Col. Clark Explains Away the Numerous
Complaints of Bad Food.

Col. Clark Explains Away the Numerous
Complaints of Bad Food.
Governor Grout addressed a letter of
inquiry to Col. o. d. Clark, commander
of the Vermont volunteers at Chicka-
manga Park, Ca, relative to the numer-
Gus reports of bad and insufficient food,
and under date of June 16 the colonel
replied as follows:
Yours of 18th inst. is Just received, and
in reply to your inquiries will state that
the only trouble the boys have had with
their fare was at first when the cooks
were green, and they were trying to get
through the 10 days field rations which
were issued us in Vermont and which
included no fresh meat. We got fresh
meat advanced as far as possible, which
had to be deducted from the next issue,
and as a result for the first u days or
so pork was the chief diet, and the
kickers developed.
The ration is now
pound fresh beef Five days each week..
4 pound bacon.
= pound bacon when no beef
Is ounces fresh bread.
% ounces beans.
| II As ounces potatoes.
10 ounces onions, or As ounces canned
! tomatoes.
| 3-5 ounces coffee.
! 2-5 ounces sugar.
Vinegar, salt, pepper, etc, in abundance.
The quality of most of the stuff is very
good and the companies are getting used
to swapping or dispOsing of savings and
so getting little luXuries in addition.
Though | have been separated from
the regiment as brigade commander
most of the time since our arrival | have
kept my eyes on it as far as | could and
can assure you that, aside from the
necessary discomforts of army life, there
has been nothing to cause complaint and
very little of it has been heard here.
As regards clothing, | will say that
the regiment is very nearly equipped
now, but the delay, which has affected
all other un-unformed troops as well,
has been annoying.
The general health of the men has not
been bad, not nearly as bad as | expected
on account of the terrible strain caused
by change of climate, diet and manner
of life. DR.. Lee is with us as brigade
surgeon; DR.. jackson is at division
hospital and DR.. Hamilton with the
regiment Yhere are no regimental hos
pitfalls now; all patients sick enough to
require treatment being taken to division
twice each day. Minor ailments con-
stitute "sick in quarters" and are cared
for in our hospital tent, which is now
equipped with cots, sheets and pillows
and | have given the surgeon carte
blanche to procure any luxuries he deems
proper. Division hospital is we'll equip
ped and from reports received l do not
doubt that the best of care is given the
sick there.
The boys stand well as to behavior
and when they get fully equipped will
be credit to the state in looks as vel
as conduct.

NERVOUS INSANITY.
NERVES AND HEAL
THY KIDNEYS CANNOT ENIST
IN THE SAME BODY.
Necessity of iFinding Remedy to Cure
Diseased Kidneys Led to the Discovery
of the World-renowned Morrow's
INitlrenials

No organs of the body are more dependent
upon the healthy action of the kidneys than
the brain and nerves. If waste matters of
the system are not removed as rapidly as
formed, the nerves are the first to know it
and suffer in consequence. The kidneys
must remove these most poisonous matters.
Therefore, the importance of the relation of
the kidneys and nerves is apparent and
shOnld be of deep concern to each individual.
If the kidneys do not perform their func-
lions properly systematically and on time,
serious complications must arise throughout
the entire body. From the nerves first comes
acute and chronic headaches; then eXcitabil-
ity of temper; next nervous prostration,
shattered nerves and insanity. With proper
treatment of the kidneys all these troubles
can be avoided or cured.
There Is only one known remedy that not
only will make the kidneys sound, as nature
intended they should he, but also haye a
strong and wholesome effect upon the nerve
centers-that remedy is MOrrOws Kikneolds
prepared in the form of n yellow tablet.
Morrow's kidneods are not the foolish fan
cy of a day, but are the result of years of eX
pertinent, experience and Il thorough study
of the relations existing between the nerves
and Kidney. The honor of the discovery OF
the NidneOids is due to John Morrow, that
eminent chemist of Springfield, Ohio, whose
rcput1On would not permit INN to place upon
the market any remedy not of the highest
value and merit.
In our last issue we announced that one ot
the largest drug concerns in the Unit
ed States was negotiating Tor the control Oi
MOrrOw's kidneOidS. We are now informed
10y the discOVercr of this most peculiar rem
edv that the Herb Medicine Co., springfield
Ohio. was the fortunate competitor of the
many firms, who were endeaVOrng to secure
the sole right to prepare and sell Morrow
MdneNoi : in the United states. They arr
now on sale generally.

