Inquiry at the War Department re sulted in confirmation of the view ex pressed by the Suffragist. It was said there that the provision of the act to which attention is called in the Suf fragist was to be interpreted in the literal way in which it is construed by that publication. The provision of the act reads as follows: Provision* of Act "If for any reason there shall not be enough volunteer enlistments to keep the reserve battalions (of organized militia )at the prescribed strength, a sufficient number of the unorganized militia shall be called into the service of the IJnlted States to maintain each of such battalions at the proper strength.-. Under the Dick Militia law of 1905 the unorganized militia is defined ns composed of all able-bodied persons be tween the ages of 18 and 45 years. That law provided that such persons coula be called into the service for the pur poses set forth in the Federal Constitu tion "to execute the laws of the Union, suppress insurrection and repel inva sions." Under the provision of the new National Defense law, as It la lntet- Bringing Up Father <JJ) Copyright, 1916, International News Service m # # By McManusi — ■ • - TOO S>NX "TOO UKC T \> 1 ■ RNCt-TIME.

The Administration has not resorted to this authority to fill the ranks of militia regiments that are still held in State mobilization camps because they have not been recruited to the minimum strength required by the War Depart ment. Since the Mexican situation be came less acute, National Guard re cruiting has fallen off in a i. uked degree. But should the danger of Hos tilities with Mexico again become acute the President would have the right to fill up the ranks of militia or ganizations by drafting. Calls It n Joker The Suffragist in its issue calls the provision of the National Defense act a "Joker" and points to it as introduo- Ing "a startling chango into our mili tary regulations." It acknowledges that throughout American history Congress has empowered the President to draft citizens into the army aftei war had been declared, but contends that the enactment in the National De fense act is a new departure "in time of profound peace." The Suffragist takes the ground that the action of Congress was improper because no opportunity was given to the women of the country to express themselves in the matter and that it reveals to them "their pitiable political helplessness." There has never been any doubt of the right of the President to draft the militia for the purposes set forth in the.constitution, but it was regarded as necessary at the time of the Mexican crisis last June to enact a special Joint resolution in which Congress expressed the "opinion" that "an emergency now exists which demands the use of troops in addition to the regular army of the United States" and the President was authorized by the resolution to draft into the Federal service "any and ail members of the National Guard and of the organized militia of the several States, Terrtiories and the District of Columbia and any and all members of the National Guard and organized mlli- tla reserves to serve for the period of the emergency, not exceeding three years, unless sooner discharged." The provisions of this enactment have never been taken advantage of by the Government. It is held at the War Department that a specific order or other act of the President is necessary to draft the National Guard and organ ized militia into the Federal servicw and that this course will not be adopted by the President unless it becomes nec essary to send the guard organizations into Mexico, the resolution having been construed as giving the President au thority to employ the State organiza tions outside the territorial boundaries of the Union. The National Guard or ganizations now on the border or held under Government orders in State mob ilization camps were mustered into ser vice under the authority contained in the Constitution. It Is believed hero that there is.no likelihood that even if the Mexican situation should assume a phase that yould require more troops the Administration would resort to th Defense act. The Government still fav ors the principle of voluntary enlist ment. Fourth of Harvard and Yale Men Fail to Marry Cambridge, Mass., Sept.2 9.—Twenty two to 25 per cent, of the men grad uated from Harvard and Tale In forty years havo not married, according to statistics compiled by John C. Phillips, a Harvard graduate. Moreover, Mr. Phillips has ascertained that of the number who did marry 19 to 23 per cent, of them are childless. The averago number of children per married graduate Is two and per grad uate Is one. President Elliot, of Har vard, discussing one of the causes for (lecreaso of families, declares that It Is "a preference on the part of both men and women for freedom from care and responsibility and for passing pleas ures rather than solid satisfaction." UARRISBURG TELEGRAPH GUNNERY GOOD, NAVY TESTS SHOW Atlantic Fleet Making Remark able Record, Especially With Heavy Rifles Washington, D. C., Sept. 29.—Pri vate advices from commissioned of ficers In the Atlantic fleet show-that much of the criticism that has been directed at the United States Navy because of its failure in the past to hit targets with shells from big guns will be eliminated by the results of the battle practice now coming to a close. It is learned that exceptionally good results have been obtained by shooting at such small targets as obsolete tor pedoboats at comparatively long ranges, and during the recent maneu vers it was officially reported that the Pennsylvania, with a broadside of twelve guns, hit a target with five shells at a range of eleven Bea miles. Officials of the Navy Department hear that the Utah, steaming at full speed, hit one of four obsolete torpedoboats with the third shot at a range of four miles. In a few minutes one enrt of the target started down, the stern rose and the vessel p'.unged to the bottom. When Assistant Secretary of the Navy Roosevelt heard of the tests he said that he had suggested a much more difficult type. "I have proposed to several officers," he said, "that instead of anchoring obsolete vessels to be shot at, we get up a good head of steam and start them directly toward the battleships. As soon as the obsolete vessels are under way the crews can abandon them. The targets con make twenty or twenty-two knots an hour, so it would be a real test for the battleships to figure out their range and sink them, especially in night practice. "Some officers disapprove on the ground that it would be dangerous to attempt to get the crews off. but they could leave the torpodoboats just as soon as the ships had been started toward the battleships. As it is now, it is impossible to tow a target faster than six or eight miles an hour." A FUNNY ADDITION SUM How many apples did Adam and Eve eat? Some say Eve 8 and Adam 2—a total of 10 only. Now we figure the thing far different ly: Eve 8 and Adam 8 also—total 16. We think the above figures are en tirely wrong. If Eve 8 and Adam 82, certainly the total will be 90. Scientific men, however, on the strength of the theory that the ante diluvians were a race of giants, reason something like this: Eve 81 and Adam 82—total 163. Wrong again. What could be clearer than If Eve 81 and Adam 812 the total .was 893? 1 believe the following to be the true solution: Eve 814 Adam and Adam 8124 Eve—B93B. Still another calculation is as fol lows: If Eve 814 Adam, Adam 81242 oblige Eve—total 82,056.

