Steps taken to Secure Co-Operation
Between the National Guard
and the Regular Army.
IRRESPONSIBLE STORIES CORRECTED.
Statement Mn.le liy (ion. Corl.in, A<1
jatant General of the Army—The
National (innrd Mnxt he luai.ecteil
and the Results Itnonn Before
New Arms Will he Issncil,
Washington, April 3.—Gen. Corbin,
adjutant general of the army, has
made a terse statement of the steps
which have been taken under the mili
tia law to secure co-operation be
tween the national guard organiza
tion and the regular establishment.
The statement was made by request
to straighten out the many irrespon
sible stories which have been circu
lated as to the plans and intentions
of the department in connection with
the new law. The general said:
“The war college board lias consid
ered the militia law in its every bear
ing. The judge advocate general of
the army has given it consideration.
The board has pointed out the neces
sary details of the work in putting
the law into effect.
“The judge advocate general has
outlined for the secretary of war his
powers under the law. The secretary
has ordered that there shall be in
spection of all the national guard reg
iments. Orders have been sent to the
department commanders for them to
issue the necessary orders to officers
for the inspection details. That is as
far as the department has gone. That
is as far as the department will go at
present. That is far as it is neces
sary to go. There will be no fur
ther steps until these inspections
show clearly the extent of the nation
al guard organizations and the de
gree of their efficiency.-’
Gen. Corbin denies that any steps
lave been taken in the direction of is
suing the new and modern guns for
the militia, lie says it would be man
ifestly absurd to issue guns before
accurate information was at hand as
to the number of men in each com
mand.
Gen. Corbin believes that the in
spections can all be completed by
May' 1. He says there will be at least
one regular army officer as inspector
for every militia regiment. 'JTie in
spections will be held at times and
places which are satisfactory to the
officers and men of I he national
guard.

THE PROFESSOR’S DISCOVERY.
| All His Unmlnff Went for Xaiisht
When tilie Supposed AntUine,
Was Opened.
—
It took the professor a lifetime to master
the intrieacies of the old Egyptian hiero
glyphics. One day he discovered a roll of
papyrus, containing in one place mysterious
marks too faint to be deciphered, says the
New York Sun.
It took the professor a week to find out
that the papyrus was in a double layer
with the mysterious marks in between.
It took the professor another week to
separate the layers of the papyrus without
tearing it.
It took the professor practically no time
at all to read the writing, which ran as
follows:
“My name is Blanche Terwilliger. 1 work I
in McGuire's factory of antiquities at Osh
kosh, Mich. I am a brunette, 18 years
old, and generally considered handsome.
I could make a trusting wife to the right
man and write this note in the hope that
it will fall into the hands of such a man
and so lead to further correspondence.”
It took the professor two hours to yield
the objurgations which he felt the situa
tion demanded.
Did the professor marry the girl?
Thunder, no! The professor was already
married. The idea!
A Farmer's Good Story.
Velpen, lnd., April 6th:—YVm. O’B. Sul
livan, a highly respected farmer of this
place, tells a personal experience to show
that there is still some genuineness and hon
est worth to be met with in this age in which
so many frauds are reported.
"Yes, 1 have been humbugged,” said Mr.
Sullivan, “and when 1 was so ill with the
Rheumatism, Kidney and Heart Trouble, I
used a good deal of stuff that claimed to Ire
remedies for these diseases only to find
them worthless.
"But, as you know, I did find the genuine
remedy after all and 1 had not been taking
Dodd's Kidney Pills very long before I knew
that they were an honest remedy that would
do all and more than was claimed for them.
They cured me, made a well man of me and I
am now as soundfas I ever was.
“ I can testify that Dodd's Ivindev Pills
are a genuine remedy for Rheumatism and
Kidney Trouble.”

MISS HELEN WHITMAN.
Miss Ilelen Whitman, 308)2 Grand avenue, Milwaukee, Wis., writes:
“ There is nothing like Peruna for that tired feeling, which gives
you no ambition for work or play. After a prolonged illness, about
a year ago 1 felt unable to regain my health, but four bottles of Pe
runa made a wonderful change and restored me to perfect health.
i4s long as you keep your blood in good condition you are all right,
and Peruna seems to fill the veins with pure, healthful blood. I
thoroughly endorse it.” MISS HELEN WHITMAN.
Have you got nerves? Well, you
ought to have nerves. Hut they ought
to be strong nerves, good nerves. Does
your hand tremble ? You are living too
fast. Does your heart flutter at times?
You had better call a halt. Americans
live too fast. They crowd too much into
a single day. They have too little lei
sure. The hospitals and insane asylums
are filling up. The quiet, pastoral scenes
of yore are becoming rare. It's time
that we quit this sort of business.
flow to Get Strong Nerves.
First, repair the injury already done
to your nerves. The way to do this is to
do exactly as did Mattie B. Curtis. Sec
retary of Legion of Loyal Women, Hotel
Salem. Boston, Mass. She said in a re
cent letter: “ I suffered for over a year
with general weakness and debility
manifested in severe headache and
backache. I took four bottles of Peru
na, and for two months have been en
tirely free from these maladies.”
Nervous Prostration.
Thousands of cases might be quoted
m which Perunahas been used to rescue
people from the perdition of deranged
nerves, and put them on the good, solid
foundation of health. The County Aud
Tto,r °^r,Ei1e c?unty. New York, Hon.
John W. Neff, in a recent letter written
at Buffalo, New York, stated: “ I was
persuaded by a friend to try a bottle of
your great nerve tonic, Peruna, and the
results were so gratifying that I am
more than pleased to recommend it.”
A Spring Tonic.
Almost everybody needs a tonic in the
spring. Something to brace the nerves,
invigorate the brain and cleanse the
blood. That Peruna will do this is be
yond all question. Everyone who has
tried it has had the same experience as
Mrs. D. W. Timberlalte, of Lynchburg,
Va., who, in a recent letter, made use
of the following words: “ I always
take a dose of Peruna after business
hours, as it is a great thing for the
nerves. There is no better spring tonic,
and I have used about all of them.”
Catarrh in Spring.
The spring is the best time to treat
catarrh. Nature renews herself every
spring. The system is rejuvenated by
spring weather. This renders medicines
more effective. A short course of Pe
runa, assisted by the balmy airof spring,
will cure old, stubborn cases of catarrh
that have resisted treatment for years.
Everybody should have a copy of Dr.
Hartman’s latest book on catarrh. Ad
dress The Peruna Medicine Co., Colum
bus, Ohio.
Mrs. Lulu Larmer, Stoughton, Wis.,
says:
“For two years I suffered with nerv
ous trouble and
stomach disorders
until it seemed
that there was
nothing to me but
a bundle of
nerves. I was
very irritable,
could not sleep,
rest or compose
myself, and was
certainly unfit to
take care of a
household. I took
nerve tonics and
pills without benefit. When I began
taking Peruna I grew steadily better,
my nerves grew stronger, my rest was
no longer fitful, and to-day I consider
myself in perfect health and strength.
My recovery was slow but sure, but I
persevered and was rewarded by per
fect health.”—Mrs. Lulu Larmer.
If you do not derive prompt and satis
factory results from the use of Peruna,
write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a
full statement of your case and he will
be pleased to give you his valuable ad
