ARMY HARDSHIPS.
REALIZE THE SUFFERiEGS
FROM ARMY LIFE.
From the Farmers. voice, Chicago, nj.

Edstn A. Wood, who now lives at 800
Washington boulevard, Chicago, ILL.,, was
born on farm in Wyoming county, N. Y,
fifty years ago. As young man he suffer
ed two sun strokes in the fields. When the
war broke out, he joined the 9th Illinois
Volunteers, with which he served two years
when sickness forced his discharge. The
effects of the sun stroke and his army life
undeassined his health, and he soon found
his brain, heart and kidneys were affected.
err eight years he was with the West Chi
cass:p Street Car Company, but was forced
to Seek lighter work, rs the exposure in
creased his bronchial and asthmatic trou-
bles He then engaged with the Pan Han
die Railroad Company. For six years he
served them in different capacities. His
constitution gradually but surely breaking
down, strange dizzy spells becoming more
frequent, he finally sought relief in DR..
Williams Pink Pills. He said:
cit was some time about year ago when
/ was very poorly, that my head was giving
me great deal of trouble; dizzy spells,
aches and queer feelings. and then | also
had strange feeling Of uncertainty in the
use of my lower limbs when walking.
physicians examined my condition and
were or the opinion InaJ iau al tne HTSt
systems of iocomotor ataxia, and l believe
they were right; also last summer had
very hard time with an attack of tonsilitis
and neuralgia from which did not recover
for some time. 1t was then that conf
menced to use these Pink Pills. and bad only
taken few boxes when discovered re-
markable change for the better in every
way The pills seemed to relieve me of
aches and pains, the symptoms of locomotor
atax1a have left me entirely, and they have
made me strong and feel like myself.
II am going to continue the use of the
pills for the reason that having relieved
me of the ailments l thought had come to
stay thirty years ago am practically rid
of them and will lose no efforts when IhaNe
the remedy at hand to keep them rid. am
only too glad to tell all my friends what ex-
perience have had with DR.. Williams Pink
Pills and when they see the good physical
condition / am in now, although nearly
sixty years of age, they will come to the
same conclusion as myself.

TEA TABLE NOVELTIES.

The fairy teacups are new and par
ticularly dainty bits of china. They are
exceedingly small. made of Carlsbad,
and are ornamented with frolicking Gu
pids.
Chocolate cups are also seen in many
odd shapes. The newest looks Ike a
loving cup in miniature. 1t has three
pretty carved handles and is NEST
graceful
The society girl makes use of the rum
bottle in brewing her Russian tea, al
lowing a well-flled spoonful to every
cup. The bottles are boat-shaped, with
a long, slender neck at one end, aDd
stand on two short legs. They can't be
bought for less than 81.
The latest addition to the o'clock
tea table is sure to make sad the hearts
of the good women connected with the
Women's Christian Temperance union.
Though made Of Bohemian glass and
very beautiful to look at, it is nothing
more nor less than rum bottle.
Teacups are growing smaller in size.
Some Of the latest make the after-din-
ner coffee cup look largein comparison.
A novelty is the teacup which fits in a
stand, instead Of resting on the saucer.
The idea is to prevent the cup from fall
ing over. The stand is part of the sau-
Ger and is generally made of gilt.
Bonbon boxes for the S o'clock tea
table are in Carlsbad china, shaped like
large pansy and tinted like the natu-
raj blossom. They are not only an adj
ditiol to the table, but are inexpensive,
costing but 50 cents apiece. The most
approved teacloth is of plain linen, with
a deep Renaissance lace border
The newest tea strainers are of CARTS
bad china They are made to fit over
the cup and have a prettily decorated
handle. Some of the daintiest are
white, sprinkled with tiny flowers, such
as forget -me-nots or bits of rosebuds,
and flecked with gold. These tea
strainers vary in price from 60 cents to
1925 and are welcome change from
the conventional silver tea ball.

S, m mer Homes.

In the lake regions Of Wisconsin,
northern Michigan, Minnesota, Iowa
and Dakota, there are hundreds of
charming localities pre- minently fitted
for summer homes. Nearly all are To-
Gated on or near lakes which have not
been fished out. These resorts are
easily reached by railway and range in
variety from the full dress for dinner"
to the fiannel-shirt costume for every
meal. Among the list are names famil-
lar to many of our readers as the per-
lection Of northern summer resorts.
Nearly all of the Wisconsin points of in
terest are within short distance
from Chicago or Milwaukee, and none
of them are so far away from the busy
marts of civilization" that they cannot
be reached in a few hours of travel, by
frequent trains, over the finest road in

the principal resorts, with list of sum

ST. PETERSBURG, May 1s.-The
Viedomosti says Spain can count on
England and France in the event of
war with the United States, since by
interfering with Cuba the United
States enters the colonial sphere, The
Viedomosti also says this is a good
time for Spain to fight the United
States. She must spend millions to
conquer the insurgents, and it would
be better to fight the United States
than to fight the insurgents.
CRY OF MEXICO, May 2o-Sympathy

substance of this opinion in a sharp
letter to Sir Hercules Robinson, the
Cape Colony governor, adding that the
British South Africa Company, as at
present controlled, is source of
danger to the whole of South Africa,
and that, while the Transvaal wishes
to be friendly with all peoples and
governments, there viii be no rest in
South Africa until those who engi-
ueered the recent plot are punished.
