Judge OF what army rations should he

Spanish American war saw any good hard
tack; therefore, they took it for granted
that there was nothing better in that line
H. Ii. Hatch, Captain, 74th ILL.,, Middle
town, o.
lThe hardtack sent US by Comrade
Hatch certainly look very well, but un-
fortunately they do not taste as well as
they look. They lack salt and the prope,
flavor of wheat bread. 1t seems 10 us
that they have been made OF too fine
fiour-that is, -four in which all the
gluten and nitrogenous matters have been
taken out, and nothing but the starch
left. This is a common fault with mod
ern -four. The millers sacrifice all the
more nutritious elements of the wheat in
order to make a perfectly white flour.
The wheat-berry is in itself sufficient 10
support life indefinitely, and it is about
the only food product that is capable OF
doing so. A man would soon starve to
death if fed exclusively on any other
food product, but he can live on indefi
nitely, and maintain his strength and
activity, if fed on wheat; but he must
have all OF the berry. To remove every
thing else and leave only the starchy part
would starve him as quickly as If fed
wholly on potatoes. This seems to be the
trouble with this hardtack.-Editor Ma

This Is only one of many wonderful cures
that have been reported following the uss
of Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People
Diseases that have baa3ed skilled physicians
for years have, in many cases yielded, as IL
by magic, when Pink Pills have been tried
by the sufferer. Their effect has been quick
and permanent in such diseases as IOcOmOtor
ataxia, partial paralysis St. VitHs' dance,
sciatica, neuralgia, rheumatism, sallOw com.
plexion, that tired feeling resulting from
vitiated hnmors of the blood, sueh "a
scrofula, chronic erysipelas, etc. They are
also a valuable specific for troubles peculiar
to females, such as suppressions, irregulari-
ties and all forms of weakness Following
their use, roses bloom where checks were
pallid, and in men they effect a radical
cure in all eases arising from mental worry,
0verwOrk or exeesses of whatever nature.
The use of this medicine is followed by no
i'll effects and 1t may be given to children
with perfect safety. These Pills are manu-
fictured by the Dr. Williams Medicine Com

in boxes bearing the firms trademark and
wrapper at 30 cents a box six boxes for

creek, and then pulled into il, and we
soon found il widened into Il timber
swamp and in this we hid our boat, and
then took ourselves 10 what we deemed a
secure place. We were, however, soon
astonished 10 find ourselves within a
stones throw Of a rebel camp; but there
was now no help for US, and we were
compelled 10 do the best we could.
The town, also, which was in full view,
was full OF rebel soldiers and refugees,
and these, 10 add To our unpleasant feel
ings, were constantly engaged in running
of stuff and hiding il in the very swamp
in which our boat was concealed. There
was, also, on our own side OF the river, a
body Of cavalry and infantry, some eight
or nine hundred altogether, and two pieces
of artillery, but the latter were taken away
during the day.
Notwithstanding all these difficulties,
we escaped detection, but were obliged to
abandon our boat and take to the woods,
which we did as soon as il was dark.
Our course was up the creek and through
the woods until we concluded we were far
enough away To have no more To fear from
the rebel camp, when we struck out, and

While he was preoccupied tn this dis

which the rebels deemed sufficient to
check the progress Of the beats.
My work, however, was not done when

dispatches To deliver to Gen. Schofield at
Newbern, or Kingston; and as my orders
were to proceed 10 the former place by sea,
Gen. Dodge gave me transportation on the

few chaps who, | observed, were plunging
about in heavy boots, peajackets, and
uncouth looking hats; and who were
chiefly employed in pulling first at this
rope and then at that, as though they
might have imbibed too freely of old BOur-
