This soldiers tale Of food is interest

During his term of service in 18th

of the stomach and bowels which all
army doctors who treated him pro-
nounced incurable, but which Grape

I'm October, 1899, when my enlist

When / got home was a total wreck
physically and my doctor put me to
bed saying he considered me the worst
broken-down man of my age he ever
saw and after treating me 6 months
he considered my case beyond medical
aid.
During the fall and winter of 1900
and '01 l was admitted to the Barnes
Hospital in Washington, D. c.. for
treatment for chronic inflammation of
the stomach and bowels but after
months returned home as bad as ever.

Has Been Little Used. By President
Roosevelt Or Guests.
WITHOUT EXPENSE TO NATION.
Has Cruised $4,000 In Twenty-ons
Months. And with The President.
His Family Or His Guest. Ninety
Four Miles.

Washington, April 11.-Mr. Williams
of Mississippi filed in house for repro
duction in the Congressional Record, a
letter from Secretary Moody, giving
detailed history of the use of the May
flower by the president.
He says the Mayfower is not, as was
stated in the criticism. ''the presidents
yacht"
''She receives her orders from the
department the same as other vessels.
In accordance with a custom of long
standing, however, a vessel of tn
navy has been at the disposal of the
president from time to time, as he may
desire it. The Mayfower has been the
vessel selected for this service, under
directions from the president that at
no time should she be diverted from
any naval duties for which she might
be needed. 1t would be an injustice
to the officers and men of the May
flower to show that her sole or princi-
pal use was that of a yacht.
1.-The only use of the vessel made by
the president or by his direction has
been made since the beginning of her
present commission, June %, 1902.
During the twenty-one months she has
cruised twenty-five thousand miles,
which is more than the average of our
naval vessels. The president has spent
aboard her at various times total of
something less than forty hours and
has travelled in her ninety-four miles.
He has spent one night aboard her, be-
ing detained there by bad weather on
his return from review of the nation
al guard of the state of New Jersey.
OF these forty hours, all except on one
occasion were spentin the performance
of official duties The total time spent
on board the vessel by the presidents
family has been one week and the dis
lance travelled while they were abroad
40 miles.
All expenditure of every nature oc-
casioned by the visit of president or
any member of his family or guests
have been paid by him. The May
flower has never been held for the
presidents use, nor at any time has
any money been expended on 'refur-
nishing the ship as the presidents pri-
vate yacht nor for refitting and
repairing for the presidents personal
use,' nor for keeping the Mayflower at
the disposition of the president. Since
she last went into commission there
has been absolutely no change in her
interior fittings, except for the comfort
of the crew, the installation of wireless
telegraphic apparatus for increased
signalling facilities, and for the in
crease of the battery by an addition
of two four inch breech loading rifles
81 have the honor to say in closing
that, according to the best of my
knowledge and belief, the Mayfiower
has not been diverted an hour from
any naval duty for which she was
needed, nor has dollar of the public
money been expended for the pleasure
or convenience of the president or his
family or guests"
