THE END OF THE GRIP
AFTER EIGHT YEARS OF
COMPLICATED TROUBLES.


Deafness, Kissing Soundsfn Head, Stomach
Disorder. Palpitation OF Heart and
Debility Overcome at Last
Mr.. Newman certainly had q very
tough time with the grip, and it is no
wonder that he thinks that the remedy
that cured him can't be beat. His case
shows how profoundly grip poisons the
system and how obstinately it resists all
ordinary efforts to eradicate it.
Few cases can be worse than Mr.. New
man. for he had head. heart and stom-
ach troubles combined with great weak
ness He recently said:
''The attack of grip which had eight
years ago left me in a very bad fix. I
became nearly deaf and my head ached
continually and was filed with kissing
and roaring sounds Ny heart fluttered
and had regular running-away spells.
My stomach was SO sore that could
hardly bear a touch on that part of my
body. I had a great deal of pain in the
region of my liver and the doctor said
that organ was enlarged. My kidneys
ached SO at times that could hardly
stand.''
Didn't you give up and go to bed? ?"
he was asked.
"No, I simply wouldn't. My head
and my back ached dreadfully, but
obstinately dragged myself about, kept
growing worse and finally ran down to
almost nothing
What did you do to get relief?"
"First tried doctor, but he did me
no good Then I took all kinds of adj
vertised preparations but nothing proved
helpful until began to use DIR. Williams
Pink Pills. As soon as I got them I
knew that I had at last hit the right
remedy for my case. The very first box
did more for me than anything else
had ever taken. They gave me relief
right away and in three months they
positively cured me. I think I was
scarcely ever in better health in my life
than am at present.
| MIR. William A. Newman is a WELL
known Camden county farmer, living at
Sagrada, Missouri. His case was a se-
we're test for any remedy, but DIR. Will
Gams' Pink Pills met every requirement.
Other remedies merely drive the poison
of the grip into hiding, but DIR. Williams
Pink Pills drive it out of the system.
They are sold by every druggist.

German guard as 'Buttermilk. Soon
afterward the officer who had given

economy in summer, taking the place
of the winter problem of economic
consumption of coal. When it is re-
membered that water from melting
ice has the same temperature as the
ice itself, although a large amount of
heat has been absorbed in changing
the physical form of the vapor, it will
be seen that this water, which is just
at the freezing point, is good re-
frigerating medium itself, and should
be utilized. The difficulty is that all
refrigerator designs disregard this
fact, and allow the cold water, derived
from the melting of the ice, to flow
away to a drain or waste pipe. By
eQuipping the refrigerator compart-
ment with a reservoir presenting a
large surface area, and collecting the
drip therein, the melting of ice is re-
duced to a minimum, the water alb
sorbing a large amount of heat that
would otherwise be consumed in trans
forming the ice into water. Means,
of course, should be provided to carry
the cold water to the bottom of the
reservoir and to permit the surplus
water to escape from the surface.

A Nations Strength.

What builds a nations pillars high
And its foundatio strong?
What makes it mighty to defy
The foes that round it throng?
1t is not gold Its kingdoms grand
Go down in battles shock;
Its shafts laid sinking sand,
Not on abiding rock
Is it the sword? Ask the red dust
OF empires passed away;
The blood has turned their stones 10
rust.
Their glory to decay.
And is it pride2 Ali that bright crown
Has seemed to nations sweet;
But God has struck its lustre down
In ashes at His feet
Not gold. but only man. can make
A people great and strong;
Men who for truth and honor's sake,
Stand fast and suffer long
Brave men who work while others sleep,
Who dare while others fly
They build a nations pillars deep
And lift them to the sky

Illinois Soldiers Claim to Fame

lllinoiS soldiers Claim to Fame.
In the engagement at Belmont one
of the bravest feats of the early part
of the war was performed by a Capt.
Schmitt of the Twenty-seventh Illi-
nois. Under heavy fire of muskett-
ry, which killed and wounded a num-
Der of men of this regiment, Capt.
Schmitt, with part of his company,
noticed that another company had
been cut off and its flag seized by the
enemy. He pushed forward in the
face of a terrific fire and after losing
half of his men before he reached the
top of the slope. not only recovered
the company flag, but tore from it's
staff the flag of the enemy and car
ried both trophies back to his own
lines
A remarkable fact about this en-
eagement was that it was the first
time the Twenty-seventh had been
under hre. 1t had no guides of any
sort and encountered great odds on
every hand, but though it was badly
cut up and at times during the en-
gagement lost at least three of its
standards, it recovered them all and
brought back, for good measure, three
of the flags of the enemy.
The Thirty-first Illinois, commanded
by John A. Logan, also distin guish ed
itself and did valiant service at this
same fight. Gen. Logan, in describing
the eliminating point of the battle.
and illustrating his favorite custom of
stirring his men to action by the
sight of the flag, said:
Gen. McClernandy, who was by my
SIDE ordered me to take my regiment
and cut my way through the enemy
l took my flag and told Capt. McCook
to carry it to the head of the column
and die with it in his hands l then
gave the order for the Thirty-frst to
follow the flag and myself and they
did it with as steady and firm step
as if they had been veterans and not
green volunteers"
This regiment successfully swept

paprica. Pour over all a half-pint of
cold water, cover closely and cook
very slowly-allowing fifteen minutes
to the pound. Transfer the meat to a
hot dish, strain the gravy, thicken it
with Drowned flour and pour over the

