01 ARMY
Strength of War of Ameri
can Government
The danger of wrr in the Orient io
which the United St ilea -may play an
important part creates new interest in
the strength of the American army.
The army in the active service as
now organized under the act of con
gress of February 2. 1901, compiises 15
regimeats of cavalry, 750 officers and
12,728 enlisted men; an artillery corps
consisting of 3o batteries of field artil
lery and 126 companies of coast artil
lery, 651 officers and 17,762 enlisted
men; TO regiments of infantry, 1500
officers and 25.193 enlisted men; three
0?tal!ions of engineers, 1290 enlisted
men, com uanded by officers detailed
from the corps o ( engineers: ihe staff
corps, including signal service, militarv
academy, Indian scouts, etc., besides
the officers, 3412 enlisted men. There
is also a provisional force consisting of
one regiment in Porto Rico, 29 officers
and 551 native enlisted men, and 50
oompa-ies of native scouts in the
Philipp nes, 116 officers and about
5,000 men, The total number of com
missioned offict rs on the staff and line
January 1, 1906. was 3856, and the total
en'Uted trength of the staff and line,
60,385 exc'usive of the provisional
force and hospital corps.
The law provides that the the presi
dent can recruit the army up to 100,000
men the maximum limit. This would
be done by increasing the number o
enlisted men in each company. For in
stance, a full company of infantry under
the present regulations contain 65 en
listed men. Under the law. if the
pres;d -nt deems an emergency exis's,
he can increase the number to IO5.
With the army recruited up to the
limit, the infantry, always the strong,

Wrtfi Irritating Skin Humor? Whole
Body Affected ? Scalp Itched All

Out? Wonderful Result From
APPLICATION OF
CUTICURA F
"I am never without Cuticura Soap
j and Cuticura Ointment since I tried
them last summer. About the latter
part of July my whole body began to
itch. I did not take much notice of it
at first, but it began to get worse all the
time, and then I began to get uneasy
and tried all kinds of baths and other
remedies that were recommended for
I skin humors; but I became worse all
the time. Mv hair began to fall out and
my sc?Lp itched all the time. Espe- i
cially at night, just as soon as I would
get in bed and get warm, my whole body t
\Vould begin to itch and my finger naife |
woidd keep it irritated, and it was not 1
lt>ng Ignore I could not rest night or day. j
j A friend asked me to try the Cuticura j
| Remedies, and I did, and the first appli- j
1 cation helped me wonderfully. For i
j about four weeks I would take a hot
| bath even' night and then applv tho j
Cuticura Ointment to my whole body;
and I kept getting better, and bv the .
time I used four boxes of Cuticura I was
entirely cured, and my hair stopped
falling out, but I continue to use the
Cuticura on my scalp. It keeps all dan
druff out and scalp is always clean. I j
always use Cuticura Ointment on my ;
face after shaving, and have found
nothing to equal it. I will never be I
without it." D.E. Blankenship,
