The fact that several dollars spent for the
right medicine has effected cure where a
skilled and expensive physician aided by
the latest and most ingenious instrument OF
science, had failed, Is a matter of much
importance.
important, because II opens to downcast
sufferers a new, inexpensive and sure
avenue to the restoration OF health and the
full enjoyment Of the pleasures of life.
Such was the experience OF Mrs. Ada
No Herr, Of 439 North Charlotte Street,
Lancaster, Pa.
From a weak, nervous, Responding per-
son, she was made a strong, active woman
and cheerful, helpful VIE.
Her story is interesting.
Mrs. Herr suffered terribly from female
disorders. Her nerves became unstrung,
cramps griped her and caused the most
intense pain.
So weak and physically demoralized
was she, that the slightest labor wearied
her and household duties were burden.
The most alarming symptoms OF her
malady were the frequent faiatins spells
that afflicted her.
In the midst Of her work, or IN con-
versation, dizziness would come apon her
and she would fall PROSTATE IN swoon.
She consulted reputable physician. He
diagnosed her case and prescribed the usual
remedies.
Instead of improving, she continued to
grow worse the ailment that was roebing
her life OF the joys Of young womanhood
became more pronounced

ARMY OF INVASION SAILS.
Twenty five thousand Men or to Fight
the Spaniards.

Jacksonville, Fla, June 9.--Great en-
thusiasm attended the departure of the
Santiago expedition from Tampa. Thou
sands Of persons lined the shore, their
cheers mingling with those Of the de-
parting troops. Twenty seven thou
sand men, headed by Major General
Shafter. have sailed for Santiago. The
vessels carrying the troops were formed
in three squadrons, each vessel of the
squadron sailing 1000 yards astern Of
the one ahead. The squadrons sailed
abreast, a gunboat leading each one.
Sailing speed was limited to eight knots
per hour. Three gunboats, the Helena,
Castine and Annapolis, acted as con-
voys, and the Hornet acted as rear
guard.
The sailing Of this vast fleet Of ships,
their decks crowded with eager, cheer
ing men, made a most impressive and
inspiring scene. Off Key West the fleet
was augmented by the battleship In
diana and other fighting warships. Gen.
eral Linares and Admiral Cervera will
probably cape in establishment Satur-
day, and they will have reason for It.
BY that time, instead Of a dozen ships
off Santiago, they will see a fleet OF fif-
ty OF more stretched for miles and miles
over the waters around their bottled-up
port.

No discovery Of modern times has proved
such boon to women as DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People. Acting directly on
the blood and nerves, invigorating the body,
regulating the functions, they restore the
strength and health to the exhausted woman
when every effort Of the physician proves
unavailing.
These pills are recognized everywhere
as a specific for diseases of the blood and
nerves. For paralysis, locomotor a.axia,
and other diseases long supposed incurable,
.hcy have proved their efficacy IN thousands
of cases. Truly they are one Of the greatest
blessings ever bestowed upon mankind.

THE SOLDIERS NAIL.
BOTHERS THE POSTAL AUTHORITIES
TO GET IT TO HIM.


Which Is Being Put Into Operation.
How the Boys In Blue May Send Let
ters without Stamps.
Volunteer soldiers are great letter
writers and so are their friends. Hence
the postal authorities have been forced
to adopt somewhat elaborate scheme
for distributing the army mail at the
various big camps
When the new volunteer gets to liv-
ing in tent eating hard tack and do
ing regular picket duty, he is seized
with desire to write to the folks at
home and tell them all about it. Hav-
ing unlimited time at his disposal he
writes. The folks write back. Mother
covers pages and pages with advice
about keeping his feet dry, sticking to
his hannels and such things; father
drops line or two of encouragement
now and then sister sends letter full
of gossip about the young people, and
brother John, aged 10 or less, tries to
express with pen and paper his utter
woe at having been born just a few
years too late.
This is all right, but it is unusual. 1t
is a feature about big volunteer army
which the government authorities had
not anticipated and consequently had
not prepared for But the private III the
ranks has just as much right, if not a
little more, to demand that his letters
shall be sent and delivered with the
same promptness as those of the stay at
home civilian, So the army postoffice
has been devised
At Camp Black, the Long Island rem
devious of the New York state troops,
it is estimated that at one time 80, 900
pieces of mail arrived for the soldiers
every day for at least week. At no
time were more than $1,000 men in
camp there, so you can form an idea of
the free use the friends of the soldiers
make of the mails
The postoffice at Camp Black is in a
IL by 10 foot tent, pitched near the tele-
phone and telegraph offices on the out
skirts of the camp The postmaster is
assisted by three militiamen, who were
detailed ON that duty when it became
evident that delay was unavoidable
when a man or two from each regiment
attempted at one time to gather their
mail from great heap of letters on the
floor.
Under the revised arrangement the
letters are roughly sorted in the Hemp
stead postoffice and looked over and
thrown into the regimental sacks when
they reach the camp. Orderlies from
the regiments call for the sacks when
ever it is thought probable that another
mail has arrived. At the regimental
headquarters the letters are again sort

