coln. The change made cuts the
service down from daily to three
times a week and eliminates one

For a Persistent Cough
Some years ago. II. P. Burbage, a
student at law in Greenville, S. C,
had been troubled for a long while
with a persistent cough which he says
"greatly alarmed me, causing me to
fear that I was in the first stage of
consumption." Having seen Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy advertised,
he concluded to try it. "I soon felt
a remarkable change and after using
two bottles of the small size was
permanently cured."
Camp Funston, Kas., Dec. 30.
With the fading of the year the final
scenes are being enacted in the his
tory of this cantonment. Through
this camp 450,000 Americans passed
in the process of training foiffc the
world war and here Major General
Leonard Wood labored while three
complete divisions were whipped in
to shape to face the foes of democ
racy. Abandonment and dismant
ling of the cantonment under recent
orders of the war department prob
ably will mean also the turning of
Army City; a civilion municipality on
Its border, into a deserted village.
In the summer of 191S there were as
many as 45,000 men in training
here at one time, but when the or
der to vacate was received 3.900 of
ficers and enlisted men of the Sev
enth division were stationed here.
These are being sentro Camp .Meade.
Md., with the exception of the Eighth
field artillery, which is going to Ha
waii, and the divisional rank corps,
which is destined for Camp Pike.
Arkansas.
Officers hero said today that the
camp will be deserted by' all except
a few hundred caretakers by Janu
ary 15 of the new year.
In case the war department order
i carried out to the letter, the
"junking" of the property, camp of
ficers say, will mean the dismantling
and removal of 1.213 buildings of
all descriptions, built at an outlay of
approximately $15,000,0 00. Kansas
representatives ccngress have pre
sented to the war department numer
ous protests from Kansas organi7a
tions acainst this program. This
sate is particularly concerned in the
"Kansas building," built with S30.
000 raised on popular subscription
and used as a "community center"
by soldiers and visiting relatives.
Canm Funston. occupying S06 of
the 40,000 acres in the Fort Riley
government reservation, was estab
lished early in 1917 and the building
plans inaugurated in June of that
year. The first troops moved in th
following September. It was first a
training camp, then a demobilization
center and of late the station of the
Seventh division.
General Wood was the first com
mandant. Under his supervision th
Eighty-ninth division was trained in
four months, going overseas in May
of 191S. General Wood then was
returned to Funston and trained n
new division the Tenth whie!:
was ready to go when the armistice
was signed. Prior to the assemb
ling of the Eighty-ninth. Gen. J. C.
Winn took the 35th division over
seas from this camp late in 1917.
