Stone in Her Stomach

From the Gazette, Blandinsville, H.
The wife of Rev. A. r. Adams,
pastor OF the Bedford Christian
Church at Blandinsville, Ill, was for
years compelled to live life Of tor
ture from disease. Her case baffled
the physicians but today she is alive
and we'll, and tells the story Of her re-
covery as follows:
About six years ago, said Mrs.
Adams, Il weighed about 40 pounds,
but my health began to fail and | lost
flesh. My food did not agree with me
and felt like a stone in my stomach.
| began to bloat all over until l
thought | had drOpsy.
Il had pains and soreness in my left
side which extended clear across my
back and also into the region OF my
heart. During these spells hard
ridge would appear in the left side OF
my stomach and around the left side
These attacks left me sore and ex-
hausted. All last summer | was sc
nervous that the children laughing
and playing nearly drove me wild.
| suffered also from female troubles anC
doctored with ten different physicians
| without receiving any help.

There Is an army of heroes whose daily
walk Of life takes them across the thras-
hold of death.
They are the heroes of the powder mills.
the men and women who make the rowdf r
used in our rifles and big guns. They deal
every day with death and spend their lives
face to face with it. No life insurance com
pany will take their risk; no fire insurance
will guarantee the building in which thsy
work, no community of people will dwell
with them. They live alone, colony of
laborers, working ever with grim destroy
er, death. a few days ago this brief tele-
gram appeared in The Post by special tele-
graphic dispatch
Dover, \. 1.-The town of Dover
and the country within a radius
of twenty miles was startled this
afternoon by II series of terrific
explosions, the first of which Oc-
Cured at 2:IO o'clock. The ex-
piosions occurred in the Atlantic
Powder cOmpany's works. and
the plant is now ~ complete mass
of ruins. six wOrimen were
killed and others seriously in
jured, some probably fatally. The
bodies of the dead have not yet
been recovered.
Only a few days before The Post was
called upon to chronicle this brief tele-
graph:
The California Powder mills,
five miles from Santa Cruz, Cni.,
which Ind been working night
and dny to supply the govern
,nent demand, were blown up on
the night OF April =. Eleven men
II lx.n H. I,r pVnS fxrs
The country knew that a United states
powder works had been blown up and COL
umns were devoted to a description OF
dynamite and>luther high explosives, but
very little was said about the heroes OF
the explosion, the men who were killed
In the service of their country, as truly
as those who went to sea.
THE LIVES OF THE HEROES.
The people who work in the powder mills
are the greatest heroes this country
knows. They are buried in secluded VII
lage at least mile away from any other
settlement and they live secluded life
They have their own churches to be sure
their own entertainment halls, their own
pleasures and their excursions; but from
the nature OF their occupation, they never
mingle with the world They seldom live
TO be over So years old and when they die,
the world is none the wiser.
The heroes who go to war get good pay,
and If killed, great pensions are paid 10
their families for life and those who ccme
after them, but the heroes of the powder
mills do well if they get "a day and when
they are gone, that Is all there Is of them
as far as acknowledgement of their work
Is concerned.
For months at time they are out CT
employment and must lie idle In the little
cottages of the powder mill towns When
there is need for their services as now,
they must work night and day, and though
they receive double pay for their labor
they also take twice the risk with death.
No soldier in war ever had costume
more complete than the powder mill
worker When dressed to go to work YOU
would scarcely recognize him as a membe.
OF civilized community. Even his shoes
are different from those worn in the
streets and he has about him not particle
OF metal of any description.
HIS shoes are of leather made with

Whose lives are spared embark for home
For, darling, / may fall
Upon some torrid battle plain,
Alar from homo and thee,
But say He died (should be slain)
For Cuba's liberty
Vet weep not thou, nor sorrowing moan.
Though return no more,
Nor pray for me, when life has flown,
God mercy, | implore
Whlet yet live, not after death;
An then 1t were too late;
No prayer couldst reach on thy frall breath
To change the souls estate.

Ask for thy soldier hoy.

Though bring it pain or Joy.
Direct him rightly In the fray
on that far baltic field
Good bye, sweetheart Wouldst still delay?
HISS me and say God shield.'
