Government Attempting to Pre
vent Demoralization of Lumber
:f Market; Camp Lewis to Stay.
. Wahinston, Jan. 31 WAShlNOTON
BUREAU OP THE JOURNAL) The
army still has on hanfl from 225.000,000
to 250.000.000 feet of uncut lumber ac
cording to a statement of General R. C.
Marshall of the quartermasters depart
ment to the house committee- on appro
priations a few days ago.
- General Marshall says that care Is
helng taken not to demoralize the lum
ber market In salvaging this lumber,
' Which had been assembled at camps and
depots at the time hostilities ceased and
construction was stopped.' Effort is being
made to sell the lumber-ata not less than
DO per cent of its value. This decision
vras only recently reached, and no sales
have yet been reportd. '
Used lumber .Being Sold
..- Ued lumber and other materials at
the camps where the national guard
troops formerly were quartered is being
sold as fast as advantageous offers arte
received. General - Marshall said. For
jCarap Greene, near Charlotte, N. C, fo
example, the dpartmnt has been offered
954,000. This offer does not include the
clearing of the land or assumption of
damages, and the department is not sure
that It could come out even on this offer.
- General March, chief of staff, stated
,.inat is considered desirable to buy
the "land at 14 cantonments, where na
tional' army troops have been trained.
'There are 18 cantonments in all, but the
government already has the land at
Camp Lewis., Wash., and Camp Funston,
Kan. General March believed the gov
ernment would be the gainer by buying
the. land and taking its time to salvage
materials at cantonments not perma
nently retained, "because the claims for
damages in some instances actually ex
. ceed the price at which the camps can
be purchased.
' ITew Army Planned For
.-, Explaining that the army authorities
are counting upon a permanent army of
00,000 men. General March said that
the problem of housing is solved by the
s of the existing cantonments. The
wooden structures will serve the purpose
.tor u. iuxig tuna iu uumc, lie nd m.
"The purpose of . the department, he
. , aid, is to abandon the tent campaand
to retain the most of the cantonments,
lie failed to indicate what cantonment
will be abandoned, but said that all 16
will not be needed. The department is
also asking at the present time for the
purchase of land and construction of
three new artillery cantonments, one in
North Carolina, one in Kentucky and one
ln Georgia.
General March gave positive assurance
that the department will retain Camp I
Lewis, which Tacoma people have been j
nervous about. He said:
i f "We have a large camp at Camp Lewis
which Is actually occupied by troops
Of course if this measure goes through
congress (the 500.000 army bill), and if
congress allows us to have 500,000 men,
which consist of five corps of 20 dlvl-

I have gained 35 pounds since I be

said. Mrs. P. L. Emery, who lives at 253

days ago.
, ''fjf entire nervous system had been
in terrible condition for about 28
years," she continued, "and nobody will
ever know how much I suffered during
that time. I shudder when I look back
and. think of the misery I went through,
and especially the many sleepless nights.
I can hardly remember a single night

until I had lost 45 pounds. The last five
or six months I was almost helpless and
waa not able to do any of my house
work. .
My husband brought home a bottle of
Tanlac one day and told me to take it.
I thought I would try it and see if it
was any different from the rest we had
been' throwing money away on. After
all the trouble I had gone through with
I had in idea that there was a medicine
In the world that could possibly help me
like Tanlac did. My appetite is Just fine