sent postpaid, 30 cents per box, six boxes fo

bravery. II gave the country that best
reinsurance that comes from knowing
that it can still produce men worthy Of
its illustrious founders. For the wealth
of every nation in the last resort is to be
measured in the character and quality of
its young men and women. We are all
ready to pay every possible tribute to
Lieutenant Hobson's individual force of
initiative, high sense of duty, and splen-
did patriotism. Nevertheless, what
pleases us best of all is the belief that
Hobson is an American type rather than
wholly unique personality Just as the
handful of men who were selected to join
him in his hazardous enterprise were
typical of the hundreds of other seamen
in the fleet who were equally ready to
90, many of whom shed tears of disap-
pontment, according to the reports, be-
cause they were not selected. Admiral
Dewey's work at Manila surprised the
world by swift deXterity-a combina-
ton of almost reckless daring with cool,
scientific Professionalism belongs pc
cuiarly to the American people. The
night entry of Manila Bay, the swift
elliptical maneuvering of Dewey's squad
ron, the deadly accuracy of the shots as
the ships circled past the Spanish fleet
anchored under the shadow of the Cavite
forts. remind one somehow of various
operations on a smaller scale that we see
at home every day of our lives. The To-
connective engineer, with his flying
switch, is a case in point. Many of oul
industrial operations combine skill with
daring in a manner unknown to the rest
of the world. Our great surgeons, with
their nerves of steel and quickness al
most electrical, are every day perform
ing wonders that show the same union
of personal resources and qualities
Lieutenant Hobson at Santiago under.
took bit of work that required science
skill, and cool judgment in the highest
degree, for it had to be performed upor
calculated plan under conditions OF
most extraordinary difficulty. If the
Merrinac had gone down in the wrong
place, the heroism of HobsOn and his
men would have been none the less fine
and noble. But it is wholly unfair tC
Hobson to think for a moment that he
WAS euSdSeu III Spectacular pel1Ol III
ance for the sake of winning glory ir
respective of the risk of human life
His mission was of an exactly opposite
nature. 1t was the merciful project of {
man who takes his own life in his hanC
mot desiring to throw taway-plannine
indeed to save it if possible) for an OBJ
ject the success of which might save
thousands of lives. In its economy o.
life, indeed, Hobson's enterprise was the
most notable and successful that can be
found in the annals of modern warfare
for it was not intended merely to atlec
a single battle or to gain some moment
airy advantage, but rather was meant t
be the essential pivot upon which the
whole war should turn.-Review Of

They too have heard the Grum-Deat,
They follow the bugle's call,
These who are swift with pity
on the field where brave men fall.
When the battle boom Is silent,
And the echOing thunder dies,
They haste to the plain red sodden
With the blood of sacrifice.
The flag that floats above them
Is marked with a crimson sign,
Pledge of a great compassion
And the rifted heart Divine
That once for mans redemption
Knew earth's completest loss,
These TO the field of valor
Bring loves immortal cross.
And so they follow the bugle,
And heed the drum-beat's call,
But their crrand is one of pity
They succor the men who fall

Ihere is decrease OF S2OO to Sl,OOO
a year in the shore pay of naval Off
GERS, and still a further decrease when
they are on waiting orders. In the
army mounted officers receive a little
more than those who are not mounted.
The table shows that all the naval
ranks below commodore receive a
larger compensation than the CORE
spending ranks in the army In the
cases Of naval captains and command
ers it is easy to perceive the reason for
this. Captains and commanders are
command ranks, and the officers in
these grades are usually placed in po-
sitions OF the gravest responsibility as
commanding officers of ships. Further
more. they are compelled to Go a con-
siderable amount of entertaining, which
puts them to much expense. Again,
naval officers when aaoat are obliged
to maintain separate establishments
for their families.

has caused widespread comment.

of the army, says: THE prevailing
impression is that war between Spain

means hundreds and thousands of dollars
saved to all people-rich and poor, but we go
still further. If any of our customers find
five days after making a purchase from us
that our prices are not cheaper than other

the very lowest prices that the goods can be
marked at. One Price has become the key
note of honesty and fair dealing all over the
