the wrong in imposing continuous, Il not

portion Of girls Of that age and Under

the system was adopted. During the
past year the system has cost The govern.
ment about $4,000 and With this
amount the postof6ce department has
been able to give excellent satisfaction.
There are still 100000 square miles mot

the employment Of $4,000 10 a7.ooo car.

department expects that this will Be C.
complished within the next three yeass.
When the economic conditions Of the
people are satisfactory and prosperous
there need be no fear Of the moral, social
and political interests Of the country. All
social and political upheavals in the
world have been at time when the
economic conditions were depressed and
the masses Of the people were suffering
for material wants. The prosperous
home is the safe anchorage of the ship Of
state. The home. makers and home
owners are the life-blood Of the nation.
Population without land is mob" To
make it possible for millions Of those who
toll to acquire homes upon the land, Il .
question worthy Of the thought Of the
philanthrophy and best craftsmanship Of
today. The reclamation + the vast arid
public domain by means Of national irri.
CATION works will open the door to the
west, and not only assure q continuation
Of the present measure Of prosperity, but
lead to improved economic conditions for

EngiaHd's Food Supply.

An association has been formed by
Eomc of the most prominent men in
England to force parliament to au-
thorize the formation Of royal COM
mission which shall investigate the
question of feeding England in time Of
war, says the New York Commercial
Advertiser. In a recent manifesto it
is pointed out that more than half Of
the 41,000,000 who make the popula-
ton of the country have an income
which averages less than so shillings a
week. Seven million do not average
% shiTlings. In case Of war even the
fear of shortage would Immediately
bring food to famine prices, and it
would be but a short time before the
conditions became intolerable. The
idea of this new association is the ulti-
mate establishment of great granaries
which would hold reserve supply Of
food.

The Stomach Is the Man.

A weak stomach weakens the
man, because 1t cannot transform
the food he eats into nourishment.
Health and strength cannot be re-
stored to any sick man or weak
woman without first restoring
health and strength to the stom-
ach. A weak stomach cannot di.
gest enough food to feed the

the body. Kodol Dyspepsia Cure

branes of the stomach; and cures

TOLD OF "BALDY" SMITH.
Incidents In the Famous Civil War
Generals Career.

Generals Career.
OF the late General William Farrar
Smiths strenuous work in the army
much was written while he figured be-
fore the public, which II is interesting
now to recall. "Baldy" Smith was the
name by which the general was best
known. His premature badness was
responsible for the title. A writer In
the Brooklyn Eagle on March 20, 1879
said:
His first engagement Of any impor-
lance was on April 16, 1862, at place
variously known as Lees Mills and az
Wynne's Mills, on the Yorktown line.
People generally believe that no at
tempt was ever made by Mcclellan to
assault the Yorktown line. The great
"Cunctator," as Carlyle would have
called him, is supposed to have only
tried to dig his way through the Con-
federate Notifications. This is not
entirely true. The enemy's works ex-
tended from the York to the James,
advantage being everywhere taken OF
the conformation Of the ground, the
streams, etc. Lees or Wynnes Mills
was opposite the left Of our line. Aft
er consultation with his corps and divi-
sion commanders it was decided that
this was the weak point in the enc
my's line, and Smith was ordered to
force it. 1t was unfortunately found
to be exceptionally strong. General
Smith pushed all his artillery up close
to the pond which covered the enemy's
works and at close range silenced the
Confederate guns. He then sent the
Sixth Vermont into the swamp below
the dam, and desperate struggle en-
sued. The first line was carried, but
either the regiment was not properly
supported or the Confederates were too
strong, and our troops were repulsed
with considerable loss. At Williams
burg one of Smiths brigades, COM
manded by General Hancock, covered
itself with glory. 1t forced its way
through the enemy's intrenchments on
our extreme right, and had General
Smith been allowed to reinforce it, as
he begged to be allowed to do, he
would have taken the enemy complete
" in flank and rear and would have
ended that affair very differently.
General Smith was never wounded,
although he exposed himself like a
grenadier. He stood within a dozen
yards of the first timber chest exploded
in the Army Of the Potomac and ex-
hibited no more concern than If the
Confederate shell that did the mischief
had been a message of peace and good
will.
