PRACTICAL KINDNESS.
One Hundred Thousand Grateful
Soldiers.

SUlulCISs
These war times have tried mems
souls in many unexpected ways, but like
a shaft of sunshine and good cheer out of
the cloud OF privation and endurance has
been the work that the American To-
bacco Co. has done among the U. S.
Soldiers and Sailors ever since the war
began-for when they discovered that
the camps and hospitals were not sup
piled with tobacco they decided to sup
ply them, free of cost, with enough for
every man, and have already given out
right to our Soldiers and Sailors over one
hundred thousand pounds of Battle AK
Plug and "Duke's Mixture" Smoking
Tobacco, and have bought and distribnt-
ed fifty thousand briar wood pipes, at a
total cost of between fifty and sixty
thousand dollars.
This work has been done quietly and
thoroughly, by establishing headquarters
in each camp 80 that every camp and
every hospital of the United States Army
has been supplied with enough tobacco
for every man and the sailors on thirty
United States ships in Cuban waters have
shared with the soldiers this most well
come of all "rations".
Perhaps it will be only fair to remem-
Der when we hear the remark again that
Corporations have no souls" that there
is one American corporation whose soul
has been tried and has not been found
wanting in practical kindness"

Company G Will Have a History of Their
own.

The souvenir book of Co. G is almost
ready to be placed on sale at the block
house.
The book is being published by Marq.
T. Stevens, of Port Huron, who has had
large experience in this class of work,
and, who has bent all his energy toward
getting up a souvenir for Company 6
which will be credit to his untiring
efforts. The people may well be proud
of company of their own boys who can
furnish such an interesting history.
The book will comprise complete
history of Company G from their organi-
cation as company of the 3rd Regiment
Michigan National Guard, and through
their career in Cuba during the late
Spanish. American war, giving their ex-
perience in adventure and hardships.
The history has been carefully compil.
ed by Private M. Phillips, who is a young
writer and a member of Co. G who ha s
had taste of Spanish warfare to its bit
terest degree.
Other interesting features about this
work will be seven full page half-tone
cuts showing the company as they were
before leaving the city for the front, and
another cut of the company as they APP
peared upon their arrival in the city
after their painful experience on Cuban
soil, and other cuts which are very inter
esting.
As every citizen feels interested in Co,
6 he should procure copy OF this book.
They will sell for 10 cents, and can be
had at the Block house or from any mem
Der of the company.

Col. Chas. R. Greenleaf, chief surgeon of
the army in the field, has contributed to the
National Medical Review an article on the
organization of the medical department of
the army in the field. DR.. Greenleaf states
in this article that the peculiar horrors and
sufferings which the regimental system
brought to the army in the first two years
of the civil wal have had their effect in the
management of the hospital work in the
present war; He also says: "While at
Tampa inspected the field services of the
5th corps, both before and after they went
on board the transports. and found them
under the able administration of Chief
Surgeon Pope. In addition to the field
organization we have fully equipped under
the special direction of Surgeon General
Sternberg, the hospital ship "Relief," which
Is provided with large quantities of medical
and surgical supplies of all kinds and has
all the necessary modern appliances for the
comfort of the sick, such as ice machines,
water condensers, apparatus for the use of
the Roontgen rays, ETC." Concluding the
article as follows: $50 that our people may
be well assured that Surgeon General Stern
berg has provided everything needful to
secure efficient service for the sick and
wounded, in which particular feel satisfied
that our army stands second to none in the
world" 1t is against such statements as
DIR. Greenleaf has uttered that the press of
the country now appears to be making an
attack. We may expect very soon to hear
the end of this controversy, as the boys
are at home again and each one can
reco unit bis own trials and hardships, and
the people will get better understanding
when they hear the story told by those who
participated in these actual scenes of war,
than from reading the garbled statements
recently sent out by the yellow press.

A Business-like Question.

The following business-lke proposition
and question signed by manufacturers
and bankers are worthy OF the careful
consideration of property owners OF the
city.
1t is stated by business men OF our city,
who are well informed on the subject and
know whereof they speak, that putting it
at very conservative estimate, the actu-
al cash value of the good will alone of the
furniture manufacturing business OF l.. E.
Woodland, which he carried on his plant
lately burned, was and is worth at least
the sum of $25,O0000. This being true,
the loss of such good will be as much of a
loss to the city as to Mr.. Woodland By
the means of such good will, raw materi-
al, and labor mostly the latter, have
been put in the shape of manufactured
goods, sent out from our city into other
portions of our state and of the world,
and exchanged for dollars, and the dollars
brought here and put into circulation, to
the benefit and advantage of every trade,
occupation, employment and profession,
carried on within its boundaries, either
directly or indirectly.
Shall the citizens and property interests
of Owosso suffer this loss without an eff
fort to secure the resumption OF such
manufacturing business?
