BEAMING WITH SMILES

Are the conferences of people who
have found speedy and thorough relief
from malarial, kidney bilious, dyspeptic
or nervous troubles through the aid of
Hostetter's stomach Bitters. Such coun-
tenances are very numerous. So are let
tiers from their owners attesting the eff
cacy OF the great family medicine.
Among the signals Of distress thrown out
by the stomach, bowels, and liver, in a
state Of disorder, are sick headache,
heartburn, nausea, loss Of appetite, sal
lowness of the skin and eyeballs, and an
uncertain state of the bowels. They
should be needed at once. If the Bitters
are resorted to the woe-begone look
which accompanies sickness will give

ncwal of health If you are drifting on
the coast Of disease, throw an anchor to

> The larger part of the command left
the Armory in Portland at 2SO P. M,

bicycles and one sergeant and myself
mounted upon horses. Three privates
and a cook, in charge of a sergeant,
started for Camp Powers via M. c. r.
r.. Saturday, Aug. 7th at 700 A. N.
The Corps after leaving Portland via
Tukey's bridge commenced taking
notes from which to make map of the
road from Portland to Augusta, which
l forward to you under separate cover.
The command was divided in two de-
tachments Of about equal strength, one
marching about one mile in advance of
the other. At every change or direc-
ton. cross road, railroad. or river Of
any consequence, a halt was made,
compass set. distance taken by cyclom-
eter. and recorded.
The command arrived at TOpsham at
845 p. NJ. and went into camp for the
night. 1t was here that occurred the
only instance of vandalism that came
to my notice. Two men foraging for
fire wood marched proudly into camp
with a load of old fence palings. One
of the culprits was ordered to return
the plumber. and the other to go to
Brunswick for nails. After two hours
labor at repairing fences, upon an
empty stomach, the humorous side OF
the picture was turned against the wall
as far as they were concerned, and
have mad no trouble of the kind since.
| After a supper Of hardbread, deviled
ham and coffee, a guard was posted
and the men turned in, using the blan-
ket doubled to lie upon, and the over
4 coat for a cover. We turned out at
3.45 A. NJ, Saturday, and after making
good breakfast of coffee, deviled ham
and hardbread for change, struck
again for Camp Powers before $50. ar
irving there between 500 and 500 r. M
AS soon as the men were settled In
their quarters. the sergeants in charge

were found to be so faulty that they
were discarded altogether.