1t is entirely probable that Flight
ing Bob"-for it was here that he re-
ceived the sobriquet which he had
fairly earned, but which is extremely
distasteful to him-not only did his
share to bully the enemy by choice cpl
thets, but possibly he may have loaned
out supply of verbal ammunition to
his men; for, as an old darky put it,
"Marse Bob be drefful pow'rfui ex-
horter, for suah, when he once done
give his min to de subjec.''

typical Volunteer officer.

Volunteer officers" said the Cap
tain were of all sorts, and in the
first year of the war | wondered now
they would maintain discipline when
it came down to the things that tried
mems souls. | remember a young Eel
low, overconscious as to his own de-
ficiency, who was elected captain of a
company. He made mistakes and was
laughed at to his own misery, and the
Colonel regarded him failure.
"One day the Captain, who had not
fully mastered the school of the sol
.oier, and who was little afraid Of
the big FOSTERING men of his company,
was ordered to look after some rebel
cavalry threatening our outposts
Just as he ordered his men into line
along a fence that cavalry opened
fire across a very large field, and the
captains company replied No harm
was done on either side and the rebs
seemed to be laughing at the wild
shooting of the Yanks.
"At this juncture the Captain climb
ed over the fence, and. shouting.
Come on, boys, Let's drive them ont
of thati' started at a full run across
the field His men looked at him in
amazement and stood still. Then a
dozen of the braveSt climbed the fence
and ran after him, and they were fol-
lowed by the rest of the company.
The rebs thought at first the disor-
-derly charge was a great joke, but the
young captain rose to the occasion
and by audacity and energy drove the
cavalry in disorder from the field.
From that day his company was
afraid of him and he held aloof from
the men. He devoted himself to tao
tics, and after taking lessons of an
old regular sergeant promoted to lieu
tenant he became a most exacting
drill master. When it came to cross
ing a river or getting a battery up a
hill, or a charge, his company always
acquitted itself well. The men ex-
pected him to lead in whatever they
were called upon to do. One day he
came at the head of his quick stepping
company upon a train stuck in the
mud. General Nelson was swearing
and drivers of mules were nervous
The Captain ordered his men to stack
arms, and said: We are going to get
them out. Ten men to wagon, and
out they CO. He put his own shou!-
der to Wheel directing his men
as he did so. The wagons went out
and before Nelson could say a word
the men had taken arms and were
marching off. But the General never
forgot the young Captain. who was a
major after Shiloh. Chicago Inter
Ocean.

Admiral Evans in the Civil War.


Rear Admiral Evans, then a lieuten-
ant, commanded one of the detach-
ments of seamen landed by Rear Ad-
miral Porter to attack Fort Fisher on
the sea front. 1t was intended chiefly
as a feint to attract attention from
the main assault to be made by the
army but the seamen were so much
carried away by the possibility of
capturing the fort by themselves that
they charged it like crazy men as soon
as they were ashore Then the confed-
crates jumped to the conclusion that
this was the main attack and massed
their troops to resist the seamen- AS
a result the bluejackets, although they
reached the foot of the parapet, suf-
fered severely, in killed and wounded.
They did not retreat, however, but
huddled along the outer edge of the
glacis, where the cOnfederateS could
not fire at them without rising high
enough to expose themselves. Among
those who fell at this point was Bob"
Evans, one leg being so shattered at
the knee that it was believed impossi-
BILE that it could be saved.
There we lay said Evans after
ward, 1.-The 'Johnnies' taking pot-shots
at us whenever they dared, and our
every head that came up, for that
was our only protection against ami
hilation- Not until the army took
them in the rear and swept them from
one traverse after another did we feel
there was any hope to escape. We
were so close to the rebs that we
could sass each other back and forth;
and l think that was about the only
thing that saved our lives; for there
were so few of us left that the John
mics could have gobbled US in a min
ute if they had only known our weak
ness. 1t was one of the few occasions
when a really fluent profanity was
practically useful, for it certainly had
a discouraging influence upon the fell
lows behind the parapets to hear them
selves damned unanimously by a line
of men who apparently had cuss words
enough to represent a whole army
