CALDWELL’S THREE RULES <WP— n—iiwim.mA Dr. Caldwell watched the results of constipation for ,47 years, and believed that no matter how careful people are of their health, diet and exercise, constipation will occur from time to time. Os next importance, then, is how to treat it when it comes. Dr. Caldwell always was in favor of getting as close to nature as possible, hence his remedy for constipation is a mild vegetable compound, ft can not harm the most delicate system and is not habit forming. The Doctor never did approve of drastic physics and purges. He did not believe they were good for human beings to put into their system. Use Syrup Pepsin for yourself and members of the family in constipation, biliousness, sour and crampy stomach, bad breath, no appetite, headaches, and to break up fevers and colds.

Army Reserve Taught by Mail

Military “Unnrewity” Gives Three Hundret# Courses in Correspondence System. Washington.—The American prmy, which has done many jobs of different kinds in the last century and* a half, faces today another big assignment. It must provide professors and instructors for a student body of more than KM**!. Reports reaching Wash Ington from various corps area com Blunders show that the enrollment this year in the correspondence courses which the array conducts for citizen soldiers will exceed that number. giving the army a good claim to conducting the largest university in the world. | Business men, bankers, college students. lawyers, doctors, dentists, clergymen, engineers—men Id almost every occupation-tare represented in this army university. Though the students pay no tuition and thougn tiie work they do brings no addition to their pay checks, they show great ; diligence and willingness to study. In the fiscal year that s ended on June 13. the 35.000 students under instruction by the army faculty completed in alb Bss).<Kil> hours of work. With an enrollment of s.<X*> more than this, the current year should bring this total well over TOO.IKHI hours. Training for Reserves. After the World war the United Stages found itself with a small regular army again, a National Guard, and a third and new component of the military establishment, the organized reserves. Uncle Sam provided the regular and the National Guardsmen with facilities for professional training. but the reservist, in a sense, found himself a fish out of water. The regular army had to find away of training him. apart from the 15-day active training period which congress was willing to give a limited number of reserve officers each year. In 15)22 the army put into operation its first correspondence courses, which claimed to give reservists and others a chance to keep up with the military profession. At the outset plans were made for an enrollment of s.lH*i ofti cers. Even that number seemed formidable The plan was successful from the start. How successful it has proved may be judged by the fact that the student body In five years has grown from 5.000 to 35.000. What does it cost Uncle Sam to give this instruction? So little that In comparison with the four billions that are required to run the government the appropriation looks like small change. The annual cost is about $40,000. and this includes the distribution and printing of texts, printing of lessons, maps. etc. Extensive System Operated. The courses they prepare each year are substantially the same as are given to regular officers who pass a year at the various service schools. To regular officers the army offers an extensive system of schools grading upward from West Point through the special service schools of the va- , rious branches at Fort Sill. Fort Ri- | ley. Camp Benning and elsewhere to the command and general staff school ' at Fort Leavenworth. The Army War college, in Washington, which trains officers for duty on the general staff, stands at the peak of the army edui cational system. * Only those who graduate with dis i tinction from the lower schools are eligible to take the course here, and —! i

FRENCH SEERESS * PREDICTS YEAR OF GREAT AGITATION

Madame Fraya Gazes In Her Crystal Ball and Sees Much Trouble Ahead. Paris.—The year 1929 will be marked by the death of a king, by the passing of two very important French political personages and two world famous men of letters, and enough airplane, mine, railroad, and steamship accidents to keep the newspapers supplied with front-page news. All that was apparent In the crystal ball to Madame Fraya, the French prophet, who has become famous ever since she predicted a year ago the tragic death of the Belgian million-aire-banker, Alfred Loewenstein. “The new year will be one of great agitation.'’ Madame Fraya said. “France particularly will suffer because m-im utpn are hungry for p«w <•» nt FretiU -h hi net will

