Of grain that the Agricultural Depa'e'

attention. Smut Is caused by minute
parasitic fungi, the spores or seeo-ilke
bodies Of which form the black, dusty
mass which takes the place OF the Ker-

are very minute, and are easily blown
about, often adhcrlng to the kernel De

Messers. Wells, Richardson & Co.,
Gentlemen-Nobody can blame me OF
being disloyal if l say that Paine's celery
compound has done more for me than
any other person or thing since I left
Silver City to join the Rough Riders.
1t has pulled together the scraps OF a
stalwart man, brought me around from
all the bad effects of the Cuban climate,
and braced me up until I am in better
health than l have been in ten years. My
friends in the West think that | am nearly
dead from the army fever they called
calientura in Cuba. When get back to
Silver City they will be as surprised as
sometimes feel myself | had pretty
good nerves before Ienlisted. They went
to pieces while we were lying out in the
trenches at Santiago '-dging bullets. I
began to feel feverish from the day we
got to SiboDey. When the Mausers sang
about our ears noticed that | was get
ting nervous.
! found myself scarcely able to walk
after the battle of San Juan.
got worse until got back to Mon
tauk Point, where | got bottle OF
Paine's celery compound from another
fellow in the regiment. saw several OF
the Rough Riders takingit.
With some of them, as with me, it
seemed to take the place Of both food and
medicine, for the systems of many of the
men needed toning up before they could
again eat as they had done before they
left this country.
| don't know much about medicines.
We don't need much 'medicine in New
Mexico. But know Paine's celery COM
pound has fixed me up until feel able to
take the road for home, where | expect
to tell every one who mentions nerves to
me about my case.

NEW YORK, Oct. 6, 1898.
Messrs. Wells, Richardson & Co.,
Gentlemen-If anybody in the whole
regiment of Rough Riders had a chance
to observe the general weakened condi-
tion OF the men when they started back
to the United States, as compared with
their stalwart condition when they sailed
from San Antonio on June 8, l think
had.
Oklahoma is generally regarded as
healthy climate, and last May, when
left there, l hardly knew what sickness
meant. Earlier in life. however, had
lived in the East, and after month in
service knew that what needed, in my
general rundown condition, was nerve
tonic. knew if my nerves were fixed up
there would be no trouble about my gen.
eral health as soon as got away from
the army.
l also knew the position that Paine's
celery compound occupied, although |
had not had occasion to use it much NV
self ! got few bottles of it and began
to take it and give it to a few of my &C.
quaintances.
1t actually seemed to build up my ner-
vous constitution almost as rapidly as
the Southern climate had torn it down.
The same thing was true of the other
men gave 1t to.
Unless had found this tonic to restore
my nerves | feel sure that / would have
gone to the hospital at Montauk Point,
and might have shared the fate of many
other poor fellows whose impoverished
condition did not yield to the doctors
treatment.
1t gives me pleasure to recommend
Paine's celery compound as the best
remedy ever sold in America.

NEW YORK. Sept. 80, 1898.
Messrs. Wells, Richardson & Co.,
Gentlemen-I might have broken down
sooner in the campaign about Santiago
if had had time to realize what was the
matter with me before the Spaniards
surrendered.
God knows broke down soon enough
as it was, and it was as great surprise
to me as it was to the other boys who
knew me at home. But the Spaniards
kept us busy, when we were not busy on
our own account getting ready for the
big fight. That was member OF the
Roosevelt Regiment l shall always be
proud, and the fights at Las Quasimas
and at San Juan Hill will be things to
talk about for many year.
But / would not have lived to talk
about them If had not found something
to brace my nerves up again after the
siege had oft at Santiago with dysen-
terry and slow fever. l got so l could
hardly shoot, and elt like did not care
whether l did or not.
l lost 20 pounds in weight and lot
more than that in spirit, il you can meas.
ure fellows spirit that way. Half
dozen Mauser bullets could not have
made worse mess of me than he Cuban
climate and the mud in the Santiago
trenches did. AS soon as found | was
sick and my nerves were all gone hunted
for tonic. found it on the way back
North, when got some of the Paine's
celery compound l saw other men using.
How it braced me up my picture will
show better than anything else. 1t is
the greatest nerve restorer that can be
made, for it brings all the force there is
in a man to the surface.

ADVANCED on THE LIST.
WHAT TT MEANS FOR NAVAL OFFICERS TO

RE PUT AHEAD so MANY NUMBERS"
The report from Washington that the President
Rad "advanced' a number Of officers FOR con-
sp.cuous conduct at the battle OF Manila" has
caused many people 20 ask what Il means to be ad
vanced Ave or six or ten numbers
An advancement OF this kind is nothing short OF
a promotion. In tho United States Navy the Off
Ger who Is No ! on the list Of his grade is advanced
TO the first vacancy in the next higher grade. and
the nearer a man is TO No the better his chances
FOR promotion become. 1t follows that Captain
Wildes IL five points Captain Coghlan six points
Captain Crdley six points. Captain Dyer seven
points and Captain Lamberton seven points nearer
10 n comrnodores commission than they were be-
fore the "advance was ordered and that Com
nanders Walker and Wood six and ten points
respectively nearer n captains place through the
Presidents action IN the matter.
While officers In the United States Army are not
always promoted according TO their seniority. the
unwritten law is usually carried out I'm the Navy.
and a man who reaches No. in his grade Is sure
TO 20 higher II he is not retired does not die be
fore a vacancy occurs
In the grade OF captain there are forty-fvc names
and in that Of commander there are eighty-hve.
Advancement such as that which has come 20 the
ship commanders under Admiral Dewey is not a
novel procedure. Many naval officers were SINH
Iarly advanced during the Civil War and Lieu
,enan Commander Melville WAS sent up ten num-
bers for his services In the polar regions.