Druggist Tells How to Cure the Liquor Habit at Home Free Prescription Can Be Filled At Any Drug Store and Given Secretly H. J. Brown, 409 West Superior Ave., Cleveland, Ohio, was lor many years a confirmed drunkard. His friends and relatives despaired of ever redeeming hiri. His sister sought the best medi cal men in Europe in the hope that she might find something which would cure him. Finally she was recommended to an eminent chemist who gave her a private formula (the same as appears below) and told her how to use it. She had It filled at the drug store and gave It to him secretly. The results were start ling. In a few weeks he was com pletely cured That was over eight years asro and he has not touched a drop since. He now occupies a position of trust and Is enthusiastic in his ef forts to help others overcome the liquor habit. He feels that he can best do this by making public the same for mula which cured him. Here 13 the prescription: Go to any first class drug store and get 14 Tescum powders. Drop one powder twice a day, In coffee, tea put in to help buy the chandelier?" "Not a cent will I waste in such a manner," replied the old gentleman. "If you all needed it, things might be different, but I dare say if we had had one there's not a young lady in town could play on it." The Christian Herald. SPECIALTIES IX "CHICKS" Farm and Fireside tells of an egg farmer who has worked out a unique plan. It says: "Another egg farmer with 1,000 layers worked out a plan of supplying from 100 to 200 baby chicks of his or any liquid. It Is harmless, taste less, odorless and cannot be detected. You can use it without the knowledge or anyone. A lady who recently tried it on her husband reports: "My hus band was on a spree when I grot the powders, and he usually stays drunk from three to four weeks at a time After putting the powder in his coffee for four days, he sobered up and has not taken a drink since and says he is through with it forever. lie also com plained that whisky did not taste the same.

In the contract It was agreed that no other breed of chickens should be kept on any farm where the pure bred chickens were established, and also that no male birds should be kept on their farms. The eggs from these 1,000 or more hens in the neighbor hood flocks were bought at a stipu lated price and collected three times a week, and were used to help supply his special egg and poultry trade. This plan is proving more satisfac tory than carrying a stock of several thousands hens on his own farm." 17