<s> its graduates have as much right to feel proud of their academic careers as those who win a Ph. D degree from Uolumbia or Cornell. School work bulks large in the peace-time routine of the regular army. The officer of today finds himself a schoolboy much of the time. He la constantly studying the theoretical aspects of the mllltaTy profession. Soldiering, on the other hand. Is not the main business in life of 110,000 reserve officers and the 10.000 officers of the National Guard. For fifteen days a year they may be soldiers and. in the case of the National Guardsman. an evening or two a week. Their main job is a civilian one. The educational training and opportunities open to the regular officers are not open to them—unless they are to neglect their professional w«>*-k Hence the War department had to Had a method hy which if could give the reservist enough instruction to keep him prepared to fill his military assignment it the country should need his services First Steps In 1924. in April, 15)24, the War department appointed a board of officers to pre pare co-ordinated of correspondence courses for all branches and for a command and general staff correspondence course. As soon as the chief of staff approved the report of this board, a correspondence course section was established at each of the special service schools. Each section was told to prepare and keep on revising—when necessary—the material for the course. In addition, a conference was to be held onct a year in order that army officers, detailed as students, might become familiar with the purposes, methods and organization of the s.vs fern of army correspondence courses. Tiie War department also issues a pamphlet oi instruction to authors, setting forth what is believed to he the best methods for correspondence instruction os they have been adapted to the special conditions of army and reserve training. Criticism Met. “The courses are serving their purpose,” declared Lieut. Col. Arthur J. Klein, who had charge of the establishment of the correspondence system. “when an officer takes but a single subcourse or studies only the one aspect of the work in which he is interested. Criticism of the .correspondence work, on the ground that few officers finistr the entire courses, arises from failure to understand this basic fact. If the correspondence courses were such that all officers would complete an entire course, the content of the course, would have to t>e so simple and inept that they would have practically no value in training for active service.” If one-half the reserve or National Guard officers complete the course in which they have enrolled, the record will compare very favorably with that of the chief civilian universities Os each 1,000 students who enter American colleges and universities, only 717 reach sophomore year. 538 answer present when the roll is called junior year and only 322 finally receive their sheepskins. Less than half of the students who enter American high schools are graduated. By comparison, the army has reason to be proud of the tenacity of its pupils. All Branches Represented. The program ot instruction lists about 400 subcourses. Not all of these are given each year, but most of them

In which France will be involved, but I see no bloodshed. “Living will become more and more dear, but business will be bad There will be an unusual number of failures f among small merchants.

0 I Millionaires* Deaths | Aid British Treasury | London. — Mortality among A British millionaires was undnly ¥ heavy last year but while re- * grettable on several counts, the i unusually heavy toll provided © considerable relief to the ex- i chequer. Death duties In 1927 ❖ produced $150,000,000, whereas X $300,000,000 was yielded In the last nine months of 1928. A The estate of Sir George ¥ Wills, tobacco magnate was A probated at $50,000,000 and ¥ yielded to the treasury $20,000.- $ $ 000 duty. This with nine other ¥ $ large estates paid nearly SSO,- ¥ 000.000 In taxation. X «• v are. Every branch of service appropriate courses. Infantry, field lery, military intelligences, coast artillery engineers, air service, chaplains, quartermasters and other arms of the service—all have instruction to offer the reservist in their special fields. I Topping all is the command and gen- j era! staff course, which is open only to ; those who have completed the ad- i vanced course in their arm. or who held field rank during the World war. j This course, which requires for its completion in all 500 hours, aims to fit the reserve officer for staff duty in time of war. It shows how a division is operated and handled, how a commander reaches his decisions, what are the problems in transport, supply. I etc., involved in maneuvering large bodies of troops. Map problems play an important part nere. as they do In the advanced course generally. The students move armies, issue bat- 1 tie orders, outline the plans oi the j commanding officers. If there are still things they have to know hefore they can actually command troops in the field, they have gone far toward completing the military education of a staff officer. Promotion Plan Revised. Recently the War department has revised the regulations governing the promotion of reserve officers. Henceforth. to keep certificate of eligibility, a reserve officer must do a certain amount of work during the five-year period his commission is in force. He may till the requirements in -part by active duty training, hy correspondence course work and by conferences with military men. The correspondence courses offer the readiest means to fill the requirements. Henceforth, too. a man must complete one subcourse a year if he is to keep his enrollment in the correspondence school. These requirements will, 1 it is felt, increase the number of enrollments in the future. Army officers believe the correspondence school system Is in its infancy. Each year, they believe, will see a greater interest and better instruction, and within two years they expect an annual enrollment of 50,000. Tide Power Milij Built Century Ago Still Runs East Boothbay, ’ Maine.—The proposed tide power project in Passa- : maquoddy bay could not excite won- ! derment among the residents of East Boothbay because a tide power mill has been in operation here for more than a century. In 1826 4’aleb Hodgdon ot Westport had a vision when be viewed the 40acre tidal pond at the mouth of the Darnariseotta river. He saw that it was a natural storehouse, with its very narrow outlet into the sea. So he built a mill that has endured all these years, has always been owned in the Hodgdon family and has always derived its powers from the tital waters held in the basin.

