The Question of Volunteers.
It will be easier to obtain volunteers
{or service against Spain than to deter-
.1nine how to use them' says the Phila-
delphia Times. The delay in the pas-
sage of a military bill in Congress is
due to. antagonistic views upon the 01‘-
ganization of volunteer regiments. The
\rVar Department ofiicials would prefer,
first, a temporary increase of the regular
army byrufilling up the existing skeleton
to a maximum strength, and secondly
the enlistment of volunteers, as a
“provisional army,” in full regiments
11.911 officers commissioned by the
l'aited States. Officers of the National
1“ .1ard in the several States prefer, 0n
1 1e other hand, that the State organiz‘
;-.i:IOIlS be called into the field as they
are, with such additional enlistments
asmay be required to fill their ranks,
logically contending that the effective
strength so laboriously built up and
brought under discipline in the last
twenty, years ought not to be disre-
garded.
But there are obvious difficulties in
the way of this. In the first place there
is the legal difficulty. The authority
of the President 01' of Congress to em-
ploy the organized militia 0f the States,
as such, for operations outside the
country is questioned, and the prob-
ability is that the States will be called
upon. for volunteers.

It is plain that a practical plan must

The system developed during the civil
war worked well and would seem to
require but little modification now.
The organization of volunteer regi—

totheir quota. When a State furnish-

There is a great hurrah in the talk
regarding howquickly we can defeat

period of battle will mean sorrow to
some homes that. are now happy.
Chafing dish suppers very frequently

How T0 rmnour.
Fill a bottle or common glass with
urine and let it stand twenty-four
home; a sediment or settling indicates
an unhealthy condition of the kidneys,
When urine stains linen it is evidence
of kidney trouble. T00 frequent desire
to urinate or pain in the back, is also
convincing proof that thekidneys and
bladder are out of order.
WHAT TO DO.
There' Is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer’ s
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy
fulfills every wish 1n relieving pain in
the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and
every part of the urinary passages. It
corrects inability to hold urine and
scalding pain in passing it, or bad ef-
fects following use of liquor, wine or
beer. and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to get up
many times during the night to urin-
ate. The mild and the extraordinary
effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized.
It stands the highest for its wonderful
cures of the most distressing cases. If
you need a medicine you should have
the best. Sold by druggists, price fifty
cents and one dollar. You may have a
sample bottle and pamphlet both sent
free by mail upon receipt of three two-
cent stamps to cover cost of postage 0n
