The officers were installed by the National
President, Ncttie E. Gunlock of Chicago III.
During the visit of the National President,
Nettie E. Gunlock of the Ladies of the Grand
Army, at Sandusky, she visited the Soldiers
and Sailors Home and especially every ward
In the hospital, taking each inmate by the hand
and speaking q word of cheer. She said they
never could be paid for the services they
rendered their country during the hour of peril,
but the Ladies Of the Grand Army of the Re-
public, composed of the mothers, wives, sisters
ard daughters of the men who fought the
battles OF their country, would see to it that
part of the interest, at least, would be paid.
None could feel with deeper sympathy the pri-
vations and horrors of war than they.
Col. Henry S. Cohen, an Ohio boy, by service
to his country, now residing at Louisville, KY,
and who has been selected as Grand Marshal
over the grand parade during the next National
Encampment of the GAR, was admitted to
honorary membership in the Ladies of the
Grand Army at Sandusky, the National
President administering the obligation. Josiah
p. Dry, of Upper Sandusky, o., an Aid de-
Camp to the Commander-in-Chief of the GAR,
was also admitted.

send, Henry Kissinger and a number OF other
comrades from Ohio visited the Encampment,
and delivered eloquent remarks of encourage
ment, bidding the ladies God speed in their
patriotic labors. The Order is increasing
rapidly all over the United States. Eleven
new Circles were organized in Ohio during the
past few months
Marion Circle, 90 at Marion. O., have intro
duced an interesting feature into their public
entertainments, that of commemorating the
battles. The last was the siege of Vicksbnrg.
The next will be the battle of Gettysburg. The
ladies read papers on these battles, and COM
rades who participated in them give their ex-
perience, recalling events which have proven
very interesting and instructive, and by this
means correct history of the war is impaired
to the rising generation from the men who
were there. The exercises are interspersed
with choice selections of patriotic music, which
the ladies conduct

Women know the influence of beauty
on men; men. rarely admire a beautiful
invalid, but they do admire woman in
whom Is blended good features and per-
feet health.
There is no secret about a woman's
beauty; it all lies in the care she deyotes
to herself, to removing from her system
all poisonous impurities, and keeping at
bay those fearful female diseases.
The flashing eye, elastic step and bril-
liant complexion are never companions
of womb trouble; only the distressed
expression and aches, pains, blues, faint
ness, dizziness, bearing-down feeling,
etc, keep 1t company.
Lydia e. Pinkbdm'S Vegetable Com

it, and praise it's discoverer- Your drug

medicines.
