Pillow Cases in Plain Hemmed, Hemstitched Embroidered and Envelope Style PULLAR & NIVEN United States Policy Patterned After to England in Finding Employment for Retiring Army Men, Washington, Aug. caring for of re- —A policy federal soldiers upon tirement to civil life, patterned after that of the British government, which secures employment for enlisted men retiring from the army, has just been inaugurated by the United States. It is announced in a pamphlet issued to- day by Adjutant General McCain ex- plaining how the soldier may take ad- vantage of lucrative offers provided he has demonstrated his efficiency for *civil employment during enlistment. Recruiting officers are named In twenty-three states through whom application may be made for employ- ment. The pamphlet emphasizes the fact that the army offers exceptional advantages to those who desire to fit themselves for almost any line of vo- cational work. It also contains a long list of positions scattered throughout the United States in the filling of which former soldlers will be given preference. Many of these are state ¢r municipal employments at salaries ranging up to $1,800 a year. The list shows the city, the position and the necessary qualifications as reported by recruiting officers who gathered the data. The purpose of ~-the pamphlet is three-fold: To at- tract the best class of recruits, to a abuse the public mind of the impres- sion that the army is a refuge for those unfitted for other employment, and to explain to the soldiers how they may take full advantage of the voca- tional training in the army provided In the reorganizaticn bill recently en- acted ? The booklet is being supplied to alt soldiers and widely distributed through out the country to induce recruiting. ECZEMA ON FACE ITCHING SEVERE Also On Neck. In Pimples. Skin Very'Sore.

The skin was very sore and red and in- flamed and the itching was so sevese that I scratched and frritated tho affected parts. I could not sleep and the trouble caused disfigure- ment for the time being. “I had the trouble three months and I used Salve but it did not seem to do any good. Then I got a cake of Cuticura Soap and a box of Cuticura Ointment and they helped me and after using one cake of Outicura Soap and one box of Ointment I was healed completely.” (Signed) Mrs. J. M.

TEN MILES MADE ON | FIRST DAY OF HIKE First Lap of Sixty Mile March Passes Without Mishap 1C0. T IN GOOD CONDITION Rousing Farewell ¢ en to (-u:/u'dizn\sl of Camp—Sergeant Bigge Decides | He Doesn’t Want to Be a Jockey— Seek Gold in Santa Cruz River. (Special Correspondence by J. F. Connors.) Ten Miles from Aug. 20.—With long hike over and Nogales, Arizona, the first of the hardships ex- day no | perienced, with gold and silver jing: | ling in our jeans and a wonderful trip | promised, a feeling of joy predomin- | ates in every little dog camp that covers the new camp grounds. The men are positive that the new ven- ture into the wilds of Arizona will be the feature since the mobilization at the border. The men were aroused from their cots for the last time in three weeks at 4 a. m., and preparations were im- mediately made to start out on the long anticipated hike. Sharply at 7 the company was off, taking the road that winds over to the pumping station where Company I had done guard duty a few days previous. Al- though the sun played its pranks, all the men stood the brisk gait without any signs of distress. Given Rousing Reception, A rousing farewell was given to the guardians of Camp Little who were compelled to remain behind and watch the camp, as the three Con- necticut Battalion and Machine Gun »mpanies, and the hospital and sup- 4y wagons trailed out of the camp. The companies were four hours on the road and camp was pitched im- mediately on reaching the first des- tination. When :ations had been drawn and appetites partially ap- peased, the men had nothing to do until tomorrow, except secure the mail that Chaplain Berg brought to camp late in the afternoon. When the treasured missives had been per- used the bo: decided to take a “swim”. This section of the country has other w of doing things be- sides using silver cart wheels for currency, among these being the peculiar modus operandi of the wash. No sooner had the men waded in ankle deep into the Santa Cruz than they ceased to concern themselves about their cleanliness instead turning gold seekers. FEach man staked his own sluice and washed for the minute sparkling articles that are sald to exist in the sand. The men might have added 50 cents to the treasury of the company had they been able to devote the entire afternoon to the sport. Men In Good Condition. At inspection Company I had a clean slate from any signs of foot trouble. The New Britain contingent will not have any straggler: Those who remained behind in No- gales were more than wretched and tried their best to come. George Bigge this morning had a smile of the kind that never comes off. The reason for this is while we were trudging along in the road George rode gallantly along on a charger one of the season’s favorites from Mur- phy’s stables. This morning he was voted the luckiest boy in the company but tonight the consensus of opinion has somewhat changed as the men ae not half as lame as the sergeant bugler complains to be. Yesterday was the first time that he ever mount- ed a horse and riding on a spirited steed is quite a strenuous exercise, according to George. Tomorrow it is expected that the companies will make between 12 and 15 miles before pitching camp. An early start will be made so as to he well on our way before the sun makes itself too offenstve for marching. On the road, marching was made easler at times by spirited airs from the fifes of Sergeant Chamberlain and Corporal Barrett, who it is claimed will in time become great musicians from the amount of prac- | tice that these two lads indulge in daily.
