Attention to details In equipping
new arrivals for strenuous training Is
cloning the .Mention f t:e 3,000
officers rt the camp.. Quarantine,
jracrin.tlon and inoculation consume
ik firat three weeks but even this
does not p-evrnt preliminary drills
and Instruction. Tho new men are all
placed in tents while serving the qua
rantine limitations and this affords
an enterestlnn If not ptotafftsj exper
ienosto men accustomed to all of the
home conven'ences. The oool,nutum
al nights makes the presence of
Warm blankets very congenial and
tented life is doing its part as far rb
tbe hardening process is concerned.
JJejr barracks are being erected
from time to time and those afford
a great improvement over tents when
onoe the restrictions are removed.
Officials announcement from Was
hington gives the details of the pro
posed enlargement of the camp in
keeping with the contract recently
let to Welts Sons. The buildings in
cludes eleven officers quarters
thirty six moss halls, forty nine lav
totiea eleven adrainstrative buildings
eight medical Infirmaries, three
guard houses, three post exchanges,
twelve storehouses, one fire station,
eleven wagon Bheds, eleven stables,
seven hundred barracks. Total cost
will be 12,835,210. Major Louis
M. Lang of Seattle, constructing
quartermaster. Is here and prepared
to ruBh the work. He expect to have
the 700 buildings completed within
two months. A force of 15,00 men
will be put at work on the new
addition just as soon as the number,
which is now on the way, arrives.
Men just brought in to camp will
will be quartered In the new addition
thus doing away with the necessity
of tents. Three thousand fret of rail
road track, connecting the site of the
new addition with the interurban
have ahead been laid. Putting up
700 buildlnns in two months is a
mere trifle to the apgresslve bin
contract from the Pacific coast. He
built Camp lewis, Washington
state, consisting of 1,827 buildings
in fiftyseveu days. Major Lang has
bad considerable army experience,
having been with the national guard
a number of year! and having par
ticipated in the Spanish war.

Orders have been received to im

who cannot ue. or understand the
English language. The order directs,
that organisation commanders, re
port to headquarters the number of
soldiers In their respective comman
ds who have not a sufficient know

The orders says these men are to b;
clsasfied by the mother tongue into
separate groupes or squads. The
order at the same tin.e directs that
organization commanders submit a
report showing the number of of
ficers who can speak languages
other than English and who are qual

uages the enlisted men so separat

who could not speak English have

To Increase (PigeoA sound.)
The pigeon squad will be increas
ed fhortly with tho arrival of a
dot en trained homer pigeons which
will be used in the training of
"green" birds. The necessity of
having a larger group of pigeons
was emphbsised in word from over
sas that plgeonB are the "last
word" In carrying communications.
The trained squad now consists of
twelve men who are putting the
greenlea through their paces so they
wBl be able to fly with their mesa
a whoa aont overseas. The traing
of tiieni Is largely a p:'oces of
simple patience In the develop
ment of the birds Intelligence,
memory and phyr.ical powers. At
the statt. the pi; eon in tak. n a half
a mile from Its loft, ind. In com
pany with Its older m;.tes, hns to
find its way back. Next day the dis
tant is Increased to a mile or three
miles, and so on. After a time the
onngster is released ("tossed" is
the word pigeon trainers use) alone
and made to rely on Its own re
sources to find its way home.
When the distance becomes great
er, above seventy miles, the
bird Is given two days' rest be
tween its flights, and, as Its flights
become longer, its trainer begins to
keep an eye on the weather, for
promising youngsters i re not risk
ed against an adverse gale or when
the weather Is so thick that they
cannot recognize the surroundings
of their loftB. Fully trained, hom
ing (or mring) pigeons are ablo Id
cover 250 v.lles at a flight, or even
more. Ninety seven per cent of tne
message; a tit by the pigeon post in
Frarce, itnvc, an unbelievc.bly high
figure when one sets over against
li the number of enemies (besides
Herman soldiers and aviators) to
which these mild little birds are ex
posed. Building Vp New Unit.

Camp Dodge Were transferred Wed

bothers you.
The American men sad women must
Crd constantly against Kidney trouble,
mum we eat too much and all our food
is rieh. Our blood is filled with urio
acid which the kidneys strive to filter
out, thy weaken from overwork, become
sluggish ; the eliminative tissues clog and
the result is kidney trouble, bladder
weakness and a general decline in health.
When your kidneys feel like lumps of
lead; your back hurts or the urine is
cloudy, full of sediment or you are
obliged to seek relief two or three times
daring the night; if you suffer with sick
headache or dizzy, nervous spells, acid
atomach, or you have rheumatism when
the weather is bad, get from your phar
macist about four ounces of J ad Salts;
take a tablespoonful in a glass of
I water before breakfast for a few days
. nd your kidneys will then act fine.

While there nre no epidemices at

at that there are many nick men.
To take fhirty or forty men away
from comfortable homes and subject
them to tent experiences and barrack
inconveniences naturally cause many
cases of sickness. The base hospital
