Washington, Nov. 20. -Following Is
tho tentative scheme of army reor
ganization: The marine corps, Sec
retary Long insists, shall be expanded
from about 0,000 to 10,000 and the
latest proposition is to enlist 15,000
Filipino natives. The plan to utilizo
the native Filipinos has been hit upon
in order, if possible, to relievo the
pressure for American troops in the
Philippines. The president hiiH also,
it is said, received Information re
garding the operation of the army in
tho Philippines which demonstrates
the fact that the American soldier
In handicapped by the weight of his
equipment nnd ammunition, which
makes It impossible for such troops
to chase bands of half-naked natives,
acquainted with the country and im
mune from tropical fevers.
Army ofllcers Insist that the only
proper way to fight the native is by
putting natives against natives. With
a Filipino force of this magnitude,
It is also thought the president can
retain nt home a larger part of tho
regulars to man the garrisons and in
crease the service ot the various coast
defense stations. Jt Is declared there
nro not enough artillerymen, and, as
a consequence, the artillery and other
material are fast falling into decay.
Chairman Hull talks about an "accor
dion army," which can be minimized
to 0,000 or expanded to 100,000, at the
pleasure of the president. Tho dem
ocrats will oppose this on the ground
that the proposition is a "blind" and
has for its chief purpose tho fixing
of a minimum of standard never be
fore dreamed of.

And Its Origin
The nbovo nltiKiilnr combination In the trado-mnrlc ndoptcd by tho Paris Modlclnt
Company ot St. Louis and In used in their advertisements of Grove's TastclcM Chill Tonlo.
To tho many peoplo who may bo lntcroatod to know tho origin of this odd trado-mark, th
following Information in given:
In tho nprlng of 1893, tho Httlo two yenr old son of Mr. E. W. Orovo was taken qulto sick
with malaria. Mr. Orovo, knowing tbovirtuoof his own medicine, commenced giving him
Qrovo's TastelcHS Chill Tonic. Ho had taken this prescription only a few days until quito
n favorablo clinngo was noted, in fact, ho grow ho rosy, healthy nnd plump, that Mrs. Orovo .
in dcHorlbltig his condition to her husband, remarked " Grove's Tonlo makes our baby as fat .
n.i a pig". This led Mr. Orovo to thinking that tho expression "as fat as pigs" used In con
nection with babies, was a very common one, and suggested to him tho Idea of combining iv.
child's faco with a pig's body, with wording as above, " Orovo's Toulc makes children as fat -ns
pigs". It is an attractive trade-mark, and tho romedy It represents Orovo's Tonic is
regarded by tho public as being tho very best prescription for Malaria, Chills and Fever.
Tho record of tho Paris Medicine Company shows that Nino Thousand gross Ninoty cor
loads of Orovo's Tonlo have been sold this year from Jan. 1st, 1000, nnd as "orders nro truly
a good Index of n medicine's worth" noonocan doubt tho virtue of Orovo's Tonic. Druggists

Mendvillc, Pa., Nov. 20, 1000. (Spe
cial. y'he Loyalty of the Members of "
the Brotherhood of Locomotive En
gineers is proverbial. A circumstance
occurred in. this city some days ago,
which emphasizes this feeling.
Frank J. Zeller is Chief of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineer.
No. 143. He is extremely popular
among his fellow railway men, audi
one of the best known Engineers run
ning out of Meadville. When the an
nouncement was made a short time
ngo thnt Frank was pretty sick, it
caused a great deal of regret among
the boys. Soon he was missed from,
his engine, having had to "lay off"
on account of his back. A brother of '
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi
neers, who had been ill with similar
symptoms, some time before, and who
had been pulled through, cnlled to seo
Mr. Zellcr, and In a brotherly way,
took with him a box of Dodd's Kidney
Pills, the Remedy which had cured;
him. He advised Mr. Zeller to try
them, with the result that after seven
boxes had been used, he was entirely
well, and able to work.
In an interview Mr. Zellcr states:
"I had suffered for four yenrs with
this aflliction, being often kept awako
at night with pains, nnd nt times un
able to work. I tried several of tho
ndvertiscd remedies, nnd found that
they did me no earthly good. Finally,
a member ot our Order, who hnd been
cured of Kidney Disease by Dodd's.
Kidney Pills brought me a box, nnd
asked me to try them. I hnd little
faith in them, but ns a drowning mnru
grasps at a straw to help him, so I'
took the Pills. I used seven boxes,
nnd nm to-dny as well and strong ti
man us there is in Pennsylvania."
Naturally, Mr. Zeller feels very
grateful, and his complete recovery
hns delighted his many friends, and
none more than tho good Brother,
who feels that he was instrumental
in .saving the life of the Chief.
