Some Truths.

So many ladies on coming here are disap-
pointed at first about the bill of fare that the
pioneer stage forces on us. They have read
Bellamy's Looking Backward and expect to
step right out of the world of competition in
to an ideal city, mingle with people who are
perfect in all respects. Our sisters outside
must remember we bring all our faults with
us and can't change our nature as we do our
dress. The first thing that some object to is
the distance from the living apartments to the
dining hall, especially those with small chill
dren and when it rains which it does nearly
all winter, it is not very pleasant. The
breakfast, (which is served at seven consists
of oatmeal and sugar, fried or steamed pota-
toes and gravy, and cereal coffee with milk,
lots of excellent bread, and hot biscuits once
or twice week.
Dinner is served at - o'clock and consists
of potatoes, beans or peas, cabbage or krout,
carrots, bread, tea or coffee. The vegetables
are seasoned with salt pork.
Supper is nearly the same: we have pies
once or twice week, hot rolls about the
same no butter, and milk is scarce. Cows
are needed badly Altogether woman
coming here must make up her mind to grin
and bear much. We must live for the future.

H. A slight misunderstanding has arisen in
regard to the machinery fund. Subscribers
were told that If they did not choose to place
their amounts in the fund to be drawn back
according to the printed agreement, then
they could have it credited on their MEM
berahip fees. But this must not be con-
strued to mean that the installment on fee
must then be used in the machinery fund.
All membership fees received here, as such,
will be used to our best Judgment; but sub
scriptions to the machinery fund so specified
and not credited on membership fees will OF
course be strictly used for machinery and
paid back according to agreement.

There is distinctly peculiar halo that
invests the being Of an old soldier in the
eyes Of the present generation. The sight
Of him arocses afeeling OF admiration Tor his
brave deeds and heroic achievements.
Among those who bravelY fought was
DR.. L. J. Clark, who, when but beardless
boy, heard the tocsin Of war sounded.
It fired his patriotic spirit to ferveney
that found relaxation only IN his realization
Of fighting IN the battles.
Tothe cali Of President Lincoln for troops
In the latter part of '6t, young Clark
promptly responded.
There was need Of men in the navy, and
he joined that service in the mortar fleet
Of Admiral Porter, which soon after began
operations on the Mississippi River.
At the terrific bombardment OF the
Vicksburg forts, the hero Of this story fell
on the deck Of the Juliette with a shattered
arm from charge Of schFapnel.
He lay Ia the hospital for months, and
when he had recovered sufficiently TO Be
moved, was sent to bis home at Warren, O.
Though partly incapacitated for active
service, his patriotic zeal got the better Of
him, and when the cali for more troops
came, young Clark enlisted IA a company
formed BY Capt. Joel !. Aspe5, at Warren.
II became Co. II. Of the 9TH Ohio Volun-
teers and was sentt the Army Of the Poto-
mac under General Grant then campaigning
in Virginia against General Robert Z. Lee.

Shortly after, be began the study Of veter-
mary surgery, and, when completed, went
to Chicago, where he has resided for thirty
years, and Is now one of the isading sur
geons Of that profession IN the city.
His old wouEds began to trouble him
several years ago. He grew weak, ema-
ciated and thoroughly debilitated. His
friends began to despair Of his life.
He was bot shadow Of his former sell,
weighing only 90 pounds, lcss Of nearly

Finally friend gave me box Of Dr..

DIR. Clark. After taking the pills was
so much benefited that purchased half
dozen boxes and took them.
They were Of more benefit than the
ablest physicians treatment. BY their aid
alone, soon regained my strength.
II weigh $50 pounds now, and except
for injuries that can never be femedied,

two sticks for handles, a fish barrel,
some wire nails Of proper lenths and
several wooden strips of differene size
