of the country where soldiers may not be conveniently and advantageously quartered. Much less money might have been used in improving posts already in existence and with much better results. "The money expended in building army post since the Spanish-Ameri-war," said Mr. Hemenway, "would have been amply sufflcient to equip and maintain an elegant suite of rooms for each soldier in the serA large part of this money was expended at points where troops can not be conveniently located. If the

been built at extreme northern points where forage sells at a high price and

the locations are such that it would be difficult to get troops from these places to probable places of mobiliin case occasion should arise for military activity." It is the opinion of Mr. Hemenway that money could have been expendmuch more adventageously by imarmy posts more centrally losuch those at Chicago, Indiand other central points. The maintenance of the forestry serhas increased in the last four years to enormous figures, Mr. Hemenways points out. The expense of

maintaining this service in 1910 will amount to $5,000,000. A few years ago it was only a few hundred thou-

sands of dollars. Traveling expenses alone in the forestry service for 1910 will reach $300,000. In fact the apfor the expenses of the

government generally have increased comparatively far more rapidly than

the population has increased. According to the new plan the comon expenditures of the senate will inspect each appropriation bill

As a result it has not always been known just what the total was that as appropriated for any one purpose. It will be Mr. Hemenway's duty to see to it that

there are no such duplications in the future and that the senate has a clear idea of just how much money it is appropriating for any given purpose. The entire appropriation for any one purpose will be contained in one bill. He is also to discover and report all possible places where decreases in the appropriations may be made without damage to any branch of service. Mr. Hemenway said that he did not think the deliberations of congress on the tariff question would be combefore the middle of June. He said he had been busy with his own work and had not had time to give much attention to the tariff. He reto venture an opinion as to what would be the outcome of the work on the tariff bill.

A Most Valuable Agent. The glycerine employed in Dr. Pierce's medicines greatly enhances the medicinal properties which it extracts from native medicinal roots and holds in solution much better than alcohol would. It also possesses medicinal properties of its own, being a valuable demulcent, nutritive, antiseptic and antiferment. It adds greatly to the efficacy of the Black CherryBloodroot, Golden Seal root, Stone root and Queen's root, contained in "Golden Medical Discovery " in subduing chronic, or lingering coughs, bronchial, throat and lung affections, for all of which these agents are recommended by standmedical authorities. In all cases where there is a wasting away of flesh, loss of appetite, with weak stomach, as in the early stages of conthere can be no doubt that glyas a valuable nutritive and aids the Golden Seal root, Stone root, Queers root and Black Cherrybark in promoting digestion and building up the flesh and strength, controlling the cough and bringing about a healthy condition of the whole system. Of course, it must not be expected to work miracles. It will not cure consumption except in its earlier stages. It will cure very severe, obsti-hang-on, chronic coughs, bronchia and laryngeal troubles, and chronic sore throat with hoarseness. In acute coughs it is not so effective. It is in the lingering hang-on coughs, or those of long standing, even when accompanied by bleeding from lungs, that it has performed its most marvelous cures. Prof. Finley Ellingwood, M.
