SERVICE INJURED

BY LOW ST General Garlington Says That There Are Too Many Officers Away. HE SCORES A FIELD TEST INSPECTOR GENERAL IS ALSO OF THE OPINION THAT A PREMIUM OF $2 SHOULD BE GIVEN EACH RECRUIT. Washington, Oct, 25. "There la general complaint from all directions," says Inspector General Garlington In his annual report to the secretary of war, "that the service Is more or less crippled, especially In general Instruction, discipline and efficency, as well as In target practice, by reason of the large percentage of officers constantly absent from their commands, by detail or otherwise." Gen. Garlington does not Indicate how the situation may be remedied in the absence of hope for an increased number of commissioned officers, beyond the suggestion that it would be wise to study with scrupulous care the question of detached service, and to differentiate between duty which tends to the efficiency of the army as a fighting force, and that which concerns interests more or less closely related to the army. To the latter class he assigns details to the militia, to civil Institutions of learning and to the Panama canal. Inspection Most Complete. Gen. Garlington says that the inspection of the military establishment by the Inspector general's department during the past year was more complete than In any year since the Spanish war. "It is believed," says he, "that the army is greatly in need of increase of the infantry and field artillery and reorganization of the cavalry. Legislation to this end would, no doubt, be facilitated by quartering the troops where they' would come closely in contact with the people. This may be the more rapidly accomplished by abandoning isolated posts as rapidly as may be practicable and stationing the troops in thickly settled communities and keeping them at their stations for longer periods. Details on extra and special duty are largely accountable for the large percentage of absenteeism from drills and other military Instruction. The remedy for this would seem to be a service corps, as recommended in my last annual report. Standard Not High Enough. "The practical instruction of the troops as a whole during the past year seems to have been worthy tjf commendation, yet the standard attained In field training and general efficiency as a mobile force, is not altogether what it should be. Tests made by Inspection indicate that both officers and men are deficient in tactical instruction and that the standard reached is not what we have a right to expect on account of the increasing number of graduates of the service schools, the attention enjoined by the orders of the war department to this subdivision of instruction, and the high grade of intelligence of our troops." According to the inspector general many officers of practical experience believe that the requirement that field , officers undergo a riding or walking ' test once a year does not serve the main puropse of keeping them in good physical condition. Gen. Garlington expressed the opinion that a scheme requiring each officer to take exercise AFTER Cured by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound Marlton. XJ.-I feel that LvdiaE.

A CROSS-EYED GIRL

"I see no evidence to show that our teeth are deteriorating to an alarming extent with the growth of civilization," he declared, and he pointed out that an even larger proportion of diseased teeth had been found among Egyptian and Roman remains than existed at present. "Tobacco has an injurious effect on the digestion," he went on, "but I d not think that nicotine has any more effect on the teeth than alcohol. -But tobacco certainly blackens the teeth and so causes many persons who are careful of their -personal appearance to brush their teeth more often than they would otherwise do." He had found cod liver oil amazingly successful in promoting the growth of teeth in children, and be recommended the toothbrush drill as part of the curriculum of schools. Dr. Thompson also urged the practice of washing the teeth after meals and rubbing them twice a day, and particularly the last thing at night London MaiL TO CURE A COLD IN ONE DAY Take LAXATIVE BROMO Quinine Tablets.

If you choose the

of resfiect shown by union men toward the union cause. The union member who talks against the union and slanders Its officers keeps many an honest worker out of the movement. The prejudiced nonunionlst may be one whose prejudice was created In the manner just Indicated, or he may be prejudiced by education along narrow lines or by youthful environments. lie knows even less than the Ignorant, because, being entirely Ignorant of the history, achievements and purposes of the union movement, he thinks be knows it all. He may be a nonunionlst by choice because of some personal difference or to spite some one. Ills view of the field of industry is wholly distorted. In his exaggerated opinion of bis own Individual importance and of his superior rights be sometimes becomes a scab. In which case he not only In Jures bis fellows, but himself as well. and can find his sole reward in the title of "industrial hero" conferred on him and his kind by that eminent authority on union and industrial matters, ex-President Eliot of Harvard. But in these days of schools and publications the Ignorant and prejudiced nonunionists are not so. numerous as to be dangerous. It were far better for them and for the movement If they were good union members; but. as ignorant and prejudice are dispelled by that broad Intelligence born of the association in unions of many men of many minds and spread through the various Industries from man to man, the ignorant and prejudiced are far outnumbered by the indifferent. The Indifferent nonunionlst is simply so mucb driftwood floating with the tide. He accepts conditions as be finds them and makes no effort to improve them.- He will neither exert himself to better himself nor will he give even bis passive support to the efforts of others. Tbe only thing ho can do is to growl. He growls at the Job. the boss, the union and himself. Occasionally be Is swept into tbe union when the rising tide engulfs ths place where be happens to be employed. Such benefits as come to him as s result of union effort be accepts ss a matter of course, never giving credit to any one and especially not to tbe union. And such union benefits do come to the nonunionists of all classes. It Is readily admitted that If unions did not exist wage earners would be working for less than half their present wages. This Includes nonunionists as well as unionists. The first effect of a union Is to tend to protect existing wages against reduction. In this insurance nonunionists reap s benefit, though they contribute nothing. Labor travels to the points where the highest wages are paid, and when wages are forced up at one point competing points often have to advance wages to keep labor from going to the higher paid point In this case the nonunionlst does not usually reap so largo sn advantage as the unionist, but be gets an Indirect benefit from the union struggle, for which he contributes nothing, and these benefits and. others more oc less
