There are thousands OF people in all
walks of life, particularly at this sea-
son, who are "not exactly right" and
yet are not sick, for whom a single
bottle of Hoods Sarsaparilla would do
a world of good, as it has done for
others. Business and professional men
as well as the busy housewife are es-
pecially susceptible tC this debilitated
feeling. 1t is the peculiar combination
of the best tonic, anti-bilious, diuretic
and alternative agents Of the vegetable
kingdom, carefully and scientifically
combined, which enables Hoods Sar-
saparilla to reach simple as well as
serious ailments when all other medi-
cines fail. Read Mrs. Hunts letter:

2O.-The Thirteenth is now fairly set
tied in its new home and Camp Hast
lngs, at Mt. Gretna, with it's innumer-
able rough experiences, is only a me-
mory. The Thirteenth left Gretna at
10 o'clock Thursday morning bound for
the camp of instruction, where thov
are now located. The train consisted
or two sections, the first containing the
first battalion and commanded by COL
onei Coursen; the second, containing
the Second battalion, under command
or Lieutenant Colonel Mates. The Of
hcerS or headquarters We're divided be-
tween the two trains, those travelling
on the first section having a Pullman.
the second section was not provided
with Pullman owing to the failure
OF the railroad company TO get it on
hand in time and the officers had to be
content with a day coach.
Only two coaches were allowed for
each company and as a consequence
each man did not have a seat for him
self, as was the case with the regi-
ments that went to Chickamauga and
the West
The orders to break camp were given
Immediately after morning mess, and
by o'clock, the appointed hour of
departure, everything was i'm readi-
ness for the march to the station. An
hour was consumed i'm loading the
troops and il only lacked a few min

The weather man was bound to get
a last whack at the Thirteenth before
II came down to his neighborhood, and
where he himself would have to share
the hardships he might impose on the
soldiers. 1t wasn't very severe
storm, but it was enough to be annoy
ing and to evoke from the men of the
regiment the comment that they must
be hoOdOoed in the matter of weather.
Nineteen days of rain and mud out of
the total of twenty-five at Gretna is
what Mr.. Weatherman has to boast of.
The First battalion Of the Second
regiment was en- route 10 the train
when the Thirteenth started. The
Twelfth was preparing TO strike camp
and the Sixth counted on getting away
before nightfall. With these gone,
