SINGING SOLDIERS.
A Landon paper notes that during
the recent Austrian maneuvers the
general in command tried the original
experiment of using the singing of
sours on a means of ascertaining
the whereabouts of the different
companies of the corps d'armec. rte
commanded each battalion of a den
seat to learn a curtain song of war
and sing it when attacked. In this
way he was enabled to ditscover, when
some distance off, which battalion
was being attacked by the enemy. The
songs consisted of old folk -songs
familiar to the men. To each bat-
talion was attacliecl n few musicians
and drummers, who assisted the singe

The tontine ravages caused by en

all events, give a fair trial to any
alleged remedy, baelced by medical au-

The tale told by Dr,Gordon Bennett,
of Halifax, N.S., upsets that theory,
Dr, Bennett, who is now in London,
dsolares that he, has for many months
past vainly urged the War Office au-
thornier to try his fever oure,which
has proved eminently successful, ho
assorts in Halifax and, Chicago.
"In the early part al last year,"
atiid Dr. Bennett to a representative
of the London Express, "seeing that
the British troops in South Africa
were "(lying like rotten sheep oe en-
terie, I wrote to the War Office that;
I had discovered a cure which I was,

in London about two months waiting
to see what the War Office would do.
Finding there was no result he re-
turned home.
"On my son s return I wrote to the
National Eclectic Medical Association
of Chicago, asking them to give my
cure a trial. As a resultof this, I de-
livered an address before the associa-
tion at Atlantic City; where a meeting
of the body was being' held, and sub-
sequently gave a practical illustration
of the cure at the, great Cook Coun-
ty Hospital at Chicago."
Dr, Bonnett then produced aparch-
ment address bearing the signatures
of .the warden and eighteen .members
of the staff and stating that"through
the courtesy of Dr. ,Bennett his fever
cure has been fn uaa in this hospital
for rho past two weeks, and we'have
used it with sufficient success to give
us confidence in the remedies as a
cure and preventive far fevers."
After' this Dr. Bennett came toEng"
land, but he declares that, though he
gave them the formula when they
asked for it, the War Office refused
to try the remedy themselves unless
he had first tried it in some civil hos-
pital in London.
