OFFICERS UP AND DOWNS
Rapid changes in rank of officers
who served in the Civil War were
common, both upward and downward
especially among those in the Union
Army, many of whom reached high
rank during the war, only to be set
back at its close.
A notable instance was that ol
Lieutenant General Samuel B. M
Young, who died a few months ago at
the age of S4. Enlisting as a private
in 1861, he rose to the rank of briga
dier general in 1865, and was mus
tered out as such, at the age of 25.
The following year he accepted an
appointment in the regular army as a
second lieutenant, which was about
the biggest drop on record.
Rut Young remained a second lieu
tenant only two months, when he was
jumped up to captain, there to stick
for 17 years before being made a ma
jor. Finally, however, the reached
the highest rank in the army, becom
ing a lieutenant general in 1903 and
retiring in 1904.
He was succeeded by Lieutenant
General Adna R. Chaffee, who al
so began his military career as a pri
vate, but in the regular Army. These
are the only two officers to go from
the lowest to the highest rank of theii
day.
General Young upon retirement pre
sented General Chaffee with a pair
of shoulder straps with this note:
“Private S. M. B. Young, 12th Penn
sylvania Infantry, presents Private
Adna R. Chaffee, 6th U. S. Cavalry
with this pair of lieutenant 'general’s
shoulder straps.”
Wembley Exhibition Gets
In Shape to Repeal
Last Year’s Success
(By Associated Press)
LONDON, Mar. 26.— (AP).—It is
the intention of the authorities tc
make the Wembley Exhibition ol
1925 far better than that of 3924.
“From the day it opens during
the first week of May,” said Sii
Travers Clarke recently, “we are
going to make the British Empire
Exhibition go with a swing.” The
new Wembley will be much more
a social center than last year, he
added, and provincial districts are
already planning for a greater in
vasion of London. It is hoped, how
ever, that the steamship companies
that are now arranging tourist ex
cursions to the United States and
other countries, will reverse the
procedure later and bring visitors
from those lands to Wembley.

Craze for Bobbing Hair
Brings Jobs to Women
LONDON, Mar. 26.—(AP).—T h e
women and girls of England are be
ing absorbed back into industry far
more quickly than the men and boys
according to recent statistics on un
employment. Hair dressing, owing
to the bobbed hair craze, lias given
, employment to a large number of
i young women who earn better wages
' than the men barbers because of
the extra charges made for trimming
bobbed locks. Men in London pay
approximately 25 cents lor a hair
. cut, while women pay double that
amout.
Last spring there were 300,000 wo
men among the unemployed of Gt.
Britain, while today the number is
something like 250,000. Although
about 1,000,000 extra women and
girls are now at work compared with
the figures of the year before the
beginning of the war, women and
i girls together do not represent one
quarter of the total number of un
employed. Government officials say
there is every indication that the
number of unemployed, both men
and women, will be greatly reduced
during this year.

Food Habits Undermine
British Race, Says Dr.
LONDON, Mar. 26— (AP).—T h e
food habits of the people of Great
j Britain have been growing steadily
* worse for the last 150 years and con
sequently undermining the beauty
and physical fitness of the race, ac
cording to Lieutenant-Colonel Rob
ert McCarrison of the Indian Medi
cal Service. His contention is that
people here do not get the neces
I sary amount of vitamines in their
food and without vitamines the nor
! tnal chemical action of the body
| cannot properly proceed. He advo
| cates the eating of whplemeal, green
j vegetables and fruit and the drink
ing of milk.
Colonel McCarrison said not long
ago lie traveled all through Great
Britain, but while he saw the beauty
; of the English countryside he did
j not see much beauty in the Eng
lish race. That was partly explain
ed by the fact that he did not see
Woman Fooled Two Men Until One
Was Charged with Bigamy and
Investigation Was Made.
WASHINGTON, Pa., Mar. 26.—
How a wife kept her two husbands
in tlie same home has been told in
court at Washington, Pa.
The woman, Mrs. James Livings
tone, already had one husband when
she decided to become the wife of
Frank Scruggs, according to the
story. Posing as Miss Pearl Haines,
she was married to Scruggs.
The woman took her second hus
band to her home, telling her first
husband that he was merely a
boarder. At the same time she
told Scruggs that the first husband
was only a boarder in the home.
The men were employed on differ
ent shifts at a mill, so they were
not aware of the trick.
Then Scruggs was arrested on a
charge of bigamy. In court he told
how he was the husband of the wo
man. Livingstone, also in court, was
• pointed out as the boarder. An in
vestigation was made, and then both
men discovered that they had been
duped.

BACK GIVES OUT?

Then Follow the Advice of A
Resident of this Locality.
Are you dragging along day after
day with a dull, nagging backache?
I Do you feel tired, lame and achy;
| sutler sharp, torturing pains at every
sudden move? Then look to your kid
Jncys! Colds, strains and overwork
weaken the kidneys and bring on
throbbing backache and knife-like
twinges. Don’t risk serious kidney
disease! Use Doan’s Pills—a stimu
lant diuretic to the kidneys. Read
what a resident of this locality says:
Martin Varela, 466a Paris St., San
'Francisco, Cal., says: "My back
I didn’t permit me to lift because it
1 was sore and lame and took all 11
| could do to keep going. As I bent, j
it seemed as though my kidneys j
were being pierced with a knife. I
had to get up at night to pass the
kidney secretions and they burned
and were often heavily laden with
sediment. Doan’s Pills curedvme.”

simply ask for a kidney remedy—get
Doan’s Pills—the same that Mr.
Valera had. Foster-Milburn Co.,

Uncle Sam Sets Up Radio Station,
Sends Out Code Call, and Then
Seizes Boats That Answer It.
SAN FRANdSCO, Cal., Mar. 26
Radio, used by Canadian bootleggers
to get their liquor safely to Ameri
can shores, has been used by the
United States government to cap
ture two big rum running ships and
liquor worth $3,500,000 at San Fran
cisco, Cal.
Heads of the rum running organi
zation established radio stations
along the Pacific coast. In a secret
code, the rum runners were warned
when government ships were near
and were told when to approach
shore and unload.
Government experts deciphered
the code and established radio sta
tions of their own. Officers took up
stations so near the bootleg radio
plants that no messages could be
sent in safety. Then the govern
ment by radio told the bootleggers
to approach the shore.
Twice the trick was worked, and
twice government boats were on
hand. Two ships were captured, li
quor worth $3,500,000 was found on
them, and several arrests were also
made.

Spirit of Former Tenant Has Re
turned to Keep Things Tidy.
RICE LAKE, Wis., Mar. 26.—r
ghost which scrflbs floors and bake
dainty biscuits is exciting all tlw
people of this little hamlet of Wis
consin. The ghost has been at work
; in the home of Mr. and Mrs. John

; vouches for the stories told abou "*
; the strange visitor.
Mr. and Mrs. Kubis says the ghost

That was enough. The Kubis fam

at night.
Neighbors of the family declare th