Her bank account has been materially fattened. “Hundreds of American women are among my visitors.” Madame Fraya said recently. “Like ail women, they want N to know about love affairs. But while French women need to love. Americans need to be loved. American women, in general, are the luckies.t in the world. They bring good for- , tune to those they love most.” Weight Brings Trouble New York.—Mrs. Hannah R.

PH i _ 'EARLY BIRD GETS RICH EGG RATION February Chicks Should Make Rapid Growth. Leghorn chicks hatched in JFebruary should be fed rations that make for continual rapid growth, is the advice offered by the poultry department of the New Jersey Agricultural college. Pullets from early hatched chicks 1 i cannot be expected to produce a prof- ! itable number of eggs during the sum- j ' mer and fall, if their growth is stunt- : ed in any manner. Any good baby j ; chick ration will prove satisfactory j | until the birds are eight or ten weeks ; old. After that date, the specialists j i advise that they be placed upon a raI tion similar to a good laying ration, but containing a larger amount of I minerals. To have the bird come into . production as soon as possible and at | the same time have iter continue her I body growth is the poultryman’s aim. j No matter how they are fed, Febj ruary batched birds can always be ! J expected to go through a moult in the j j late fail. They can use this period j ! for any increase in weight or growth ; ; that has not been accomplished pre- j : viously. One must remember that an early ! ' hatched bird is an entirely different | | individual from a late hatched bird, j i The later hatches should have a much j j slower development in order to pre- j | vent an, early winter moult, but with I the early hatched stock the aim is to get all of tiie eggs possible before the early winter moult. Feed Turkey Breeders for Vigorous Poults | Too much corn in the turkey's win- j ter ration may make the birds too fat j for the production of eggs of high | hatchability. Some breeders feed 3 parts of. oats to 1 of corn and find that the stock come through the win- j ter in condition to produce vigorous poults. Equal parts of corn, wheat and oats make a good grain ration I for turkey breeding stock. The addition of cull vegetables, and alfalfa or clover is necessary until the turkeys can forage in the spring. | Before the turkey hens begin to lay, j it often pays to give them a hopper | of the same balanced laying mash i which is used for the chickens. Where they have had nothing but grain they may be reluctant to eat the mash but 1 if It is kept before them, some of the mash will probably be eaten and It will help to improve egg production and keep up the vigor of the’ turkey j. hens while they are laying. Keep a hopper of oyster shells before the turkey hens to help in producing firm j shells on the eggs and reduce break- i ! age in the nests. Feeding the turkey breeding stock’ j on soil away from the chickens is a ! help in preventing blackhead and oth- j er turkey diseases. Diseases are often ! spread through the medium of the j droppings which have contaminated j the feed. Some losses may be pre- ; vented by feeding both the grain and the mash in hoppers so that none of the feed will touch soil which might be contaminated with disease. It pays to rid hens, of worms. • * * One w’ater fountain is needed to each 25 chicks. •* * , A hot. stuffy brooder house is as undesirable for chicks as it is for the attendant. • * • Cod liver oil isn’t just a fad. It helps to remedy the lack of sunshine and green feed at this time of year. * * • If there were losses from bacillary white diarrhea last year it is not safe to use infertile eggs for the young poultry this spring unless the eggs are so well cooked or baked that all bacilli are destroyed. * * • Warm water is fine for hens in cold ! weather. A safely-heated water fountain will return several times its cost in eggs. • • » If the litter gets damp in a short time it means poor ventilation —and then there’s danger of roup. A straw ; loft overhead will help. * • • It pays to study your flock and make tiie birds like you. Doubters may laugh, but hens will lay better for a caretaker that they know well and are glad to see. * * * * It Is not considered good practice to take breeding cockerels from the same brood from which you get your pullets. • • • It is said that if alfalfa hay is used for hens’ nests and scattered around the chicken coops the chicken mites will beat a hasty retreat * * * Protein derived from animal sources, such as meat products and milk, is of greater value to the hen than protein from vegetable feeds, such as cottonseed and linseed. • * * No part of the ration for chickens Is more vital than certain minerals. The chicken has a very high mineral requirement as compared to most other species of animals and disaster is sure to follow if adequate minerals are not provided. • * • The standard weight for matured toms of the Bronze turkey variety Is 36 pounds and for the hens 20 pounds.