stamp his letter he may just mark 1t
as such, put it in the mail bag and have
the receiver pay the postage at the other
end. This is convenient for the soldier,
because sometimes he cannot buy stamps
either from lack of opportunity or
money.
The regulation in regard to tie mail
from forces in the field is aut orized
by an act of congress passed in 1879 and
Is as follows:
Letters written by officers, commits
stoned or noncommissioned, and pri-
Yates in the military, naval or marine
service of the United States, to be trans
mitted unpaid, must be plainly marked
Soldiers Letter, Sailors Letter or
Marines Letter, as the case may be,
and signed Hereunder with his name
and official designation by field or
staff officer post or detachment COM
mander to whose command the soldier
belongs, or by a surgeon or chaplain at
a hospital where he may be, and in the
navy and marine service by the officer
in command of the vessel or surgeon on
board, or officer commanding naval hos
pital or detachment ON shore Letters
so certified will be forwarded charged
with postage due at single rates only, to
be collected ON delivery"
The postoffice department is deluged
with letters from persons who wish to
obtain appointments in connection with
the military postoffice service at the
different camps and headquarters. BY
an understanding entered into between
Postmaster General Smith and First
Assistant Postmaster General Perry
Heath, however, this service will be SUI
pervised entirely by the existing force
of the postoffice department, and the ac-
tive work of collecting and distributing
mail matter to the forces in the field
will be managed by the officers and en-
listed men of the army without added
expense to the government
But if you want your letters to reach
the boys at the front do not fail to in
dictate the company regiment and state
as well as the camp at which they are
located Especially do not forget the
state, for many regiments of the same
number but from different states, are
quartered in the same camps. A letter
addressed to "John Doe Private, Com
pany ID, Seventy first New York Infan-
try, Lakeland, Fla would reach John

Fltz Simmons, Reason Cor Resignation.

Chicago, June IL. - General Charles
Fitz Simons has arrived home from
Washington. He gave the following
reasons for declining the offer of a
brigadier's stars: The war department
had given him to understand definitely
that he would be sent to the Philip
pines If he accepted. He thought that
assignment was proper only for the
professional soldier.
He was too old a man and had too
many ties at home to go on a campaign
of reconstruction which would probably
last several years. Secondly, he realized
more fully than ever before the great
responsibility upon his shoulders as the
sole executor of the Hegeman estate.

Washington, June 14.--The navy de-

Of the battle Of Manila by mail from
Admiral Dewey. The report contains
nothing new, but officially establishes
the fact that there were two submarine
mines exploded while the squadron ad-
vanced to the attack, but too far away
to be effective. The admiral gives high
praise to his officers and men and refers
to Captain Wildes by name, but says

MEMORIAL DAYS NEW INTEREST.
This memorial occasion comes to us
fraught with new interest. We are gather
ing at the graves of those who have served
in other wars to honor their memory and
we are cheering the sons of those brave
men on the new battle scenes. We are max
ing new graves side by side with those that
have grown green with the lapse of time.
While we stand with uncovered heads be-
fore these graves, made in civil strife, we
hear the tramp of the united legions march
ing under the banner these died to defend.
Our foes then are our friends to-day.
THE blood of brave Ensign Bagley, of
the South who died on the Winslow, in
the battle of Cardenas mingled with the
blood of the North and the blood of the
colored man on the same deck. When our
brave brothers of the South are ready to
shed their blood to consecrate Old Glory,
the flag they once trampled in the dust. l
am ready to forget and forgive. The glory
of this war will be its devotion to human
liberty; its priceless heritage to this Nation
will be the reuniting of the North and
South This war will demonstrate to the
world that the American soldier has no

the Nations altar, let us learn the lessons
well that these ceremonies teach. Let US
learn the price of liberty. Let us study how
to honor the country. the purchase price
of the liberties of which cost SO much The
blood and treasure that have been poured
out in its defense should combine to make
it the sacred heritage of all. This should
be day devoted to honoring the dead and
not to pleasure-seeking. This sacred day
should be consecrated to patriotic service,
and not desecrated with amusements.

dead comrades we recall their sacrifices and

prayers of parents, of wives, of sweethearts,
will ascend to the guardian angel implor-
ing His sacred vigil over loved ones far
away in camp or battle, and invoking the
God of battle to give victory to our arms.
No memorial service since its institution is
so sacred IS this. 1t brings the living COM

perchance, dead in battle.
