The exact date has not been decided upon, as the new buildings which are to house the school have not yet been fully completed. i The school is for the training of oflBcers and non-dommlssioned 1 officials of the army in directing and controlling the fire of bodies of troops and in the systematic handling and formation of troops under fire. Individual marksmanship is npt taught. The school was organized last July. It was located at Fort Sill because of the presence hero the School of Fire for field artillery, with which it co-operates, and because of the topography and extent or tne local reservation, wnicn is, the largest in the country.

Later on the war department intends to install reeimental Fehocls 'ili tech posts and then the tion here will be turned into a formal school for the training of teachers. i The idea or mass firing, as pp- posed to individual marksmanship, I Waa first conceived bv an Italian general aoouc. iweniy ywarn icsw. i A was developed by the Germans and finally adopted by the other Euro- pean countries, and muskotnv schools now are established in all European armies. t.

Gas form-ed on Stomach after eating causing ner ternoie pains ana ner skin had become muddy and' sallow She had been advised to go to the hospital as nothing seemed, to relieve her. When she decided to take Tanlac she was confined to bed and she told me she had riven up all hope of recovery. Since tak lng the new medicine I am introducing for L. T. Cooper the now well known manufacturer of Tan lac, she has entirely recovered, Is out of bed and goes about as she pleases.

In a glowing account she wrote to T. C. Prince -she said to her recovery: "All my troubles have disappear. ed and" I canhonestly -recommend the new medicine, Tanlac, to all my friends and to everybody. Tan lac has made me a well woman- after I had given up hope of ever being well again, and after every other medicine had failed.

I will be delighted to tell anyone what Tanlac has done for me." This condition of the system, rundown, worn oit, debilitated, causes thousands to suffer untold pain and 'it is' indeed, fortunate that Tanlac may now be secured in thiu vicinity. For Bale now by F.
