam ily across the room. I had given up hope of living, when a friend recom mended Foley's Kidney Cure. One BO cent bottle worked wonders and be fore I had taken the third bottle the dropsy had gone, as well as all other symptoms of Brlght's Disease." T. F.
