SONS OF VETERANS.
Loyal Young Men and Their Great
Order

Gen. Charles X. Darling, COMMANDMENT
Chief of the Sons of Veterans, Boston,
Mass. has written the following letter to
Col. Ed. X. Depuy, Commander of the
Maryland Division, outlining the action to
be taken by the Order in the present
struggle:
81 have made no tender of the services of
the Sons of Veterans to the General Gov
ernment-although frequently asked to do
so-because l believe such action would
be premature, SAVIOR of the dramatic and
be we'll nigh impossible of fulfilment, and
impracticable of carrying out, were such
tender accepted.
81 have not the slightest objection, and
in fact think it highly comm nda Bile, that
Division or Camp Commanders or indi-
vidual members, feeling it their d ty SO to
do, should offer their services to the Gov
ernors of their respective States, with the
quotas of which they would naturally and
logically be enrolled. No better nucleus
for a company or regiment could, in my
opinion, be found, than in many OF our
Camps and Divisions; but it must be as
organizations accepted and mustered by
the properly-constituted authorities, and
by them differed, that service be per-
formed.
ain other words, we are first of all citi
ZenS of our common country, and member
ship in the Order of Sons of Veterans must
in no way stand between us and our Ia
tions to the State. While it is to be hoped
this arousing of patriotism throughout the
land may lead to many identifying them
selves with our grand patriotic Order, and
that in the event of trouble the boys may
be found in the front rank, yet it is farth-
est from the purpose of the present Com
mander- in Chief to seek to make capital
out of the present serious condition of
affairs

A REGIMENT OF SONS.
Division Commander L. C.. Couch, o
ment OF Sons of Veterans for service in the
volunteer army. in last General Orders
he says: The time has arrived to act.
Members of our Order should show that
they are worthy of their heritage, that
they are willing to do their share in sup
porting the Government to the fullest ex-
tent. Our organization is mainly COM
posed of young men Of proper age for mill
tary service; we have for our fundamental
principles those tenets of loyalty that call
for a prompt fulfilimcnt of duty.
Our fathers gave to the Nation gallant
service, and their sons may Justly be ex-
pected to prove themselves worthy sons of
loyal sires. Therefore, at this time the
Division Commander calls upon all brothers
to enroll themselves now, that we may be
ready for service when called upon It is
proposed to establish from our membership
at least one regiment, and to tender our
services as Sons of Veterans command.
ut is desirabl that we recruit such a
command and that it come from our organi-
cation. Not only should those already
members take this step, but they should
induce others, eligible to our Order, to Join
with us, and identity themselves with this
movement. We should have sufficient
pride as an order to assure success, and we
must see to it that the individuality of the
Sons of Veterans is not lost sight of in
other movements, but that we should have
a strictly Sons of Veterans command.
1--WE would, therefore, appeal to you to
give this proposed enrolment your steady
support, that you do not weaken this or
ganization by scattering your services but
see to it that all who can do SO, identify
themselves with this body which desires
the honor of carrying the banner of the
Sons OF Veterans alongside of the Stars
and Stripes
That the work of organization may be
carried on in proper manner the State
will be divided into districts under direct
charge OF recruiting officers.
The Maryland Division has not been
slow in its display of loyalty. Col. Edward
X. Depuy, in Division Orders, says: Steps
have been taken looking to the organiza-
ton of battalion, possibly regiment,
composed OF Sons of Veterans in the Dis
trict of Columbia, the intention being to
tender the services of the organization to
the President. Other evidences of patriot
ism OF the members in this Division have
come to my notice.

article met with almost daily in perusing the
local papers. What is the cause of these I'M
timely examinations of life? Nothing more
nor less than defect in one or more Of the

cold or other cause, produces "A collapse OF the
entire system. Under favorable conditions

of the organic defect but the conditions with
which humanity has TO contend are I'M
fortunately not always favorable, in par

changes in temperature and weather give rise
to ailments, which quickly lay low those in
the least susceptible to attack. How i'm
