0R6 ENOUGH
GEN.
WOOD THINKS ARMY
TOO SMALL.
IS
WEAK SPOTS POINTED OUT
Urges Passage of Volunteer Army
Bill, the Present System Having
Many Defects.
Washington. Major General Wood,
chief of staff, paints a rather gloomy
picture of the lack of preparedness
of the army in case of war, in his
annual report to the secretary of war,
made public Friday.
There were weak spots in many di
rections, he said, and most serious
was the shortage of field artillery
and ammunition, a fault which shouid
be immediately corrected. General
Wood declared there was a great lack
of reserve seacost ammunition and
that, at the present rate of appro
priation by congress, it would take
more than fifty years to obtain a rea
sonable supply of ammunition for the
coast defense and a still longer time
to otain the necessary artillery and
ammunition.
If the regular army and organized
militia at war strength were called
to arms today, said General Wood,
there would be a shortage of more
than 50 per cent in the field artillery
necessary to equip them. This force
would represent only a portion of the
force called to arms in case of war
with a first class power.
General Wood strongly urged the
passage by congress of the pending
bill for raising a volunteer army in
time of war. He said this would cost
nothing in time of peace and would
save the government millions of dol
lars in time of war.
The present law was so unsatisfac
tory and vague that the general staff
could not make preparations in ad
vance for its execution in event of
war.
Other needs of the military service
were set out in the report, including
the addition of filO officers to replace
those detailed from line duties for
staff and militia work; the creation
of a reserve of not less than 300.000
men who have served in the army or
rnilitia; the concentration of the
army in largo posts; the re-establishment
of the canteen and the increase
of the signal corps and the acquisi
tion of aeroplanes.

from the federal government $20,000.
000 for Indians of the five civilized
tribes, were explained by Adams to
the bouse special committee ai
pointed to inquire into contracts
with the Indians. Adams is a Dela
ware Indian, and most of his toi
tracts wore with that tribe. Y.'ere
Adams to collect all his claims, he
would be entitled to a contingent fee
ranging from 10 to 35 per cent. He
estimated that the average fee would

Cannon Back to Washington.
Washington. Philosophic and
,-miling. Speaker Joseph (I. Cannon
returned to Washington Friday.
While mildly deploring the result of
the recent election, in which, he said,
"a majority has made a mistake in
giving our friends, the democrats,
rontrol of the Sixty-second congress."
he added: "With that responsibility
jt remains to be seen what they will
do. I shall be glad if they find them
relves able to redeem their promises
in the campaign, to reduce the cost
of living and increase price of labor."
DOES YOUR BACK ACHE7
Backache Is usually kldneyach.
There is only one way to remore the
pain, you must reach the cause the
kidneys. No better kidney remedy
exists than Doan's
Kidney Pills. They
permanently cure ail
kidney ills.
Mrs. M. C. Morris,
546 Pacific Ave., Ala
meda, Cal., says:
"For twelve years I
suffered from kidney
trouble. My back
ached so intensely I
did not receive one good night's rest.
The kidney secretions were suppressed
and the bladder burned and pained.
Fifteen physicians treated me with
out benefit Then I began using
Doan's Kidney Pills and was relieved
from the first. Continued use cured
me."

AN EFFECTIVE HOME MADE
KIDNEY AND BACKACHE CURE
Easily Prepared Medicine Which Is
Said to Regulate the Kidneys
and End Backache.
To make up enough of the "Dande
lion Mixture" which is claimed to be
a prompt cure for Backache and Kid
ney and Bladder trouble, get from any
good Prescription Pharmacist one-half
ounce fluid extract Dandelion; one
ounce Kargon Compound and three
ounces Compound Syrup of Sarsapa
rilla. Shake well in a bottle and take
In teaspoonful doses after each meal
and again at bedtime.
Those who have tried it say it acts
gently but thoroughly on tho Kidneys
and entire urinary system, relieving
the most severe Backache at once.
A well-known medical authority rec
ommends the prescription to be taken
the moment yon suspect any Kidney,
Bladder or Urinary disorder or feel a
constant dull Backache, or If the urine
Is thick, cloudy, offensive or full of
sediment, irregular of passage or at
tended by a scalding sensation; or for
too frequent urination daring the
night.
This is a real harmless vegetable
mixture which could not cause injury
to anyone and the relief which Is said
to Immediately follow its use Is a rev
elation to men and women who suffer
from Backache, Kidney trouble or any
form of Urinary disorder.
This la surely worth trying, as it is
easily mixed at home or any druggist
will do it for yon, and doesn't cost
Javoca.
