INDIANA SOLDIERS HOME

of grounds, and surroundings.
The enterprise was naugurated in 1886, when
Comrade ID. n. Foster, Commander of the De.
partment of Indiana, GAR, in his annual
address, urged the comrades to take such action
as would secure the establishment of such a
Home. The Department EDcampment in
dorsed the plan, and instituted a comm ttee,
with Comrade Foster as Chairman, to push the
work. This was held in allegiance for some
time, however so as not TO interfere with the
Indiana Soldiers Monument. Interest in the
matter was revived in 1891 by Col. w. III.
Tucker, of indianapolis, and Department Com
mander j. n Walker brought it to the atten-
tion of the Department Encampment, which
renewed its Endorsement and directed the
formation of a committee, to consist of one
comrade from each Congressional District and
one at large.
The committee thus constituted consisted of
James Il. Carnahan, Chairman; w. III. Tucker.
Secretary; ID. n. Foster, Treasurer; c. ]. Muir

Jasper E. Lewis. This committee was author
lied by the resolutions to secure q suitable
location for the Home. The committee visited
several locations in the State, and on the 2Sth
of July, 1892. unanimously accepted the site
rendered by the citizens of Tippecanoe County
and the City of Lafayette, consisting of 1877
acres of wooded land at Tecumseh Trail, about
three miles north of the city, and three and
one-half miles southwest of the Tippecanoe
battle-ground. In addition to this tract the
City of Lafayette donated IS acres of land.
Col. R. p. DeHsit also donated a narrow tract
Of land running along the river bank. which
gave TO the Home grounds about 1000 feet
frontage On the river. In addition to these
tracts of land the committee received S., 632.50
in cash from Tippecanoe County.
The next step was TO get bill through the

Mrs. NELLIE c. BACON. Eli Jefferson ST., Toledo o.
This appointment was recommended by Hon.
j. NJ. Brown, President of the Toledo Humane
Society, in which Mrs. Bacon has been an un-
firing worker, as well as in the Relief Corps
also, by Hon. J. K. Hamilton, Mayor; Past
COmmander-inC Chief John l.. Kountz, Judge
Kicks, of the U. s. District Court, and other
prominent Grand Army men of Toledo and
northern Ohio.
Since then Mrs. Bacon has secured pensions
for many soldiers widows and orphans, placing
many orphans in State and County institution
provided for them, looking up evidence in
difficult claims, and securing favorable action
after they had been rejected by the Depart
ment.
One of the latest instances of her successful
prosecution of claims is the case of the widow
and orphan children of the late Department
Commander ID. c. Putnam, of Ohio. Her en-
tire work is gratuitous, as she gives her bene-
hciaries the benefit of fees allowed under the
law.

BEAUTY.
How to Increase in Weight and Otherwise In.
prove Ones Personal Appearance.

Every normally constituted man aud wom-
au wants to look well. This is natural and
right. We have little sympathy for those
people who through Incidence or gluttony
have permitted themselves to take on too
much flesh. They know that by living alb
stemiously and taking plenty of exercise
they can get back to their normal weight.
We do, however, have a great deal of
sympathy for those poor, pale. thin, suffer-
ers who either have no appetite or else
whose food distresses them 10 such a de-
gree that they are forced to live on most
frugal diet.
Their trouble arises from the fact that they
are unable to digest sufficient food and when
the stomach is out of order and fails to do its
proper work, foods are worse than useless,
they simply ferment in the stomach and fill
the system with poisonous principles.
What these people need is something that
will digest their food after it has been eaten,
and it is in just such cases that the Digestive
Cordial as made by the Mount Lebanon
Shakers is proving remarkably successful.
1t is so prompt in its action that a sense of
relief almost Immediately follows the first

The Shakers have issued an interesting
pamphlet which may be obtained upon in
quiry at any drug store.

Cordial and see what it will do for you.
