NURSING MOTHERS

A mothers poor health is bad enough for the mother but worse still for the nursing baby.
 Mothers find Scott's Emul- sion a nouris h ling and strengthening food. If the breast milk is scanty or thin Scott's Emulsion will make it rich and more abundant.
 When mothers take Scott's Emulsion the babies share in the benefits. Thin babies grow fat. Weak babies get strong.

My Dear Graham-To begin, in reply tentions or oretensions and I shall be glad if you shall succeed in getting the work you intended publishing just after the war. before the people; there is no other one person save you, or Cook, or Clark, OF myself, who could tell the story of Santiago. All of us saw it from beginning to end and the Brooklyn and Oregon were exposed from beginning to end of the combat and were closer the enemy at every stage of the fight than any other ship or ships. If. these facts story of Santiago correctly, then you are qualified in, an eminent degree to tell the story of Santiago. and I'd tell it without fear or without favor" Sampson was in Sboney harbor the morning when the fight began and O'ShaughnessY of Chicago. swears 1t. This fact you ought to bring out clearly and it is certified to by O'Shaughnessy. who was on the beach that morning and saw the New York there. and that is undoubtedly a fact.
 No. I will indorse you in the highest way possible. so you may fire when

Saved Inv a Cloud of Dust.

"Did | ever tell you how clouds OF
what many people believe would have
been certain capture at the hands of
the Confederates" asked member of
the old Veterans Reserve corps which
was on duty at Fort Stevens during the
war, to a crowd of companions in a
downtown hotel the other day, No one
in the assemblage had heard the story
and so the veteran continued.
ut was when the army Of
northern Virginia was just out
side the capital city. You may
remember that General Early,
who was in command of this particular
division OF the confederate forces, in
writing to refute statements published
in northern papers to the effect that he
could easily have marched into Washin-
ton, said: Il knew the defenses were
weak when | arrived but my troops
were so exhausted from the enforced
march that a halt was absolutely neces-
sary and the next morning | knew by
clouds of dust that re-enforcements had
arrived"
"That dust, gentlemen, was raised by
a few men, not exceeding 100, OF the
Veteran Reserve corps. The temporary
commander of this company, a stout
man of medium height, whose name or
rank | did not learn, because he wore
no blouse or insignia, placed the men in
line in the rear Of and between Fort
Slocum and Fort Stevens After max
ing short speech, in which he urged
every man 10 do his best. he directed us
to march down some distance on the
grass past Fort Stevens. Once there he
told us to break ranks and right about,
returning in the middle OF the main
road and kicking up all the dust we pos
sibly could. We doubled on the line,
marching down on the grass and com
ing back in the dusty road. 1t was a
dry season and we all had on broad-sol-
ed shoes We made the dust fly, tell
you. and II Ia no wonder General Early
thought re-enforcements by the thOus-
ands had come to the relief of the hand
full on duty mt the forts. Washington
