A board of officers of the Supply Corps of the Navy convened at the Navy Department last Monday for the purpose of selecting officers of that corps for promotion. The board has been directed to recommend not more than four officers for the rank of cap- the | tain and 12 for the rank of commander. The board will consist of Capts. Joseph Fyfls, Arthur F. Huntington, Ray Spear, John F. Hatch, Edward T. Hoopes, David C. Crowell, Frank T. Watrous and Harold W. Browning. Lieut. Comdr. Thomas E. Hipp will act recorder of the board. A board of officers of the Medical Corps will be convened at the Navy Department shortly to recommend not more than 10 officers o’ that corps for promotion to the rank of captain. Army. ‘The Secretary of War has disapproved the proposal that would authorize pro- motion of officers of the Regular Army upon retirement in recognition of war service, the increased cost of which, it is estimated, would be $1.356,703 dur- ing the 1932 fiscal year. This increase would be further augmented in subse- quent years by the transfer of active officers to the retired list with advanced retired rank and pay. It is impracticable to make an accurate estimate of the amount of this future increase. In the event such a proposal would be enacted into law, 79 per cent of the officers now on the active list of the Regular Army would become en- titled to advanced pay and rank on re- tirement. This includes practically all those now in the grades from colonel to captain, inclusive: 71 per cent of the first lieutenants and 3 per cent of the second lieutenants. Two thousand three hundred and twenty-eight of the 2,525 officers now on the retired list of the Army would be granted the pay of , either with or without the opposition to this proposal is that it would immediately increase the cost of the Regular Army retired list by ap- [)roxl.mluly 15 per cent, with a larger indeterminate increase to follow. ‘The annual physical examination re- ports of approximately 60 per cent of the commissioned and warrant officer personnel of the Regular ‘Army have been received by the War Department. Within the next two months, however, it is expected that the bulk of these reports will be in the hands of the War Department. ‘The board of medical officers who New Discovery Reaches Cause of Stomach Gas Gets to Root of Trouble in 30 Minutes As a result of studies made at a famous Lon- don hospital, doctors found that most stom- ach and bowel trouble was due to just one cause—Intestinal Sta- sis. Intestinal Stasis means the tco slow movement of waste food matter through | the intestinal eanal or bowels. Due to intestinal weakness this waste mat- ter remains too long, ferments and forms gas and poisons, and is the real cause of sour stomach, indigestion and | gas bloating. A person may have in- | testinal stasis even though the bowels move every day, the evacuations being | only partial. Action on BOTH Bowels Ordinary pills or laxatives seldom | overcome intestinal stasis. Soda, mag- nesia or “gas tablets” Ylve only tem- porary relief. Intestinal stasis can be helped most effectively by proper in- | testinal cleansing and by increasing | the natural activity of the bowel tract. | " 'Dr. Carl Weschcke, in his private | practice, first perfected the intestinal | cleanser and prophylactic known as | Adlerika. It 18 a compound of Sal | Amarum, the saline intestinal evacuant | found in famous health springs of Eu- '15¢ rope, with the vegetable bowel tonics cascara and buckthorn, together with glycerin and other inmgredients. Most remedies act on lower bowel only, but Adlerika acts on BOTH upper and lower bowel. Amazing Quick Benefit Even the FIRST spoontul of Adler- || | ika brings out surprising old poisonous matter which you never would believe || was in your system. Many, who for years have had constipation, nervous ||| dyspepsia, headache, bad sleep, sour stomach and gas bloating, have quit taking soda, magnesia, pills and other make-shifts, and have gone to the bottom of their trouble by taking Adlerika. | Adlerika acts gently because it con- tains no aloes, senna, calomel or harmful narcotics. A dose once a week guards against intestinal stasis. Get Adlerika today: in a few hours you'll feel the amazing cleansing effect of this German doctor’s remedy. Sold by leading druggists.
