The United States Public Health Service very pertinently asks: Do yon think dog muzzling cruel, and then marvel at the spread of rabies?

Do yon go camping for your health and then place your toilet so that it drains into your water supply? Victory for Cardui. In the case tried hy the United States Court at Chicago recently the jury returned a verdict in favor of the makers of Cardui, the woman's tonic, and held the American Medi cal Journal guilty of libel for pub lishing that Cardui is a nostrum without merit. In short, the United States Court has placed the seal of i approval upon the remedy after one C tho most exhaustive trials in the 1 istory of the country. *"yv11 Chattanooga," says tho 1am ilton County Herald, of that city, "will rejoice, and the verdict will at tract nation-wide attention." - - Your Bowels Should Move, Once a Ruy.

Tho appropriations for prepared ness, as they now stand, are as fol lows: Army, $313,970,447.10, Xavy. $ 316,826,843.65. Fortifications** ( passed), $25,748, ono. Military academy. $2,218,328.57.

Washington, July 28.-In reply to a complaint from Mrs. Henry Smith, of Winamac, I lid., who has a son in the National Guard. President Wil son wrote to-day that the Guard was being kept on the Mexican border to protect tile country, not for drill. His letter was made public because many communications similar to that of Mrs. Smith were being received and to answer criticism that the men uf the National Guard are uot being properly cared for. The President's letter follows: "Your letter of July 2'.i distresses me a good deal, because it shows that you have not been correctly informed as to the purpose of having the Na tional Guard at the border. It is not for the purpose of drill, but for thc purpose of protecting the country. The service the men are performing there is an honor to them and a ne cessity to the United States. I can not believe that tho men in the Na tional Guard would wish to be ex cused from lt, or would lose heart he cause of the discomforts and incon veniences of the service. "The War Department bas the camps on the border under the most careful inspection and is using every means known to make them sanitary and safe against disease. The health record of the men on the border, both the regulars and the National Guardsmen, is exceptionally good. "I would not. have you think that I do not sympathize with your dis tress in the absence of your son, but I beg that you will take these larger matters into consideration." Many Seek Helca.se.

These sol diers are being sent to the Russian front. It is said that already 100, 000 of her army of occupation In Ser bia have been sent to Galicia. The maximum number of reserves that can be put into the field ls estimated at about 400,000. Another reason for closing the frontier is to prevent news from get ting out of the Empire. Owing to the news created by the Russian vic tories disorders have been breaking out in many towns. Severo Wind Storm at Helton. .

New York, July 24.-June records for postal savings deposits were eclipsed last month when a net in crease of more than $3,800,000 was rolled up, quadrupling the net in crease for June, 1915. The gains were general throughout the coun try, notably in the smaller industrial centers. Postmasters attributed their increase, it was said, to thc country-wide prosperity of wage earners and to the legislation of May 2 last, which increased the limit on deposits from $100 to $1,000 a month. On June 30 there were 7,701 post offices accepting deposits In the Uni ted States, Alaska, Porto Rico and Hawaii. The number of depositors approximated 603,000, with $86, 000.000 standing to their credit.
