J Major Ebsutn Is In a better position to speak on tha aubject than anyoaa alas In New Tork CTty. A veteran of many Indian conflicts and a man who- rendered great service ta his country in tha Span, Ish-Amerloaa war, he has alwaya been particularly Interested In tha men la tha bands ot tha army. He has had oppor tunity to witness their conduct tn avery kind of emergency, and tha result of hi experience forms Interesting testimony of tha existence among all c lasers of player f the him spirit which animated the heroic eight who went down in tha White VMMla r -- "Far from dastrlneT to eeoepe n Usee art dancer, tha army musician is apt to resort to extraordinary measures u (at on the field of battle,' said Major a-b-stein. "One of tha most remarkable In stances ft this occurred la the Spaalsh. American war. when the members of. tha Twenty-first Infantry band begged in vain" 10' be taken to the. front of the flghtthii and when the chance was offl. elaJhri denied them, resorted to atretef to get Ihlo tha fray. . r , . Major Ebetein recounted a story of tie . heroin of. the thirty-two men who. at the time of tha eutbresk ot, hostllltlee wltH Bpain, constituted the most famau band- of musician In tha United State eervice. Tha Trenty-first infantry band was tha favorite musloal organlaailon of x resident McKlnley. He conceived the Idea of having a collection of army mil. sir Ian wha should be famous throughout tha country, and, gathering tha bast bm In the service together, be secured E. a. Clarke, a man noted a a player and leader, to leave a famous private erganl aatiaa to enter the United Stains army. Clark took hold of the muatdan and railed their technique to the very htyn- est atanderd. Oa ta the Front. In eon sequence of the partiality which was (hewn them, to regular eo Idlers to the Twenty-first grew rather jealous of their band, and even before war i deolarad sretost Spain they were called "oof fee coolers." an army term signify lng (omathlaa worse than tin soldiers. was, the intervention in Cuba waa announced a laud laugh went up from the infantrymen, whs assumed that the musicians would be put tn their place and that fighting men would at last coma into their own. The band was ordered to accompany the regiment to Tampa, bat each day they stayed there they ware foroed to put op with the good-natared flkas of the rest of the regiment. , "Well," said sergeant to K. O. Clarke, "we'll soon be leaving yoa ' behuvi. ' There'll be bullet whistling around to make musto for us aad we wont need any tin bom er baas drums." Xb this they reckoned without the spirit t ot Mr Clarke. . In a lengthy aperleoae ' aj a rmislrian he had always proven capav hi ot rising to an emergency, sod, call ing hi asm facet ker, he said: "Bays, ths crowd thinks that we aren't etna to gat a snail of real powdar ' arnoka.

"If I sent a telegram to a cartel party tn waatimrton tonight I wouldn't a sur prised if I could set a batch of rifles one for every nana sta. If they aeaae owa bare will ye be wIlonaT ta put ra some hour of quiet drill la order to learn ho to use them?' . ' DrtllUa- ae tha ate. There was a general about of assent, and that night Mr. Clark sent hi tele gram and on the aazt trsla thirty-two bright and efficient looking Krags ar rived. ' They were carefully .no wrapped and distributed. But. tearing that some bitch might eocur it the plana f the band were knows ta the Immediate con trol ot the Twenty-ftrat, the presence sal the faraerm was kept secret.

"There are also thirty-two member f the Twenty-fir Infantry band, wh ask me to Inform you that they are armed and ready for service." . y Captain Gtlaxore 41idn't hesitate for an instant, but Jotted down a note la hi pad. "Who's hi charge!" he snapped out, "Mr. Clark, a cirUlaa." was the reply. "Ordered that th Twenty-first Infantry band leave It leader aad tnstrument be hind and Join the regiment In . camp," said Captain Oilmora.

Foundation of Health As health talk to woman become more general,' both la the newspapers and oa th platform, th mass of women are Ve- glnnlng to re ails what the more culti vated have always known, that good health cannot be found ia a powder hex. The external of health may be obtained In that way, but the basis ef health Ilea deeper, and yet la just as easily obtained. The moat important thing that a wo man can do for herself, and about which she Is often most neglectful, Is to wstch the oonditloB of her stomach and boweta.

A brief use of It will so train the stomach and bowel muscles that all forms of medicine can be din Denied with.
