Lord Roberts on Future Yeomanry Duties.

Earl Roberts' on May 20fth visited Badminton, where the Royal Glouces tershire Hnap&rs art encamped, and witnessed a Seld-d&y o£ the corps. Addressing the mea after the march pasf, Lord Roberts eaid he wanted to Bay a few words to dispel a miiappre hension, which lie understood prevailed generally t that there was a desire on the part oi the authorities to tarn thf old Yeomanry of England iaio mounted infantry. There wai no such desire. They all knew the valne of the Yeo manry, and he could speak of what the Yeomanry had dona ia South Africa. They came at a time when mounted troops were most urgently required, &nd they had done their duty in quite » splendid manner There waa the grasteat difference between caValry men, who had occasionally to fight on fool, »nd infantrymen, who had iome times to be put on ponies or horses so as to move quickly about the country. The one would always remain cavalry and the other would always re main infantry. The regimenfe be fore him had that day been carrying oat two most important duties, which the Yeomanry would al ways have to 'perform—the purely t cavalry work of reconnaissance and of screening the advance of a main body A third duty they would undoubtedly have to do in the future on foot, but

(hat did not make them infantrymen. Under present conditions, when they had rtfles that could reach 2,000 yards and kiU at that distance, it would be, folly for cavalry to expose themselves on horseback and be knocked over and render fed useless as combatant!. Tje authorities wanted it understood that Yeomanry might often be called opon to net &a infantry, to take a position m Mad been don© tbafi day. There »a« nothing derogatory in doing that sort of thing, and that was the only change In the Yeomanry drill that was pro posed—bo that, when necessary, they should bo ready to attack or. foot in » iatisfactory manner. There was one thing essential—they must be able to ■hootis well ai the enemy with whom they might be engaged. He notices thai they had all got rifles instead of carbines, and he was very glad to see it. Before he left South Africa all the cavilry—the Lancers, the Dragoon Guards and Hussars—came to him and begged that their carbines might be taken away and that they m;.,ht be given the rifle, They said it was no nse for them to endeavoar to com pete with the Boers unless their weap ons would carry as far as those of the enenay. He waa able to give them nfl«i, and he had learned since that they had dono admirable work; Lord Boberts continued t —When he first wont there be laid down the rale tha', the files were not to be closer than six places when advancing to the attack That was very soon altered to ten and twenty paces, tt was absolutely necee iary to be wildly separated, TbeDake of Beaoforfr wts speaking to him & boat the Yeomanry having some weap on other than the rifle. Well, at pres tut they had got the sword. What might happen in the future he did not know. The War Office might think it necessary to have some other kind of Sword, or a sword that went on the rifle would be necessary. At any rate they had got the sword now, and as long as they had not got any order against it they might keep it

-^bis complamfc is not -, '°°ked upon ig tn evil by . H^B a great msny people and pIH very little eiort ie made to tare it. The cansea of constipation are many, bat the most freqaent is carelessness of tfce isuflferer in neglecting to respond to the e»lls of nature. Women especially tre graafc traaggres sors ia this reßpect, and oonseqaenlly they are amongst the greatest victims of eortsfcipaiioa. If the waste matter in th« boiy is not got rid of troubie is sare to follow, which sometimes leads to a most serious illness. Among other causes of constipation msj he mentioned improper diet, excessive mental emotion or br»ra work, and neglect of exercise. In the treatment of constipation three things are especially needful; a mild eatbartio, proper diet and physical exercise. Of the first and mosfe im portant, mach can be said, bat ail that Ia necessary is, that nearly all laxative remedies sold today are extremely violent in their action, and therefore barm fa I. Bile Beans for bllionsnesa perform their work gently and can therefore betaken with pet feet safety. With regard to diet, all foods may be taken, except those known to be in digestible, pastry however should not be taken at all Physical exercise does not mean violent gesticulations for five or ten minutes in tha morning, but indulgence in a pleasure giving exercise such as walking, rowing, or cycling, in any case act to be of a violent character. Take Bile Beans following the directions given, observe regular habits, and tha curing of any c»6e of constipation is only a matter of Hme, The length of the care depends npoo the severity of the case.
